Who refereed Burns vs Lang

Does anyone know who refereed the Tommy Burns vs Bill Lang title fight in Melbourne, September 1908. I have some books which have conflicting reports on the referee for that fight. Some books say that L.H (Harry) Nathan refereed the bout while another book states that Hugh D McIntosh refereed it. I know that Hugh McIntosh refereed the Burns vs Johnson fight in Sydney, while Harry Nathan refereed the third Squires vs Burns fight which was also in Sydney.

Thanks

Lionel.

The September 2nd 1908 contest between Burns and Lang was refereed by Hugh D McIntosh (several publications incorrectly name Nathan as the referee).
