Birmingham Daily Post: Tuesday 6th July 1886

Birmingham Quarter Sessions: Elopement of a Birmingham Bankrupt: Wm. Arthur Johnson (28), late of Aston Road, Draper was indicted under the Debtors Act, 1869, for quitting England within four months before the presentation of a bankruptcy petition against him and taking with him property to the value of £77 … (discussion) … You should have waited till you had got further into the bankruptcy: Mr. Yong, The first thing was to catch the man. Then we did not think it right to keep him in custody longer than was absolutely necessary, and we thought we had this case complete. Mr. Daly objected to the adjournment as unfair to the prisoner, who was entitled to the benefit of his acquittal. The Deputy Recorder declined to adjourn the case, and Mr. Young, after consulting with Mr. Pinsent (who had instructed him on behalf of the Treasury) decided to offer no evidence upon the second indictment. Prisoner was therefore formally acquitted and discharged.

The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that with regard the desirability of inviting the Association there could be no two questions, because it was not only a duty that they owed—especially in these depressed times—to the agriculturists, but also to the labourers, to aid as far as lay in their power in bringing the means of agriculture under their immediate notice.
