The Virginia Gazette

A certain elderly Gentleman, now Governor in one of our settlements abroad, took a particular liking to a girl of the town, whom he married and proposed to take over with him. His bride represented to him that it was necessary he should furnish herself with clothes, jewels, &c. before her departure; he readily granted her whatever she required for that purpose, and also laid out considerable sum himself for plate. A little before the day fixed for embarking, while the old Gentleman was out spending his evening with some friends, his Lady packed up every thing of value, and decamped with a favourite young fellow she had been before connected with, and with whom she now lives, not far from Northumberland street. She appears in a splendid manner, and has taken in several tradesmen for goods to a considerable amount, having non-suited one or two who attacked her, &c, by standing trials, and producing a regular certificate of her marriage.
