We are in receipt of your letter of the 20th. instant,

inviting our views to the suggestion that the naacts of the

above Tira in Hongkong and Singapore shoull be pooled, and

tint the two liquidations should be treated as one for the

purpose of distribution.

According to z rough atatuæent of affalha deted ti

blat. January last, ssnt to us by the Liquidston, the estimated

deficiency at Singapore was $77,239.82, 8truits Cupsènoj.

The Liquidator, in forwarding the statement, ravarked `that

probably the stack would not realise the satinated valus at

suotion.

* have heard from Singapore since that the

liquidation would result in (perhaye) the run of $14,000 being

available te mout zuropean ereditare for £8,570. This will

izorease the deficianoy to over $42,000.

One of the reasons for the increase in the amount of

the estimated deficiency, in so far as it relate, to ordinary

creditors, is undoubtedly the law in Eingapore as to lecal

creditors whose claims have to be paid in full. The oleim

o the landlord of the shop in Bingapore fer dans nos has

baen kesesued at $9,900 plus cesta, and bairg s leoal claim,

Las been, or willbe, ast it full. We have no definits

information as to this but have drawn the ierorķinos from the *

wide divergence in the figures given as the entiated defiology
