COUNTY COURT INSOLVENT
Richard Boorn, an insolvent, appeared to pass his first examination,
supported by Mr. Bedford. He was opposed by Mr. John Minter, on behalf
of Mr. George Conley, for a debt of £16 11s. 9d. Insolvent was examined
by Mr. Minter, who failed to elicit that he had any effects. Debts £225.
He passed his first examination.
Note: Boorn had been landlord of the "Packet
Boat," Radnor Street 1851-57. Strangely, it seems that he carries on
with the "Alma," Cheriton Road (1855-64) and returns to the "Packet
Boat" (1861-69) despite this insolvency! Jan Pedersen.

COUNTY COURT INSOLVENT
Richard Boorn. This insolvent came up for his final examination. Mr.
Minter withdrew his opposition upon His Honour allowing the insolvent to
amend his schedule, by inserting a reversionary interest he was entitled
to; which having been done, he passed.
Note: Boorn had interests in both the
"Packet Boat," Radnor Street, and the "Alma,"
Cheriton Road. Jan Pedersen.

NEW LUGGER CELEBRATIONS
On Thursday evening Mr. John Boorn of the "Packet Boat Inn" invited a
few friends to a quiet little supper to celebrate the launch of a new
lugger he has just finished, and the first he has finished since he
entered into the business of a boat builder. The vessel was launched in
the afternoon of the same day, and was named the Blair Athol. It is to
be hoped that she will be as successful in her trips as her namesake,
the celebrated racehorse. The lugger is a very nice one and from her
lines appears to combine speed with strength.

Adjourned Licensing Sessions.
At the annual sessions the
granting of five licences was
adjourned; The "Railway Tavern," the "Eagle Tavern" and the "Bricklayers Arms"
on the ground of
redundancy, the "Railway Hotel," Coolinge, because a conviction had been
recorded against it, and the "Packet Boat," so that plans for alterations could be submitted to the Justices. |
