LIQUIDATION OF TH. BRIDTORT OLD BRZWIMY
QUILIPADY. —A 'anemone to appoint an official liquid.
ator of the Marion Old Brewery Company cams
helms Mr. K B. Church, in Lord Romillv'schambere
last week. Mr. Cooper proposed Mr. J. Williams,
of Bridport, and read an affidavit from Mr. Joseph
Oundry, settmg forth the businees eapecity and
honourable character of Mr. Williams ; also affidavits
from Mr. I'. Mitchell, mr., and Mr. K. D. Hodgson,
r., in his favour. —Mr. Lewis proposed Mr.
Price. —The Chief Clerk said he was very much
impreseed with the fact of Mr. Williams living at
a distance from the plain where there wee the
principal Minnow to transact, and suggested an
aireagemset for a joint liquidator or otherwise'
After a day's consideration, however, this could not
be arrived at, and Mr. Chnroh then said: 11 appears
to me there are objections to the appointment of Mr.
Williams. He lives at Bridport, and he is not an
independent man, complete master of his own time.
I have no doubt he ia otherwise& perfectly fit person;
but under these oirounastanoaa, I have no alternative
but to appoint Mr. Prim. —Mr. Cooper said be
should appeal against the decision to the judge.
