Shulchan HaEzer (published by R' Yitzchak Tzvi Leibowitz of Tchop in the
1930s) mentions the minhag in
7:4:2<http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=8556&st=&pgnum=66>,
and notes that Sefer
Mat'amim<http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=22486&st=&pgnum=41>(published
by R' Yitzchak Lepietz of Shedlitz in the late 19th century) also
mentions it.
