§ MR. MACLEAN (Bath)To ask the Attorney-General whether, in view of the advantages conferred upon married women in respect of debts incurred by them for necessaries, as recently shown in the case of "Paquin v. Beauclerk," he will take an early opportunity of introducing legislation for the purpose of rendering the separate estate of the wife liable where the husband cannot be compelled to pay.
§ (Answered by Sir John Walton.) This subject is being seriously considered. I cannot at present express any opinion upon it.
