In. Re: the Millers’ and General Fire Insurance Company: In the Chancery Division, on Saturday, a petition was presented for winding up this company by the Worcester City and Country Bank, who were creditors of the company for £6,000. Mr. Beale appeared in support of the petition. Mr. Marten, Q.C., and Mr. Pinsent, for the company, said an arrangement had been entered into for the sale of the business of this company to the London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Company, and for that purpose it was proposed that there should be a voluntary winding up. The Vice Chancellor considered that it would be more beneficial for the company that there should be a voluntary winding up under the supervision of the court, and an order was made to that effect.
