The public examination <6i Harold Richard Peard, auctioneer and restaurant proprietor, was fixed for this morning in the Bankruptcy Court before Mr. Justice Salmond, but the debtor failed to answer to his name. Mr. Kennedy (for the Official Assignee) said Peard had given an-address in Auckland, but personal service could not bo effected, and though notice was sent by registered post it was not likely to have reached him in time for the present sitting. Peard had apparently come to Wellington prior to the posting of the notice. He suggested a fixture at a distant date. Mr. Goldsborough (one of the langest creditors) told the Court that he had reason to believe that Peard bad left New Zealand or was in hiding. Nothing had been seen of him for a considerable time, though exhaustive inquiries had been made. He suggested that an order be made to bring him before the Court as an absconding debtor. His Honor said he would consider that matter if it were put before him in Chambers, supported by affidavits, In the meantime he adjourned the case for a month. . .
