Witness: I did not send one cash out of the jurisdiction, except for a debt I had to pay.

Witness, continuing, said that he promised to give his daughter-in-law $103,000, but after- wards he could not do so, so he gave her a mortgage on the Bonham Strand property for $30,000, and another on the Caine Road for $10,000,

Mr. Wakeman: No, my Lord, there has not been time to furnish copies.

Mr. d'Almada è Castro: Perhaps the Official Receiver might give us the gist of it now.

His Honour: I don't think he can do that he bad better read it.

The report was read.

Mr. d'Almada Castro said his clieut was simply a dormant partner in the business, and never at any time took any active part in the business, and he would therefore ask that the order, as far as he was concerned, be suspended. his client, but he would asked that the order Mr. Dixon said it was difficult to argue for he suspended for him for two months. There were very considerable assets. "Ifyour Lord. ship wistes to hear him 1 will call him '

His Honour: That is for the Official Receiver to say I don't want him.

Mr. Wakeman: I don't want to ask hic any questions, but if he has anything to say in ex- planation of his affairs you can call him.

Mr. Dixon then said that under these circum. stances he would not call him,, but he would ask that he be discharsed, the discharge to be suspended for a reasonable lime.

His Ronour said he would not give him his discharge as the case was worse against him

than against the others.

Hit Honour said that as regards Wong Saa Ku il was clear that he was the managing partner in the firm, and he would suspend his | discharge for three years, and suspend the discharge of the other two for two years.
