How to Enforce Payment of Debt, by a "Lawyer" (Grant

Richards, 2s.), is one of the " How to " Series. " Lawyer" does not pretend to tell a lay person how to conduct a defended action. He justly remarks that in most cases a debtor does not defend, but runs his chance of the creditor not taking proceedings. Nor does he omit to say that if you can "coax" payment you had better do so. There are many useful hints, of which we may give one specimen. If you conclude an arrangement with the debtor, insist on having the wife's signature as well as the husband's. Then, if you have to proceed to a seizure of the goods, you will not be confronted with the return that the goods belong to the wife.
