ordered an ice cream freezer half full and
bucket of lemonade to be set out. The little
boys would have been satisfied. but the big fell

remainder on the grass. A shout raised for
beer. Capt Carter made an order on the nearest
saloon or a keg and dozen tin cups. Silence
prevailed for five minutes. The guests began to
leave. Preparations in the house were made to
put the couple to bed. The lights all went ont in
the bridal chamber. Things seemed to be quieting

bridegroom. "Come out of that, colonel" was

yanked him out Of bed, made him hustle on

In the course Of county court case at
Sheffield in MAY, 1881, q man named Moore
stated that he living with the wife of one
OF his friends and that he had purchased her for
quart of beer. This transaction was brought
under the notice of the government by A. NJ.
Sullivan, who requested the home secretary
to take measures for preventing such repre-
hensible transactions. This had no effect.
evidently, for since that time many sales have
been recorded.
During the hearing Of a school board case in
the course of 1881. at Ripon. a woman informed
the bench that she had been bought for Is shil-

chaser.
At Alfreton. in 1892, a husband sold his rib
for glass of beer in public house and the
rib gladly deserted her legal lord. One cannot

Two years after this bricklayer at Peas
