MEETING OF MR H. A. H. HITCHENS' CREDITORS.

Two Sides to the Story .of Insolvency.

A M beting of the creditors of Henry Albert Holland Hitchens, compounded of pro prietary medicines, was held this morning" in the Supreme Court, the Official Assignee presiding. About a dozen gentlemen were nreßent, Messrs Greenuway and Brassey ap pearing for the debtor. The Chairman sub mitted the following statement: ~ Un eecured creditors, L7Bl Is 4d; secured creditors, LI,400: total, L' 2,181 Is 4d. Estimated value of securities, L 2.191 4s 6d ; surplus over amount secured, L 791 4s 6d. Stock-in-trade, L2OO ; esti mated value of book debts, L 340; cash in hand, 6a 4d ; furniture, LSU 4s Gd ; pro perty, L 3.510. Total, L 5.352. Surplus over liabilities, L 3.17114?. The unsecured creditors were 13 in number, viz., L. D. Nathan and Co. (L 271195), L H. Neumegen (L 100). Geo. Dunnett (L 150), and 10 others (L 259 2s 4d). The secured creditors were: L. D. Nathan and Co., on bill of said, (alleged to be invalid), Lsll 4s Gd for a debt'of L3OO ; David Nathan, L 1.200 for a debt of L 650 ; Winter and Lanigan, L4BO for a debt of L 450. The property valued at L 3.510 consisted of dwelling-house, etc., L 1.200 ; raw material, L 200; shares, LlO ; life assurance policies, LfiOO and L 1,500 respectively. Mr Winter (Winter and Lanignn) claimed that the security held by them was greatly over-estimated. , ' This was admitted by the debtor who said that the statement would have to be amended. , MrS. E. Hughes pointed out that the bankrupt's declaration had undergone amendment twice or thrice already. The affairs seemed to be in a very mixed state;, . and he■ suggested therefore that the creditorsshould appoint an accountant to go fully into the accounts with the bankrupt's solicitor. He did not think that Mr Hitchens should haVe filed at all, as ho believed he could pay all his creditors in full. The statement had been very care lessly prepared. Mr Greenway hotly retorted that Mr Hughes had no right to talk about careless ness in view of the careless preparation of his own bill of sale. He and L. D. Nathan and Co. had had a pretty good finger in the , pie of Mr Hitchens's estate, and it was they who had put him into his present position, j Mr Neumegen remarked that all this had nothing to do with the other creditors. Mr Greenway replied that the tendency of Mr Hughes's remarks had been to make out that Hitchens was a rogue and he (the solicitor) a fool. Ho just wanted to in dicato the real position of matters, . Mr Hughes denied that there wifs any bitterness of feeling on his part. Ho was willing to assist the debtor. ; ; ' ' ', ': ■ Air Green way- We shall believe as muclj :of thatas we please. ■We are not fools. | i Through the intervention of others peace • was restored, and eventually ia resolution i was passed adjourning the meeting till ■ Friday week. '"", • "•! Mr Brassey oxplained that ho wiis not re sponsible for the delay, as ho had not ye{. been instructed. : The Official Assignee had tho following statements to submit in reference to the -bankruptcy, but they were held over for the adjourned meeting Air Hitohens's Statement.

' Mr Hitchens submitted the following ' statement:—" On May loth, iSSI, his dwelling-house, stock, etc., in Wakefield street, were destroyed by fire, and ho lost everything. On May 16th, 18S1, Messrs Nathan made overtures for tho agency of his Blood Restorer, saying that they were better laid out than any othor house for such a commission, and could ship 100 cases : at once to London, and that where he could gel) ono case they could quit ten. He got 10a per case profit on his own sales, but in vie* of the prospect* held out, he afro f dto give L. D. Nathan and Co. thesole agency lor the world, and an agreement was signed on July 6th, 1881, on the basis of a commission of 7s per case to them. He had, however, to render assistance which he never con-j templated, such as travelling three months in the South, opening agencies, and push-! ' ing sales, without receiving any remunera tion. His mission resulted in a larger profit to L.D.N. and Co. They then wanted him to go on a similar mission td Sydney, but he declined unless ftnid. At the name time, mistakes in their favour were continually occurring in the accounts. He became dissatisfied, and on April 17th,; 1883, th« firm gave him notice of withdrawal .as hU agents. On May 2nd he notified them of hia intention to claim damages to theamonntof 1,1,000, andsuggesting arbitra-, tion. They declined, and the matter was} subsequently arranged. L. D. Nathan and; Co. had an account against him, and ho ; offered, to meet it with a supply of Blood Restorer, but they declined. Another offer was similarly refused. He was then told; -that their terms for arrangements were 10 per cent, on overdue accounts and 20 per cent, for selling; that they should be solo; agents for the sale of his preparations in this province, and he to pay all advertisings which meant 30 per cent, at tho least,. An agreement was eventually drawn: up on! ita«e terms by Hughes and Georgo, but bis : solicitor advised him not to sign it as it. •wouldruin him altogether. MrHughes, en UD N and Co.'s behalf, then .threatened, "him ■with a writ, saying, "We will put up ■your medicine for auction and sell for what. ■ever it will fetch, U only 5s a case, and then Iwhat will people say about your, medicine out of Auckland* It will simply ruin y6ur business, so you had' better come to terms." He replied that he had batter be sold out than continue' in, tha misery they had caused him for months' past He therefore told them to do their worst. The next day ho was seryed with ft bill for LlO3 with interest and costs, jrhidi: was followed by anofchor from the Auckland i Timber Company for Ll9. Upon the ad-; vice of. his eolieitor, he then reluctantlyi Glad, iis petition." ■ . .;■ ■ -■■■.<< . j

t d Nathan and Company's' State ment.: '

• From the end of 1879 to May, 1881. L. D. j Nathan1* Co. had been selling small quark titiea <5f H. 'A. Hitehens's BJood Restorer, dna' bri th« Friday or Saturday preceding tho< fire.' which destroyed the 'premigea in' Wakefield - street.' Thetr Mr Sriell: called upon and laid before him the nd*' vantage of securing their"firm as sole agents. At that time they knew .nqtlling&>f hia financial position. Mr Hitchens at onca agreed to devote his time to the mflliuf aeture; ofhia preparations while L. D/Wathan and Co. acted as suggested, tha price to be -charged being embodied in an agreement. Ha stated that his profit was large, aud|fchat in the future he might reduce -the prUp charaed L. D. Nathan »Bd Go. when their sales increased, L.D.N, »od Co. were! to bets all advertising charge*.. This was reduced to writing and signed. On the day following the fire, Mr Snell called on Mr Hitchens and found him in tears, ta manned by his troubles. ', Mr; SneU cheered fcim up, and told Mm he was not to give way. • that although his position as he stated was' bad. and his liabilities beyond the in surance, that be still' had^ friends. He ultimately took hira to Mx David Nathan, who agreed to advance money to reinstate him lo a well-furnjLshpd home, white L.D.N. and Co. imported to Ms order drugs and bottled so that he could carry ontneinterruptedmanpfacturs o£ Jiis remedies. >fr Kitchens expremad gratitude for the help extended to b|m wlHto fnn*ed, and L.D.N. and Co., advertised <md proceeded to carry out the coriduwns of the agWement, paying prompt ««>» ™*S*W for all be serifcin, and thereby accuijttujatjng * large stock in excess of the dsmaMd lothia preparatioiw.
