Dover Chronicle, Dover Express 5 December 1863

Court of Bankruptcy, London, Friday, 27th November: Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.

This was the first sitting for the proof of debts and choice of assignees under the bankruptcy of Benjamin Collins, who was described as “formerly of the "White Horse Inn," (sic) Cheriton, Kent, innkeeper, then of Cheriton aforesaid, labourer, then of Brabourne, Kent, beershop keeper, then of Wyatt Street, Maidstone, Kent, out of employ, then of the "Ship Inn," Rye, Sussex, innkeeper, and now a waiter residing at the "Victoria Tavern," Sandgate, Kent.”

Mr. John Clark, solicitor, of Cook's Court, appeared for the bankrupt, who filed his petition on the 2nd of November, attributing his difficulties to the “insufficiency of his profits to meet his expenses.”

The total amount of his unsecured debts is £500 9s. 1d., due to creditors residing at Maidstone, Rye, Dover, Canterbury, Folkestone and Hastings, and the creditors holding security are the Dover Permanent Building Society, Kent, £500; and Messrs. Knocker and Wilks, solicitors, Hythe, £100, who also hold mortgages for the above amount on three houses at Brabourne, Kent, of the value of £600.

No proof was tendered, consequently no trade assignee was appointed, and the Court having fixed the 18th of December, at 2 o'clock, for the examination and discharge sitting, granted the bankrupt renewed protection from arrest until that time, and the proceedings terminated.
