When you took over from the voluntary liquidators, you were provided with a balance sheet which clear ly showed the figure which you have been asked for I think it was a Trial Balance Sheet. Can you produce that Balance Sheet?.

I do not think I had a Balance Sheet.

A typewritten Balance Sheet dated the 10th of

June, 1929.

(Document produced and marked Exhibit EB)

I received the document shewn from the officials of the Company.

Are they not the voluntary liquidators?.

Yes.

On that Balance Sheet on that date the Subdry Debtors consequent upon these applications loans and promissory notes shewn to be 287,000.00 odd Sundry Debtors as per list "A".

$287,005.91 interest $4,424.37 total $291,430.28, that was handed to you on the 10th of June, or

about, and list "A" refers to these promissory notes in respect of these shares?. The Balance Sheet in not dated. You received that paper in June.

Yes.

Can you say that the list "A" refers to the prom- 188 ory notes in respect of these shares?. I cannot say.

Q. A.

Will you look further into your papers and see if you can find list "A".

(List "A" found and marked Exhibit FF which to❤ gether with Exhibit EB were handed over to Mr. Fitzroy).

I received this list also from the officials of the Company.

I want you to check the list "A" as corresponding with the names of the persons appearing in the books who have given promissory notes in respect of these shares.

(After consulting list "A") They are the names of the persons who gave promissory notes in respe- ot of the shares, but I have two additional names. List "A" is not all inclusive?.

There are two more on List "B" which are not in my list.
