FORGED BANK NOTES.
IN CIRCULATION IN CHRISTCHURCH. Christchurch, Nov. 15. Under cover of the pressure of business during the Christchurch Carnival Week, a number of forged banknotes, purporting to be one pound notes, on the Bank of Australasia and the National Bank of New Zealand, have been put into cix’eulation. They are photographic reproductions 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 the Union Bank of Australia in a very large quantity of banknotes 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 quantity of notes which took some time sorting that their presence was not discovered earlier.
