ALLEGED CUSTOMS FRAUDS
A CURIOUS COMPLICATION
(By Cable.—Prese Aeeociation.-Copyrigkt.) LONDON, November 19. A curious situation, has arisen in the motor Customs case.
Mr Shorland, in response to a request by plaintiff's counsel to produce copiee of any invoices supplied by his firm to defendants, submitted three which had been prepared on condition that defendants absolved him from responsibility if the Customs raised trouble. The documents handed in did not refer to Australia. Two dealt with cars for New Zealand and the third with cars for South America.
Counsel for the Commonwealth explained that he had never asked for these invoices. The Commonwealth solicitors in September asked for Shorland's assistance in the matter of giving proof. He did not respond till November, when he stated that tha Clement Company's solicitor would see that assistance was given, bnt no proof was received from Shorland.
Acting on the Magistrate's suggestion the case was adjourned til! Tuesday to enable Shorland to produce further documents.
