SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS." In another case, the question arose as to what constitute "sub- stantial Assets," which the Ordin- ance lays down as necessary for the making of a receiving order.

In the case in question, Mr. E.health: Davidson, who appeared on behalf of the debtor opposed the Official Receiver's application for the annul ment of a receiving order, claiming that the assets of $8,000-possibly more-constituted assets as required by the Ordin- ance, and that 7 per cent,, or more. which could be paid, was a substan- tial dividend. He contended that once the court had exercised its dis- cretion in granting & receiving order, the matter could not be re opened. The meaning of the word substantial was, he thought that assets should amount to something worth dividing and 7 per cent, was certainly worth dividing.
