A YARN BMASK.

N

The receiving ordor granted against Iu Tar Iu, Iste & partner in the Him Yik Yarn shop, was rescinded on the motion of Mr F. B. L. Bowley. An arrangement had been arrived at by the creditors and the debtor, and the former has undertaken to withdraw proceedings in Ohins against the debtor's state.

A SHALL AFFAIR,

A receiving order was granted against Ying Kat L porte Lal Hang Sek. Mir D'Alinada stated that the assets wore about

$3000.

The Chief Justice pointed out that the 82009 and the liabilitles e re varle the

taxing master should decide.

In the same action Mr Master applied for the return of 82,200 which had been paid into court by the debtor's brother to prevent the sale of certain property. At the time that the money was paid in thers was sono understanding that if the pro porty was finally and the money should I returned. The property had been sold and he asked for the money.

The Chief Justice thought the simplest plan would be for the Registrar to report

on the matter.

Mr. Looker submitted the application should be supported by affidavit.

A DISTRESSED JEDTOR, Mr Griet made an application on behalf of H. W. R. Matthaey, late of tho Occidental Hotel, Kowloon, for the pay- light out of the assots of 9250 for the Disintenance and support of debtor's wife

and family.

The Chief Justice-How long is It to 1st?

Mr Grist-I think the money is alrendy expended. Mr Matthacy has been in hospital and the bill amounts to 880.30. He has to support himgolf, his wife and six children and has no necupation at the present time. He has been living on credit is just in that position, which is very unfortunate for hun.

The Chief Justico-Is this not a case for the hospital?

Me Gris-Well, there is his family well!

The Chief Justice-The Sharp Hospital. Mr Grist He is out of the hospital now, but it is one of the fow cases which the Sharp Hospital could mest. He is now looking for employment.

The Chial Justice-How much is there in the assets?

Mr Grist-Some few thousand dollars, great deal hoing out en promissory notes.

The Chief Justice-If he does not get employment it will take all that.

Mr Grist-I do not think I could go on making the applications, but I submit that this is a caso where the Court should

exerciso its discretion.

In the case of Li You debtor, Mr Grist made an application for the amount collected by the debtor to be handed to the Official Receiver. The naseis amount- ed to $800 in cash and $168,000 in debts. Of the latter ameant debtor had collected $4000. The liabilities exceeded the assets.

HALF A MILLION INVOLVED.

A receiving order was granted against King Yuen Tai ex parte Lu Sing Bum. Mr Gardiner made the application, remarking that debtors by nbgunting thenisolves from their place of business had committed an act of bankruptes. Assets were $290,000 and liabilities 2250,000, but of the assets only about 850,000 would be recovered, hosides 840,000 in cash.
