An awkward predicament in which
a sailor bridegroom and his bride were
placed in ST. Mary Majors church, Elk
eter, DeVonshire, England, recently,
caused the postponement of their we'd
ding. The banns had been duly called
at the church, but when the parties
presented themselves at the altar the
bridegroom, who had been recently
paid off from his ship at Portsmouth,
was unable to produce the necessary
permission from his commander. The
bride swooned, and eventually re-
turned home, while the bridegroom
left for Plymouth to get the required
