He bad never authorised his wife's name to be inserted in any agreement. Just before the City Council was dissolved by the Government, a recommendation -was received that 20,000 tons of coal be purchased from Byrnes, Ltd.' but he had demurred, and he had referred the matter to the Premier, Mr. Bavin, who advised that the Council should carry on with the coal in hand, leaving the contract, to be arranged by the Commissioners. The Premier, Mr. Bavin, also gave evidence. . He corroborated ex-Lord Mayor Mostyn’s statement.
