 the splendid stock was disposed of, consisting of rich cut decanters, 

 jugs ; salad bowls ; celery glasses ; dessert plates and dishes ; pickle 

 glasses ; tumblers and wine glasses of every description j hall and

In February, 1836, it is announced that there is to be sold 

 " all the Bankrupt's (O'Connell) interests in the concerns known
