Anthony Nichol’s Property
Upon balancing his books on the 1st Jan[uar]y 1809 it appeared he was indebted £1060-6-4 more than he could pay, as he had lodged a large sum of money in the hands of John Hodgson & Son who became Bankrupts sometime ago, he had every reason to believe at the time they were people of respectability, but their property was all in the West Indies and two houses there failed in their Debt £40,000
The Debt Ant Nichol proved against John Hodgson & Son was
£4,666.17.2
He wanted of H Toller who absconded 379.10.9
5,046.10.9
He has since received from Securities
given to him by Hodgson and Son 1,000. 0.0
and from Toller 50. 0.0
He expects he will get 4/- in the pound more from
Hodgson’s estate but their property consisting of
Debts in the West Indies, it is very doubtful,
however presuming he will get 4/- in the Pound
it will be about 933. 0.0
2,003. 0.0
from which take what he is indebted 1,860. 6.4
it will leave him clear £222.13.8
His books will prove the correctness of this Statement
