BANKRUPTCY COURT

PROCEEDINGS

CHINESE FISHMONGERS' ELUSIVE ASSETS

FIRM. SINKS WITH JUNK

At the Bankruptcy Court this; morning before the Chief Justice. Sir Henry Gollan, the Official Re celver, Mr. E. L. Agassiz, applied for an adjudication order in the matter of John Valentine Dadd, [formerly Chief Interpreter of the

Supreme Court.

In making the application Mr. 'Agassiz said that he had originally ¡applied for a receiving order against the debtor, whose liabili- ties were large and his only asset being his salary. Mr. Dodd had since the last proceedings worked for Mr. J. M. Remedios, Solicitor, for only one month. He is now in Shameen where he had obtained an- ! other employment, a permanent one, and his employers had consented to contribute $80 a month toward liquidating Mr. Dodd's liabilities as long he remained in their employ.

Application Granted Under the circumstances, Mr. | Agassiz thought that it would bej best to apply for adjudication order,

since Mr. Dodd was out of the juri- sidiction of the Court and also that no execution order could be levied against him. The applica [tion was granted.

In the matter of the King Loong firm. Mr. Agassiz made a similar application. Mr. F. H. Loseby was present in Court on behalf of a pe- titioning creditor. Adjudication order was granted.

Mr. Loseby said that they had Mr. Loseby said that the debtor firm carried on business in the only the Official Receiver's word Colony and had borrowed $661.78 for it that all the machinery had from his client.

The petitioning credition, Chan Fung, gave evidence of the money owing to him by the debtor firm. Questioned by the Official Receiver, he admitted that Au Wing had sup- plied him with the information which he had embodied in his affidavit showing the sasets of the debtor firm.

Mr. Agassiz: The item relating to the book debt, in which it was! shown that $3,200 was owing to the debtor arm, was supplied by Au Wing ?--Yes.

Do you believe that this is true and if so why cannot they pay you when so much money is owing to them?

I believe it la true and the rea- son they cannot pay me is because they themselves owe people about! $20,000.

Machinery Sold Questioned as to the other items, creditor said that he had been told that the machinery and fittings in debtor's firm were worth $4,000.

The Official Receiver sald that machinery and fittings were auc tioned for only $1,500. To this creditor said that he had not allow ed for depreciation.
