M'Kay, £5 15s. Bankrupt examined, stated that he was a tailor carrying on business at Kaitangata since August last. Previous to that he had been in Dunedin for two years. He had only been on his own^account since December last. He was a married man with a wife and six children. He had no capital when he started. He was in debt when he left Dunedin, but he could not gay to what extent. He did not keep an account of his indebtedness to his creditors. The immediate cause of his filing was a judgment aummons obtained against him for money

lent so far back as 1882, by Mr Quinn. He was not doing sufficient business in Eaitangata to pay his way. He was working for wages at Timaru before he came to DunediD, and was getting from £2 10s to £3 per week. He was out of work for some time and got into debt to the extent of some £50. He was in Dunedin for about six months. He was not employed during the whole of that time, and got further into debt by the sum of £75. For three months at Eaitangata he was engaged for wages, getting £2 to £2 5s a week. The meeting then adjourned sine die.
