This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. 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.

Excerpt from Breach of Promise: Its History and Social Considerations; To Which Are Added a Few Pages on the Law of Breach of Promise and a Glance at Many Amusing Cases Since the Reign of Queen Elizabeth Our legislative physicians are in doubt as to the efficacy of their medicine, and they differ but little in this respect from a few medical men, perhaps, of the reader's own acquaintance. The patient sufferers, the unfortunate public have also, it is needless to add, but little confidence in the beneficial results of the mixture. Experience shows that by taking the dose a part of the body is certainly benefited, while the greater part is injured, sometimes beyond remedy. Hence it is that two subjects, para mount in importance, both dealing with the social welfare of our country, are now among those upper most in the public mind. They affect all sorts and conditions of men. No marvel, therefore, that so much interest has, during recent years, attached to the Action of Breach of Promise of Marriage, and to the question of Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister.

Broken hearts. Broken promises. Deadly consequences. In glitzy Lake Tahoe, couples break up every day. But few are as successful as Lindy and Mike Markov, who built a $200-million business together--before Mike took up with a younger woman. Now he's claiming he doesn't owe Lindy a dime since they never married. Attorney Nina Reilly, struggling to make a living in her one-woman office and raise a young son alone, agrees to take Lindy's case. Nina knows winning is a long shot, even with a brilliant jury consultant and a palimony expert on her side. It's the kind of case--full of passion and explosive secrets--that could make a fortune for a young lawyer. Or drive someone to commit murder--for love, money . . . or the right verdict. New York Times bestselling author Perri O'Shaughnessy has created a wonderfully unique and unpredictable character in Nina Reilly, a tough, tenderhearted attorney and single mother who has been hailed by critics as "one of the most interesting heroines in legal thrillers today" (the San Jose Mercury News).

In 1923, Margaret Kyler, a forty-year-old spinster, fell in love with Milan Hall, the richest man in town. Milan, a recent widower, courted Margaret in spite of his two daughters' objections. After two years of passionate devotion, his ardor cooled and he suddenly married another woman. The mores at that time were Victorian, and Margaret was looked upon as "damaged goods". Devastated, she sued Milan for breach of promise and the trial made national headlines.
