Christening
Extraordinary,—Saml. Ferry, of Burton Bradstock, near Bridport,
labourer, aged 50, having lately witnessed the ceremony of baptism, and
knowing that his parents had never presented him to the font for that
purpose, was forcibly stuck with the necessity of conforming to the
ritual of the church; he therefore applied to the Rev. Mr. Cox a few
days since, who performed the ceremony. His sponsors were not so old as
himself; it is however rumoured that this step is preparatory to his
being married.
