Exeter County Court of Bankruptcy: Re: William C. White, farmer, and coal dealer of Chudleigh: Meeting for examination of witnesses. Mr. Toy appeared for the creditors and Mr. Floud for the Bankrupt. The bankrupt was apprehended at Plymouth, just as he was about to embark for America with his wife and family. He was now brought up in custody.

[His father described how his son had rented Palace Farm in Chudleigh from Lord Clifford and then sold his livestock and moved into Chudleigh to conduct a coal business. His father had paid some of his debts, but he had others and few assets. He had told his father he planned to emigrate two days before he left for Plymouth].

He had received goods from Messrs. Watts and Bearne, Mr. Bowden, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Whiteway and Mr. Pinsent. He was indebted to them between £400 and £500 for goods supplied since Christmas last. He considered there was about £110 worth left. He had paid away the rest. He had some cider – not a large quantity – which he sold before he left. He had not proposed to pay his creditors £200. His father had offered 10s in the £ on condition that all his (bankrupt’s) effects were given up to him. No portion of the money would have come from him (bankrupt). The case was adjourned.
