    ...and I thought I would share this one with you

    [Lincoln] City Magistrates 31 July 1845
    John STEUART, landlord of the Duke of Wellington, was ordered to pay 2s a week towards the support of the illegitimate child of Mrs. Catherine DOBBS. The widow stated that the faithless Scotchman had promised to make her a second time happy in Hymen's bonds, but that he left her, and married Mrs TAYLOR, the landlady. Several lackadaisical love-letters signed "J. Steuart" were produced, commencing "My dier Cait", and containing a great deal of laughable balderdash.....:o
