Mrs Wright, the mother, had insisted that the en-
Ragement should be broken Off

Taylor, and gentleman connected with the courts in
this city, made up party to visit Wallacks Theater.
This was the time fixed upon for the marriage The
algenteman and Miss Hawley fingered behind the
Others, and finally, without being noticed, lett the
theater and drove to the house of friend in Ninth
street. Mr.. Taylor being sent TO look for the missing
couple proceeded TO the same place. A clergyman had
been brought over from NewJersey and Kept for two
days in readiness for the ceremony. The lovers were
married and returned to the theater so soon that the
suspicious of the ladys mother were not reused.
II was intended that Miss Hawley should continue
20 live with her mother, and that the marriage should,
for the present, be kept secret.

and is alleged that she intended to remove the lady
from the city against her will

and ever encouraged the engagement of her daughter
