Years.

At the Criminal Sessions held before the Chief Justice (Sir F. Piggott), al the Supreme Court, today, I'u Lam was in- dicated on a thurge of attering tren for- | ged notes on the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and Chin, each of $10, xt Youmali, and alen with being in possession of 13 furged notes of the same denomina

tion.

Sir Henry Berkeley, KC, Acting At- tordey General, instructed by Mr H. Denya, juhe.. prosocutad, and prisoner was undefended.

The jury was cous ituted ae follows Mesure B. Webb (foremsu), K. L. Hughes, W. M. Weston, F. M. Crawford, G. Rapp. J D. F. Mülder, and. H. G. Priedsmatin.

Sir Honry Barkeloy anid it seemed that the only question for the jury ans, whether the man knew that the notes which he had tered and which be had in His-pos-casion were as a fact forgeries. The evidence was very clear as to the het of the forged character of the notes and the fact of the possession. The only question would be as to intent.

Mr Frank Stanley Allen, cashier at le Bank, said the paper of which the forged notes was composed was quite different to that of the genuine ones, while the sig natures of the sub-meccantant were printed ins oud of being written.

Bis Lordship-How would an ordinary person recognise them as foreries? Sup- posing I get them, how could I recognise thera

Witness-They are trade workmanship; that is the only thing. They are exact copies of our notes otherwise,

Prisoner-Could I ball they were for

Witness-I don't know how much money you are used to hunding, but our notes äre in circulation here and all about Sonth Chiva

His Lordship-Bat would a man in his position know they were forgeries?

Witness-I don't know his position. His Lordship ould any Chinuman know them to be forgories?

Witness-Am I to muswer "Yes" of *Nu"?

His Lordship-Yes.
