FAILURE TO KEEP BOOKS.
WELLINGTON, June 9. In bankruptcy proceedings against Charles Edward Donnelly, taxi proprietor, whose estate showed a deficiency of £317, with assets practically nil, tlie debtor was severely cross-examined as to his method of living and his failure to keep proper books. Ho admitted that ho went up to Auckland and ordered a suit costing £l6; also that he attended the Race Club ball here, and that he had made trips to Rotorua. He could not give any explanation as to not, keeping books, but said he saw his mistake now. The official assignee thought the only way to compel business people to keep books was to prosecute them, and a motion to that effect was passed by the creditors.
