THE BANKRUPTCY OF MR. G. V. BROOKE.--
The adjourned meeting for last examination and discharge
of this bankrupt was held in the Birmingham Court on
Monday. During the proceedings, Mr. Nelson, who ap-
peared for a creditor, examined the bankrupt at some
length.—Mr. Nelson : What became of your theatrical
dresses ? Months ago they were purchased by Mr. Young.
Do I understand you to say that you have no dresses of
your own ? I havevery few—but very few ; the greater por-
tion of my wardrobe was purchased by Mr. Young.—
Where ? Here, in England.—When did you sell
them ? The greater portion of them I sold when I ar-
rived in England in May.—Can you tell the court what you
obtained for them ? £l2O on one occasion, and £6O on a pre-
vious one.—Your petition was filed on the 24th of May.
Had you any portion of the money you received from Mn
Young on that date ? No ; I believe I had not. What did
you consider as the value of the wardrobe still retained by
you ? Very trifling indeed.—Were they worth £lOO ? No.
—Where are you going now ? lam engaged in Liverpool
for the next month.—Upon what terms, may I ask ? I have
a share of the money received beyond £25 every night.—ln
further examination the bankrupt stated that he had been
playing at Bolton, and the nature of his engagement was to
share the house. He had made about £l7 last week. The
week previously he cleared nothing. Previously to being
engaged in Bolton he played in Manchester for a month. At
the expiration of that time he received about £2O, but that
was clear of everything. It was a risk, in fact.—Mr. Nelson
then, in a delicate manner asked the bankrupt if he was a
married man ? He said he was, but he had no family.—
Mr. Nelson then asked if his wife was an actress, to which
Mr. Brooke replied that he was married at St. Philip's
Church, in Birmingham, 12 years ago.—His Honour
granted the discharge, and expressed a hope that in future
the bankrupt would be more successful than he has recently
been.
