The bankrupt stated that he had been in business 'in Christchurch for fifteen years, four years of which he had been in his present premises. He had formerly been in partnership with Mr Minson, and the partnership had been dissolved by mutual consent. He had then started business on his own account, but at the outset had not been successful, and though his business improved he could not make up headway. He had been compelled to file because pressed by certain creditors. It was decided to allow the bankrupt fortyeight hours to see whether he could arrange for the making of a cash offer of 12s 6d iv the £ for the stock, and that in the event of no such offer being received tenders should be called for the stock-in-trade.
