The Official Receiver said that In a statement of affairs sworn by Miss Schipta in August last year, nnsecured labtitles were given as £27,340 odd, and contingent limbi. Ittles at 267,139, of which only £1,268 was expected to rank. Miss Schiniz sald she expected her nasets to realise £25,005.

The Official Receiver: The actual deficiency which you show in this statement of affairs is only £2,8147 ---Yes.
