Note 9 — The Rev. JOHN GRIERSON and the Rev. Mr. WILKINSON TRANSPORTED FOR UNLAWFULLY PERFORMING THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

“On Saturday last a Fleet parson was convicted before Sir Ric. Brocas of forty-three oaths, (on the information of a plyer for weddings there,) for which a warrant was granted to levy 4l. 6s. on the goods of the said parson; but, upon application to his Worship, he was pleased to remit 1s. per oath; upon which the plyer swore he would swear no more against any man upon the like occasion, finding he could get nothing by it.”—Grub-Street Journal, 20 July, 1732.
