Local Bankruptcy Cases: At the Birmingham County Court on Tuesday, before Mr. Registrar Parry the adjourned public examination was held in re: John Vaughan Horton, factor, of Gravelly Hill, late of St. Paul’s Square. The debts were placed at £1,631, and the assets at £457, Mr. Pinsent, who appeared for the trustee (Mr. Fisher) examined the bankrupt as to the present address of his father, to whom he had gave about £120 immediately before the bankruptcy on account of a loan. The bankrupt said that he had 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 bankrupts’ 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 adjourn the matter on the ground that the examination was concluded.
