It had been thought that Higgins was still in New Zealand, but it was now ascertained that he was in Ilobart under surveillance. His Honour made an order of adjudication, remarking that when a man had left his business or home without communicating with or providing for his creditors I that was a case above all others where. there should be prompt ad judication., The petition would be heard immediately, and the petitioning creditors would not be required to attend.
