A meeting was held yesterday of the credi-
tors of Mr. Joseph Hooper, leather merchant
and tanner, of Bermondsey, who failed on the
28th ult. The estate shows only about 3s. 4d.
in the pound. During the discussion which arose,
a creditor (a bill broker) referred in strong terms
to the extent of the accommodation bill system
pursued by some of the firms that have stopped.
A resolution was eventually adopted, appointing a
oomnuttee of three creditors, who are to investigate
the accounts', re-value the stock and bills, and re-
port to a future meeting. Mr. Hooper, however,
has already signed a declaration of insolvency, and
the impression appears to be that the estate will be
wound up in the Court of Bankruptcy.
