An application by the Official Receiver for recission of the Receiv ing Order made against Mr. John interpreter at the Supreme Court was adjourned by the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gollan) in the Bank- ruptcy Court yesterday for sub- stituted service of the notice out of jurisdiction to be effected.
.
Mr. Agassiz said the application was made on the usual grounds that there were no substantial assets. When publicly examined, Mr. Dodd made an offer to pay monthly instal- ments of 880 out of his salary and also any commission he might have in addition. At that time Mr. Dodd was employed by Mr. J. M. d'Almada Remedios but he held the appointment for exactly a month and only one instalment of $60 had been received.
