Hello All, Have any of you come across one of yours in a court case involved in a "breach of promise?" I have an ancestor in Ireland 1870's and I think the sum involved for that time is very large. (£500) Also in the newspaper article the symbols for the amounts differ ....for example- £120 p.a. is quoted from farm income and further into the case 500l is mentioned. Now I know the L/l represents "libertae" as in "LIbertae, Solidari? and Dinari..... Pounds , shillings and pence..... but why the change in symbols? (Im basically checking and I haven't missed anything) 500 for 1873 seems a lot considering on my Welsh side a Grand aunt was in service and she was earning £13 p.a. in c1905. Best regards.
