Cross-examined by the Official Receiver (Mr. E. P. H. Lung) deblor gave evidence on various items of assets and liabilities, the Official Receiver stating that on the figures there appeared to be about ten per cent.. but he was not quite sure whether all the aaacts would materialise.

Mr. H. J. Armstrong said he appeared for one of the creditors, but he had no power to cross examine debtor at that stage.

His Lordship said he was not very well satisfied that the money would materialise at all, so Mr. Rendall asked his Lordship to make a receiving order which could be rescinded later if the assets were not realised, pointing out that such an order had been

made before.

His Lordship declined to make the order, but adjourned the mat ter until the next bankruptcy sit; ting to enable further enquiry and -investigation to be made in the

meantime.

Another Case.

His Lordship made a receiving order in the case of the Kwong Shing Cheong firm, No. 8, Wing Wo Street. Mr. F. C. E. Rendall was for the petitioning creditor. Wong Cheung-kee, No. 36, Lee Tung Street.

The petitioning creditor said that the debtor firm owed him the sum of $3,000 in respect of money lent under a borrowing note. He had received a notice from the firm suspending payment. Witness stated that as far as he had been able to find out the debtor firm's liabilities weer about $70,000, while assets were about $20,000.

The Official Receiver said he had no objection to make against the order, as there was more than ten per cent..
