Gibson, of Wnlhalla. lie was carried by tho
constable to the trial before Watkins aud
after the conviction Of Miss Smith she was
| married by the Trial Justice to McLatchett
Both parties were kept by the constable unit
the next day and brought to Walhala, ont
for trial tho other to undergo sentence
| Mclatchett was tried and convicted ant
sentenced to ten days in Jail, and tho same
constable took the newly married couple ant

mcnt, each for ten days. Wo don't brne
