BANKRUPT SALESMAN'S AFFAIRS

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, Wednesday,

"The position is most unsatisfactory, and I don't think bankrupt has played the game," declared a creditor at the meeting held to-day to inquire into the affairs of Frederick James Tremain, a bankrupt salesman, of Hamilton. Bankrupt's debts total £192, of which £41 is owed to secured creditors. His nominal deficiency is £108. In a statement he said he had been share-milking nearly all his life. He attributed his failure to the poor condition of his stock when the last share-milking contract expired. One creditor complained that bankrupt had taken unfair advantage of a booking clerk by getting credit on a promise to pay, which was not fulfilled. The Assignee said it was not at all clear what happened to all the moneys bankrupt had received. He could not give a straight answer to any question pnt to him. The Assignee intimated that he would oppose any discharge until bankrupt made some offer. The meeting was adjourned.
