16-23 Oct 1767:14 (10/467)
Newcastle, Aug 8. Charles Howard, jun. of Greystock, in
Cumberland, Esq. who was married on the 27th ult. in Dublin,
to Miss Coppinger, sole heiress to a real estate of 1600l. a
year, near Cork, arrived with his lady at Greystock Castle
on the 1st in the evening, attended by their tennants, who
drank, the family of the Howards, round a bonfire, amidst
vollies of small arms and ringing of bells. . . On Monday by
a general invitation from the young couple themselves, the
tennants, old and young, assembled at the court-house in
Greystock; a great number of carcasses of mutton were
distributed among the poorer sort; the new married lady
gave, with her own hands, every young woman a favour; then
Mr. Howard and his lady condescended to dance with their
young tennants on the grass before the court-house, whilst
the old people, seated on benches, with health and
acclamations hailed the happy pair. The village was joyous
and gay.
