THE GAMBLING HABIT.
f (By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NAPIER, this day.
Counsel for Stratford, when he came up for sentence at the Supreme Court, for theft of postal notes, said it was supposed that the prisoner had been led away into gambling habits. The Chief Justice said the gambling habit was one which unfortunately ■was not dealt with as it should be, and its evil effects were not recognised sufficiently by the citizens. In many districts of the colony gambling was going on habitually, and the people who ought to ac leaders of society did not seem to see what it meant in the yearly sacrifice to this Moloch of numbers of young men.
