IN BAISKRUPTCY.

T>e J. G. Restull—<'ffi ial A>st.ignee < ]S*ow Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agencj Company. Limited rl h s was a motiot to void all iiifiruinenta executed by tlif li;-tikrupt m f.ivor of iho Company cr 51 ly 14, 1894. ha having committed ai ; c- of baiikrup:cy on May 7, by notifying his crcdi'Ors that he had nuspended (ay mcnf, and than Mi* Hurley, the .manager of the Company, had full knowledge ol this. rt he traiisfi rs were alleged to cover the whole of bankrupt's property, estimated at about £4000, includ ing certain equities of redemption of farms, which latter Mr Russell said he was not clear about, and would aban don—Restell filed on August 6, but the bankruptcy would relate back to the 7th of May, the dats of the notice to the creditors. The properties remained m the hands of Restell until they were taken possession of by the re-constructed company, hubsequent to the date of the contract between the old and new com panies, May 16. Following is the con tinuation cf the evidence : — David Stewart, manager Union Bank of Australia, Ashburton, said- Since July 2 had account m name of New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company. Mr Steele signed cheques on it, pro manager, and Messrs Blackburn and Sharp counter sign. This is the reconstructed Company. The Land Association Company, Limited, account was opened on July 9, 1894, and closed, he believed, m October, 1894. It was running at the time of New Zealand , Loan and Mercantile account, A. W. Steele said he was agent at Bakaia for the Loan Company. Was m fcheir employ on August 30, 1894. Held \ auction sale ab Chertsey on behalf of the new Company, %yd sold the 6tock and plant of Jleetell's estate from Bellevue farm at thia Bale. Mr Wilding said Mr Fit her agreed with him that there was no necessity for troubling the Court with all these details, >. as if His Honor gave judgment for plain-1 tiff, the matter would be simply a question of account, which conld be settled after wards, i continued—The proceeds i were paid to the Company and witness I gave delivery. Took charge for Company on June 1, 1894, at Rakaia, also having charge cf Ashburton branch. The latter office is m the store which is leased to Friedlander Bros. E. B. Restell, brother of the bankrupt, said he was m charge of Bellevue farm. Went there about May 10, 1894. Knew Mr Brown was acting under J. G. Kestell's orders, Got instructions occasionally from Mr Steele and Mr Winter. Did not take possession for the Company, as Mr Harley did not think it advisable on account of the Company's relations wuh his brother. Mr Brown, a cadet, was put m possession. His brother directed (he management and gave witness instruc tions. Mr Harley told witness m Christ church that Brown was only a dummy. Cross-examined by Mr Fisher—Had been on the farm since April 20 by his brother's instructions to manage it. Had Mr Brown and s» youth name Grigg under him. Went to Cbristchurch on May 10 to see Mr idarley as to keeping control of the farm, as he understood m consequence of an advertisement he had seen, that his brother had done with it, and witness wanted to keep his billet. Mr Winter had not been up to the farm before wit ness wtnt down. Remembered handing over sheep to Brown. Brown and Irm self made an inventory for Mr Hailey. Knew when this was made, ifc was incon sistent with his brother retaining control. By Mr Wilding—There was no practical change from April till the Company took charge on May 10. Still received instruc tions from his brother. After May 10, Mr Winter and Mr Steele both gave in structions. This closed plaintiff's case. •For d fendantp, Mr Fisher called E. S. Harley, who taid he was manager of the new Company, Was manager of the old Company m Christchurch. The now Company commenced business m New Zealand on July 1, 1894. A little of Restell's estate, say £500 worth, had been realised before this. The proceeds were paid to credit of liquidator of the old Company. Made the sale as agent for the liquidator. The new Company took over the business linger a scheme approved by the High Court at Home. Copy of the terms was produced by Mr Fisher and objected to by Mr Wilding, as not being evidence. Counsel for defendants agreed with Mr Fisher they should recover this £500 from the liquidator. Mr Fisher contended that thia would bring plaintiff as a creditor of the old Company, and he must accept a state ment under the agreement. His Honor thought theie was the question of the Company handing over, j with full knowledge, property which j belonged to the Assignee m Bankruptcy, and a long argument ensued. Witness continuing — Remembered making arrangements with Restell, and the latter furnishing balance sheets. Did not know his finan cial position was bad m September, 1883. He told witness his assets were £250 better than the balance shown. In March, 1894, bankrupt showed £232 surplus. Thought be was solvent then. His lease of the store expired on February 28, 1894. He asked permission to carry on some of his agencies m the office, He was also to receive commissions on busi ness done. Mr Secretan was m charge of the district then, and Rsstell was under him. Sent Sharp to Ashburton at the end of 1894 to take over the goods m the store, and received an inventory from him* la April allowed Sharp to come down for a few days to assist Restell with the balance. At this time thought he should get possession of the sheep, and got from Restell particulars of where they were, Heard Restell's statement that no steps had been taken till June 11, 1894, to take possession of the sheep. On May 10, told R. B. Restell to take charge at Ohertsey under Mr Winter and Mr Steele. Cross-examined by Mr Russell-—Should not have objected to J. G. Reatell looking after the sheep after May 10, as he had fall confidence m him. The letter* were signed by Brown and others to protect the property, not as against Restell himself. No orders were given to exclude him from the Chertsey farm. Brown was Restell's servant till May. Brown was consigned to witness from England. (Laughter.) The ad vertisement of May 8 was the first notice of change of ownership given to the public—the day after the meeting of creditors, Hugh Brown said he was getting colonial experience on Mr Restell's farm at Chertsey. Had no salary. Was to get 10s per week after the first six months. Restell's boy (Painter) took sheep from Chertsey to Westerfield after witness signed the latter acknowledging the sheep to belong to the Company Looked upon the place as Reotell's and apted on his orders. The Company paid fitness latterly. By His Hpnor—Considered himself m charge, if any creditors turned up to take the stock. James McLeod stockman, remembered sheep being taken from Westerfisld on behalf of the Loan Company. Drafted them at Tinwald, apd sept two men with fchem to Methyen, and delivered them to
