Priory is shortly to be revived. Notice was given in due form, on Tuesday last, that the happy couple who will be prepared to swear that for twelve months and a day they have never made any nuptial trans- gressions—never offended each other in word or deed—never wished themselves unmarried again, but have continued true in thought and desire—will, as soon as qualified by time (which will occur next month), attend and demand the reward.
