the law.

The defendant was originally charged with practising, as well as with concealing certain poisons. and four hypodermic syringes, but the latter charge was dropped at the commencement of yesterday's proceedings.
In regard to the remaining charge, Mir. Lossby, at the test, protested to its wording, as it left him "colloquially guessing" as to the charge he was supposed to an- awer. Was it a charge of prac tising or professing to practise that his client had to answer? Mr. Linduell agreed these were two separate charges and made a note of Mr. Loseby's objection.
Giving ovidence, Inspector Lane said that he proceeded to No. 231- Queen's Road West at 11.15 am. on October 80. The fat appear ed to be under ono tenant. The verandab was divided into two rooms, one of which was fitted up with a desk like an office and the

FORGED BANKNOTES.
TEN MEN AND TWO WOMEN CHARGED.
Tho arrest of ten Chinese men and two women has resulted from the series of raids, which as pro- viously reported, Criminal Inves tigation Department officials car ried out over the weck-and in various districts of the Colony In connexion with the big forged
bank-note caso.
The prisoners were charged and formally remanded when produced before Mr. R. E. Lindsell yester day.
Detalls are withheld. regarding the extent of the police discoveries in the case, but it is known that a considerable quantity of spurious banknotos purporting to be of the old $50 denomination issue of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank have been seized, with, incidentally, other documents which have thrown much light on the practice of a highly organized gang of counter feltern who have been flooding the Colony with their product.
It also appears that the head quarters of the gang to whom the prisoners aro alleged to belong as far as this Colony is concerned are located in Canton, "business" being done through a number of selling and distributing agencies established here.
