COURT OF CHANCERY. DU3UN,
CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.
, BAKER, A MINOR.
Mr. STEWARD this day moved the Court for' •an at-
rachment against a Mr. Maguire, for a .coriteinpt• iti
marrying Miss Baker witetobt thtconsent of the Chan-
cellor. From the affidavit of Mt: Baker, it, appeared
that his sister, now married to Mr hire, is ;aide&
to acharge on the estate of hes'. father, some .time j
since dead, of 10001. and that on Saturday last, at
twelve o'clock at night; Mr. Maguire; with several
other persons, came to the door of Mr. Baker's lodg-
ings in Stephen street, and in a most riotous and tu-
multuous manner demanded the alledged minor as
his wife. Mr. Baker, almost of course, refused to
deliver up his sister, and a long altercation arose, the
consequence of which was, that Mr. Maguire was
charged on the watch. In the course of the dispute
the minor admitted herself to be married to MT. Ma-i
