FA Harding, and the guy. After the display a masked dance was held for the
members of the club, and this was well attended, about 200 being present. Mr

The Liabilities
War Time Adjustment Acts 1941 and 1944 provided
for the arrangement, adjustment or settlement of the financial affairs of
debtors or creditors whose circumstances were affected by the war. Liabilities
Adjustment Officers were appointed to areas by the Lord Chancellor and their
jurisdiction was based on County Court Districts. Persons who were in serious
financial difficulties could apply to the Adjustment Officer in the appropriate
district for advice and assistance to arrive at an equitable and reasonable
scheme of arrangement.
So by 1943, he
was a temporary civil servant and the financial affairs in some regard between
Walter and debtors or creditors were regulated because they had been impacted
by the War.
