BANKRUPTCY.

Meetings of Creditors

A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Dt& GMtjdb'erßj Se'Wliig ffltidWiiß importer, was held at the Official Assignee's office at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. There were present the debtor, his solicitor, and the following; .creditors : -Messrs, Swjnnerton, Dennßsj. Shelly, (DeVonporfc Dairy Co.); Thorne (for Murray and Spencer), Goodwin, Shera Bros, and Reid. The debtor's sworn statement was read,' as already ! published: In answer to Mr Swiiiririrfctinj the baiikftiiifc stated ; '* 1 never said to anyone that you were my partner: I, have not within the last six months said that I was doing a good business. Eighteen months ajfci A Syd ney creditor, after a visit to Auckland, expressed satisfaction with toy affairs:" The Assignee drew attention, tb the fact that the debitor had estimated the value , of his stock-in-trade > and fixtures at over l>7oo, but when. possession was taken it appeared evident to him that the outside value was nearer L7O, and this had been verified by the result of the auction sale yesterday. The debtol , had' also placed an unreasonable' vaitiS Oil trie' equity of his cottage at North Shore; In stead of realising some £120 there was ho doubt that it would not sell for fclie Jinib'urit due on mortgage ~ about £4tW-&nd tho second mort#dg&6 would willingly part with his interest for less than half tho sum advanced. The debtor had also valued his furniture at L4O. Mr Sibbin had re ported this to be qiiifco Up , to the' marl?: The book debts had been estimated to pro duce L2OO, but that remained to be proved.

Mr Swinnerton (tlio largest creditor) spoke strongly against the "deception fclio bankrupt had practised all through. ITo instanced a balance-sheet prepared by the debtor in June last, showing a surplus of £1.200 when he must have known that no was hopelessly insolvent; He had con tinued this deceptibii l-b tne very, last as shown by frl'.tt grossly exaggerated values put oil his assets. He considered that such men should not be allowed to slip through without a strong representation to the Court, and on that ground he .would not be a party to any resolution in his favour. Air Dennes said he was .engaged in the same line of business'; and the bankrupt hod. cotu'd to him a fortnight.before he filed, offering.the whole of his stock, goodwilland book debts for £270, but he did not believe they were worth the money.

The bankrupt admitted that this was true, and he had been prepared to accept anything he could get in order to satisfy pressing creditors and avoid bankruptcy. The general feeling of tho. 1 '), present w.if! that the debtor's .conduce Was blameable in not filing Ids schedule long ago. After some general discussion it was resolved, on the motion of Mr , bwinnerton, seconded by Mr Goodwin, "That the book debts be offered by public tenders returnable at noon on the 9th of May, also that the meet ing be adjourned until 230 p.mi on that day." . It was also agreed to allow tho Bankrupt to retain the surplus furniture on payment of L 710 into the estate. This was agreed to,and the meet ing separated.

Samuel Upton Griffen, a bankrupt, under examination to-day, deposed that he had been in business as an en graver and stencil cutter since 1883. He started without capital, and got tils tools by degrees for cash Or.oil tit-edit; HS was getting oil fairly until a fire, which originated in a neighbour's, destroyed part of his workshop and dwelling. As he was not insured, he could riot state the amount of his loss.. ..Jn,,Mafc.lSß4.lie took his present pveirifees in Wellington street, when a friend lent him a plant, value L3OO, payable in instalments. In February, 1885, owing to depression, ho borrowed LSO by a bill of sale over tools find plant, then worth L2OO. Theimmediatecause of filing was pressure from hta landlord. His unsecured dobbs amounted to £362 19s 4d, and assets as follows : — Stock, £■"6 16s, book debts £G0 10s estimated to produce £40 claim under mortnwo LlOO,furniture Lls, total Ll9O 16s. In ad dition to this be estimated there was a surplus of L 250 over the lien on plant and Ll'2s over the mortgage total estimated assets L 565 10s credit surplus L 202 lGs 3d.

