When Charles p. Searle, a native Of
Thetford and son OF Rev. Mr.. Searle,
so long the CoDg'l pastor at Windsor,
was appointed receiver OF the Cape
Ann Granite company some four
years ago, the company was indebted
to various parties to an amount ex-
ceeding 800, 000,of which S50, 900 was
due at the Maverick National bank Of
Boston, the failure of which neccssi-
tated receivership for the Cape Ann
Granite company. Attic time of the
appointment OF the receiver it was
feared that all the creditors would lose
the principal and interest, but he has
within few days sent checks to the
stockholders in final payment Of 300
share. This result was obtained by
successful completion of certain con-
tracts on the new court house in the
city OF Boston, the postotfice in the
city of Lowell and the public build
ings in Philadelphia. Mr.. Searle as
receiver disbursed over $500, 900, and
his receivership is considered the most
remarkable one ever created by the
courts of Massachusetts.
