7 Of course, such a measure didn’t stop a wife directing her trustees that income she alone was entitled to could be paid over to her husband, as heiress Catherine Tylney Long was persuaded by her profligate spouse William to do with her £7,500 pin money in the first year of their marriage. In order to foil similar attempts by a husband to ‘kiss or kick’ his way to the whole of a wife’s separate property, the terms of a trust sometimes prevented her either selling or mortgaging her assets during her lifetime or drawing on the principal, meaning that the property did not always feel entirely hers to do with as she pleased.

8 Interestingly, Lord Stewart also took on a considerable burden in exchange for the considerable boost his income would receive from Frances Anne’s property: he was responsible not only for the repayment of her estate’s existing debts (well over £100,000 at the time of her marriage) but also for provision for her mother and aunt, as well as the payment of £2,000 in pin money to Frances Anne herself each year.
