It bears that Appearance.
The Royal Cnmmippioner appointed to inquire into illegal ■regularities in the Marine Dcparimentheld its final sitting on W. doeslay. Mr «J. A. Millar, M.H.R., deposed that Mr John Hutcheson, M.H.R , confided to him on the night of his speech in the House on marine matter?, o: within a night or two afterwards, that {l Jimmy Jones" wti* one of the persons to whom his remarks had applied. Mr Hutcbeson went into the witness- box t and gave an unqualified denial to MiMillar's statement. He had never had sufficient confidence in Mr Millar to make a special confidant of him. He was prepared, if the Commissioners thought it necessary, to bring men with whom at the time of his speech he was in confidential ' relations to prove that when he made his speeob. and for some time subsequently, he did not know who the parties affected were. Judge Ward said the Commissioners would not require evidence to supplement that of Mr Hutcheson. The wit* * ness : " Well, the position is this : here are two members of Parliament and one of them is a liar." — N.Z. Timeg.
