DELIBERATE CASE ·

- In the shop itself, on a shelt at the rear and exposed to the view of the public, were found rolls purporting to be coins, which

would amount to $1,050 if genuine. but in fact they were nothing but empty tins wrapped. in paper with the name of the firm stamped on the outalde, Defendant was the only person in the shop st the time and he told the police thas he was a foki. He stated he did not know where the cenee was, and could not communicate with him. He may have been some- where in Canton.

Inspector Andrew said that it was a deliberate case of swindle and there was no doubt that this type of money changer's shop existed solely for the purpose of defrauding their victims.

On the first charge, accused was sentenced to ex weeks hard labour and on the second charge á fine of $300, or three months' hard labour was imposed. The counterfeit coins were ordered to be conscated and destroyed..
