reply to His Honour as to what had been done in this bankruptcy case, Mr.
Minter said unfortunately they could get no-one to take the place, and in
consequence, instead of there being enough to pay everybody 20s. in the £, and
leave a margin for the wife, there would not be enough to pay the creditors
10s. in the £. They were coming before His Honour with a claim by the wife to
sell some of the goods as her private property – picture, furniture &c.
