Birmingham Daily Post: Thursday 2nd August 1888

Bankruptcy Proceedings: the affairs of Mr. Thomas Fairfax: A meeting of the creditors of Thomas Fairfax, draper, of 181 Broad Street, Birmingham, was held yesterday at Whitehall Chambers, Colmore Row, the Official Receiver, (Mr. Luke J. Sharp) presiding. Mr. Bradley appeared for Mr. S. Mitchell, the debtor’s solicitor; Mr. Glaisyer for Mr. John Cadbury, a large creditor; Dr. Rogers for Mr. Joseph Fairfax, and Mr. Pinsent and Mr. Tatton (Manchester) on behalf of creditors. 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 …

Northampton Mercury: Saturday 30th June 1888

Aspley Guise: Inquest: On Tuesday evening inquest was held at the Bell Hotel Mr. F. F. Tanqueray, coroner for the Honor of Ampthill, the body of Alma Corkett, the infant child of James and Mary Corkett. The child was only seven weeks old; had been unwell a few days, but no medical man had been consulted. Becoming worse, the mother carried it to Woburn, and on uncovering the body at the surgery found it dead. The mother said the child was seven weeks old, and very delicate; it had a cough from its birth. On Friday evening it became worse, and on Saturday morning she carried it in her arms to Woburn, carefully wrapped a shawl. When she reached the surgery, it was dead, and she carried it back home. The symptoms of Friday night were a helpless drowsiness and throwing up of the feet. All the medicine she gave was some cough stuff obtained from Mrs. Perry, and which she showed the doctor. When she neared Birchmoor she felt the child make a slight struggle. Pincent Smith (Veasey and Lucas), surgeon, stated that the child was brought to their surgery on Saturday last. He had made a postmortem examination and concluded that the cause of death was bronchitis. The child was well nourished, and the body was perfectly natural in its appearance. A verdict of death from bronchitis was returned.

Leamington Spa Courier: Saturday 5th May 1888

Forthcoming Prosecution of the Greenways: Police Warrants Issued: A deep sensation was created in the neighbourhood of Warwick and Leamington and indeed throughout the whole of the country, when it became known, on Tuesday morning, that the Government has at length come to the decision to direct a prosecution against the two principal partners of the late Greenway Bank, for alleged breaches of trust … (long discussion) … The Charges against the Bankrupts: As stated above, all the three charges which are made against the bankrupts belong to the class of offence known misdemeanour. In regard to the Cowper bill, the following facts may be mentioned which have not been previously made public. Directly the petition in bankruptcy was filed by Messrs. Green way, and it came to the knowledge of Messrs Barlow, Smith, and Pinsent (the solicitors acting for the debtors) that the draft question had been dealt with improperly, Mr. Cowper was approached with view to settlement of the matter. Two interviews took place between Mr. Pinsent and Mr. Cowper’s solicitor in Leamington, but it was found impossible to make any satisfactory arrangement. Eventually Mr. Kelynge Greenway’s son was communicated with, and an interview took place between him and Mr Cowper’s legal representative. … (continues) … …
