"A CURIOUS CASE"
TAILORING FIRM FAILS
A PARTNER CHARGED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHEISTCHUBCH, This Day. "Tl\is is a- curious case," said tha Official Assigneo when the creditors of tho bankrupt firm of Munro and Hickisbottom, of Christchurch, tailors, met to-day. "Munro," he added, "is under remand, Hiekiubottoni having alleged theft and failure to account for monoys against him. Under tho circumstances I thought thoir statements would probably be full of recriminations, so I did not insist on them. The police have the matter in hand,1 and it would, be manifestly unfair to bring up anything that might prejudice Munro." The partnership statement showed' th^t £2270 was owing, the deficiency being £.4094. Hickinbottoiu's private deficiency was' £148. ■ and Munro's £986.
