A Female Husband

Reported for the N.Y. Express, Saturday August 13th
New-Orleans Commercial Bulletin - Aug 30, 1836

In our police report of Friday, was noticed the case of a person calling herself Jas. Walker, a male as her dress denoted. She said her real name was Jane Walker. She was examined by a surgeon and it was found that the statement as regards her sex was correct, when she removed for further examination.

...

She then stated that she had married the prisoner in 1821, in Scotland, thinking him at the time to be a male, but that she had been deceived. She did not discover the prisoner's real sex until some days after marriage, when they set sail for the United States. She has not told any one of the circumstance, not even her own relations, some of whom live in the same house with her.

...

During the examination, the prisoner was perpetually taking snuff, and seemed perfectly at ease. She was attired in striped pantaloons, a plaid stock and a grey roundabout. She on one occasion wished to persuade the magistrate that she was a hermaphrodite, but surgical examination proves her statement to be false.
