THE MARRIAGE BLOCK.
BRIDE SOLD FOR £lB.
(Reuter’s Telegram.) (Received August. 1, 3 p.m.y LONDON, July 31
The Daily Express’ Genoa correspondent says: A youth living at Bellunzona, tiring of his Banco after a year’s engagement, begged release. The girl agreed on condition that he found her a bus band. She said “marriage is a lottery anyway,” so an auction was held at a cafe. The girl, who is aged 21, was knocked down at £lB to a young farmer with money. The girl buys the trousseau. The bride’s parents did not raise any objection.
