Birmingham Daily Post: Wednesday 16th December 1885

In re: JOHN VAUGHAN HORTON, of Gravelly Hill, late of St. Paul’s Square, factor: Adjourned public examination: Debts, £1,631; assets, £457: Mr. Pinsent appeared for the trustee (Mr. Fisher) and examined the bankrupt as to the present address of his father, to whom he had paid about £120 immediately before the bankruptcy on account of a loan. The bankrupt said that he had not 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 bankrupt’s 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 not adjourn the matter on that ground, and the examination was concluded.

Bankruptcy: Before Mr. Registrar Parry: In re. John Vaughan Horton, of Slade Lane, Gravelly Hill, merchant, and factor: Public examination: Debts, £1,631; assets £457. Mr. Pinsent appeared for the trustee (Mr. Fisher), and Mr. M. A. Fitter for the bankrupt. Mr. Pinsent applied for an adjournment and an order on the bankrupt to file certain accounts. Mr. Fitter said it seemed rather hard that the bankrupt should have to give up every shilling he possessed and then be called upon by the trustee to furnish all sorts of accounts which he had no means of paying for. The Registrar said he had felt that it was a hardship on the debtor, but he was obliged to make the order. The examination was then adjourned.
