VICTORIA.
Melboubne, Wednesday. A heavy forgery of aorlp In the Jnnotlon mine, North Broken Hill, has come to light, and a man named Slattery baa been arreated. Some uncertainty pre« vailed bb to whether moio than one was conaeoted with the fraud until Slattary made a full confession. It seems it was the man's first orlme, and he was induced to commit the orlme by the faot that ha went to pay a call on 1100 Junctions on the last day, and as he bad left the lorlp at Caiterton and Company's, the officials would not accept bis money, and ha forfeited the shares. Slattery took aotioa against the company, bat having no money to go on with it, the idea cama into bis head to forge sorlp equal to what eg bad lost.
