Eight Shillings in the L. Composition Offered by Plymouth Fruit Merchant: Under the Bankruptcy Act application was made to his Honour Judge Lush-Wilson at Plymouth Bankruptcy Court yesterday for approval of a composition which Samuel (sic) Maye Pinsent, fruit merchant, Plymouth, had offered his creditors. The Official Receiver (Mr. A. N. F. Goodman) stated that the receiving order was made on April 11th of this year on creditors’ petition. Liabilities totalled £1,080. Assets were estimated to produce £316 12s 7d leaving deficiency of £763 7s 7d. A composition of 8s in the £, which debtor offered his creditors, was satisfactorily guaranteed. The terms debtor’s proposal were reasonable, and were calculated to benefit the general body of creditors. His Honour gave his approval.
