When it was suggested during a meeting of creditors at Dunedin k.st week that the bankrupt’s children, who were in work, should assist him, the official assignee said that they no doubt should do so, but there was no law compelling children to assist their bankrupt parents.

He was in a. position to drive about the town and scoff at his creditors, but it was finite impossible to get any money from him.
