Edinburgh Elope Noted Amid High Society Hopes and Pursuit
A Glasgow to Douglas chase recounts a high society Edinburgh elopement. A gentleman aged about 21, and his wife’s younger sister, aged 17, fled to London then Glasgow and Greenock before taking the Victoria Hotel in Douglas. Police and detectives pursued to recover the wife aboard the King Orry. The incident interrupted by the steamer’s early hours departure as the couple faced travel and a crowded baggage scene. Separately, a public meeting in South St Andrew Street discussed liquor licensing and early closing, with grocers supporting a bill to curb extended hours for health and morals. A sheriff court case in Edinburgh saw a dairy business dispute over milk quality and payment terms resolved in favor of the defendant.
