The Singleton correspondent of the Maitland Mercury, reports the marriage of five ais'ers in a family in that district to five brothers of another family. Damages to the large amount of £3,000 were obtained in an action for breach of promise of marriage in the Court of Common Pleas a short time back, by Miss Elizabeth Webster, daughter of a Loudon woolbroker, against Mr T. J. Williams, an undergraduate of Oxford, 24 years of age, possessed of property worth £IOO,OOO. There was no defence, the defendant having withdrawn from his engagement on the ground of being not yet prepared to settle down to married life.
