"A danger' to society" was the description applied by the Official Eecoiver at Bradford County Court the other day to a debtor named Hannah M. Donaldson, wife, of a master printer of Haslingden, Lancashire. Extraor-'; diriary disclosures were made in tho course of Mrs Donaldson's examination in bankruptcy. Her husband had got into difficulties through extravagant living, duo to his wife's statements about an income under her grandfather's will. It was a bogus income, and the husband had since gone to America. Among other exploits was the insertion of alluring adver- j tisements in tho matrimonial news- j papers. She had. got into correspondence with gentlemen all over the country. On tho strength of a fictitious private income and prospects, she had borrowed considerable sums of money on promises of marriage, and several men had been brought to bankruptcy. She had acted as private secretary to one ' Yorkshire gentleman, taken proceedings for breach of promise against another, had played the confidence trick on several, and promised other great things after marriage. She had obtained an allowance of £150 a year from one- gentleman, and there were piles of letters and correspondence from men to who-n debtor had been making love.
