The records were originally found loose in a volume of records transferred from Court Services in 1980. They were then removed from the volume and reaccessioned as part of G88-135 at the BC Archives.
Scope and content
The series consists of an affidavit and a notice regarding payments to be made in the bankruptcy case of R.F. Pickett, a Victoria merchant. The governing legislation for the case was the “Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act” of 1849.
