COMPANY'S STRUGGLE.
COURT DISMISSES CLAIM. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. Reserved judgment was given by Mr. Justice Johnston to-day in a case in which the Official Assignee, as liquidator of Dodge Brothers, Ltd., builders and coal merchants, sought a motion directing Frank Henry Albert Dodge and Corrie Redvers Dodge, two directors of the company, to pay him sums totalling £601, of which £380 allegedly had been taken with an intent to defraud creditors, and the remainder incurred as debts when the, company was insolvent.
After traversing the evidence, the judge said the case put forward in support of the motion had not been made out and must be dismissed. Tho judge added that he did not think Dodge Brothers in a struggle in a sea of difficulties knowingly set out to defraud creditors, or knowingly incurred liabilities which they knew could not bo paid.
