THE SUGAR COMMISSION.
LEGAL POINTS RAISED. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. SYDNEY, May 10. Mr. Knox and four other directors of the Sugar Company were charged with refusing to give evidence at tho commission. Counsel for tho defence declared that ho intended to take every legal objection. He challenged tho right of the Commonwealth to appoint a Royal Commission, and also challenged the right of the Governor-General to appoint a commission, except by an Order-iu-Council. He declared that tho Long Parliament passed an Act in 1640 to prevent the King inquiring into the private affairs of citizens. Tho case was adjourned.
