EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR At
.EEFPC.ASTLE

Great Ercitement.-'rhe Philadelphia
Sun gives the following parliculars-of an
extraordinary affair al Newcastle, Del.
1t appears that Mr.. w. Chase Barney,
had been for some time paying his adj
dresses to the daughter of Chief Justice
Booth. On the 20th ull., the fother re.
fused his consent to the match, unless he
could clear up certain mpulations which
had been cast upon his character. This,
Barney said he could do. and referred him
to persons at some distance from lha,
place. The Chief Justice departed for
the purpose of seeing the persons refer
red 10, and while he was gone, Barney in
duced the young lady 10 90 before Il
Catholic priest, in Wilmington, and give
her solemn promise TO marry him. They
went, and the priest performed the mar
rage ceremony. and the young lady not
understanding what he had said, did not
know it. unit! brother of Barney's told
her that she was married. The lady soon
realized her Barney wished
to take her to his residence, but she res
fused to accompany him, amt demanded
he should take her back TO her fathers
house, which was done.
Thus matters remained until Friday
week, when Barney went to Justice Booth
and demanded his anghter-saying that
she was his wife. This intelligence, as
may well be supposed, greatly surprised
surprised Justice Booth, and on question
ing Barney, he found out the name of The
priest who married them, and immediate
y summoned him to answer for violating
he laws of the State in performing a
marriage ceremony without license.
The priest maintained begged silence
refusing to answer any questions put 10
him. AS soon as the matter became brul-
ed about, the citizens were highly incen-
sed at the reprehensible conduct of the
priest, and on Friday matters assumed
such serious aspect, that the troops
were ordered out 10 prevent an outbreak.
The marriage, Of course, is not a legal
one. Miss Booth is member of the
Episcopal Church, and heress 10 consid.

Since the above was in type, we have
received the L. S. Gazette, containing the
following card:
