A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of J.A. EAKINS, chemist, was held in the Court-house yesterday, the Deputy Official Assignee presiding. Mr CRESSWELL appeared for the debtor. The statement of accounts showed debts amounting to £1106 2d, and assets set down at £871 9s 8d, the estimated defieiency being £234 12s 4d. Bankruptcy was attributed to losses in business, the immediate cause being pressure under summonses for rates........It was decided to close the shop occupied by debtor, and the meeting adjourned. Waipawa - Mr W.T. LIMBRICK, owner of the Imperial Hotel, sailed in the Valetta last week on his return journey from England. On Sunday as Dr. MIRBACH and Mr and Mrs B. B. JOHNSON were returning from Wanstgead with a buggy and pair they entered the Waipawa river at a place where a new approach had been made, and at once fell into a deep gut with a strong curent running close to the bank. The whole concern was awash (the occupants actually sitting in the water) and was carried down stream for a chain or two, when the horses touched bottom.......This morning the doctor and Mr B.B. JOHNSON are all right again, but I am sorry to say that Mrs JOHNSON is confined with a severe cold caused by the immersion in the snow water.
