Two men, Joseph Robinson and William Corson, were to-day charged ■with conspiring to defraud the New South Wales Bookstall Company in connection with the issue of the false race books sold at Rand wick on Saturday. The police alleged that thousands of copies of the forgeries were passed to men with a special knowledge of distribution, who in turn sold them to bovs. The last-named did not know that anything was wrong with the books, which were printed at an establishment that had been under observation for a considerable time. It is stated that the sensation is not likelv to stop at the sale of these race books. Other publications of greater magnitude are believed to have been connected with the printing works in question, some of which have been puzzling political circles for a long time.
