RE: Nicholas Ball, late of Starcross, innkeeper: The first general meeting of the creditors of this debtor was held at the London Hotel, on Saturday. Mr. J. B. Pinsent, Newton Abbot, presided, and there were about 20 creditors present. The debtor’s statement showed that he owed £998 14s 6d, all to unsecured creditors. The assets were stock-in-trade, valued £42; book debts about £154, estimated to produce £40; furniture, &c, estimated to produce £39; other property, £30; total assets, £151. Debts to a considerable amount were proved, and eventually it was resolved that the affairs of the debtor should be wound in bankruptcy.
