FINED £2O.
betting with bookmaker. AUCKLAND, November 26. For making a bet Avith a bookmaker Harold Coleman was fined £2O, or one month’s imprisonment, by Mr C. 11, Orr Walker, S.M. “It comes to this bookmakers carry on only because of the support of a lot of individuals, good, bad, or indifferent.” said the Magistrate. “A man who bets Avith a bookmaker helps him to carry on his illegal calling, and is equally and morally guilty of the offence. “I believe some people take up the attitude that a man who bets with a bookmaker is just as bad as the bookmaker himself —something like the position in which the receiver stands to the thief.”
