Notices to Correspondents...
Still reading today's newspaper (from 1882... *g*) and I've just come across the Notices to Correspondents columns. I am fascinated by this - I want the column back in today's newspapers, and I rather want the job of answering the questions! Now, what do you think they were?!
First of all, a couple of Victorian pics for the imagination (and how well they go together *g*)...
Notices to Correspondents:
Wilts.-1. We should think not. 2. We don't think you can compel him to. You should have seen to it when you took the ground. 3. We cannot say without knowing more of the circumstances.
Bill Blades - If she applies for an order against your son you had better resist it with such evidence as you can produce to show she is leading an immoral life.
Alexandria.-1. Yes; the consent of parents and guardians is only required for minors. 2. An ordinary license costs about £2 2s. 3. Your writing is very good.
Warwick. - No.
Charles Hillier (Rotherhithe). - The Life Guards have not been out of the country since the battle of Waterloo.
J.J.E. - 1. England has not gone to war with Egypt. As Mr Gladstone explains it, the fleet only fired on Alexandria in self-defence. 2. No, we do not believe he is engaged in any private business.
E.B.B. - We think not.
T.Smith. - The United States.
P.C. Courtenay.-1. Keep out of the sun. 2. No.
Naros - 1. Either of them. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. In England and Wales only. 5. If you think they are married you can ascertain the fact by searching at Somerset House.
D.Barratt. - At Mssrs Eyre and Spottiswoode's, East Harding street, Fetter lane, London, E.C. The price depends upon the length.
H.A. - We do not understand your question.
Tero. - The one with rising gallery, of course.
Corsham, W. - 1. No, you cannot. 2. Not that we are aware of. 3. We are unable to say.
Doubtful. - Yes, a will made on a Sunday is quite legal.
