Swindling a Bank.
(PKB PRESS ASSOCIATION). SydnkY, January 19. An extensive swindle has been snecessfully carried out on the National Bank of Australasia. A man presented a cheque signed "Walhawala Station Company " for 11500, and obtained gold for it. Subsequently he paid a cheque, similarly signed, for £4000 into the City Bank, but the National Bank discovered the fraud and stopped the collection of the £'4000 cheque. It is believed the swindler was formerly employed in a clerical capacity on Walhawala Station, and that having stolen the signed cheques he filled them in himself. The police have found no trace of the man.
