ATTEMPTED BRIBERY. FINDING OF COMMISSIONER. SYDNEY, June 7. Mr Justice Davidson, the Royal Commissioner, who, at the request of Major Jarvie, a member of the Legislative Assembly, inquired into the bribery allegation launched against Michael Fitzgibbons, in which connection Major Jarvie’s name was freely mentioned in subsequent bribery' proceedings against Fitzgibbons, has furnished his report.
Mr Justice Davidson found that Major Jarvie had corruptly attempted to bribe the late Chief Secretary, Mr Bruntnell, and that he had conspired with Fitzgibbons for that purpose. The State Cabinet has now instructed the Attorney-General to institute criminal proceedings against Jarvie.
The recent prosecution against Fitzgibbons failed.
