COUNTERFEIT NOTES
STILL BEING CIRCULATED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, June 23. The bogus £10 notes whicli a gang of counterfeiters gave to Auckland as an Easter present in 1914 are evidently still in circulation. These notes are excellently counterfeited, and the only method of detection open to the ordinary person is by the' number, which is the same in every case, 169948. Last week one of the notes was passed in at tho Post Office Savings Bailie, and later another of them made its appearance at tho Auckland Savings Bank, both having reached there in the ordinary course of business. About a fortnight ago another of the spurious notes was found in tho streets of Hantings, so that it is obvious that although the forgery was discovered a couple of days after they had been circulated in Auckland through the totalisator and a number of small business shops at a time when the banks wero closed, it is evident that the counter feits had got well into circulation.
