POLICE NOTICE. 77.— In April last a number of forged coupons of 20 florins each, relating to the 4 per cent. 40| years bonds on the Austro- Hungarian Bank, were uttered to various Vienna banking houses and money- changers, and it is expected that attempts will be made to utter more of these forged coupons, prob- ably in England. The forgeries are on vellum paper, and lithographed on the German and also the Hungarian side, with the exception of the black number of the bond, surrounded by blue, which is printed in typographic characters. By looking at the forged coupons in front of a light, fine pin- holes are visible in some of the figures, and on other parts of the coupon, and the ornamental fignres in the various parts of the brown ground are irregular as compared with the genuine coupons, especially in the square part of the star ornament. All writings and ornaments appear raised, and this is caused by their being printed on an engraved plate. It is requested that all bankers and money- changers may be warned by the various Police Forces, and asked that should any of the forged coupons be presented, to detain the person presenting them, and com- municate with the police of their district. • DURHAM. 86.— Hartlepool ( Borough) — For failing Ao report— Licence Holder THOMAS TAYLOR,, alias THOMAS SCOTT, Office No. 40765, age 55, height 5 ft. 9 in., complexion fresh, hair dark brown, eyes brown, scar bridge of nose, bullet scars left thigh and above left knee, cupping marks right ribs, birth- mark right thigh, 1st and 4th right fingers crooked, mole left forearm and above left knee, M.
