THE BANKRUPTCY GAZETTE OF NEW ZEALAND. To be Published on WEONRSDAYS and SATURDAYS, a t the Office of The Mercan-' tile Gazette, Dunedin. Price, 6d. • Yearly subscription (payable in advance), £1 10s; with postage, £1 12s 6d. The first number I will appear on Saturday, 10 th August. j This publication is established in order to meet the terms of a resolution passed by.the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce on the Ist August, as follows:—" That notices of all bankruptcies be advertised in the Mercantile Gazette of New Zealand, provided it becomes a public newspaper under the terms of the Newspaper Act." ! The Chamber of Commerce having thus" affirmed the expediency of establishing a general Gazette in Bankruptcy, in connection with the Mercantile Gazette, the Proprietor of that pub lication has resolved to establish a Gazette devoted entirely to the purpose, to be registered under the Newspapers Aot, and published as an ordinary.newspaper. Each Saturday number will contain, in addition to Gazette notices, an alphabetical list of Bankrupts, an abstract of proceedings in Bankruptcy, statements of liabi lities and assets, reports of cases, notes on the law of Bankruptcy, and other matter of interest to business men. The Gazette will have the ad vantage of being easily filed for reference, and at the same time forming a permanent record. Title nage and index being furnished for each volume. j Should the Legislature grant the prayer of the petition about to be presented by declaring the Mercantile Gazette a general Gazette in Bank ruptcy, the present publication will necessarily contain all the Gazette notices in Bankruptcy^ But should the Legislature not think fit to do so, the Bankruptcy Gazette will nevertheless con tinue to appear as an independent publication, , containing all the information in bankruptcy, matters that can bo obtained by means of agencies already established in the chief centres of commercial activity. • ! The attention of solicitors is particularly directed to the Bankruptcy. Gazette, not only as a source of information in daily business, but especially as a medium for the publication of Gazette notices. I To reduce the expense of advertising as much as possible, a uniform charge of 7s 6d will be made for each notice—a charge considerably less than that of the daily papers. As the Bankruptcy Gazette will commence work on established circulation through the medium of the Mercantile Gazette, and will cer tainly acquire a large circulation of its own; it deserves the attention of general advertisers.
