During the course of Mr. Duff's evidence, Mr. Lostby made a remark to Mr. Marton which caused the latter to protest strongly to his Wor- ship. "I object to Mr. Loseby's re tark that the whole book is cooked," seld Mr. Marton.

Questioned regarding the putting of the name "Reliance Motors Trans- port Company" on the military ques- tionaire, Mr. Duff said that that name was used in order to avoid confusion with Reliance Motors Ltd. The type of business entalled in the military contract was entirely different from the busines she was carrying on, and he intended to form the new com- pany and have it registered when the contract was received,
