Bankruptcy: Before Mr. Registrar Parry: In re. John Vaughan Horton, of Slade Lane, Gravelly Hill, merchant, and factor: Public examination: Debts, £1,631; assets £457. Mr. Pinsent appeared for the trustee (Mr. Fisher), and Mr. M. A. Fitter for the bankrupt. Mr. Pinsent applied for an adjournment and an order on the bankrupt to file certain accounts. Mr. Fitter said it seemed rather hard that the bankrupt should have to give up every shilling he possessed and then be called upon by the trustee to furnish all sorts of accounts which he had no means of paying for. The Registrar said he had felt that it was a hardship on the debtor, but he was obliged to make the order. The examination was then adjourned.
