In re: JOHN VAUGHAN HORTON, of Gravelly Hill, late of St. Paul’s Square, factor: Adjourned public examination: Debts, £1,631; assets, £457: Mr. Pinsent appeared for the trustee (Mr. Fisher) and examined the bankrupt as to the present address of his father, to whom he had paid about £120 immediately before the bankruptcy on account of a loan. The bankrupt said that he had not the slightest idea of his father’s whereabouts. He also denied that any furniture had been clandestinely removed from his house at Gravelly Hill. Mr. Pinsent wished to have the examination adjourned until the bankrupt’s father was found, as the trustee desired to serve a notice of motion on him for the return of the money; but the Registrar said that he could not adjourn the matter on that ground, and the examination was concluded.
