Last sale?
Is there anything to support a late sale taking place in Blackwood, South Wales, in 1928? BBC Four has just claimed this (Suffragettes Forever) Andy Dingley (talk) 00:41, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Cost of legal divorce, 1844: £104k - £128k? (modern equivalent)
Can anyone offer “present-day equivalent values” for the cost-estimates Sir William Maule laid out in his 1844 judgement? The article would gain by some vividity on this! ‘Borrowing’ a ratio of 80 from a slightly earlier date elsewhere in the article, I’m getting present-day figures up to about £128 000!!

I’d add that figure into the article text, but I don’t know where we get our conversion ratios from? Sir William describes three stages: civil court / church court / private Act: with cost estimates of £100 + £2-300 + £1000-£1200 respectively, totalling £1300-£1600; x80 = £104k - £128k!
