NOT A FORGER.

(Per United Press Association.) GISBORNE, January 27,

A native who spent a month in gaol awaiting trial, on a charge of forging what has now been proved to be his own name was brought before the Magistrate and released. It appears •that the accused had overdrawn his account at the bank and, fearing the consequences, when questioned about the cheques he had issued, concealed his identity, thereby leading to the forgery charge.
