Ho kept a banking. account, 1 and tho payments were mado either by cheque; or With bills. Within, six monthstrouir the time of joining the linn a loss of : about LIOOO was incurred: with bad debts, among which were Thompson "and Mitchell, "contractors for the erection of Cellar and Holes' store, L 350; liiythand Co about L 300; and Adams, contractor for- the-Bank of A ustralaaia, L 212, Owing to the firm sustaining these losses, Fogden did hot press the bankvupt for the LOO balance. About eight or nine months ago Fogden was in Masterton and reinindod him of the amount owing, the outcome, of which was the bailment handed- over to; him' as security for tho amount. The, articles were a'd enumerated on the bailment note, and had been paid for before being made over to Fogden. Besides the Rotorua claim, tho whole of the debts,had been contracted, within the past three months, JS. W, Mills' claim was partly for ironmonVery use'd for the.
