There was a slight hitch in the case of the Kwong Lee firm, pro- vision merchants and compradores, of No. 5, Queen Victoria-street.

Mr. H. L. Dennys, Jr., appeared for Lam Kon-hing, the petitioning creditor and Mr. Russ for the debtor.

Mr. Dennya informed his Lord- ship that there had been a pre- vious petition, but the act of hank- ruptcy had not been proved, · This was a new petition, and (in: res- ponse to his Lordship) was 'based on a new act of bankruptcy.

The petitioning creditor testified that debtor owed him $1,000 on a promissory note.
