Sold a woman

About three weeks ago a bricklayer's labourer at Marybone sold a woman, whom he had cohabited with for several years, to a fellow workman for a quarter guinea and a gallon of beer. The workman went off with the purchase, and she has since had the good fortune to have a legacy of 200l. and some plate, left her by a deceased uncle in Devonshire.

The parties were married last Friday.
