In the course of his speech during the afternoon, he said that he did not think that the official of the Hong Kong Bank who passed the cheques was in any way negligent. He was very! unfairly deceived by the forged signatures, which were very good picces of work. In any case the forgeries must have been good to have been passed by the Bank. The jury would bear in mind, Mr. Potter continued. that the Bank officiul who passed the cheques had only in his mind al imental picture of the signatures
