BANKRUPT CHINAMAN
BAD SEASON FOR CABBAGE CAN PAY NOTHING Probably Lum Hoy is the exception that proves the rule. Although the Chinese are reputedly good market gardeners, Lum Hoy, who traded as Wer On, market gardener, Mount Roskill, was not very successful, the total result of his operations covering th<e past four years being debts to unsecured creditors of £587 13s, and assets nil. Explaining his position to the official assignee, Mr. Or. N. Morris, yesterday morning, Lum Hoy said that the past season had proved a bad one for growing purposes. This, together with the low prices obtained, accounted in a large measure for his failure. At the present time he was in employment and receiving £3 a w'eek, but did not think he could pay anything. Mr. Morris said he was not at all satisfied with some of bankrupt’s transactions, and intended having an inspection made of certain tools and implements. This course was agreed to by the sole creditor present.
