We, tie undersigned merchants of
honolulu, respectfully beg to petit
tion your Honorable Court in the
matter OF the application of w. II.
aiaricn, that he be not adjudged q
voluntary bankrupt, and, in support
Vi our petition, beg to set forth the
1olioWlng reasons and facts in con-
nection Herewith
First That the said w. III. Aldrich
has once before taken advantage of
the bankruptcy law of this kingdom,
to wit N the year 1856, to the loss
and detriment of the creditors.
Second That Ia credit which he
mas since Obtain Il of very re-
cent date, and UNI ,5ecific pro-
misses to pay as soon as the large in
heritance to which he fell heir, on
the demise of his late father, became
available. That such credit would
not have been extended by your petit
TONERS to the said w. I'll. Aldrich,
were his promises not made, and
accepted in good faith by your petit
TONERS, in the full and confident
knowledge that his prospective in
come warranted such credit.
Third Your petitioners, in further
support of their position, beg to
annex for your perusal a letter ad-
dressed to one of the undersigned by
A. A. Smith, the trustee of the estate
of w. A. Aldrich, the father of the
petitioner in bankruptcy, w. II.
Aldrich, wherein it is stated that he
would be In position to pay all of
his just debts.
Fourth: Your petitioners have rea-
son to believe, from reliable sources
of information, that the said w. II.
Aldrich will come into the enjoyment
of the first instalment of his interest
in an estate probated at San Fran
cisco, Cal, of one million dollars,
divided equally between the four
children, the sole divisees of the late
w. A. Aldrich, somewhere in or dur
ing the month of February, 1898.
Fifth and lastly: Your petitioners,
having full confidence in the wisdom
and equity of your honorable Court,
appeal against the law in bank
ruptcy of this Kingdom being avail
able to private individuals, as the
channel whereby such persons can
by fraud manifestly premeditated
distress the mercantile portion of
our community.
For relief from which and protec-
ton against, your petitioners contin-
ually pray.
