The written statement of bankrupt was to the effect that he was adjudicated bankrupt on the petition of his creditors. He had no desire to go bankrupt, and considered that the estate would more than pay his debts.

The secured creditors are -Public Trust, Wellington, amount of debt, £700; estimated value of security, £750. In his cross examination by the D.0.A., bankrupt stated that he commenced business on July Bth, 1908. The business did not pay after the first six months. He kept no books, with the exception of a rough book, which did not show his daily takings. It was eventually decided to realise on the plant of cabs, brake and harness, and to see what could be done with bankrupt's interest in his mother's estate.