A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Robert Jenkinsen, contractor, was held at 11 o'clock to-day in the Official Assignee's office. Messrs Holland, Fairvveathor, Prime, Caiiham, and Stitt were in attendance. The ■' As signee explained that the meeting had been called.for the purpose of deciding what should be done with the Lome Street property, which was becoming quite a white elephant. He had been unable to disposo of it for a sum exceed ing the mortgage, £1,575, and had hitherto been nursing it, as he had every reason to believe that the property was good value for £2,000. Meanwhile he had ah'cady paid £60 for interest, and another £30 was now due, so that the balance in hand was fast being reduced. He therefore wished the creditors to decide upon some definite course of action.' Altogether £333 10s 10d, including book debts £2S 4s 9d, not yet got in. Beyond that there was nothing excopt the property previously referred to in Lome Street. The property bad been three times offered at auction, but £1,100 was the highest bid received. The creditors present ex pressed the opinion that they had better not expend any more money on the pro perty, but let the mortgagee foreclose, As the two largest I credjto'rs,*Krossfs T. Mdrrin, and Co. arid Mcssra. Porter and Co. were notTeprescnte'd, their "opinion upon the matter was obtained through j;he telephone. The former were oPo'pihion thatjt w'6uld pay to ■ hold on to the , -property, while the Latter thought that enough had already been spent upon it After a little discussion it was re?olved upon the motion /of Mr Holland, seconded by Mr. W. L. Prime, that this meeting consider that owing to the in- , ability of the Assignee to dispose of the property in Howe-street at a price above the mortgage, that it is inadvisable to pay on now on account of , tho said property from the. funds of the estate. ''

John James Kelly (a bankrupt) was ex amined on oath by the Official Assignee yesterday. He stated that he had been a coach proprietor in the Tauranga and Lake district for several years, and he had come to grief in 1831, and all he had was sold, and everyone paid in full. He then worked for a couple of years on the goldficlds, and sub sequently on small road contracts., On the Isb.tfanuary, he took the , contract to carry the mails between Tauranga and Pae roa, at a subsidy..-of L 350 v a year. He then got into difficulties and at length had to file. He saw no prospect of doing anything towards paying off his debts.;,'; 3jj

Colonel Brett, in moving tho Addrcss-ih- Reply in the Council, was dressed in full regimental?, in honour of tho Queen's Jubi lee. ;.He is the oldest military officer in tho ,eolDtl}>) hdviilg" StirVfcHl ti'J */CHi-e jtgdi '■ ■ Mr] Oliver will follow criticising the '.Governor's Speech, Tlie Keprcseiitntion Bill. The generally acceple'd explanation of the apparent " fizzle" over the sficbnd reading of the Representation Bill is this: — Members recognised that suffi cient time had not been given them to closely study the measure and tho census tables showing population to area just pre viously circulated, and therefore decided not to address themselves to the bill on tho second reading. Whon the hiotloii for. cdnitiiittal U Called on Tuesday, there" is slife to. be a long and acrimonious debate, and the 1 , salient features of tho measnro will then be threshed out in Committee.

If the Premier insists on only allowing the average ratio provided in the Represen tation Bill in favour of country electorates the measure will almost certainly bo de feated. There is a pretty unanimous feel ing that the present proportion in favour of country seats over town?, viz., 20 per cent., must be maintained instead of an allowance) merely in favour of scarcely populated districts. Under the proposed Bill

seven seats will be taken from that country, and will bo tacked on to towns such as Gaversham and Roslyn. Par- 1 nell and Sydenham might rank as towns instead of as country electorates as at ■= present, but otherwise a distinc tion between, town and country will be insisted on. The feeling of Major /Ukinson and the majority of those who work with him i? not to debate the bill on ;the; motion for committal, but to get into Cdinm'lfc'te'e , ftl rapidly as possible, and there determine ita salient feature?; ■'
