And in 181S Westmin ster was the scene of the marriage of Prim-ess Patricia of Connatight tot'om luander Ramsay, R. N. Refore that wedding hundreds of yearn had elapsed since a royalty was married in the Ab bey. It may Ih said with fair truth that my clergyman connected with the All Ikw would have the right to demand that his wedding should be colehi'HIeil there, and thai this claim would be idmitted lo the Abaey authorities, one notable cleric whose wedding took place whilst lie, was a member of the Chapter was the present Itishop of Durham, then Canon Hensley lleiisou.

These are the "King's Scholars" of Westminster School.

But in past centuries tlie married scholar was not entirely unknown in the great WwtminSter "Scholars' are, by menmew of the Chanter of the Abhor, and are duly udmitted as such at an annual service held by the Dean after each new elee- titon. Owing to this fact, they are believed by certain legal authorities to be able to demand successfully the right of being married In the Abbey. just as. should they die whilst Schol-, ars. they would have sonic claim to be. buried iu its precincts. It is noteworthy that, though no ac tual scholar ever could marry nowa days, nevertheless, when "old boys" do ask to be allowed the privilege) it is seldom denied I hem, especially if they have resided within tlie Abbey pre cincts, apart from their actual resi dence in college) A notable case in point was that of the son of a former headmaster of Westminster School, und formerly n Scholar, who was wedded In the Ab bey a few years back in King Henry VI I s Chapel.
