A barmaid in a Sydney hotel was too clever for a man who tried to ring the changes. It was the old dodge of placing live two shilling pieces on the counter for a half note in exchange. After chatting casually for a few minutes, he pushed the whole amount across for a£l note. But the barmaid had been caught before, and by the same man. Calmly she pocketed the whole amount and challenged him to call the police. But the would-be thief left for parts unknown without delay.
