At the Magistracy to-day the four Chinamen charged with swindling a ward of Court were brought up again on remand. The first prisoner was discharged on the application of the prosecution, and was put in the witness box. He spoke as to the transactions at Mr. Rodyk's office, where were drawn up the first promissory note for $7,000 which the land office refused to register, the second $7,000. note, which was valid, the $15,000 note, the declaration of age and two memorials of charge connected with the promissory notes.
