17 Oct. Arthur agreed to allow his cousin John Moore to join him in the business.

John brought £5,000 of his own money into the business, which is used to pay part of the amount owed to Karic.

18 Oct. Because of John Moore’s carelessness, a potential customer, Mr Lee, fell in Moore’s office and broke his arm. Lee threatened to sue the firm, so Arthur promised to pay Lee £3,000 for medical treatment.

21 Oct. Arthur felt that he wished to reduce his investment in the firm. He therefore sold half his interest in the firm to his uncle, Arthur Teak, for £25,000.
