I've found notices of bankruptcy proceedings in 1820 in the London Gazette; the 3rd notice says,
". the said John Bysh hath in all things conformed himself according to the directions of the several Acts of Parliament.... This is to give notice that by virtue of an Act passed... his certificate will be allowed and confirmed as the said Act directs unless cause be shewn to the contrary on before 19th day of August next."
What did the certificate certify? That he was actually bankrupt or that he'd done enough to avoid bankruptcy?
Does anyone know?
