Mr. Wotten reminded his Worship that on the last occasion but one he had intimated that it was very likely he would have to make a further charge against the prisoner. He was now prepared to do *', and he would ask that the following be added to the charge: That the said John Gray did wilfully make false entries, in words and figures, in the bill register of the said Bank, namely, by entering a bill on Hip Os, for $10,000, dus on the 30th September, 1889, as due and paid on the fat October, and a bil on Kwong Tung Tai and Co," for $900,-in-the same way, and did wilfully make a false entry in the cash-book by entering $17,000, being part of a sum of $21,000, as paid on the 1st February 1890, whereas it was paid in on the 31st January. That charge was made under Ordinance 6 of 1865, section 6: He proposed to produce evidence to bear out the charge, and then leave the defence to state their position.
