A SCOT * &1 ARRI AG £.
HE'following acryjn- of a ir* "triage in
the parith of Can oh y fcr.<? been '.rard
fitted to u«, and will perhaps afford fomt
amufemem to our readers. A young woman
iu the neighbourhood of HairUwraiH, bnt on
the Englrfii fide of the river Firldet, which is
the boundary. between Scotland and England,
had fevers! years been the favorite- of the
young men, from a tolerable (hare of beautr
accompanied by the additional charms of a
pretty handfotnc fortune. Though many paid
their addresses, the competition at last fell
amongfi three, viz. * niafon, who was taken
againfi the field thi ee for one ; a horse dealer,
who was believed to be the second in favor;
and a small tenant in Canoby, who was thought
to ba*e little chance, Freffcd by these parties,
the was obliged to bring the business to a crisis
Accordingly, about the beginning of hebru
ary ensuing, flic lent for the mafou on a Mon
day night, and agreed to marry him by a I:- >
canccon the Saturday foliowing. She sent
for the horse dealer on Tuefday night, and
agreed to meet him at Lor.gtowii next Tlutrf
day, and go with him that day for Scotland,
ft he sent for the farmer on. the Wednelday
night, and appointed him likewise to meet her
at Longtowti on Thursday, for the-fame pur
pose, and told him that ihe was determined
to be married to some person before.Satuniay,
to avoid the mason. The bride and the two
bridegtooms accordingly met at Longtown,
as agreed, and, after much exertion, vitfory
at lass declared for the farmer, who brought
the prize in great triumph to JLimicleugh,
where they went to bed together before many
Witnesses, and publicly acknowledged each
other as hnfband and wife.
They/'went to Broomholm next day, and
were fined by Mr. Maxwell, as Justice of
Peace, for an irregular marriage. That night,
viz. Friday, they went home, with many
friends, to the bride’s mother’s house, and
were publicly bedded a lecond time as hus
band and wife.—On Saturday morning, how
ever the bride gave evident marks of dilVatis
fatfion with her cho.ee, privately dispatched
nirllengcrs in quell of her former lover, the
horse dealer, who was with some difficulty
found, walking away the thoughts of his
former disgrace it) a howl of punch, at the
Slack, a public house in the neighbourhood,
and drunk as lie was, he was. carried to fooihe
the mind of the difconfolatc biide, bad an
interview with her that night, and they laid
their plans. Next day being Sunday, the
fai mer and her went to appear before the con
gregation at Canoby*. to be rebuked for their
irregular marriage. Many friends were in
vited on the occasion, and rendezvoused at
the bride’s, to accompany the new. married
pair to church; but before, the hour of de
parture arrived, the horse dealer and his
friends fuirounded the house; frelhi forces
came the whole day to aid the besiegers, till
they amounted to leveral hundreds; .and thus
overpowered by numbers, the farmer and his
pai tv, after holding out till it was dark, wete
obliged to futrender at diferetion } and the?
consequence was, that the horse dealer carried
off the bride/ rode direftly to Carlifle* bf
concealing the circumstances of the case,
obtained a licence, was married to her there,
and has lived with her ever fince:—Such are
the-particulars of this extraordinary marriage,
and it is laid the farmer, to get his wife’s for*
tune, is to bring a divorce against her berorc
the Commissaries of Edinburgh. Advice of
couufd, at last, has been taken on the fubjeft.
