Ralph Malkins
attempted to sell his wife in the streets of Sydney
'A person (for a man I cannot call him) of the
name of Ralph Malkins, led his lawful wife into our streets on
the 28th ultimo with a rope round her neck, and publicly exposed
her for sale; and, shameful to be told, another fellow equally
contemptible, called Thomas Quire, actually purchased and paid
for her on the spot, sixteen pounds in money and some yards of
cloth. I am sorry to add, that the woman herself was so devoid
of those feelings which are justly deemed the most valuable in
her sex, agreed to the base traffic, and went off with the
purchaser, significantly hinting that she had no doubt her new
possessor would make her a better husband than the wretch she
then parted from.' - Correspondence,
