mily seems not to have been cognizant Of
the others: Which family is the legitimate
one, nobody at present can say until further
inquiry is made; but it seems that each
marriage was celebrated by clergyman
in this city, and the wives have been main
tanned in respectable manner 1t ap-
pears that he was in the habit of living a
fortnight at u time in each house successive-
