The Lords found, That the statute 3d Geo. III. c. 8. which allows all officers, soldiers, &c. and also the wives and children of such officers and soldiers, to set up and exercise such trades as they are apt and able for, within any town of Great Britain, does not entitle the daughter of a soldier to confer that privilege upon her husband.
