A ROMANCE OF THE BANK. RUPTCY COURT.
An exceptionally complex case, which has been engaging the attention of the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court for several months past, has just been further complicated by the marriage of the bankrupt, a widow, under somewhat romantic circumstances. While giving that constant attendance at the Court which her entangled affairs necessitated, the lady, who is just over 30 years of age, and who had carried on the business of her husband as butcher, made the acquaintance of a painter and decorator in Court. The friendship ripened fast, and day after day the widow who was escorted to the Court and to her legal adviser’s by her devoted attendant, much to the amusement of the Court officials. The fair bankrupt a few days since having bestowed her hand upon him, an order will be asked of the judge to make him a party to the proceedings, but it is by no means improbable that the husband will be rewarded for his daring by receiving a considerable surplus from the bankrupt’s estate, which at one time showed at least forty shillings in the pound.
