THE PETROL SCANDAL.
MORGAN OUT FOR "BOODLE." By Cable,—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, April 12. Before the Petrol Commission, Mr. Morgan gave evidence that he mentioned 3 per cent, as his commission. He looked on the matter aB an ordinary commercial deal and was out to make as much as possible for himself. The whole thing would have been submitted to the Cabinet, and in the event of the pruning knife being used he wanted to ensure a substantial brokerage. He did not care if the world knew that he received 10 or 15 per cent. He stated that Mr. Black said it would come pretty rough on him if the Government took over the company, as he had made the New South Wales agency a pretty good thing for himself.
