SELLING A WIFE AT SMITHFIELD.--A
and disgraceful scene happened in Smith-
most disgusting
field-market on Monday last, which, at the present day, is
of very rare occurrence. About two o'clock in the after-
noon a fellow came into the market, leading his wife by
a halter, and gave her to a drover, desiring him to tie her
up to the pens and sell her to the best bidder. The wo-
man, who did not appear to he above 25 years of age,
and not had-looking, suffered herself to be tied up very
quietly. A crowd of persons soon gathered round, and a
man of rather a respectable appearance entered into a ne-
gociation with the drover for the purchase of the wife,
and, after some higgling, she was finally knocked down to
him for the sum of 10s. The money was paid, but the
drover refused to release her except on the payment of 2s.
as his commission for the sale which he had effected. Some
confusion took place about the demand, but it was
eventually paid, and she was released from the pens oppo-
site the Half• Moon public-house, and delivered to her pur-
chaser, who appeared highly pleased with his bargain.
The parties adjourned to a neighbouring public-house,
where the late husband spent the greater part of tite money
in brandy And Water.
