| A shareholder of Carlisle brought a fraud suit against Castlecrag SS Co, showing a fraudulent statement of accounts, in which the builders were owed £20,000. Subsequently CASTLECRAG and CASTLEBANK, were put up for sale by order of the mortgagees. CASTLECRAG was valued at £46,000 and CASTLEBANK at £39,000. Mr Kish a shipowner from Sunderland, bought CASTLECRAG for £26,500 (but quickly re-sold), while the bid for CASTLEBANK was raised from £17,000 to £21,300. However as this did not meet the reserve price she was sold privately for a larger sum. | |
