FOLLOWING ON ARREST IN BOMBAY.
SYDNEY BUSINESS MAN. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. SYDNEY, January 23. The case of John Woolcott-Forbes, well-known Sydney business man, who was arrested on his arrival in India last week, was resumed today in Bombay, when evidence disclosed that Forbes’s broking firm in Sydney advanced him £12,500 in 1937 on the security of fully-paid shares in the Producers and General Finance Corporation. Other loans in 1938 brought the total to £17,500. A woman clerk testified that 100 share certificate forms given as security for a portion of the advances to Forbes bore numbers corresponding to those missing from the scrip book referred to by earlier witnesses. The magistrate granted an extradition order.
