HC Deb 12 July 1897 vol 50 c1599
LORD HUGH CECIL (Greenwich)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether his attention has been called to the decision of the Queen's Bench in the case of Farmery v. Rosse, given about two months ago; and whether the effect of that decision is substantially to exempt a married woman from the ordinary process of law for the recovery of debts; and, if so, whether the Government will consider the propriety of bringing in a Bill to amend the law?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

My attention has not been called to the case, and I can find no report of it. Perhaps my noble Friend will communicate with me.
