SUMACS lITWSIN LAD? NONONA 11114111 AT AND
LIZWYRNMIT WOODCUTS, 011 TNI ItOY•L NAVY.
With the progrefs of that mutual patlion which led
to this nuwindifoluble eonnedion, weare unacquaint-
ed, but the circamflances that occurred at the altar,
will be found to be foinewhat out of the ufual routine
of modern marriages. Her Ladythip is the daughter
of the Earl of Carats, and, on the 29th of April
completed the aIR year of het age. Lieutenant
Wooncars, of the Navy, ferved with the Noble Earl
in Egypt, where he received a wound in his leg,
which, without being amputated, obliges him, never-
thelefs, to make ufe of a wooden one. This wounded
Officer, on Saturday lag, gave notice to the Para
Clerk of St. Pancras, that he Ihould, tin the following
morning, repair to the church of that plat, to be
married to sate Hososa LANIIIILT, for which he had
a licence, (which afterwards proved to be a (pedal
one), and requefied the Clergyman might be in at-
tendance at a quarter pall nine O'clock, and particu-
cularly &fired that no delay might take place. On
the fame day (Saturday) Lord Cavan called with a
friend on the Parifh Clerk, and enquired if he had not
bad notice of an intended marriage; on being an-
fwered in the affirmative, his Lorain requeßed he
might be permitted to wait in the Clerk's houfe to
fee the parties pats to the church, which was agreed
to, and the next morning he attenckd at an early
hour ; but previous to his going to the Clerk's houfe,
he had Rationed tome perions oppofite the church
door to recognife the parties.
About the appointed time (quarter paR nine o'clock )
his Lordfhip was informed by one of his fentinels, that
the parties were in church; whither, with three friends
and iwo Rout tenants, he immediately repaired, and,
on entering. demanded his daughter ; which being
refuted by the Lieutenant and his friends, very high
words enfued, and the argument was concluded with
loch violence, that it was thought proper to call in
the conflables refident in the neighbourhood. The
Clergyman at length arrived (but not until nearly one
hour behind the appointed time). and joined the par-
ties in the veßry, when, we underlland, his Lordfhip,
in the moll pofitive terms, forbid the marriage. But
whether the Clergyman thought he was not war-
ranted in refuting to perform the ceremony, both of
the parties being of age. or from what other motive
he might have aired, we do not pretend to decide,
but to the altar, in pretence of the Noble Earl, was
his daughter led, " nothing loath."and the fehrice was
commenced ; in the middle of which his Lordfhip
role, and in a loud voice, three times forbade the
marriage. He was inflantly anfwered by the Par-
(on, who informed his Lordfhip, that the couple were
already betrothed to each other, and that it was his
duty to flan the ceremony, which he according!y
did ; and as loon as it was concluded,'the naval iero
bore wanly bu prize. His Lordfhip left the church,
after he was informed by the Clergyman that the
parties wre ietrotbee4 which was before the ceremony
was quite finibleci.
