FORGED "TENNERS."
COUNTERFEITERS' BIG HAUL. By Telegraph—Press Association. 'Auckland, Last Night. Persons with counterfeit £lO notes are still reporting their losses to the police, and the total number of notes traced to date is beween 100 and 120. The young, dark foreigner who distributed the notes apparently confined his attention almost wholly to Karangahakc road and Symonds street. Enquiries today show that at least twenty-two Symonds street shopkeepers were victimised. Apart from these two shopping areas, the thief visited Ellerslie racecourse, where a number of notes were passed through the totalisators, and called,on about twenty-five hotels, wliere in each case he purchased a flask of brandy and tendered a £lO note in payment. The fact that no counterfeit notes are known to have been given to shopkeepers since Saturday indicates that the counterfeiter has made the best use of his time since in covering up his tracks from the detectives, v./io arc onw giving a very great deal of ti.ve to the ease.
