IN BANKRUPTCY!

BEFORE SI FRANCIS PIGUOTT (CHIEF JUSTICE),

RECKIVING ORDER, GRANTED. Re be Cheong Wing Bank. Mr. E. L.Grist (of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist) for the petitioning ercditor applied for a receiving order on the ground that the debtors had given notics of mispension of payment. The liabilities wore shout £60,000, and the assoth $58,050, portim of which was owing in the Colony and could bo recovered. Abost $30,000 was due in Penang, and there might be some little delay in recover- ing thie,

The Oficial Receiver-The assets apparently Bxceed the liabilities, and the bank is not bankrupt..

Mr. Grist This is one of those cases where as often happens at home-it is in the interest. of oreditors to take proceedings.

His Lorlabip-I don't think I can take the $30,000 into consideration; of course, it will be collected if possible.

The Oficial Receiver-The assets exceed the liabilities.

Mr. Locker--I don't know what precedent thero is for the debtor making a gratuitous alatement like this, as we may publicly want to examine him on it later. What he is doing it for 1 cannot conceive, except that he has possibly been advised that it is better for him to try to remove Boy false impression from your Lordship's

THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT TO BE ESTABLISHED IN KOREA, According to the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun there is a difference of opinion among Japanese salesmen as to the form of government which the present situation of affairs requires in Horen. It is stated that military role is advocated in some quarters, on the ground that nothing short of this will preserve order in distriots where streng anti-Japanese feeling prevails. But Marquis Ito is reported to be rongly opposed to resorting to this extreme measure if it can possibly be avoided. The

ny Resident-General does not d call for adding another Division to the military force Japau now has in Korea, and, on thà recommendation-of-General Hasegawa, this measure is said to have been determined on. But se to the general chamoter of the administra. tion, Marquis Ito insista that it must be more evil thao military. His opinion is that it will thoroughly aficiont fake 5 gaars to cutablish a
