Biography
William was born in 1891. He passed away in 1970.
Mechanic's Failure.
Investigations into the bankruptcy of William Joseph Dalley were made at a meeting of creditors over which the Official Assignee (Mr C. 0. Pratt) presided yesterday. Mr W. H. Woods represented bankrupt, ...
Bankrupt said he was a married man with eight children. He was at present unemployed and had no prospects. He started business in 1915, and progressed successfully until May, 1923, when an accident compelled him to stay in hospital for five months. During that period he employed labour to carry on, and his business gradually went back. His employee started business on his own account, taking with him two of bankrupt's motor-cycle agencies. He was on crutches for four months after leaving hospital and was not able to do much work. He borrowed £3OO, but the next three years were very lean, and when the mortgage fell due he was unable to meet it. His premises were sold to an opposition firm at considerably less than their value. Since that time he had been doing odd jobs, but his income was too small to pay back debts. The Assignee said there was no hope of realising much from the book debts. Bankrupt was allowed to retain his furniture, and the Assignee was empowered to wind up the estate.[1]
