SPLIT NOTES.
LATEST VICTIMS. (BY TELEGRAPH-—press ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, July 15. Split one pound notes are still being negotiated in the city. Two Chinese fruiterers are amongst the latest victims of this form of fraud. Both accepted notes as genuine, only to discover too late that they had been over trusting. Another Chinaman was more fortunate, as he unfolded the note and detected the fraud. The would-be swindler thereupon threw down half-a-erown on the counter in payment of his purchase, snatched the note and decamped.
