The statement of accounts showed debts to unsecured creditors, £4,127 2s 1d.  … (discussion) … He might add that Joseph Fairfax was not worth a brass farthing to the creditors, for if he had anything he (Mr. Glaisyer) would have another £1,350 to prove against him for money borrowed in his private capacity for the purpose of the business and used in the business. Mr. Pinsent suggested that as Mr. Glaisyer’s proof was one which would have to be investigated, he should temporarily withdraw it, and forgo the power it would give him of carrying the appointment of a trustee of his nomination. He should have a right to appeal to the Board of Trade on the subjected afterwards if he thought it desirable … The Official Receiver supported Mr. Pinsent’s suggestion, but Mr. Glaisyer said he should adhere to his legal position … … The debtor was then questioned by Mr. Pinsent at some length with regard to his brother’s relation to the business. … … (continues) … Mr. Pinsent formally objected to Mr. Cadbury’s proof, but the Official Receiver decided that he must admit it and Mr. Glaisyer then carried his nomination of Mr. E. M. Sharp as Trustee …
