BANKRUPTCY.

ROBERT MEAL'S INSOLVENCY.

Under examination by the Official As signee to day, Robert, Neal, grocer, made the following statement;: --I commenced business in Queen street., Auckland, as a grocer in Dec-ember, 1070, with a capital of £700 and a partner with £400 (Ibis partner ship wa-r dinsolved in 18751). In the year 1877 I sold property in England which real ised £1,2R7 : this went, into tbe business In 18R2 I sold property at, Epsom, hho proceeds being f.HM, and this money also went into the business. Tn the year 1883, Mr h\ Rowe. who had previously beon in my ser vice, came back to me, putting into the business tho sum of £200 with the under standing that be should have interest for tho money invested, and a small share of the neb profits in addition to a salary. It was a mere verbal arrangement. He has had interest bi.it no share of profit, and tho principal, less a contra account for groceriee. &<?.. still remains in the business. From tho commencement, business has been carried cm with variable success. Tn June, U18!\ my year* balance sheet showed that I was in a solvenb position, and that after allowing for bad and doubtful debts and liabilities (the latter including about £900 of bor rowed money) and interest, there remained a credit balance of £900 to the good. At stocktaking, &c.,on July 7tb,1886, T-found a deficiency of £4(l,having during the year lost all my capital. My brother John then lent me t'^oo, nnrl afterwards sent me a cliequo for iJiOO. and in October of that year I pub iv £320 more by the sale ot properly and legacy. My losses have taken place riming the last two years, and are clue to the extreme competition in trade, large bad debts, ex penses in moving to Wellesleystreeb and loss occasioned thereby. There was also a considcmblo loss occasioned by tbo con duct and sale of the branch shop at Arch Hill. (Statement of losses put in). I was in hopes of retrieving my position, by reducing expenses nnd economising generally, and was under tbo impression that my affairs were improving, but on stock being taken in August last I found that my deficiency was f 1,208, the valuations being based on cost prices. No doubt, if forced, the*e values would not be realised, and the re sult would be a much larger deficiency. On consulting my brother (,I. W. Neal, of Napier) and the manager of my bank, 1 was advised to call a meeting of my credi tors. That meeting took place on the 7th inst., and a statement of my assets and liabilities submitted ; and an offer mado on my behalf of a composition of 9s in the £ by P.N 'sab 2, fl, and 9 months. A resolution was carried appointing certain creditors to in vestigrtte my affairs and report bo an ad journed meeting. On tbe 9th the adjourned meeting was bold, when 25 of my 44 credi tors attended. The inspectors appointed — Messrs Carr and Phillips— reported that, my offer of 9s was a fair one,, upon which a re solution -vVas adopfH that my offer be ac cepted : the bank's and my brother's claims, nmomiting to £2,585 15c* 6c], to await their dividend until al' the other creditors had been paid. Messrs Hermann Brown and 11. A. Can* to be inspecto'-s under the deed of composition. Subsequent, to tho meeting, one of the creditors, who had nob been represented there, refused to accept the composition. After exhausting every means to bring about an amicable arrange ment, I was advised by my solicitors to de clare myself a bankrupt on the 21st inst. This action has been the means of depre ciating the business, and I am nob now prepared to make the same offer. My books have been properly kept all through and are at the present time closely posted up. The whole of my labilities amounting to £9,122 9s sd, except Bank's claim of £1,719 17s 6d, are unsecured. The assebsareesbimatedas follows: Sbock in brade at the Wellesley-street and Karangahape Road shops £2,500: book debts, £1,137 19s 7d ; fixtures, etc., and horses and carts £33S ; sundry shares £1610s ; and freehold, land £70 • T0ta1,£4,062 9s 7d. Deficiency, £5,059 19s lOd. The household furniture has belonged to my wife for twelve years. To the best of my belief I have disclosed everything I possess. 1 have put inbo bhe business altogether £2,071 of my own money, and £700 belonging to my wife's trustees.

Prior to the opening of the Court after the adjournment for lunch today His Honor said that as he heard that the trial of Alexander Campbell, for perjury, was likely to last two days, he questioned whether ib would be advisable to commence the case to-morrow morning, as there was the objection to locking up the jury oyer Sunday if it could be avoided it was therefore decided to postpone bhe case againsb Campbell until Monday, and to take argument in Aickin's case ab eleven to-morrow. The jury called for to-morrow will therefore be relieved from attendance.

Mr Moss's Committee meet specially to morrow (Saturday) evening as per advertise menb. A very good suggestion for bhe safety of public places of amusement, and one easily carried out, has been made by the Welling Ciby Engineer. At the Council meeting lasb nighb a memo was read from him, suggesting that the Inspector of Police should be asked to instruct the constables on duty in bhe vicinity of theatres and other places of amusement, to inspect the same every nighb during a performance, in order bo see bhab the main doors, escape doors, and passages are kept open, and ready for immediate use in case of any panic arising.

[advbrttskmknt.] (To the Editor.) Sir,—ln a leader in the Star last, evening in reference to Mr Vaile's candidature tor City North, the remarkable statement is made in effect that tho candidate's railway scheme is of no importance to the people. Can any sane disinterested man conceive where such an idea get j birth ? In a very weak-kneed manner bhe reason given is that population is not sufficiently numerous. Tin's statement bears on the face of it a considerable de ficiency in knowledge on the question. Tiie population is less likely to make use of the railways as they are than if Vaile's scheme were given a trial, and nearly every candidate for Parliamentary honours has agreed that this should be done. Wo have daily instances of horse power successfully competing with our railway freights, ajid it is idle to attempt to urge that they should regain in their present un satisfactory and unworkable condition, even while the Government's traffic maiia ger goes to Europe at the public expense to obtain information which is at our hands. Indeed, were it nob for colonial water carnage, the people might with advantage send to England ot Scotland even lor potatoes. The rich lands of the North Island, of which we read ai.d ft ear so much, will never be settled satisfactorily while the now existent difficulty in getting thoir produce is allowed to remain, i would ask t l c editor where was bom the brilliant inspiration that Mr V.ule will have a*'much power out of Parliament as he would in i it. ? The idea, if such a name cap be given to the thing, is simply puerile, if not dis ingenuous. Surely '.he scribe has i ken a leaf out. of Mr Osborne's book in hugging the delusion that he is trying to convince a lot of new chums to forsake their own in terests. -I am, &c, Edward Downing.
