Town, as the “ Camden Chemical Company.” Retail shops 
were subsequently opened at 88 Queen Street, Cheapside, 
and at 38 Aldeisgate Street, where the trading was con- 
ducted under the style of the Hygienic Co-operative Stores.” 
When joining the business witness had no knowledge what- 
ever of the chemistry trade, and he accordingly relied upon 
the experience of Mr. Cox, who managed the business. 
As capital he (debtor) borrowed 2502. upon his pension, and 
put the money into the business. The trading was hardly 
successful, as, although a profit was made on all sales, the 
business was hampered by the lock-up of the capital in over- 
purchases of stock. The partnership only lasted a short time, 
as witness, being dissatisfied with his partner, instituted 
Chancery prcceedings to obtain a dissolution. Eventually 
an arrangement was made whereunder witness paid out his 
partner with 752. cash and a 252. bill, and continued the 
business alone. In July last he called the creditors together 
and offered them a composition of Is. 6^2, in the pound. 
That offer was accepted by most of the creditors ; but before 
it could be carried out an execution was levied by a dissen- 
tient creditor, and witness thereupon filed his petition. In 
February, 1895, he borrowed 4502. on the security of his 
pension and two life-policies, and was charged about 2002. 
for expenses, law- costs, and commission in connection with 
that loan. Three months later he deposited six casks of 
vaseline with Mr. Haworth, who advanced him money to 
enable him to defend an action. That vaseline was purchased 
on credit from Messrs. Grindley & Co. It had not been paid 
for, and no step was taken to obtain that firm’s consent to 
the pledging of the goods, as witness regarded it as only a 
temporary arrangement, and expected to redeem the vase- 
line within a very short time of depositing it. The books of 
the business had not been properly posted up for some time. 
It was not until last April that witness ascertained his in- 
ability to pay all his debts in full. This was his first failure, 
and the creditors had accepted an offer of 7s. 6^2. in the 
pound. 
The examination was ordered to be concluded.

A STATEMENT of affairs respecting the realisation of the 
estate of this debtor has been issued by the Official Receiver 
of Cambridge Bankruptcy Court, witn an intimation that 
the assets realised sufficient to pay a first and final dividend 
of Is. 9«2. in the pound.

Under a petition presented by this debtor last Wednes- 
day, a receiving order and an order of adjudication have been 
made at the London Bankiuptcy Court. The debtor esti- 
mates his liabilities at 3002 , and has household furniture to 
the value of 252. A life-policy is deposited with the Royal 
Office as security for money advanced eleven years ago.

A RECEIVING order bas been made at the London Bank- 
ruptcy Court against this debtor, described as Charles 
Montague, otherwise Napoleon Hirsohfeld, otherwise Charles 
Ashley, p^itent-raedicine proprietor and specialist in cures of 
rheumatism, now or lately carrying on business as above, 
and at 45 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, The order was 
made on a petition presented by Messrs. Church, Rondell, 
Todd & Co., acting on behalf of creditors. It appears that 
the average takings are 52. weekly, and that book-debts to 
the amount of 3002. or 4002. are due to the estate, but they 
are of doubtful value. The amount of the liabilities did nob 
transpire. 
Iheeb are 1,180 000.000 granules in 1 gramme of starch — 
estimated by counting with a baemacyclometer by Professor 
Day, of the Chicago College of Pharmacy. — M. B. Druggists
