the Bank began to feel uneasy about Mr. Townsend's account dur- in March of this year when his. overdraft went up to $140,000.

When the goods were being trans- ferred. Mr. Roberts continued, the bank required Mr. Townsend to make a new list of goods, which Mr. Townsend did and submitted to the bank on April 4. Being doubtful about the accuracy of the ed Tis. 139,000, the Bank asked Mr. E Payne of Collins & Co, to make ap inventory. This inventory re- vealed that the total value of goods. Whyte-Smith at Kowloon Magis being transferred was only Tis. 112,000, a difference of 820,000.
