| Abstract/Description |
JOHN MEREDITH, who had been incarcerated at the suit of Mr. John Kettle, for a debt of £12, for spirits, wines and ales, also applied for his discharge, on the ground that he had not the means of liquidating the debt and costs at present ... His Honour ... expressed a hope that the losses which Mr. Meredith had experienced here, and elsewhere, as a publican would be a lesson to him in future, not to embark any more in such an unprofitable calling, and told the insolvent that he must surrender his private estate consisting of plays, dresses, &c., valued at £5 to his opposing creditors, who agreed to receive the balance by instalments of £1 per week. The surrender being agreed to, the insolvent was discharged. |
