FORGED CERTIFICATE
For Intermediate Exam.
NEWCASTLE, Thursday.
Arthur John Swain, 22, was to-day committed for trial on a
charge of having forged an Intermediate Certificate about April
1, 1936. Arthur Ahearne said that he gave Swain a position on
being shown the certificate. Swain's work was not up to
standard and he was dismissed for telling an untruth. Another
witness said that the defendant had given him an order for 25
certificates and said he was an Inspector of Schools.
