FORGED NOTES.
WARNING BY NATIONAL BANK. (Press Association.a WELLINGTON, April 19. A warning is issued by the National Bank of New Zealand that forged £1 notes of the bank are in circulation. The note is apparently a photographic reproduction and the printing is so indistinct that the forgery should! be readily detected. CLUMSY IMITATIONS. (Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, April 19. Clumsy forgeries of one pound bank notes have been circulated in Christchurch during the past few days. In the past week, Jive of the forged notes have been uttered. The notes are imitations of National Bank notes. There should be little difficulty, even for the unskilled, in detecting the. forgeries, as they are printed on one iside only. The paper used is of poor quality, and the . ink is purple. It is evident that a photograph has been reproduced of a genuine note, and this photograph has been reproduced oil a, common soft paper. The printing is much fainter than that of a genuine note, and the paper has-not the proper crispness.
