Coates) that an Order in Council has been gazetted adding these companies to others mentioned in the schedule of the Companies (Special Investigation) Act, which was passed recently. The tabling of the reporij, came as a surprise to members, who had no inkling of the matter before Mr. Coates made a statement when the House resumed after the supper adjournment at 10 o'clock. ' .
For the greater part of. tho clay in tho House the Budget was debated, though little fresh ground was broken. The debate was interrupted for the presentation of the Commission's report.
