Another case of mistaken identify in which a, £SO banknote was involved has cropped up. This happened a few days ago lit New Lynn, where a resident, who had a windfall of £IOO and converted it into two £SO notes for handy safe-keep-ing, was deeply concerned upon missing one of them. Reluctant to believe that he had been mislead into error by the marked resemblance of the £SO note to the 10s note, the loser invoked police aid. Official interrogation in the neighbourhood had the smnll-boy element in a nervous condition, ere the solution ol the mystery was found in the fact that the missing note had been handed by its owner to a bus driver in mistake for a 10s note.
