FORGED BANKNOTES TRIAL.

CLEVER WORK BY CHINESE DETECTIVE.

WONDERFUL IMITATIONS OF $50 NOTES.

PRINCIPAL FORGER BOLTS.

Clerke work by a Chinese detective led to the ultimate indict ment of four Chinese at the Criminal Sessions yesterday before the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Gollan, on charges in connection with alleged forged $50 notes.

The spurious notes are described as being very clever imitations liable to deceive even the most natute business man.

The attention of the police was concentrated on the detection of a possible gang of clever forgers in the Colony as a result of the extensive circulation of spurious notes in the early part of last year. Mainly owing to the skilful and fearless work of Chan Sui Ping, a Chinese detective, a gang was run to earth and four arrests were made in November last. Unfortunately, Chang Wing, one of the principals, escaped and has managed to evade arrest up. to the moment.
