My great, great grandfather Joseph Gibbs, a brass founder, grocer and provisions dealer, of 136 Lawley Street, Birmingham, had to appear as insolvent on November 13, 1852, at 10am at the County Court of Warwickshire after some years earlier being imprisoned for six months for stealing paper, the property of Martin Billing.
He was ordered to report to John Guest, clerk to the county court at Waterloo Street, Birmingham, on that date for an examination into his debts, estate etc.
Does anybody know where I might find further details of the case or whether or not he would have been sent to debtor's prison?
