Rb Johs Harve?.—Under examination by the Official Assignee, the bankrupt said :— "For some years prior to September last I was a master carpenter carrying on busi ness in Auckland. Since then I have been Ktinjf as foreman to Mr Jenkinson. My present trou bio began about two years ago throogh unprofitable contracts, and bad ipwUitions in gold-mining shares. Turing aelasHwoyearsl was in business lestimated my low on contracts at £213, andongold nintog stock at £87, altogether £300. This was about my tptal liability In September' last. It is now £257. lbs difference has been met out d ,oy weekly earnings between that time and the present. My creditors all understood my position, and knew that I was willing to continue putting by for ■ them all that I could spare from my earn ing! The principal creditors had expressed Heir willingness to wait. The only one that objected and insisted upon immediate piyment suod me for £20 odd. Judgment was given by default, and a bailiiF put in possession. Oh my .seeking the protection of ths Bankruptcy Court, this creditor with drew from possession, and the landlord then etepDedin, and. is now in possession. The Khedalo pat in discloses everything in the wipe of assets." Bb Thomas Heaiet.—This bankrupt was •1m BUmmed Jo-day. He said:—" I have been in the fruit and grocery trade on and Off for; about nine years. The present trouble began four years ago at the Thames. It arose through one of my creditors unduly pressing me in consequence of a disagree ment. He wanted to force upon me a large quantity of goods beyond what I deemed to ,&myrequirements. "His action- seriously injured my trade. I had several properties, tod, like many others at that time, sold out and speculated in gold-mining shares, and lost everything.

The Auckland Tobacco Company have pub lished a notice signed by the Manager, stating that Mr August vollbracht, formerly Working Manager of the New Zealand Tobacco Grow ing and Manufacturing Company, has no connection with their Company. This at present Is only intended to injure, as it is well known that T resigned connection with the Company on the Bth November last lam well known all over New Zealand as the father of the tobacco manufacturing industry, and have a manufacturing license issued over twenty years ago. before the Auckland Company s present manager knew anything about the busi ness. Why do the fanners appeal to me ? Eighty four farmers have applied to me for help, ss that the tobacco crop should sot be a failure. I will help them even if I do not get the to bacco, but still we will have suffloient Colonial Leaf Tobacco to show the public what can be done in New Zealand, I do not need to be afraid about the farmers. Thay know me too well, and the public of New Zealand at large. It would be better *o have fair play. Competition is the health of business. AUGUST VOLLBRAOHT, Managing Director of Vollbraoht's New Zealand Tobacco Growing, Curing, - and Manufacturing Company. T>E AUGUST VOLLBRACHT. In reply to August Vollbracht's assertion in his advertisement appearing in to-day's paper that ho has a Manufacturing License, I have made enquiry, and am informed by the authori ties that up till noon to-day they had NOT ISSUED a Manufacturing License to the above named person. The other assertions in the" ad vertisement referred to are on a par with the one quoted above, and can be easily reputed. AUSTIN WALSH, Manager Auokland Tobacco Company (Limited).
