THE FAILURE OF A WELSH COLLIERY PROPRIETOR. STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS. LIABILITIES OVER £ 200,000. The summary of the statement of affairs, with the Official Receiver's observations thereon, have been issued to the creditors under the heavy failure of Mr. Richard Attenborough. The debtor was a large colliery and ironstone mine owner, and also carried on business in New Bond-street as a jeweller and goldsmith, the principal mines owned by him being Wedgwood Colliery, Tunstall, the Hall of Lee Colliery, Stoke-on-Trent, and the Resolven Colliery, Neath. Upon the application to appoint Mr. Roderick Mackay special manager of the estate it transpired that the total liabilities would exceed £ 200,000. Tha accounts filed show gross liabilities £259,812, of which £69,990 is unsecured, and assets £ 9,525. From the observations of the Official Receiver, it appears that the debtor for many years carried on the business of a pawnbroker, money- lender, and jeweller in Piccadilly, and retired in January, 1874, at which time he estimates that he had a surplus of about £ 100,000. Of this £60,000 was said to be represented by the estimated value of his stock at Piccadilly, the realisation of which extended over about ten years, resulting in a loss of about £ 25.000, included in which is a loss of £ 5,000 on the business in New Bond-street opened for the purposes of the realisation. Since 1874 the debtor has sunk and expended large sums in the purchase of building estates at Reading, and in the Lower Resolven, Hall of Lee, and Wedgwood Col- lieries, Strata Florida Lead Mine, Brixworth and Spratton Ironstone Quarries, St. James' End Works, Northampton, &c., most of which have resulted in a heavy loss either from forced sales and working, or arising from depreciation in values as estimated for present realisation. On the Whitley Park and Gully Farm Estate, Reading, the cost and outlay are put down at £ 104,500, and the loss upon realisation at £37.500, but there is an estimated surplus on the Kate's Grove Estate at Reading of £ 6,400. The debtor attributes his failure to losses resulting from the forced sales of the two estates above mentioned. The books are not kept sufficiently to disclose his transactions and the position of his affairs, and the deficiency is only approximately explained. In the unsecured liabilities are in- cluded claims of the debtor's relatives amounting to £ 38,000. The item of other property in the assets, £5,800, consists of the estimated value of the leases of the mines and other properties. The first meeting is appointed for the 28th inst.
