The hearing in the matter of Kramrisch & Co., India-rubber 

 merchants, before the Liverpool court of bankruptcy, referred to 

 in the last India Rubber World, was continued subsequently 

 on April 28 and May 6, and again adjourned to May 28. The 

 proceedings thus far have made public very little information 

 regarding the state of the accounts of the bankrupt firm. On 

 May 5 Solomon Kramrisch was placed under arrest on a charge 

 of converting to his own use certain rubber belonging to Klein- 

 wort & Co., bankers, and admitted to bail in the sum of £2000. 



— — The failure of Kramrisch & Co. has involved in litigation 

 several of their customers. The Dunlop Rubber Co. bought 

 rubber from the firm, advances upon which had been made by 

 Brandt & Co., bankers, with the understanding that payment 

 for the rubber when sold should be made to the latter. Through 

 an oversight, the Dunlop company made a deposit to cover the 

 rubber with Messrs. Kramrisch's regular bankers, Kleinwort & 

 Co., and supposed the matter settled. After the failure of the 

 Kramrisch firm, Brandt & Co. brought suit against the Dun- 

 lop Rubber Co. for £3263 145. and recovered. The Continental 

 Caoutchouc- und Guttapercha-Compagnie bought rubber from 

 Kramrisch, for which they paid the latter's bankers (Kleinwort 

 & Co.), including /1480 more than the debt, through an error. 

 The bankers placed the whole amount to Kramrisch's credit, 

 whereupon the Continental company brought suit against them 

 for the ^1480, resulting in a judgment for the plaintiff. F. 

 Reddaway & Co., Limited, were proceeded against by the bank- 

 ers Kleinwort, in a matter complicated by the failure of Kram- 

 risch, from whom they had bought rubber, a judgment being 

 given to the plaintiffs for ,£731.
