A meeting of the meichants and traders of the town,
of FAlMOtilil was held at Pearce's Rtryal H. tel, in that,
town, on Tuesday, for the purpose of establishing al
Shipping Company in the L ndon trade, when tesolu-
ti as wrre entered into to cmy the object into erect.
The following case is mentioned in the continuation
of Rapin Dining this Session of Parliament (1690,
3d William and Mary), happened an incident which
made a great noise ; Captain James Campbell, brother
to the Earl 1,1 Argile, assisted by Mr. Archibald Mont-
gomery, and Sir John Johnston, on the 14th of Nov.
forcibly seized on Miss Mary. Wharton, daughter and
heiress of Sir George Wharton, a fortune, as it was said,
of 50,0001. and about thirteen years of age. She was
carried away from her relations in Great Que:n-street,
and married against her will. The next day his Ma-
jesty issued his Royal proclamation for apprehending
Mr. Campbell, and the abettors of this m unwarrantab
action; and Sir John Johnston, being apprehended, was
tried, condemned, and executed st Tyburn, notwith-
standing great application was made to the King. andl
the relations of the btide, to save his life ; which was
thought the harder, as it appeared upon his trial, Miss
Wharton had given evident proofs that the viokncel
Captain Campbell used was not so match against her will
as her lawyers endeavoured to make it. Not long before
there was a bill brought into the House of Commons
to prevent clandestine marriages, which it was thought
this incident would have accelerated, but it dropped.—
However, another kill was brought into the House of
Commons die 4th of Dee. to render void the marriage.
between Miss Wharton and Mr. Campbell, which, not-
withstanding the Earl of Argile petitioned against it,'
in behalf of his brother, passed both Houses by the 13th
,of December."
