RETURN OF MONEY
APPLICATION FAILS By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, December 18. Mr Justice Johnston gave reserved judgment to-day in the case in which the Official Assignee, as liquidator of Dodge Brothers, Limited, builders and coal merchants, sought a motion directing Frank Henry Albert Dodge and Corrie Redvers Dodge, to pay him sums totalling £6Ol, of which £3BO had allegedly been taken with intent to defraud the creditors, and the remainder incurred as debts, when the company was insolvent. After traversing the evidence, the Judge said the case put forward in support of the motion had not been made out, and must be dismissed. The Judge added that he did not think Dodge Bros., in their struggle in a sea of difficulties, knowingly set out to defraud the creditors, or knowingly incurred liabilities which they knew could not be paid.
