The “Lyttelton Times” says the green National Bank pound notes were an object of suspicion among the public as well as the totalisator clerks at the trotting course oil Wednesday. Twenty-one of them were passed at Riccaiton on Tuesday, and it was hoped that there might lie a catch at Adding- , ton. A false alarm was raised at the outside totalisator on the first race, when a man was detained on suspicion that h,. had passed a spurious note. Whether the note was found to be genuine or not the mail was not asked to explain. Later n woman presented a forged note on the fourth race. Her name was taken, and she was not detained. The police do not hold out much hope now of catching their man. especially as it is quite possible that the notes may have got into anybody’s possession quite unknowingly. Tlie notes are part of a large bundle stolen some eighteen months or two years ago. The only forgery is th ( , signature and numbers.

Later flic witness in his somewhat difficult language 10 follow, said in reference to I)is instruction that they were "dam lull,” and the expression till understood caused even counsel some perturbation, but a fuller explanation showed that tlie instructions given were to keep the dam full, and the witness express- ! ed in forcible manner bis non-agreement with such instructions. Finally when being cross examined by Mr Park, the 1 witness broke out in reply to a semi- : query statement—“Me say that,” lol- ! lowed by a hurst of laughter that fair- ! ly broke up the hearers in Court and • then the climax came when the witness | in reply to another assertion bv coim- \ sol, said in denial, “I can’t call you I something here 1 like,” a statement which fairly convulsed the Court.
