What is an Assignment listed in London Gazette?
« on: Sunday 29 January 17 21:16 GMT (UK) »
I have just found an Assignment from the Lon Gazette, but listed in Birmingham Gazette; however what is it exactly?  I guess something to do with bankruptcy or debts.   It is only a list of names and includes a John Walkerley,  Fulstow, Lincs, farmer & shopkeeper. 
Many thanks for info on what it means.

You can see a London Gazette entry about John Walkerley at https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/22307/page/3452
Assignment the legal transference of a right or property; the document that effects or authorizes the transference.
