This deponent Florance C. Broadhurst on his oath
saith as follows:- I remember Tuesday the 13th January last. About 1/2 past 4 in the afternoon I examined the safe at the Bank and the money. I saw the previous day’s vouchers lying on the chiffonier in proper order and apparently undisturbed. They were wrapped round with a wrapper gummed on one side. There were 26 cheques and other vouchers all stamped with the bank stamp.
