In Singapore there was a remarkable de creais in the number and importance of the bankruptcies with a consequent decrease in the amoact of lasolvency, the revenue darned being chiefly in respect of bankruptcies which occur red in 1908 and the preceding years. There was also a decrease in the number of bank

In Singapore, there were issued in 1909 133 bankruptcy notices as against 274 in 1908, Re ceiving orders were made in ós caves as against 100 in the previous year, 43, on creditor's petitions and 19 on debtor's petitions; the total bumber of petitianu pentanzad, haing, lyktan. ́against 151 in 1958, la Penaug, there were fled 76 bankruptcy notices, which resulted in the filing of 56 patitions-53 by creditors and
