sirous of postponing the nuptials trail she had made
her aunt acquainted w;tli the subject ; but the pi'

prevailed on her to be married on the Sunday, at St.

The RECORDER addressed the Jury in very impress,
sive terms.. He said, that the injury done to a wo-
man's fortune was much less than that done to her
person, for, to use the Scriptural phrase, " it was ham.
Ring her in the tight of men," and placing a woman in
that situation that would make mankind idols upi.n
her in a light manner, and, perhaps, ateer the lapse
,of years, she might . with a family of • children be
thrown destitute on the world, and this, too, when
she was unable to toil cur them. He then advert d
to the custom of marriages, as sanctioned by the laws
.of ScOtland and Ireland, and which induced t;:e Le,
fislature in this country to abolish Fleet marriages.—
l' he Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
