DRAWING THE LINE.
Business Men Protest Against the
Heir to q Quarter of Million
Getting Clear of His Debts.


The following petition to Chief
Justice Judd has been filed in the
Clerks Office of the Supreme Court:
We the undersigned merchants of
Honolulu respectfully beg to petit
tion your honorable Court, in the
matter of the application of w. H,
Aldrich, that he be not adjudged a
voluntary bankrupt, and in support
of our petition beg to set forth the
following reasons and facts in con-
nection herewith:
Fjrst-That the said w. H. AL
drich has once before taken advan-
tage of the bankruptcy law of this
kingdom, to wit in the year 1885, to
the loss and detriment of the credi-
tors.
Second-That the credit which he
has since obtained is all of very re-
cent date, and under specific 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
petitioners to the said w. H. AL
drich, were his promises not made,
and accepted in good faith by your
petitioners, in the full and confident
knowledge that his prospective in
come warranted such credit.
Third-Your petitioners, in fur
ther support of their position, beg
to annex for your perusal letter
addressed 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.
H. 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. H.
Aldrich will come into the enjoy
ment of the first instalment of his
interest in an estate probated at San
Francisco, Gala, of one million dol
lars, divided equally between the
four children, the sole devisees OF
the late w. A. Aldrich, somewhere
in or during 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 con-
> tinually pray.
