Deposit Paid to Syndicate Member in Timber Lease Case

A trial in Quarter Sessions revealed a £50,000 deposit paid by Hancock and Gore to a member of the John Smith Garden syndicate for a timber lease in New Guinea. Testimony describes two instalments totaling £50,700 to Ranard Farrell, with further references to Garden, Pare, and Ward discussing letters of concession and authority. The minister Ward denied Garden’s authority since 1994 and questioned the signing of concession letters as to who authorised them. The case centers on negotiations over a Bulla Valley venture and priority requests for entry into New Guinea credits.
