Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... THE LAW OF BREACH OF PROMISE A PROMISE of Marriage is not in itself binding, DEGREES that is to say, there must be an acceptance of the promise and mutual promises of marriage. These form a contract to marry. All contracts must be founded upon a consideration; and on enquiry it is found that this species of contract discloses a consideration, which is, that the one promises to take the other to wife, if the other will take him to husband (Philpott v. Wallett, see post, page 20). Chief Justice Holt, in the case of Harrison v. Cage and Wife (see post, page 22), said the consideration for the promise is the promise of the other and acceptance of the promises by both parties. In strictness, then, what is generally known as an action of breach of promise of marriage, is in reality an action for breach of a contract of marriage. Contracts to marry must, as a general rule, be founded upon reciprocity, and an obligation on both sides to fulfil them. In such cases either of the parties may sue for the breach of the contract. An exception with regard to infants is made. These may sue for the breach though incapable of being sued for the same (i.e., he being an infant defendant, would have a good and complete defence in alleging and proving that at the time of the promise and breach he was not twenty-one years of age). The principle which governs this exception being that infancy is 1) in law considered as a personal privilege, of which no one can take advantage but the infant, and that therefore the adult party shall be bound by, although the infant may avoid the contract. The Infants' Relief Act, 37 & 38 Vic., c. 62, extends the privileges which infants enjoyed prior to 1874. All his debts and contracts, except for necessaries, are ma

A look back through the history of women who were about to be married only to be left at the altar—and left with no choice but to take their revenge. A wedding day is supposed to be the happiest, most special and blessed event in a bride’s life. And most of the time, it is. But sometimes, it is not. In this fun, fascinating look at betrothals that went bust before anyone even said “I do,” the authors have collected the true stories of what happened when the groom suddenly decided “I don’t.” From the 1780s right up to the 1970s, jilted women (and the occasional crushed suitor) employed a range of tactics to bring false lovers to book. Here is a full wedding party of cases in which women found very different kinds of happy endings, such as Mary Elizabeth Smith who forged evidence of a courtship to entrap an Earl, Catherine Kempsall who shot the man who denied their engagement, Gladys Knowles who was awarded a record £10,000 in damages by a jury in 1890, and Daisy Mons who discreetly negotiated a £50,000 settlement from a nobleman. Based on original research, this social history of breach of promise shows that when men behaved badly, hell had no fury like a woman scorned.

In a sensational breach-of-promise suit, two wealthy social climbers are suing on behalf of their beautiful daughter, Zillah. The defendant is Zillah’s alleged fiancé, brilliant young architect Killian Melville, who adamantly declares that he will not, cannot, marry her. Utterly baffled by his client’s refusal, Melville’s counsel, Sir Oliver Rathbone, turns to his old comrades in crime—William Monk and nurse Hester Latterly. But even as they scout London for clues, the case suddenly and tragically ends, in an outcome that no one—except a ruthless murderer—could have foreseen.
