BANKRUPTCY COURT.
WING CHEONG HONG. APPLICATION REFUSED.
An application for a compulsory winding up of the affairs of the Wing Cheong Hong China Product Company, was made by Mr. H. G. Sheldon in the Supreme Court on Saturday. Mr. Sheldon explained that the directors were afraid there would be difficulty about Iquidation owing to the fact that the books were in Chinese. He wished them to be handed over to the Court oficials.
Mr. Sheldon said that there were 620 shares of $100, but they had boen issued at $50, the other half being owing on them. The assets of the company comprised the re- maining $50 on each of the shares, book debts and money guarantees, the whole of the assets totalling $51,000. The liablities $30,000 but although it appeared that there was thus a balance, Mr, Sheldon said that there was con- siderable doubt as to the possibill ty of collection of certain of the
debts.

Representing the Kai Tai Com- Somerset creditors, Mr. Fitzroy raised an objection to the application. He said that the firm had been in difficulties for some time and should have been wound up, but they had waited till judgment had been obtained in another case: This had, caused the Kni Tai Company considerable trouble.
His Lordship remarked that to make an order such as 'he was ask- ed to do by the applicants he would have to be antialed that the com- pany was unable to pay its debts. With the figures before him he could not be satisfied is to this. He was not in a position to be zatisfied that any of the, debts up, pearing in the books were bad. He therefore dismissed the ap plication with costs and declined to grant an adjournment, which Mr. Sheldon asked for.
