Under cover of the pressure of business during the Christoimreh Carnival Week, a numbor ol' forged banknotes, purporting to be one pound notes, on th# Bank of Australasia and the National Bank of New Zealand, have been put into circulation. .Tliey are photographic re productions that when circulated at a busy time would be passed unnoticed by many .people, but are easily distinguishable from original notes on close examination. These notes were found by tho Union Bank of Australia in a very largo quantity of banknotes paid in by tlio Canterbury Jockey Club. They had been paid in through the totalisator, and it was owing to their beinj* amongst such a large quantity of notes which took some time sorting that their presence was not discovered earlier.
