A concrete example of the monotone class theorem

I have a lot of trouble in applying the functional monotone class theorem. Therefore I'm solving some exercises to get some experience. Maybe someone could help me with the following. Suppose I have shown that the following equality is true:

$$E[g f(W_{t+h}-W_t)]=E[g]E[f(W_{t+h}-W_t)]$$

for a bounded and measurable function $g$ and for a bounded and continuous function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$. Now I should use the functional monotone convergence theorem to extend this to all f, which are bounded and measurable on $\mathbb{R}$. According to PlanetMath (Theorem 2), how would you choose $\mathcal{K}$ and $\mathcal{H}$ in this situation. Since I have trouble to apply the theorem, it would be appreciated if someone could help me to see a example of its use.

I think $\mathcal K = C_b(\mathbb R)$ and $$\mathcal H = \{f \text{ bounded measurable}\, ;\; \text{(\ast) holds for all bounded measurable } g \}$$ where $$\tag{\ast} E[gf(W_{t+h} - W_t)] = E[g]E[f(W_{t+h} - W_t)]$$ would work, using monotone (or dominated) convergence to show closedness of $\mathcal H$ under monotone limits.

Note that $\mathcal K$ generates the Borel-$\sigma$-algebra, because any closed set $C$ is the zero set of a bounded continuous function, e.g. of $x \mapsto \min\{1,d(x,C)\}$, where $d(x,C) = \inf\{d(x,y)\mid y \in C\}$.

@ Sam L. thanks a lot! This was also my thought, but I was not quite sure about the generated $\sigma$-algebra. – math Jun 24 '12 at 12:43
