James Caro, a director of the same company, denied that he was a "dummy" for Mr. Swindell. The board made,an allowance of £20 weekly for expenses^ to Mr. Swindell before tin hare racing was legalised. During the examination the Koyal Commissioner interposed: "I am coming to the conclusion that there is a new form of complaint going found called 'Amnesia Commisaionia/ for, as soon as this Commission was formed, people seemed to forget things." j The hearing was adjourned.
