a Wad of £5 Notes.—A man who presented himself at the teller's counter of a Napier bank requesting dnt a wad of £5 notes should be changed into notes of a larger denomination caused the bank manager to take action before acceding to the renuest made to the teller. Probably the loan's request, would have occasioned little surprise had it not been for the fact of the EiOO robbery in Hastings a day previously. When the teller was asked to change the notes, he asked the man to wait a while, lie then conferred with the bank manager, and a police ofllcer was summoned. Investigations revealed lluil Ihe man had withdrawn the money from another bank. Mr Melville Jamieson.
