by Mr. G. E. Morrell (of the Crown Solicitor's office) prosecuted, prisoner being undefended. The Attorney-General stated that. December 15th prisoner went to a house of ill-fame on the Prays. There he handed a woman a $5 note purporting to be a note on the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. The girl y balance from 196 took the money to the mistress to change it, and returned the prisoner $3 in twenty cent pieces. Shortly after this the mistress beard that one of her other girls was in police custody, and went to the station to bail ber out. As she was required to produce $25 sbe returned home for the money. Amongst the bills produced was the 85 bill which the girl had received from the prisoner. The police immedi- ately observed that it was a counterfeit note, and on information given them ly the mistress they proceeded to the brothel and arrested the defendant. On his person was found another 85 note, also counterfeit. The prisoner on being charged by the police stated that he won the two notes playing fantan at Cauton, and that he had no knowledge they were forged. The point on which the jury would have to be satis fied was that he uttered the note knowing it to be forged, and that he was in possession of a note which he knew to be forged.
After hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of not guilty and the prisoner was discharged,
