Sing Ki, a registered partnership, was in the debt of the bank to the extent of $140,000. The firm had also accepted two bills of exchange drawn upon them by Hang Fat and Ngy Cheung Seng, dated October 25th, 1920, Saigon on October 14th at 15 days sight, for $150,000 and $100,000 respectively. These bills, which had been accepted by the partnership, fell due on November Zist and 10th. He had reason to believe that the bill would be dishonoured by failure to pay. The manager of the Banque de l'Indo-Chine in Hongkong. had told him that a bill of exchange for $300,000. drawn in Saigon on the Chap Cheung Ki dated October 7th 1920, payable to his bank on 15th days' sight,' Thad been accepted by the partnership on -October 19th and dishonoured by non- payment to the extent of $200,000. The :same gentleman had also informed him Billod Exchange for that another =$150,000," maturing on December 20th, had been accepted by the partnership. It was anticipated that it, also, would be dishonoured. The Hongkong and Shang. hai Banking Corporation held bills of ex- change on the partnership to the extent of about $300,000, maturing shortly. The manager expected them to be dis- honoured. The register showed that the company had been entered as having The following will represent the C.R.C. capital of $400,000 of which the prin in the above match on Saturday at 215 cipal shareholders resided outside the p.m. on the Club ground: Ng Sze jurisdiction of the court,
Information had been obtained that the Kiang Chow had arrived with rice for the partnership; and that the Devawongse was expected with another cargo. As it was desirable that these cargoes be secured against any loss to the creditors, the Official Receiver had appointed a prov sional liquidator.
Further evidence was submitted that the winding-up rules, had been complied with, and the petition published and served.
