Biographical history
From approximately 1864 to 1874, Herbert Charles Voight handled cases of Bankruptcy as the Official Assignee under the Insolvent Act of 1864 of the Province of Canada, and then under the federal Insolvent Act of 1869 . Voight was an accountant and was appointed according to the Act, by the Kingston Board of Trade.
Custodial history
This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Voight papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.
Scope and content
The sous fonds consists of two series covering bankruptcy cases from 1864 to 1874 in the Kingston area. The first series consists of procedural material and contains a few files of Voight's accounts, sample forms, bills for advertising creditor's meetings and samples of his office filing systems. The second series conatins files for 27 major cases of bankruptcy and one file for a minor case. The cases cover various types of businesses such as: furniture dealer, tinsmith, plumber, merchants, a brewery owner and farmers. In each case the name and date of the cases are listed and the occupation, when know. Included in each case file is the official claim, notice from creditors and occasionally inventories or insurance policies that give descriptions of the business and premises involved.
