A Novel Case Under The Married Women's Property Act Mr. George Baker, solicitor, of Willenhall, applied on behalf of Mrs Ann Tildesley, of the Plough Inn, Stafford Street, Willenhall, for the transfer of the license of that house to herself. He remarked that the case was a very, novel one. Mrs. Tildesley was the widow of the late Jesse Banks, and at present held the license for the house under the name of Ann Banks. Her late husband, by his will, bequeathed the whole of his property to her for her private use, but since his death she had married again, and she now sought the protection of the Bench, in order that she might still hold the license without any referenceto her husband..... the magistrates granted the application.
