BANKRUPT CHINAMAN. BIG BETTING LOSSES. i (PEESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, June 29. At a meeting of the creditors of Wang Joe Yin, fruiterer, Masterton, it was stated that the assets were £163 and the liabilities £519. The examination of the bankrupt elicited the fact that he was a regular attender of race meetings and had done considerable betting in various parts of the Dominion, attending personally several meetings. His losses in backing horses totalled £7OO. An indignant creditor said the bankrupt was a disgrace to the Chinese race. Bankrupt said he had nothing to offer. It was resolved that he be prosecuted. paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=CHP19220630.2.86&cl=search&srpos=10&e=-------100-CHP-1----0chinese+fruiterer--&st=1Press, Volume LVIII, Issue 17494, 30 June 1922, Page 10
