MORE FORGED NOTES.

CHINESE TRAPPED BY DETECTIVES.

Alleging that the detective who caused his arrest had planted a bundle of forged bank notes on his person, a Chinese from Canton pleaded not guilty, before Mr. W. Schofield at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday, to a charge of being in possession of ten $10 bank notes, knowing the same to be forged.

Serious Questions.

After engaged in conversation for twenty minutes, the defend- ant asked the detective if he was able to obtain a purchaser for forged bank notes. On the latter promising to do what he could, arrangements were made for an-

other meeting for the following day, the defendant leaving his ad- drees with the detective.

The Trap.

The incident was reported to the head of the Labour Mainten- ance Bureau and it was decided that the proposed meeting should take place between the accused and the detective, as arranged and the following day, the defendant met the detective at the latter's house, when the former said that he was disposing of $100 worth of forged notes for $30 in genuine money.
