DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF PROMISE
A STRANGE STORY. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) SYDNEY, 18th November. Annie Rice has obtained a verdict of £100 against James Lloyd \for breach of promise. The evidence for the plaintiff stated that Lloyd, after formally becoming engaged, arranged to marry another girl. Plaintiff's sister objected to the marriage, and the officiating clergyman stopped the ceremony. The adherents of the two parties were present in strong force and created a scene, the police were called, and the church was cleared. The officiating clergyman, in his evidence, stated the verger had told him that people inside and outside the church were armed with revolvers. He quietened them and secured the dispersal of the parties. It was a most dreadful occurrence. Lloyd, who has since been married, denied that he promised to marry Rice.
