Edwin A. Morris, formerly carrying on business st the
Star Inn, Newington, appeared for his adjourned public examination at
Canterbury Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday. His statement of affairs had shown
liabilities amounting to £2,285 16/2 and a deficiency of £320 8/-.
He was formerly at the Bull`s Head Hotel, Margate, and
had attributed his failure to carrying on both houses at the same time for some
months at a quiet time of the year with incidental heavy travelling expenses.
He had been ordered in November to file a statement showing how he had disposed
of a sum of £266.
The Official Receiver (Mr. T.A. Tuck) said he had
received the statement that morning. It showed items totalling £175, the rest
being payments of pressing trade accounts, details of which he could not
remember. Mr. Tuck said it was a little unsatisfactory, but he did not suppose
he would get a better statement.
Asked if he had delivered up all his assets, Morris
replied “Everything except my overcoat”.
The public examination was closed.

Three local inn signs will be displayed in Brussels
shortly. Perhaps you may have noticed that the colourful sign of your favourite
hostelry has disappeared recently and been replaced with a notice such as is
pictured on this page. What`s behind their disappearance? Well, the
enterprising House of Whitbread are taking part in an exhibition one of the big
stores in the Belgian capital is staging from November 19th to
January 1st. The accent will be on the British way of life and many
British goods will be on sale. Included in the exhibition are signs from Kent
inns. Whitbreads are displaying the signs at their prefabricated public house.
From Folkestone the brewers have taken the signs of the British Lion on
Folkestone`s old Bayle, the Lifeboat Inn, North Street, and The Star,
Newington. The signs were on their way to Brussels yesterday.
