Re – Frederick Eyte, of Rushden, beer retailer. – This debtor came up for public examination. His gross liabilities were put down at £636 1s. 2d., and his net indebtedness at £598 7s. 2d. His total assets were put down at 6s. only. – Replying to the Official Receiver, the debtor stated that in addition to his business as a beer retailer, he started running ‘buses and brakes. He bought several horses, a ‘bus, and a brake, and borrowed the money to purchase them with. He had lost ten horses by death within a year and a half through inflammation and colds. He had borrowed money from different persons for which he had paid heavy interest. His insolvency was entirely occasioned by his embarking as a cab proprietor. Prior to starting in that business in March, 1888, he believed he was solvent. – The examination was formally adjourned.
