Auction sale 1860
« on: Thursday 09 April 15 16:18 BST (UK) »
I have just found a newspaper article in the Jersey Independent and Daily Telegraph (3 April 1860) advertising the sale by auction of furniture and household effects of my 2 x great grandfather Charles Fowler. It says they are to be sold by auction "before one of the Officers of the Petty Court". Does that mean that the goods were being sold to pay debts or a fine. It sounds as if the sale was forced for some reason.
Any ideas?
