Daniel, shoemaker, of Norbury Moor, near Stock- 
port. Remarkable as the fact may appear, it was 
her own last wish, and it has been that of several of 
his former wives, that he should take another, 
which, in obedience to their desire, and in kind re- 
membrance of their numerous good qualities, he has 
not failed strictly to fulfil, thereby lessen'ng his un- 
utterable grief at the loss of one wife by the conso- 
lations and endearments of another. This romancing 
son of St. Crispin has, to them all, been a most kind 
affectionate husband, and this virtue has, by many,
