In
1862, John Cox moves to the
Jolly Waterman, 23 Rotherhithe Street, Rotherhithe - but about the same
time the Prince of Prussia licence is surrendered through bankruptcy. *
5 Mar 1862 - in 'The Morning Post' it was reported under the heading
'Bankrupts' that John Cox, Great Prescott Street, beer retailer was to
surrender to the court on 19 March 1862 at 11.a.m. (The function of the
surrender process in bankruptcy is to permit a debtor the ability to give up
property he owns that is subject to a lien and outstanding loan. Through the
surrender process, when the creditor receives the property back, the debtor
is relieved of any further obligation for the debt. The release of any
further obligation occurs upon a surrender in bankruptcy even if the value
of the property returned is not sufficient to cover the outstanding balance
on the loan.) *
John Cox died in City of London Workhouse Infirmary in 1867 of Consumption.
His son Alfred Thomas died in October, 1857. *+
