BANKRUPTCY EXAMINATIONS IN
WORCESTER.

A WICKHAMFORD FARMER.

The examination of Frederick William Bullock, farmer. Of Wickhamford, was adjourned until Feb. 20 for preparation of accounts. The Official Receiver (Mr. Luke J. Sharpe) said he expected he would have to apply to the Court for an order for the examination of witnesses, because the affairs of the debtor were at present accompanied with a great deal of suspicion. The bankrupt in February last acquired some land upon which he built a house, and he planted the land with trees, thus enhancing the value of it very materially. Shortly afterwards he assigned it to his father, whereas a good many of the trees which were planted upon the land were not paid for up to the present time.
