Winding up of a Fire Insurance Company: On Saturday, in the Chancery Division, before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Bacon, the case of the Millers’ and General Fire Insurance Company was heard A petition was presented for winding up the company by the Worcester City and County Bank who were creditors to 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.
