THE JUDGMENT

In giving judgment His Lordship said: "This petition has been at- tacked on three grounds: firstly, by Mr. Silva, representing the debt

that the ground

the bankruptcy notice is statutorily bad; secondly, the motive of the petitioning creditor in instituting the proceedings is improper; and thirdly, that the proceedings are opposed by the Official Recélver on the grounds of insufficiency of

assets.

*The objection of the Official Receiver is one he is entitled to take, and, as he has taken it, I sustain it, and the result is that this petition is dismissed. In the circumstances I maké no order as to costs."
