Her Husband being present, severral Affidavits relating to the Marriage were reaad; after which, the young Gentlewoman was ask'd by the Court, whether she was willing to live with her Husband or her Guardians, and she chusing to go with the latter, the Court order'd a Tipstaff to see her safe home, that no Violence might be offer'd by her suppos'd Husband, and likewise order'd the Validity of the Marriage to be try'd before the Lord-Chancellor.
