Note 10 — The Rev. JOHN GRIERSON and the Rev. Mr. WILKINSON TRANSPORTED FOR UNLAWFULLY PERFORMING THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

In a letter to George Montagu, Esq. dated July 17, 1753, Horace Walpole says:—

“Lady Anne Paulett’s daughter is eloped with a country clergyman. The Duchess of Argyle harangues against the Marriage Bill not taking place immediately, and is persuaded that all the girls will go off before next Lady-day.”
