It was all the more to be regretted that he had to prosecute him on charges of forgery and falsification of accounts, and to reveal, to his Worship the clever scheme adopted by the defendant in carrying out these

The table decorations were particularly fine this year, and it was apparent that greater accommodation would have been useful. Mrs. Scott Harston was awarded first prize for pansies but was disqualifiel on account of the exhibits not being shown in the regulation stand. Mrs. Braid- Wood was awarded a special prize for a basket of hanging fern. An interesting exhibit was the - лез hybrid forn nephrolepis tadinides shown by Captain Hodgins.

At the close the prizes were presented Lady May, who was afterwards handed a beautiful bouquet with silver holder by Mr. Barton,

Mr. G. H. Ross, Dr. Jordan, Messrs. J. would ask that the defendant be com Barton, F. B. L. Bowley, Choa Po Sien, mitted to the next Sessions-for trin. On Goldring, F. Howell, Ho Fook, the 3rd January last Messrs, Arnhold, Ho Kom Tong, Mr. and Mr. Ho Tung, Lau Chu Pak, Li Ping, Leung Yaa Po Karberg & Co. had occasion to draw a

H. W. Looker, N. J. Stabb, 6. D. Wil cheque for 810,000 on the Hongkong and kinson, and Wong Kam Fook. Shanghai Bark. That cheque was writ- ten out by the defendant in his own hand-by writing, and signed by Mr. Fredericks, who was authorised to sign cheques on behalf of the Company. The cheque wont through the Bank in the ordinary course of business and in a proper manner. It was important to refer to the number of that cheque--E702,645 The defendant himself draw that cheque and entered it in the counterfoil of the cheque-book as $10,000, and it was duly entered in the firm's books as the sarce sum. He ean.. celled that theque, however, in blue pencil. on the counterfoil and wrote the same cheque out again on the next counterfoil, No. E792,646, and entered that cheque. of $10,000 in the books of the firm under the heading of the second cheque, No. E702,645. It would appear upon ex- amination of the books and the counter- foil that the first cheque did not go through the Bank at all, but that the second cheque went through.

His Worship--The second cheque was signed by the defendant

By

Mr. Hodgson said he would explain. The first cheque actually did go through the Bank in the ordinary way.

The second cheque, E202,040, went through the Bank, but not for $10,000, as entered on the counterfoil and in the books, but waa forged for $2,000. He would prove that the signatures were 'forged, cancelling the first cheque and making it appear that it had not gone through the Bank and by making the same entry in the counterfoil, he was able to deal with that second cheque as he pleased. These cheques passed through the Bank on the 30th January, and at the end of that month, if a balanco had been taken of monies in the Bank as compared with the monies showed in the firm's books, the firm would have found that they wers $2,000 short. So the defendant covered that up by means of a false entry. The Company had occasion to draw a choque for $20,790.70, the number being E702,662, This was quite properly filled up, signed, and went through the Bank. On the counterfoil of that cheque would be found entered 828,790.70, and a similar amount was entered in the books of the firm, and not $26,790.70 as shown on the cheque and, on the firm's pass-book. Thus, the $2,000 was inade up, and the books would balaneh properly, the defendant being $3,000 in pocket. On the 25th January the firm had occasion to drem, a cheque for $115.10, the number beis? E792,091. There again the defendant (dopted the same system by cancelling the first cheque and entering the same on the following cheque, which went through the Bank for $2,000. This was also forged. He covered this up by making another false. entry in the books upon a cheque, dated 4th February, when the Company had cë- casion to druse a'choque for $15,748.05, which was entered as $17,749,05. On the 12th of February the Company drew a cheque for $968.43, upon No. E799,928. The same procedure was employed in this case also, and the second, and a forged cheque went through the Bank for $3,200. That sum, however, was not entered in the hooks of the firm, for the defendant did not wait, leaving the Colony on the 15th February for Manila, where he was eventually arrested upon a warrant and brought back. He waived the extradition proceedings, which, of course, he would have had to go through.

Mr. Fredericks then gave evidence, and atated that several of the cheques pur- ported to be signed by himself were in fact forged by the defendant, who was a very good bookkeeper, although occation ally a little careless.

The case was adjourned till Monday.
