LOST HIS BRIDE.

JILTED ON WEDDING EVE. I SUED FOR UNPAID RENT. (From Our Own Correspondent.) LONDON, May 6. Sued for the rent of a flat, a young man pleaded at Westminster County Court that he had been jilted on his wedding eve. j Evan G. Bright, of South Street, Isle- j worth, a dairyman, was stated to have signed an agreement to take a flat for three years, and he was sued for £2o for the period up to which it was relet. "I never lived in the flat," Bright told Judge Dumas, '"for on my wedding eve my bride told me she could not go through with it. I had a job at £3 a week, but I have lost that since, and all I have now is 16/ a week 'dole.'" Judge Dumas said he felt very sympathetic, but had to give judgment against him. "However, if you have no money I do not see how you can pay," he added. "I hope you will soon get another job and then no doubt you will let the plaintiffs know." Afterwards Bright told a reporter: "All arrangements were made for my wedding to take place at the end of last August. I took a flat and bought furniture. "But the evening, before the wedding my bride came to me and said that she could not go through with it. It came as a terrible blow, for we had been enframed f° r two or three years. "As a result of all the worry I eould not attend to my work properly, and I lost my job as well as my bride."
