COUNTERFEIT NOTES
GUILT ADMITTED. AUCKLAND, Monday. Thanks to the smartness of a shop assistant, the police on January 9, secured the largest haul of counterfeit bank notes ever made in New Zealand. To-day, Harry Dawson, aged' 48, a hatter, pleaded guilty to possessing 476 forged Bank of New South Wales £1 notes. He also pleaded guilty to six other charges. In a statement the accused said that he came from Australia four years ago. He found the notes in a cigarette tin in a gutter of a city street, and kept them about two months before attempting to circulate them. He cashed about ten. He did not know’ of men being convicted last year of similar offences. The accused was committed for sentence. —(P.A.)
