The published return Of the marriages

1857 is rather moro interesting than
statistical documents of the kind usually
are. Only l23. out Of the 5000 mar

first cousins, and were between unclos
and nicccs. The remaining marriage
was that OF q nephew with his aunt.

cases widows or divorced women mar

widows and I divorced woman took
bachelors as their fifth husbands. and 9
widows and > divorced women took as
their fifth husbands men who had been
previously married, while s widowcrs or
divorced men married spinsters after
having already buried or got rid Of four
wives apiece ln many cases there was
a considerable difference Of age between
the contracting parties. As many as 81
women were 80 or more years younger
than their husbands: A. were from p TO
80 years younger; and l23 were from 20
to 2j years younger On the other hand,
in 1900 cases the woman was older than
her victim. In 81 marriages the differ
