MARCONI ENQUIRY.

SOME OF THE DEALINGS. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright [United Press Association.] London, April 10. Heybourn, a stockbroker, who accompanied Marconi, Godfrey and Sir R. Isaacs to America and issued the American shares on the English market, described how Godfrey took up million. Witness, believing that tlio shares would boom, took up 250,000 from Godfrey at £1 ss, and Mother two blocks of 50,000 each at £2 2s 6d and £2 8s 9d on the day before the shares were available to the public. 1 He refused to give the number which he placed amongst his friends prior to April 19th. He agreed to furnish the names privately. He knew of no dealings by Ministers.

Sir Rufus Isaacs, speaking at the City Liberal Club dinner, said that he did not complain of legitimate newspaper criticism, but it would be more fitting to the House of Commons’ dignity, after remitting the Marconi incident to a committee, if members withheld their criticisms pending the committee’s report. He assured the Club that he had net committed any act which would lead to a forfeiture of confidence or esteem.
