They are now receiving 10a of that amount and will receive the remaining 7s in September. It is believed that at least half of the creditors will accept these terms. It has been suggested that Sir Saul Samuel, Agent-General for New South Wales, should be appointed as Joint Commissioner for that colony at the forthcoming Colonial Exhibition. It "is considered unlikely that Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen will act on the London Committee.
