Birmingham County Court: Yesterday: Before Mr. J. Motteram, Q.C., Judge: Bankruptcy. Re: Charles Samuel Haddon, of 12 Roland Grove, Handsworth, insurance agent: Adjourned public examination: Liabilities £347, assets, nil. – Mr. Pinsent appeared for the petitioning creditor and examined the debtor as to certain transactions he had had with a saddler named Westbury. The debtor stated that when he came to Birmingham, he was behind with his accounts, and Westbury lent him the money to make up the deficiency. The loan was renewed quarter after quarter; and when Westbury’s petition was filed, he (the debtor) owed him £100. His furniture when he came to Birmingham in 1881 was worth £20. Part of it had been handed over to his landlord, and part had been sold to his father. The rest of the furniture that was in the house had belonged to his father. On the application of Mr. Pinsent, the examination was adjourned in order that the debtor might furnish a full account of his financial transactions from 1881, and full details with regard to his furniture.
