There's another in Bristol Mercury where Henry Clark and Dunsford are parting ways.

There's also another where Dunsford and (Gawd...I fogot) disolved the mining agency partnership just before Dunsford died.
pmsl! The lot of them just love the courtroom, don't they?

Yes they did......pity I can't find the court proceedings for Elizabeth Ariel's will being overturned...

I've now got 4 wills to read......lol

I'll let you know if anything pops up.

*runs for the hills* :D

HarrysMum 30-01-12 10:43
lol

Just got another one.....

Oooh, no, a cuckolded husband could claim damages from the man who had, as you so beautifully express it, the use of his wife.

OC

HarrysMum 30-01-12 10:50
5,000 pounds worth of wife to be exact OC......not bad for 1846.

Could go a long way towards buying the Gainsboroughs, etc from the ex father in law's estate.....lol

Merry 30-01-12 10:52
Yes, that happened to my uncle! He got caught in bed with a woman by her husband when the husband came home unexpectedly during WW2! I think it cost him £300.

When was that law repealed?

HarrysMum 30-01-12 10:57
I'm saying nothing about the difference in price..............lol

Merry 30-01-12 11:09
lolol!! But did Edward Clark actually receive any money from Dunsford who was a bankrupt?

HarrysMum 30-01-12 11:14
Beggered if I know.......it's all beyond me now.

Actually he did, didn't he? Wasn't that in the paper. His mum handed over some.

I do not believe they were without funds......between the Dunsfords and Crowdys, there had to be a fair whack.
