BOTTOMLEY’S DEBTS
HORATIO SQUARING UP HIS FOURTH BANKRUPTCY HOPES TO PAY ALL LONDON. March 25. The statement of accounts filed by Horatio Bottomley, the former M.P. and newspaper proprietor, showed that his debts amounted to £112,048, including a claim for £109,984 by the trustee of his 1922 bankruptcy. Regarding unsatisfied debts which Bottomley declared wrong and obsolete,” also £50,000 income tax, which Bottomley characterised as “fantastic,” Bottomley claimed to possess assets worth £1,522 after payment of liabilities estimated at £5,228, including a loan to the Phoenix Press, which was formed to publish the now defunct weekly “John Blunt.” He added that when matters between his own and his dead wife’s estate were adjusted he hoped to dispose of both bankruptcies, paying his debtors in full, as in his two previous bankruptcies.
