Revival of Spaw Waters at Scarbrough and Warning Against Wife's Debts
May 26 1719 records attest that the Spaw waters are revived and a new diuretic spring nearby offers added benefit. Coroners and councilmen present note the public interest and caution bayliffs and others not to pay rents or debts to Katherine Hamersley alias William Hamersley’s wife, who eloped, while the husband remains willing to receive her back.
