Oh dear!  ::)  ::)  ::)

A SAD MISTAKE.- At the Thames-street Police Office, on Saturday Iast, a simple looking countryman, complained that a woman whom he had lately married, under the belief that she was a maiden, had brought him home five children, born at Devizes in Wiltshire, and that when he remonstrated against taking upon himself this little nucleus of a family, she gave him a precious threshing. The magistrate stated that the complainant must apply to the authorities at Devizes.

I wonder what happened next!
