“NOT SATISFACTORY”
BANKRUPT CARPENTER’S FINANCES By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dannevirke, July 7. “This is the most unsatisfactory bankruptcy I have had to deal with in the past five years,” declared Mr. _A. J. C. Runciman, Deputy-Official Assignee, at a meeting of creditors of John Benjamin Manthan, a carpenter. Bankrupt’s debts totalled -EIO4B 17s. 10d., and there was an apparent deficiency of £BlB 12s. 4d. The Assignee said bankrupt had in about ten months accumulated debts of over £lOO6, which the creditors would agree was not satisfactory for a man in a small way of business. After close examination of bankrupt by the creditors, it was decided that bankrupt's affaire be plased before the Crown Solicitor. This is the second time within a fewweeks in which creditors in bankrupt estates have decided on this course of action. The other case was also that of a carpenter.
