The Barnard-Castle tragedy, : shewing how one John Atkinson of Murton near Appleby, servant to Thomas Howson, Miller, at Barnard-Castle Bridge End, courted the said Howson's sister; and after he had gain'd her entire affection by his wheedling solicitations, left her disconsolate, and made courtship to another, whom he married by the treacherous advice of one Thomas Skelton, who to save the priest's fees, &c. perform'd the ceremony himself; and upon her hearing the news, broke her heart, and bled to death on the spot, this being both true and tragical, 'tis hop'd 'twill be a warning to all lovers. Tune of Constant Anthony.
