PAPUAN RUBBER COMPANY
LAX DIRECTORS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, August 20. The hearing has commenced of a charge against Joseph Cox and John George Aikman, directors of the Papuan Rubber and Trading Company, of falsifying a balance-sheet, by omitting therefrom an item of £350, which they knew had been stolen. Counsel for the prosecution in his opening speech stated that Cox visited the company's properties and prepared some strong advice. The report of this visit was not presented, but instead the directors issued a garbled and misleading report. Also the secretary of the comjwiny, who was now undergoing a sentence, before the meeting confessed to Cox and Aikman that he had defrauded the company to the amount named in the charge, besides other defalcations totalling £IOOO or £1700; yet the directors moved the adoption of the report, without saying a word of the secretary's defalcations.
