Mrs, Agnes Ward’s Bankruptcy
Sir, —I note that at the end of your report in this morning’s "Dominion” of the meeting of creditors held yesterday in the estate of Mrs. Agnes Ward you ascribe the following words to the official assignee: “I think in any case it may be my duty to bring the case before the Crown Solicitor.” These were not the exact words used by the official assignee. What the official assignee said was: “It is my duty in any case to bring the matter before the Crown Solicitor if I think the circumstances warrant it.”
You will see that the publication of your version of his statement is likely to give the impression that the official assignee did actually consider that the circumstances in this particular case did warrant his bringing the matter before the Crown Solicitor. This is definitely not the case, and I should be much obliged if you could publish a correction of your report in order to remove any misapprenhension in the minds of many people which might have been caused by your first report.—l nm. etc., G. R. POWLES. Solicitor for Mrs. Agnes Ward. Wellington, October 16.
