London. . . May 17. . . A gentleman of an enterprising
genius in the fortune hunting way, well known at all public
places, is at last, though mistake, married, we hear, to a
lady as enterprising as himself. This fair one appeared
frequently this winter at the opera and playhouses, dressed
extremely brilliant, had a vast change of superb jewels,
which he disposed, in the decoration of her person, to the
highest advantage, and had also a very respectable
acquaintance with her own sex in the fashionable world; all
which rendered her so irresistible to the industrious
gentleman that he pursued her incessantly, and after a siege
of six weeks she condescended to give him her hand. . . [10
lines, he finds her jewels false, decamps, and disappears.]
