Debtor's Examination. Henry Dryland, coachsmith, was examined yesterday by the Official Assignee. He said that Mr. Leech, the present proprietor of the Alexandra Hotel, joined him in partnership in June 1885. At that time he was making a fair business, and his partner proposed putting in £600 as a fair equivalent for the tools and practical experience. There was a written agreement. They began by building a new shop, and at the end of 18 weeks Leech left him and took the hotel. The venture was a complete failure. Although Leech proposed to put in £600, he really only laid out £66 on the workshop, which he claimed as his own. During the sixteen weeks witness' drawings were £37, and Leech's £20. The debts owing amounted to £47, of which witness had since paid his share. He admitted a debt of £9 to Leech at the time they separated in September last. The debts now shown on his schedule, £86 8s 7d, were incurred partly before and partly since his connection with Leech. Since September he had carried on business on his own account, but the earnings had been insufficient to pay his way. He had a wife and five young children. His assets were Book debts, £25; furniture, £20; equity of property, £20.
A meeting of creditors in the estate of Henry Dryland was also held yesterday. His sworn statement published above was read, and after some discussion it was agreed that the creditors, although not perfectly satisfied with the debtor’s conduct, had no desire to prevent him obtaining is discharge.[6]
