FORGED BANK NOIES.
CIRCULATED IN CHRISTCHURCH.
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRHJIIT.]
Christchurch, Nov r 5
Under cover of pressure of business in the Christchurch Carnival week, a number of forged bank notes, purporting to be one pound notes on the Bank of New Zealand, have been put in circulation. They are photographic reproductions, that, when circulated at a busytime, would pass unnoticed by many people; but they are easily distinguishable from the original notes on close examination. These notes were found by the Union Bank of Australia in a very large quantity of bank notes paid in by the Canterbury Jockey Club. They had been paid in through the totalisator, and it was owing to their ' being amongst such a large quail - | tity of notes, which took some time j in sorting, that their presence was not discovered earlier.
