Dis. No. 925 of 1929 dated 19th December 1929." Acting on this letter the debtors came to the conclusion that they were not entitled to relief under the Act and they therefore agreed to a compromise fixing the amounts which they had to pay. Independently of the letter sent by the debtors advocate there was an enquiry made by the Court regarding the date on which this Agraharam was made into a union and this elicited the reply that the Agraharam was not a union before 26th August
