PARTNER DISAPPEARS
CONFECTIONER LEFT TO PAY DEBTS A CABARET VENTURE {From Our Own Correspondent) . NEW PLYMOUTH, Today. Persuaded by a customer to enter into partnership with him and to hold cabaret dances in New Plymouth, William Frederick Nightingale, a confectioner, was forced to file in bankruptcy when the partner disappeared, leaving behind debts on the cabaret venture totalling £ 360. This was the story told by Nightingale to a meeting of his creditors yesterday, presided over by the deputyofficial assignee, Mr. J. S. S. Medley. He explained that no deed of partnership had been signed, nor had he received any share of the profits. A hall had been rented and the venture had been fairly popular for about three months. Tlis name was used when necessary. The partner suddenly left town and had not been heard of since. Debts on behalf of the cabaret had then been disclosed amounting to £360 and since the confectionery business was not prospering he had been forced to file. There was a total deficiency of £498 with assets of only £SO, being book debts. The meeting was adjourned to give Nightingale time to make further efforts to find the missing partner.
