REPORT OF THE OFFICIAL RECEIVER AND
REGISTRAR OF TRADE MARKS AND LETTERS
PATENT FOR THE YEAR 1930.
BANKRUPTCY.
New Business.
1. The number of petitions filed during the year exceeded by five those in 1929. The assets collected were very considerably larger, amounting approximately to $830,000.00. This large increase is principally accounted for by sums received in connection with the liquidation of the Industrial and Commercial Bank Limited. This liquidation also accounted for a corresponding increase in the estimated amount of liabilities.
Fees.
2. The fees received for Official Receiver's commission amounted approximately to $11,600.00. Fees payable in stamps, which go through the books of the Supreme Court, also increased about 20 per cent.
Bankruptcy Discharges.
3. Six discharges were granted during the year, subject in each case to short suspensions. No applications for discharge were refused.
Companies Winding-up.
4. One compulsory winding-up order was made during the course of the year.
