THIRD BANKRUPTCY
A CARPENTER'S AFFAIRS [from our ow.v correspondent] ; HAMILTON, Monday Admitting to a meeting of creditors to-dav that he had been bankrupt three times since 3927, Thomas Edward Waters, a carpenter, of Hamilton, stated that his liabilities totalled £3OO and that he had no assets. He said he was working at the Pnpakura camp as a carpenter and was receiving 38s a day. Waters said he had 11 children, four of whom were dependent on him. One man for whom he had built a house owed him £57 and ho was unable to collect this amount. He could make no offer to his creditors. He had received his discharge from his Hamilton bankruptcy, but did not know what the position was with respect to his Auckland failure. A motion was proposed recommending that bankrupt's discharge be facilitated, but one creditor, with the largest debt, opposed, and the motion was lost.
