Printed Ephemera — 1913
Photograph
Suffragette holding a Prisoner's (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act with the name and traceable details cut out, c.1913. Suffragettes released under the terms of the Act (also referred to as the Cat & Mouse Act) often cut out traceable details from the licence so they could leave it at the scene of 'outrages', undertaken whilst they were out on licence. It is known that the multiple arsonist Kitty Marion certainly used this tactic to taunt the Police whilst undertaking militant acts whilst supposedly recovering from hunger-strike. It is, therefore, possible that Kitty is depicted in the photograph holding the licence.
