MR. A. CROWLEY’S £5,000 DEBTS.

The first meeting of creditors was held in Bankruptcy-buildings under a receiving order against Edward Alexander Crowley, the author.

The Official Receiver said Mr. Crowley, who stated that he was also a psychiatrist and was commonly known as Aleister Crowley, estimated his liabilities at £5,000.

He did not admit insolvency, and attributed his present position to inability to earn money owing to damage to his reputation arising from a lawsuit.

His assets comprised a large claim in a pending action against a person [Gerald Yorke] now said to be in Shanghai.

Mr. Crowley’s affairs were left in the Official Receiver’s hands.
