In July 1931 bankruptcy proceedings were begun against Sydney John Boyland, Constable, 16 Sophia Place, Portsmouth. The background is explained in the Hampshire Telegraph, 4 Aug 1931. Two years earlier he had been involved in a road accident in Connah's Quay, Flintshire while driving a hired car for which, he understood, he was covered by insurance. He was not and claims by injured parties led to the debts against him.
