Wilson, formerly of Dunedin, but now of Wellington, be impounded and made available to the police was made by Mr. Justice Smith. During the hearing, it was alleged by Mrs. Nellie Ada Brown, the petitioner, that a. document of compromise produced by the debtor was a forgery, the signature, being an exact tracing of a signature made six years earlier in giving the debtor a testimonial. In allowing the withdrawal of the petition, the debtor having paid the amount, his Honor said that the agreements put forward by the debtor were attacked as forgeries, and on the evidence he had come to the conclusion that the onus had shifted to the debtor, onus he had not. discharged.
