WITH reference to Statements made by us with reference to the Financial Position of Messrs Peacock and Qeaney, of Timaru, butchers, we, the under* signed, hereby declare that on making proper enquiries we find the above statements were false and without any foundation whatever. JAMES HENDERSON. J.F. SIMMONS. J.OGILVIE. Witness— William Tosswill, Solicitor, Timaru. FURTHER EXPLANATION. The Statements referred to in the above were:—" That we had held a meeting of our Creditors,” but how such statements could be circulated, we cannot conceive, excepting that a meeting of Messrs Townson and Pender’s creditors was held at our office on Monday last, and through some misconception on the part of the “Vigilant” gentlemen whose names appear in the foregoing advertisement, it was circulated that the meeting was " ours.” PEACOCK & GBANBY.
