' For some time the..Victorian detectives have been investigating a fraud that has been perpetrated in connection with the use of duty stamps for court documents. About three months ago the Secretary of tha Crown Law Department asked for a document from the Ballarat Court. The clerk of courts there on looking up the document found that the duty stamp had been removed from it. He then investigated a number of other documents, and found that duty stamps had been re moved from many of them. He reparted the circumstance to the Crown Law Department, and the AuditorGeneral and the .police were informed. The Auditor General sent up an offlzer to investigate* and the Whole of the documents were examined. It was found that stamps, which would represent a value of over £I,OOO if used again, were missing from documents in groups of courts in the Ballarat district. An examination of other documents ■i showed that stamps from which the original cancellation marks had been obliterated'had buen used again. So far the detectives have not obtained sufficieht evidence to warrant a charge being laid against anyone.
