Newcastle, May 26. On Monday last, a very particular
marriage was solemnized at Bishop Wearmouth near Sunderland,
between two young salters; all relations and acquaintance on
both sides were invited to the nuptials; they set forward to
church about half an hour past 7, preceeded by three violins
and a bagpipe;. . . [16 lines describing the quantity of
food] All things were carried on with the strictest order
and decorum, till very nigh eleven o'clock at night, when
the young couple were put to bed, with all the formalities
of singing, throwing the stocking, and sack posset. . . [2
lines conclude the article].
