I am going through the file for my 3xgt grandfather NEWBOURN WOOD, originally from Scotton in Lincolnshire, but settled in Gosport Hampshire.
I have the following from a newspaper dated 2nd September 1820:
“Whereas the acting Commissioners in a Commission of Bankrupt awarded and issued forth against John Flint Godden and Newburn Wood, of Gosport, in the County of Southampton, Copartners, Mercers, Drapers, Dealers and Chapmen, have certified to the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, that the said Newbourn Wood hath in all things conformed himself according to the directions of the several Acts of Parliament made concerning Bankrupts; This is to give notice, that, by virtue of an Act passed in the Fifth Year of the Reign His late Majesty King George the Second, and also of another Act passed in the Forty-ninth Year of the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Third, his Certificate will be allowed and confirmed as the said Acts direct, unless cause be shewn to the contrary on or before the 23d day of September instant."
Does anyone know the procedure that they are mentioning here? I'm not quite sure of the significance of it.
