BANKRUPT SOLICITOR
OBTAINS DISCHARGE
CONDITIONAL ORDER MADE
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day
In the Supreme Court yesterday, an application for an order for his discharge from Bantyuptcy was made by Herbert Kirk McDougall, a solicitor.
Bankrupt appeared in person and detailed the manner of his financial
failure. His Honour -Mr Justice Adams remarked that it was unfortunate that a solicitor of the Court should have been concerned in racing matters, which ultimately brought him into the ’ position which the documents revealed.
Bankrupt: “It was a breeding farm at first. I bought two racehorses later on, in order to give a man a start in life.” His Honour: “But you put your finger in the fire.’' The order was made, conditional on debtor consenting to judgment for £250. —Press Assn.
