Bankrupt pair missing
The two shareholders of a bankrupt Christchurch building and land dealing company were not present at a meeting of their creditors yesterday. i I The deputv official assignee (Mr L. Anderson) said that neither of the principals could be located so there was no information on the activities of the company, incorporated in Christchurch on November 18, 1975. He added that the principals were believed to be in Australia. On a petition lodged by the main creditors, Ashby Bergh and Company, the winding up order of the company, Wilton and Jones Ltd, was made in the Supreme Court by Mr Justice Casey on Julv 2, 1976. A representative of Ashby Bergh told the meeting that Wilton and Jones had a debt of $388.66 on their trade account. Mr Anderson said that the company's file revealed that the two shareholders of Wilton and Jones Ltd were listed as Gary Rex Wilton and James Victor Jones, each with 250 shares.
The meeting was adjourned sine die. No committee of inspection was formed and the official assignee (Mr I. A. Hansen) will remain as liquidator.
