Shoolbred, Race and Company v. Charles Powers and Company

1880 - 1886

From: 1880 To: 1886

This case involved a speculation by a fictitious company; Shoolbred, Race and Company of 127 Piccadilly, Walter Shoolbred’s private address. £1800 was claimed for two hundred tons of linseed cake, sold for £9 per ton and not delivered. In fact the speculation was a private venture by Walter Shoolbred of the firm of drapers based in the Tottenham Court Road with George Race and E F Powers. The case forms an integral part of the latter’s bankruptcy and the collapse of Charles Powers and Company. For further details see “Powers Family of Biggleswade” via HF41/2
