How far do the sources suggest that, in the Jackson Marriage Case of 1891, it was Mr Jackson who had “right upon his side”?
The sources agree with the statement to a noticeable extent that the husband did have the right to take away his wife if she refused him. Source 11 strongly supports this because it gives an atmospheric description of the scene how there were “Groans, hisses and yells were given for Mrs Jackson” which highlights she is being criticised for going against her husband, while the rest of the crowd were singing “’he’s a jolly good fellow’, for her husband”. This source was written by the Cliteroe times when the verdict of the original court was in favour in Mr Jackson therefore; the purpose of the source was to show that Mrs Jackson was in the wrong for going against her husband’s will and returning to her sister’s home, it shows that everyone believed that he had the right to have control over his wife. It is an eyewitness account which happened at the time of the event which is useful in identifying that Mr Jackson had right upon his side. Source 12 has a similar view of the situation as is states that “the law court agreed and decided in favour of Mr Jackson” and that people saw this as a “romantic abduction” and people detested Mrs Jackson’s and her friends opposition to the case and exaggerating the event as a kidnapping. Both sources highlight that they were written in influence by the law court and the societies response to the case that Mr Jackson did have right upon his side and were in support of him. However, source 11 can be unreliable because without a doubt the article had overturned the verdict of the original court which had ruled in favour of Mr Jackson, which shows that the article changed their decision and believed that Mrs Jackson had the right to leave and that she was being treated cruelly by the public’s reaction as well as major unrest and violence in the area caused by this case.
