Meeting of Creditors: Re: Anson Edwin Martin (trading as Morris and Co.) of 136 Broad Street, Birmingham, chemist, and druggist. A first meeting of creditors was held yesterday at offices of Messrs, Hawkes and Weekes, solicitors, Birmingham: – The statement of affairs, read by Mr. J. M. Garland, the receiver, showed liabilities £688 17s 11d and assets £192 10s. Mr. Pinsent, solicitor, and Mr. Leacher (Wing, Wing, and Co.), of London, and Mr. W. H. Brothers, accountant, represented creditors — Mr. Baker, on behalf of debtor, explained that a difficulty arose with regard to Mr. Pinsent’s client, who claimed to be secured, and, therefore, the debtor was not in a position to make offer to the creditors. — After long discussion it was proposed that the meeting should be adjourned for a fortnight to enable the receiver to dispose of the business, if possible, that the debtor might be in a position to make an offer, which the creditors agreed.
