BANKRUPT DRIVER ADMITS PERJURY
DEBT REPUDIATED COUNSEL’S ACCUSATION “I have caught you in a lie!” This dramatic accusation was levelled at Frank Blackmore, a bankrupt motor-driver of Edendale, by Mr. A. Wilkin, counsel for the sole creditor, during his crossexamination of Blackmore at the office of the Official Assignee, Mr. G. N. Morris, this morning. The creditor claimed a sum of £264 from bankrupt, being principal and interest on £2OO alleged to have been lent to Blackmore about four years ago. Requested by the official assignee some days ago to furnish a statement of his assets and liabilities, bankrupt returned the form marked “nil” on both the liabilities and assets side. He made a written statement disclaiming all responsibility for the £264 claimed. This he swore on oath was true in every particular. BANKRUPT’S SWORN STATEMENT
