MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY
A few days since at the parish church of Himbleton, by the Rev. John Vernon, James HOBBINS Esq of Chaddesley Corbett, after a lengthened courtship of four days, to Harriet, youngest daughter of Mr. William CHAMBERS, of the New-house, Himbleton. The youthful bridegroom was rather past his prime, being in his 77th year, and consequently had no time to lose. His fair bride (who has seen nearly 16 summers) had pity on him, and took him off-hand "for better or worse" - after he had settled upon her the whole of his property, amounting to upwards of £300 a year. It seems that the newly made Benedict offered his heart and hand this previous Monday to Miss Susannah CHAMBERS, the bride's eldest sister, and, on being refused, made overtures to the next sister, Miss Ann, from whom he also received a repulse; but, determined not to be baulked in his intention to obtain a young wife, and remembering that "faint heart ne'er won fair lady", he tried a third time, and, as before stated, was successful, Miss Harriet being unable to resist the pressing solicitations of the persevering wooer. The loving couple are now at Liverpool spending the honeymoon.
