And whereas on the 31st day of October, 1916, the said Arthur Joske retired from the Liquidatorship of the said firm; and by an order dated the 1st day of November, 1916, His Excellency the Governor did appoint me, Roger Greene, Registrar of the Supreme Court, Public Trustee, &c., to be the Liquidator in place of the said Arthur Joske, Esquire, and did direct the Colonial Secretary to so appoint me, the undersigned Roger Greene, in writing under his hand, and on the 1st day of November, 1916, the Colonial Secretary of the Colony, in pursuance of the aforesaid direction, did in writing appoint me, the undersigned, to be the Liquidator of the affairs of the said firm in the place of the said Arthur Joske, Esquire, resigned:

Notice is hereby given that the creditors of the said Hedemann Evers and Company are required, on or before the 28th day of February, 1917, to send their names and addresses, and the full particulars of their debts and claims, and the names and addresses of their solicitors (if any), to me, the undersigned, at my address aforesaid, as such Liquidator; and, if so required by notice in writing from me, are by their solicitor or personally to come in and prove their said debts as claimed, at such time and place as shall be specified in such notice.
