The case had been called provi- ously, and an adjournment granted. It appears that a man 'took a $100 Borneo note to the shop, to be changed, and alleged that the two notes mentioned in the charge were handed to him.

Mr. Brooks said in a case of that nature it was necessary to prove guilty knowledge of the forgery, and there was also the necessity to prove the intention, to 'defraud. There had been no evidence, to that effect.
