"Let him hang by the heels." - Somerset.
(Of a man that dies in debt : His wife leaving all at his death, crying his goods in three markets and three Parish Churches is so free of all his debts).
(Of a man that dies in debt : His wife leaving all at his death, crying his goods in three markets and three Parish Churches is so free of all his debts).
Ray 1768
[Not sure how the proverb links to the interpretation! A friend of my wife said that if you die in debt you have made a profit.... Once again we find the number 3 has massive importance in folklore]
