Be Used By Enemies" SYDNEY, Tenday. There was an unexpected development this inquiry into the allegations of Mr.
Lambert, M.H.R., that offered £8000 to vacate his favor of Mr. Theodore: Judge Scholes said that because put upon certain proceedings yesterday "private," the investigation would have to Mr. Windeyer reminded the Judge promised Mr. Theodore that private affairs would pt private, once again he urged that there should before an matters to be disclosed, were likely to be by political FTER long argument, and much A explanation by counsel, it was agreed that Mr. Theodore's Brisbane bank account should Arst be examined by the Judge, and that Mr.
Lamb should be permitted such ques. tions upon it as the Judge would permit. Mr. Windeyer said that so long this course was strictly ndbered to, no constitutional objections would be raised. Mr.
Theodore by Mr. Lamb about that, campaign in some expenses, instances, the he asserted proses of Nationalist candidates ran into between and £1000. As soon me Judge Scholes took his seat on the Bench he referred to cerlain matters which took place the previous day. What took place in camera, he wald, was that he Inquired from Mr. Theodore whether he could show bim what matters in his account related to business only.
He had offered the bunking account to Mr. Lamb, and later references were made to "private" and "secret" proceedings, "These are Judge Scholes continued. "which must not apply to an investigation by a Royal Commission. I think it is a proper thing now for the bank account to go into evidence, and there shall be nothing secret by the investigation. If ques.
tions are asked upon any Item which Is considered a business transaction shall be prepared to give my judgment." Mr. Windeyer said the course he had suggested yesterday was in order that the judge might acquaint himself as to matters which were or were not in issue. Judge Acholes said that he thought that the Commission would be able to do everything necessary if it took the course now suggested. Mr. Theodore would be adequately protected.
Mr. Windeyer said he had not made the remarks about "privacy" and "secrecy." His position was that if many questions were asked by Mr. Lumb. the nature of these business transactions would be more or les divulged. The course followed yester.
day had been taken in much more important investigations than this one -the Wireless Commission. for Instance. Not one question about the Brisbane hank account could be asked without more or less divulging the whole matter. That, he submitted, would not be fair to Mr. Theodore.
"What was done yesterday," said Mr. Windeyer, "was right We hare absolute confidence in your Honor. The whole community has." he added. "No one would dare to breathe JUDGE SCHOLES a word against you. I ask you to do 1o-day what you did yesterday.
If your Honor is going to change your course. it puts us in a vitally different position. This Is the only way In which my client's Interests can be protected. What reason is there for the change. Mr.
Lamb raised no oblection the course followed. He said, in fact. that he had no desire to pry into private affaira." "Not For Prying Into People's Private Affairs" Mr. Lamb said that some misapprehension had taken place over yeaterday's proceedings. He had no desire to depart from the judge's ruling or comment on it, because he took it that Royal Commissions were not for prying Into private affairs, He had certainly asked to see a certain bank account, but Mr.
Windeyer had raised the point that the accounts were private. The sole point at Issue was to show whether anything had MR. THEODORE MR. THEODORE been paid out of the account to get this seat In Parliament. How, In the circ*mstances, could he treat the count as private.
Judge Scholes said that Mr. Theodore had' answered all his inquiries In camera, and that he had produced documents to support his statement. The point was argued at great length. but the judge said he still regurded the whole matter as serious, I and "there will be no secrecy about these proceedings." he declared. "No One Had Authority But you made a false I don't think 1 did.
Mr. Lamb asked Mr. Theodore if he had ever previously contributed to a retiring politician's testimonial. Mr. Theodore replied that he had contributed to several testimonials.
"I have given generously to people who have been in Onancial dimeulties." he added. in reply to Mr. Windeyer, Mr. Theodore enumerated various testimonials to prominent political personages which had been almost complete faltures. At no time, he said, had anyone any authority, either direct Lambert, or Mr.
indirect, to approach Mr. Anstey or Mr. Mathewa and ask them to resign their seats In his favor. Mr. Windeyer (holding up return of par lamentery candidates' expensca at the Inst Federal election): Do you think it is at all likely that Dr.
Earle Page's expenses amounted to only 1s 9d. Mr. Theodore: I am quite certain that they would be great deal more. Mr. D.
