Anyone finding it should return it to the Rotorua Police } station. Business people are warned j against cashing the cheque which is signed by C. C. Murphy and payable on the Bank of Australasia, Auckland. Payment has been stopped. Old Mair Be'fore Court A labourer, Henry Kidd, aged 62 j /years, appeared before Mr. T.
