In this gripping historical narrative, we delve into the harrowing tale of Emily Emma Maude Jackson, a woman kidnapped by her own husband, Edmund, on March 8th, 1891.
For over ten days, Emily was confined in a house in Blackburn, a prisoner to her spouse’s cruel intentions.
Her dramatic rescue came only after her determined family sought justice through a writ of habeas corpus, a legal move that not only secured her freedom but also catalyzed a pivotal shift in matrimonial law.
Join us as we explore the events that unfolded, the resilience of Emily’s family, and the profound impact this case had on legal history.
