BANKRUPT CHINAMAN.
PAMIERSTON FIRM'S ACTION QUESTIONED.
By Telegraph. —Press Association. Feilding,. Tuesday. A bankrupt Chinaman, Ah Wall (trading as Sing Lum Kee), stated before the Deputy Official Assignee at Feilding today that lie carried on a profitable business as a fruiterer at Feilding for four years. As his wife became ill he took her home, leaving his cousin in charge of his business. During his absence the Palmerston firm in question entered and took possession of all his stock, including even the money in the till. Prior to leaving he had told the firm's representative that he would be absent for a time owing to his wife's illness, that the cousin would be in charge, and that he (the debtor) would square up on his return. He attributed his bankruptcy to the action of the Palmerston firm. On the motion of Mr. Elliott (Tlawke's Bay Fruitgrowing Company), it was resolved that the Deputy Official Assignee consult the Crown Prosecutor as to whether an action would lie against the Palmerston firm in respect to the seizure and conversion of the goods, also for a statement of accounts.
It was further agreed that the debtor be recommended for immediate discharge.
