OFFICIAL RECEIVER AND “A NEW REASON."

PREVIOUS FAILURES.

Mr. Horatio Bottomley attended for his public examination before Mr. Registrar Warmington, at the London Bankruptcy Court. He was described as a journalist, of Groa- venor-gardens, S.W.

His amended statement of affairs showed liabilities of £116,769, of which £115,899 were unsecured, and estimated assets of £1,000, apart from two book debts of the face value of £11,500, the realisable value of which was very uncertain.

Of the abilities £109,984 were, returned as due to the trustee in the 1922 bankruptcy proceedings, being in respect of the unsatisfied bulance of debts according to the proof of debt.

Questioned by Mr. Waterer, the Deputy Official Receiver. Mr. Bot- tomley said that he had..failed on three previous occasions. but on the first two the receiving orders were rescinded, and the adjudien- tions were annulled, the debts: being paid full.

"But," he added, "£1,250 in these days is something to me."

He did not say, however, that the figures put by the Deputy Official Receiver were correct. He was not responsible for them and had not; checked them. He (Mr. Bottomley) would have to investigate the mat- ter. He had since remembered samething and that he had paid considerable sums back to people who said that they had suffered
