| hearsay:- |
About 1830 John Martin persuaded his sweetheart to meet him at Ouse bridge, to set
off for Gretna to be married. When she stepped up on the bridge wall to mount behind
him on his horse, he pushed her off into the river. She fell in with a small basket
and a part open umbrella. These helped her float down the river to where she caught
a tree branch; she hauled herself ashore and walked to a friend's house to spend the
night in safety. In the morning she went to John Martin's home and told his uncle
what had happened. When the young man came in from the fields his uncle knocked him
down with a dungfork. John Martin was committed for trial at Carlisle assizes, but
died of cholera before the he culd be tried. |
