DAVIS-KERRY (Toronto) - This afternoon a most singular occurrence took place. A couple were married in the Police Court. It seems about a year ago, a good-looking young man named David Davis and a girl named Annie Florence Kerry emigrated from Ireland, and on board ship, struck acquaintance which ripened, the couple finally becoming engaged. David took advantage of the fair Annie's confiding nature and she became enceinte.

Discovering this, he grew tired of the girl, neglected her, and at last tried to throw her off altogether, but she would not be disposed of so easily, and on Tuesday, she went to Rider's livery stable where her fickle lover is employed as a hostler, and upbraided him for his conduct. He got mad. After some pretty rough signage on both sides, he seized the poor girl by the throat and threatened to kill her. She immediately swore out a warrant against her cruel deceiver and he was arrested, charged with maliciously and feloniously choking the complainant with intent to do bodily harm.

The girl informed the detective who had the case that she did not wish to prosecute the defendant but to compel him to marry her. This having been communicated to the prisoner and the enormity of his crime being pointed out, and being told that he might be imprisoned for life, he finally consented to yield to the wishes of the girl and be married then and there. The licence was procured and the intimidated bridegroom and the trembling bride were conducted to the Chief Constable's office where, in the presence of a couple of detectives, representatives of the press, the Chief Constable, and some Court officials, the twain were made one.

After the ceremony, the bride reluctantly left the building, and the bridegroom was about to do the same, but the law had not been satisfied, and he was conducted back to his cell. Mrs. Davis, weeping, then sought the Magistrate, and succeeded in getting her husband released on bail,

preliminary to having the charge formally withdrawn to-morrow. Mr. Davis says that, although an unwilling party to the marriage, he will do his best to make the lady happy.
