HENRY CHARLES STICKLER
16, Palmer Street, Frome, Somerset
BANKRUPTCY
Henry Charles Stickler, 16, Palmer Street, Frome, watchmaker and jeweller. At the meeting of the creditors of this debtor, held last month in the Bristol Bankruptcy Court before the Official Receiver the statement of affairs showed liabilities amounting to £894 15s. 11d. to unsecured creditors : £24 10s. to creditors fully secured, the estimated value of the securities being £57 2s. 6d. ; £37 due to partly-secured creditors, the value of the securities being £12 ; the total liabilities expected to rank being £919 15s. 11d. The assets amounted to £620 8s. 11d., of which £432 was for stock; the deficiency being £311 11s. "A false report that he was a bankrupt, and pressure by creditors in consequence," was the alleged cause of failure. The Official Receiver's observations were as follows : — " This debtor commenced business as a watchmaker and jeweller in 1879, with a capital of £20. The books kept are not complete, though they may have been such as would suffice for recording daily sales, &c. The debtor never took stock, and never prepared any statement of his affairs. At the date of the petition an execution had been levied, and the high bailiff was in possession. The debtor pledged several watches and articles of jewellery, and states that the goods so pledged have not been paid for; ' the surplus set out in the statement represents his estimate of the value after the repayment of the loans. The business has been kept going for the benefit of the estate, and in order that the ' winding ' connection should not be lost, but it will probably be found that the greater part of it has been transferred to other tradesmen. It is not the debtor's intention to make any proposal, either by composition or scheme of arrangement, and he has been adjudicated a bankrupt on his own petition." Mr. G. G. Poppleton, of Birmingham was appointed trustee, with a committee of inspection.
