BANKRUPTCY COURT

THREE CASES BEFORE

CHIEF JUSTICE

Before the Chief Inetico. (Sir Joseph Komp) yesterday, three public examinations were heard at the Supreme Court

Mr. Les Hong Ho, managing partner of the Sang. Leo firm com- pradore shop of COA, Des Vaux Road in the course of his examina tion sail that he was the smallest, partuen in the firm, his share being $800 of a total capital of $18,000.

All the other shareholders had left the Colony and he had not seen them for two or three years. The firm had made no profits and he, personally, had no means. As far as he knew, the other partners had no property.

No Balance Sheets.

For the phat three or four years no balance sheet had been made out. He handed no books to Mr. Ho Loung (of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., petitioning credi- tors) at the creditors' meeting, but only chops, important documents and a small sum of money. After the meeting, the books were taken from the shop by representatives of creditors to the Compradores' As- sociation. Ho had managed the business entirely. For a few months in 1930 the fim' acted as agents to a shipping firm. In that year he was 84,000 short of the mount xo- quired to pay creditors in full. In the next year, they lost about $6,000 in exchange.

He realised tho firm was insolvent in 1930, but continued trading in the hope that business would im- prove and he would be able to pay the creditors. Business became worse, and now the firm's liabilities amounted to "$38,000.

The examination was closed and an ndjudication order made on the application of Mr. E. L. Agassiz, Official Receiver.

Other Cases.,

Rahmat Dia, an Indian chauffeur, of 131, Wousung Street, Kowloon, in the course of his examination stated that he came to the Colony from India nine years ago, and then lehaned to drive a car. He was at present employed as a chauffeur at 805 a month. His liabilities amount to 2,595, and with the exception of three sums for 810, 830 and $201 the amount of debt was incurred by guaranteeing promissory notes for other men.

Mr. Agassiz questioned debtor at length regarding the promissory notes and applied for an adjudica tion order, which was granted, debtor to pay $10 a month.
