CIP 21.9.1888: RE THOMAS ABBISS. The debtor, a boot and shoemaker, living at 136, Gwydir-street, Cambridge, commenced business without capital, in 1876, at Camberwell, Surrey. He was unsuccessful in business, had rheumatic fever himself and afterwards had diphtheria in his house, which necessitated the closing of his business for sixteen weeks. His liabilities amounted to about £115. The debtor never balanced what books he kept. He was allowed to pass.
