John Caldigate

CHAPTER XXIX
23/24

She is the woman in whose company I went out to the Colony, and whom I knew while I was there.

It is not necessary that I should see her.

What does she say ?' 'That I am your wife, John Caldigate.' Then the deposition was read to him, which stated on the part of the woman, that on a certain day she was married to him by the Rev.Mr.
Allan, a Wesleyan minister, at Ahalala, that the marriage took place in a tent belonging, as she believed, to Mr.Crinkett, and that Crinkett, Adamson, and Anna Young were all present at the marriage.

Then the three persons thus named had taken their oaths and made their depositions to the same effect.

And a document was produced, purporting to be a copy of the marriage certificate as made out by Mr.Allan,--copy which she, the woman, stated that she obtained at the time, the register itself, which consisted simply of an entry in a small book, having been carried away by Mr.Allan in his pocket.
