The case was a sequel to the amazingly bold coup by a swind- ler, in fraudulently obtaining over £1,000,000 worth of bank nates direct from Waterlow's on forged orders. The Bank of Por- trgal sued Waterlows for £1,115,- alleging, alternatively, breaches of contract, negligence, or conversion in connection with the printing of the Portuguese bank notes.

Members for the Riverina and north New South Wales, after the announcement threatened to secede from New South Wales. Mr. Theodore declared that Mr. Lang's action yas utterly unjustified. There was no necessity hitherto for any Government to refuse to pay Ita debts. Mr. Scullin said that: Mr. Lang's proposed default raised vital questions and asked: was the Commonwealth legally liable in event of default 'to pay interest due to holders of New South Wales bonds, and if ao could Common- wealth use the revenues contribut- ed by other States?

Mr. Latham promised on the part of the Opposition to support the Government in any steps to en- sure Mr. Lang's observance of the financial agreement. Mr. Theo dore disclosed that Mr. Lang refus- ed to offer the Commonwealth Bank assistance to prevent the default.-- Reuter.
