ASSETS IN PEAS
At a meeting of creditors yesterday, a bankrupt said his only assets were two sacks and a half of pigeon peas and a fishing rod, worth $6 in all. Murray Eri Hardaker, aged 30, unemployed, of Finlay Place, admitted liabilities amounting to $646, and a deficit of $640.
He said the debts involved in his bankruptcy were incurred while he leased a cafe in Manchester Street for 15 months until May, 1970. He said the failure of the cafe venture and lack of business experience were the reasons for his bankruptcy. The Deputy Official Assignee (Mr L. Anderson) closed the meeting.
