Litigation Pending.

Over Papuan Sawmill Company.

From Our Own Correspondent.

Pt. Moresby, March 1.

LITIGATION is far from being a popular pastime in Papua, so that the pending action brought by the creditors of Port Romilly Sawmills

Limited against the liquidator is a sub ject of interest in Port Moresby.

The company went into voluntary liquidation in January of last year and Mr. A. S. Fitch, of the Steamships Trading Co., was appointed liquidator.

Creditors complain that the conduct of the liquidation has been prejudicial to their interests, and an interlocutory injunction has been granted, restrain ing him from certain specific actions.

The case will be heard in the Central Court at the end of March.
