Th© D.O.A. presided and read the from the •Court- -te v .-ithe=, adjudication of the l)hnkru|itcy.' :; ■*-:■ The D.O.A. submitted the follbwing letter from Mr Gordon Lloyd, attorney for Greeiiaway : — , I haA-e your memo, enquiring re the omission of Mr J. J. Patterson's name .from the list of Gteenaway'screditors. I, of course, do not know what Mr Patterson's books snow, but as far as Greenaway's is concerned, Mr Patterson's claims were all dis.charged in Juno 1905, when liis mortgage was paid off. It may be that Mr Patterson disputes this, but T have no hesitation in saying that he ■ is not a creditor. In a further letter Mr Lloyd mentioned that Mr W. Henderson was not a creditor in the estate, but his brother, Mr M. Henderson', was a secured creditor, particulars of which will be supplied shortly. With' 'regard to Mr E. Pawsoii's claim for £20, he, (Mr Lloyd) says that Pavrson had better have notice to attend, as T he (Mr Lloyd) ■ was not surei as-to thevalidity of the claim. ■■■■■\> . The D.O.A. also read the ifollowing report on the estate: — As. the complete schedjiles iii connection witlitliis estate :l;iav,e>not yet. reached tho D.0.A., a. statpme.nt -.of affairs cannot bo laid before this meeting, and it will therefore be necessary to adjourn it xiht-ii -a 'later' date. Friday, '. llth, ijist-,, at the same hour would be convenient for Mr Lloyd, the attorney for the bankrupt^ who promises that the recfufsitc statements will then be in readiness, and also for Mr Hurley, solicitor for petitioning creditors. In respect to the claim by J. J. Patterson, referred to in the correspondence, the Official Assignee in his estate is proving for £743 '■ 12s Bd, which proof "Mi- Pat. terson has promised to support by a sworn affidavit. At the next meeting Mr Lloyd may bo able to afford some further information concerning^ this claim, which Mr Patterson on the. one hand asserts is owing -and' Mr Lloyd on the. other hand as positively asserts- was discharged in 1905. The estate having been in liquidation for some roars past, and two dividends having' boon paid, by the attorney, the books should be posted to diitf. and therefore no difficulty in furnishing llio D.O.A. with tlie requisite, details enabling' him to place ■vi intelligible statement of affairs before the -creditors. In any case this has been promised by the attorney in time to enable such a statement being prepared for next meeting. A discussion ensued on the initiation of Mr McKeever, a* to whether the- D.O.A. would have any j.urisdic^: tion over' assets out of the dominion, it being stated that there were pro-

perties in 'Sydney and,, America, .and the DICLA". promised" 'to' make' enquiries as to the legal position. Mr G. Wright then proposed that tfro meet-ing adjourn to that day Aveek at the same hour. — Carried.
