Roberts was adjudicated bankrupt in April, 1898, his estate paying a small dividend, and in April, 1900, when he was about to go abroad on a professional tour, he applied for his dis charge. The Official Receiver then reported that the assets were dat equal to sos, in the pound, that the bankrupt had failed to keep proper books, that he had traded after know- ledge of insolvency, that he had given undue preference to one of his creditors within three months of the receiving order, and that he bed made a previous arrangement with his creditors. The bankrupt consented to have judgment entered against him for £1,500, to be paid at the rate of £300 a year. The first year's pay got was not made, but when the bankrupt came back from his tour in July, 1902, be filed a Hatement showing a surplus of income over expenditure to the amount of £500, of which

Waiwupu each day, so that one day even when she did not go to the Palace, this coachman and groom had the audacity to apply to the paymaster's department at the Waiwupu for their usual "ip" for food money. It so hap pened that the official on duty that day at the Pay department knew that the American lady did not go to the l'alace on that occasion and so he naturally refused to be imposed upon by the mainos. This led to much tall swearing o the part of Yu King's mafoos usual with men of that class, coding in a free use of the fists on both sides. In conclusion, it may be stated that the expenses incurred by the Waiwupu up to date for the space of over one year in relation to the board, etc, of the merican lady painter (and her following) has amounted to the rate of $203 per diem-over and above the fee demanded by the painter.
