ELOPEMENT IN SUSSEX.

A disgraceful affair has lately occurred at IIaYP
ward's Heath. A fellow named Wood, an itinerant-.
preacher, succeeded se far in ingratiating himself'
in the good opinions of many of the people around
the Heath as to induce them not only to support
him, and make him several valuable presents, but
also to build him by subscription a temporary
chapel near the Lunatic Asylum. He had no diffi-
culty in procuring credit at the shops, bakers, &c.,
and has been for some time running up scores and
getting into debt, but the summit of his scheming
hypocrisy was only reached a few days ago,
when it was discovered that he was miss-
ing,i and that the wife of a poor man n
the employ of Mr. Weddon was also non est. It
has since been reported that the pair have been.
seen in London; and what makes a haul matter
worse, the worthless woman, on leaving her hus-
band, took with her the whole of his wearing
apparel, as well as her own, with 226 in cash, also
every valuable she could lay her hands on, while
her paramour, whose wife was staying with a friend
in Brighton, took away with him not only her own
clothes, but two new hats and three or four pairs of
gloves he had procured the evening before from th6i
shop of Mr. Curtiss, and the poor woman on her
return:home found the house denuded and her own
clothes carried off by the faithless couple. Mr.
Curtiss, before he was aware of the fact, met Wood
in London, when he told him it would be all right
with the hats and gloves on his return, but he has
not thought fit to return since. To the credit of
some kind-hearted neighbours, Mrs. Wood and her
two children have been cared for, and something
subscribed for their maintenance ; but the fellow's
dupes are quite indignant at being so grossly de-
ceived. The rascal represented himself as formerly
belonging to the Press; but this is doubtful. His
wife, it is said, has received a letter from him
exhorting her to bring up the children in the fear
of God, and stating that when she received it he
should be crossing the water; hut it is to be hoped
that the police will cross his track and stop his in-
famous career.—Sussex Advertiser.
