Removing responsibility for a wife's debts
How do I post this???
I sometimes read notices that appear in newspapers in England in the 1850s. "I hereby give notice that I will not be answerable for any DEBTS to be incurred by my wife ??? ??? from this date as I have made a separate allowance for her maintenance.’ Can anyone provide information on the circumstances as to why such notices were printed? When did this start? When did this finish? Has any author/historian written about this? Would love to know more. |
