Thomas's Massachusetts Spy, Or, Worcester Gazette

At a late Circuit Court, and Court of Oyer and Terminer, in this village, a cause of much interest was decided.—It was an action brought by Miss Rachael Hasbrouck, a young lady of this village, against Mr. Henry Wyckoff, for a breach of promise of marriage. During the trial, the Court-room was crowded, not only with gentlemen, but by the presence of a number of the most respectable ladies of the village. The trial lasted nearly the whole day. The plaintiff was enabled to make out a clear case, and the jury assessed her damages at three thousand dollars.

We understand that the wedding day was twice appointed, the man having rendered a satisfactory excuse for not appearing the first time. The guests were assembled both times to witness the ceremony, but the man did not appear. Shortly afterwards he was married to another young lady.
