Wednesday, 8th November.

IN BANKRUPTCY JURISDICTION,

BEFORE SIR F. T. PIGGOTT (Cher JUSTICE),

CHAN TING PO KEPARTE CHAN TANG.

Mr. Dixon, who appeared for the petitioning creditor, asked that the case stand over till next week, when he would apply for the rescission of the revolving order.

Mr. Wakeman offered as objection; and the request was accord to.

WING ON EXPAKTA TANG SHAN.

Mr. Goldring made application for a receiving order wlating that the case land beon aljourood from last week for further evidence, Ho now submitted an affidavit in which the firm wrote that they had suspended poyment,

The receiving order was made. AUPLICATION FOR A DEETOR'S DISCHARGE.

In the ease of Choy Ching Li alau Tsoi Chọi Chung exparto Lo Tui Clas, MrP. W. Goldring appeared on behalf of the debtor and applied for his discharge. In support of this application he read a number of afidavits. Debtor's second concubine deposed that the debtor paid to har father 24,000 for her about six years ago. Out of that bor fatlior gave her $1,500 us pocket money with which she purchased the greater part of the furniture ased to furnish the house in Gage Street, Subsequently she bought other faraiture, from time to time, sponding in all about $1,000. She lived with debtor in Gago Street, is Hollywood Read and in Wyndham Street, where, learning that he was in dificulties, she had the furniture movel toa dat in Elgia Street during debtor's absence at Canton. She did it without his cognisance and she did not cam municate with him. While she lived in Wyndham Street sho paid therent throngh bor awah. The rent collector's at davit referred to receiving the rent from the anab, while the affidavits of coolias aliuded to the removal of the furniture.

Mr. Goldring--I submit that in spite of the affidavits flod by the petitioning creditor it is clearly established by these affidavits that the furniture belongs to the woman, and also that the furniture was moved not on the 27th June but on the 3rd July, when debtor was away. There is nothing before your Lordship to disprove that. I submit that there is evidence that the woman made a claim on tho farniture.

Mr. Dixson-I submit that the evidence clearly suggests that the bankrupt bas_com. mitted an offence for which, if criminal-pro- coedings bo ta ken, he will undoubtedly he punished. In the event of criminal proceedings being taken we shall be able to obtain more evidence thau is before your Lordship in those aGdavits. These affidarits do not in any way show that the furniture belonged to tho erroud concubine.

His Lordship-The question is- Ars these affidavits sufficient to warrant me to set aside the order I made last week? It is not clearly shown that this property belonged to the coneu- bine. If I wore to express & contrary opinion I should be held to be receiving definite evidence that it is the property of the connabine. That I do not. There are a certain number of

about the matter, I think it would be a serious thing for us to rescind our resolution. As this matter has been discussed in the Executivo Council, I suppose your Excellency can sure me it has been ascertained upon that point what has been done by the Company, otherwise I shall have to ask the Council to postpone the resolution until that fact has been scertained.

3. I do not think it would be desirable that it should be laid down wither that a sum of $350,000 plus half the proceeds of luud sales, as proposed by the Committes that reported on the 24th September, 1903, or that a sum of not Tess than $400,000 as recommended in M. May's drapstoh No. 15, dated the Dth April, 1904. should be devoted to resumptions. With regard to the first of those proposals I am adverse to the introduction into the estimates of the principle, Is EXCELLENCY-It is very much the wish which, if introduced, would admit of various logical extensions of allocating a special sonreg of the Government that these cars should be of receipts to a special object of expenditure; and used.

I think that for the present it must be left to the Governor to suggest each your is large a saw as he thinks sen conveniently be appropriated and profitably spout on resump tions and compensations.

His EXCELLENCY-Do you think there is a reasonable chance of getting the people to use the cars?

The Hon. Dr. Ho Ka-I will communicate with the Chinese newspapers, and also lot it be widely known that unless the cars are used they will be withdrawn.

His EXCELLENCE-These eight Financial Muutos which it is proposed he referred to the Finance Committed deal with sums of $1,000 or less with regard to which you will not roqniro any explanation from me. Minute No 50, 83,887, is to resumo certain small houses and buildings which have been adjudged to be necessary by the Land Court in Cheung Sha Wan Bay. It is in' order to carry out the scheme for reads and boule varis and for lots for industrial undertakings in this important district; and itis necessary that all private rights should be required there. It is actrizable to do this at once. FinancialMinato No. is for an excess in the rates of printing mis- collaneous papers; that excess being mainly due to the publication this year of the first issue of the Hongkong Civil List and also some rather bulky sessional papers like the one which has been bid on the table of the Council this afternoon. Financial Minute No. 54 is for the sum of $50,000 in aid of the wote which was taken oa Suplember 7th this year for the survey of the preliminary work of the Cauton to Kowloon Railway. The surroy hus proceeded somewhat more rapidly than I had expected and we are now in a position to The ATTORNEY GENERAL-I ask that the renme the land required for the road from Farasolution stand over till the next meating of Fu ferry to Taipo Fu.
