Ordered to pay in three inidalmenta
Re James Knight, tailor, of Chisel, Portland,
• bankrupt, came up f,r his final examination and
(limbs:go. —Mr. Howard appeared in support, and
the bankrupt was unopposed. The creditor's debts
amounted to £174, out of which .C7l 164. XI. *ere
set-uff4, leaving about £lOO unsecured to creditors.
Bankrupt said belied five children. He had been in
business at Portland for four years. Previous to
thst be bad been is business at Chartnooth, where
he incurred debts, and gave op his books to
Andrew Tooker, solicitor, to compound with his
creditors, but the former bad not rendered any
account of how the affair was settled. He however
believed that there was more than enough on his
books to pay over 104. in the 4. With the excep-
tion of only one creditor at Charmouth, the
remainder had released him. He had not had any
, written promise to that effect, only • verbal one.
He was in business at Charmouth for 17
months. He could not say the exact amount
he owed his creditors at that place, but it might be
about £lOO. —He was greatly taken in whilst he was
there. —His honor remarked that as the bankrupt
had only been 17 months Charmouth,and managed
to run into debt 4100, bethought he must have taken
some one in.—The bankrupt said he bad:no money
when he eammonosd hosiers there, and had none
Wipe be did the same at Portland. After leaving
be worked as journeyman at his trade
at Dorchester. Whilst there be saved a little money,
but had an illness for several months. In woes-
views of this he left hatreds, and worked on the
Portland Breakwater MI a policeman and time-
keeper, and did not work at his trade for about
her years. Whilst on the Breakwater he managed
to save a little money. His wife assisted him, as
sbe was a milliner; but he had had a great deal of
sickness in his family. The last time he com-
municated with Mr. Tacker was about 12 months
ago, when he informed him that he believed the
whole of his creditors were satisfied. His stook in
trade at Charinouth was *old for 12 months' rent,
£lB 165., whilst the stock fetched sbout £3O.
His wife sold tea there, but since the dis-
traint upon his goods she had not sold any
more. In reply to Mr. Howard, bankrupt said he
gave up his book.s at Char-mouth to Mr. Tucker,
and he thought there were enough debte doe to him
to pay every one. Simms be had left Coarmouth
only one madder had troubled him. Whilst at that
place he lost £4O or £5O in bad debts. Mr.
Nortbover, his only Charmouth creditor, 12 months'
ago obtained •judgment foe about .420 against him,
mid the whole of his things were sold. —The High
Bailiff said the Isle realised £l4 19e. 44., less
the expenses of £1 le. 9.l.—His honor observed that
balance was not entered in the schedule, and it
must be amended. He asked the bankrupt how it
was that he had not pleaded the statute of limita-
tion ? —Mr. Howard said that the bankrupt was
=titled to have done so, but had come to him for
that purpose too late. —His honor adjourned the
caw until the next Court day, observing that the
description and schedule must be amended respect-
ing the Charmouth trade and debts, and the books
in the hands of Mr. Tucker would have to be pro-
duced. He granted protection to the bankrupt.
Re George Alfred Gill, of Fortune's-well, Port-
land, a bankrupt, came up, supported by Mr.
Howard, for his Rua ezamination and discharge.—
The bankrupt was unopposed. The unsecured
debts amounted to £l4O 6s. 44., and the sewed,
to £135, being deeds upon a house which was
mortgaged to Se full extent. Bankrupt bought the
house for 2115, and mortgaged it for £l2O ' • whilst
there was £ll 24. 64. in the registrar's hands.—
Bankrupt said he had previously earned on his
bowmen at Weymouth for four years, and had
altogether been in trade for eight. The principal
debt was due to Mr. Charles Nicholls, of
Bristol, a leather seller, foe 479 134. He had dealt
with him, for seven or eight years. The transact.
lions with which the bankrupt had bad with this
person were entered into at some length, after which
he received his discharge his honor, however,
intimating that if be had been opposed it wee not
very probable that be would have got it.
