Creditors Doubt Baronet’s Dealings
BANKRUPT CLIENT CLAIMS TO BE INVESTIGATED Press Association WELLINGTON, To-day. For three consecutive hours the Wellington solicitor, Sir Kenneth Douglas, was subject to a running fire of questions at an adjourned meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Leslie Johnsons, advertising agent, Upper Hutt. The subject of the cross-examina-tion was largely confined to the financial relations between bankrupt and witness in numerous business ventures. At the conclusion of the meeting the following resolution was carried: “That Sir Kenneth Douglas’s claims as creditor, whether secured or unsecured, be not admitted until solicitors for the Official Assignee have recommended their admission.” Sir Kenneth Douglas, complaining of the heckling nature of his cross-exam-ination, made the reservation that all his statements at the meeting were made subject to dpeumentary confirmation.
