Leeds, (a town in Yorkshire) November 30. On Thursday the
18th inst. were married at Ealand, John Mason, widower, aged
75, to Elizabeth Armitage, aged 79, of Ealand workhouse,
where they had contracted a very intimate acquaintance.
They were brought from the workhouse to church in a post-
chaise, with suitable attendance; from whence they adjourned
to the Parish-clerk's, where they dined with the town
officers and other principal inhabitants. After dinner the
bride walked a minuet with one of the attendance, as did
also the bridegroom with a young woman of neighbourhood; and
to shew his extraordinary agility, he would afterwards
divert the company by dancing a hornpipe. . .
