Opposition to Fraudulent Bankrupts Society in Court Debate
In a hearing before Mr. Comini and Mr. Sturgeon a circular from the Association for the Opposition of Fraudulent Bankrupts was discussed. The group sought to oppose insolvent debtors for a guinea retainer, publishing names and seeking to bar creditors from opposition. The commissioner questioned the society’s character and power, noting trade pressures and the need to protect the public while judging Mr Buchanan’s retainer. A final insolvent order date was set amid dispute over who should represent opposing creditors.
