The Commissioners in a Commission of Bankrupt against Murfrey Hawley, late of Watford in Hertfordshire, Innholder and Vintner, intend to meet on Tuesday the 13th of June next, at 3 in the afternoon, at the Irish-Chamber in Guildhall, London; and such of his creditors as have not proved their debts, and paid their contribution-money, are then to do the same, otherwise they will be excluded the said dividend.

Editorial note: Reconstructed conservatively from a truncated page-end notice and its immediate continuation. Debtor is tied to Watford, but the meeting place is Guildhall; left unpointed. Retained because it links insolvency to innholding and victualling.
