The Williamson-Elliott Nuptials on Wi Morning. A quiet wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Elliott, 306 Queen street, on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, when their .{ daughter, Cora Valetta, was united in marriage to George N. William- iamson, . Ellis, Methodist the ceremony, which took place under an arch of flowers. The bride entered the Rev. J. |{ drawing-room on the arm of her |l fathér. Miss Evelyn Dennell played | the wedding march. The couple were unattended. Little Miss Muriel Elliott, of Brockville, cousin of the || bride, acted as flower girl, and car- || ried a basket of pink sweet peas. The bride looked very charming in {a beautiful gown of pussy willow {satin with georgette and pearl trim- mings, and carried a shower bou- quet. She wore a handsome veil. The {| groom served in France with the 18th Battery, 2nd Canadian division, hav- ing enlisted with the 33rd Battery in { 1915, and went over with a draft. He || returned to Canada in 1919 with the rank of battery quatermaster-ser- || geant. Many beautiful gifts were receiv- i| ed, showing the high esteem in which the couple are held by many friends. || Among them was an electric lamp from the staff of the Gedye millinery, {of which the bride was a former member, and & beautiful clock and address from ' Mr. Williamson's friends at his boarding house. The happy couple left on the fast || train for western points, and will re- '| turn by way of Sharbot Lake, where they will visit Mr. Williamson's mother. The bride's going away suit was of brown silk, with hat to match. {{ Upon their return they will reside at '24 Division street. Mr. William is a member of the firm of Elliott and Williamson, auto- mobile repairers. Great quantities of sugar are be- ing piled up at Halifax, presumably |, for exportation abroad.

'archives of the Law Society of i' Upper Canada, lies hidden, the of the first divorce ever granted im Canada. In an age when 'divorce is common enough to disconcert conser- vative people, it is interesting to con- sider the act of the bearded members of the Legislature of Upper Canada who set the fashion at Toromto im 1840. It all began with the Rebellion of { 1837, although it is perhaps unfair to attribute this "reform'" to the spirit of William Lyon Mackenzie. But after the rebellion a paternal Government despatched to the pro- { vince, among others, the 32nd Regi- meat of Foot, to pacify the disgrum- tled settlers of an excited colony. Among the officers of the regiment was Lieut. Grogan, as he would now bg called, but then, neither "lef--" nor "loo-tenant,"" because an officer junior to captain was "Mister Grogan." The regiment was first stationed at London in which town lived John Stuart, a barrister, and his wife. After some months it was moved to Toronto, and, probably, to show their hospitality, the Benchers of the Law Society surrendered their quar- ters at Osgoode Hall to the officers of the regiment, and took their offices to the Parliament Buildings. Strange to relate, Mra Stuart, whe was a granddaughter of Chief Justice Powell, of Upper Canada, also came to Toronto--to visit her mother. She is even said to have paid a visit to Osgoode Hall, no doubt to pay her respects to the memory of her grand- father, but with the result that either | she eloped with Mister Grogan, or Mister Grogan eloped with her--tra~ dition and rumor throwing some doubt upon this part of the legal | proceedings. At any rate, there was a bona fide | elopement, and John Stuart, barris- | ter, came from London, but bearing no be-ribboned brief to Osgoode Hall. Instead he carried his trusty pistol to avenge the honor of his name. | Justice Riddell has related: In one of | his accounts of early duels, the man- ner in which Stuart and Grogan met upon the island. Neither of the principals nor any of the spectators | 'was Injured and contrary to the laws | of duelling, Grogan fired into the air. | An action for damages was brought | and Stuart recovered $3,264 to salve | his honor, but unsatisfied, an appli- | cation was made to the Legislature | for a divorce, whereupon, after due | consideration, they passed an "Act | for the Relief of John Stuart"--the first Canadian diverce--of which the | following is a fair and true copy: "Third Victeria, Capter 72. Am Act for the Relief of John Stuart. Royal Assent Promulgated on the 18th of June, 1841. Forasmuch as John Stuart of the Town of London, Esquire, shath, by his petition humbly set forth, that he and Elizabeth Van Rensselaer 'Stuart, formerly Eliza- beth Van Rensselaer Powell, are both | natives of the said Province of Upper | Canada; that a marriage was in due | | form of law had and solemnized be- | tween them at the City of Toronto, in the said Province, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hun- dred and thirty-four; that he has had three children, daughters, born to him by his sald wife, all of whom are living, who are between the ages of two and five years; that he continued to enjoy the comfort and assistance | of his wife, from the time of such | marriage until on or abeut the twen- | ty-Afth of June, mow last past, when | on a visit to her mother in the City | of Toronto, aforesaid, having eloped | with one John Grogan, then a Lieu- tenant in Her Majesty's Thirty- Second Regiment of Foot, and at that time stationed in the said City of Toronto, and immediately before sta- tioned at the Town of London, afore- said: she, the said Elizabeth Van Rensselaer Stuart eloped from him, the said Johm Stuart, and has con- tinued ever since to live apart from him, the sald John Stuart; and the said Joha Stuart commenced am aoc- tien in Her Majesty's Court of the Queen's Bench against the said John Grogan, for the seduction of his sald wife, in which such proceedings were had, that a judgment was therein rendered for him, the said Johm Stuart against the said John Grogan, for the sum of £671 14s. 3d. dam- ages and costs, as by the record of the said judgment, reference being thereunto as will more fully appear and hath humbly prayed that he' might be divorced a vinculo matri- monii from his said wife.
