Brook v. Pinsent and Co.: Sir, – In the report of this case, which was heard on Monday, before M. Fortescue, Esq., the account that you give of the proceedings is very accurate; but I have to complain of the Western Morning News, which speaks of me as “the bankrupt” This is a grave and serious aspersion upon me, for I have never been either bankrupt or insolvent: I am Sir, yours truly, John Brook: Stoke, April 8th 1862
[see also Western Daily Mercury: Friday 11th April 1862]
