ABSTRACT
TURN ABOUT IS FA.Ik PLAY as the children say. How many times in earlier days have we read advertisements that such and such a husband having quarrelled with ·his wife, would no longer be answerable for her debts. At that time everyth~g that a married woman possessed belonged de jure and de facto to her husband, but laws are altered, and the improved legal condition of married women at the present day can hardly be better illustrat.ed than by the following cutting from an Irish. paper, a fortnight ago. It is as follows :-
NOTICE -I, Mary M•Garvey, of 17, Samuel Street, will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my husband, John M•Garvey.
