Brunton, who arrived by the Aorangi this morning. “It was set up to vindicate the action of the Government in appointing three city commissioners to control Sydney instead of having a city council/’ he said. “The aldermen were put out,” said Mr. Brunton, ‘‘and three very capable and able men were put in their place. “After a while people began to complain and asked 'Why were these three men appointed?’ “‘Very well/ replied the Government, ‘we will show you.’ “And then the Royal Commission’s inquiry started, as the cable messages have told you.”
