Bankrupt’s loan details and balance discrepancies emerge

In a bankruptcy examination dated December 1841 the bankrupt admits borrowing £7,000 from Cook and Gladstone in 1840 for seven to ten years at 7.5 percent, with a joint promissory note issued with his brother. The note was renewed for twelve months, though the loan term was longer. Official assignee reports show potential misstatements between 1839 and 1841, with a large deficit and questionable entries, including a disputed debt from the bankrupt’s New Zealand-born brother. The examiner adjourned the proceedings, and copies of evidence were requested by the bankrupt’s solicitor.
