It appears that at a. recent bazaar there were several raffles for which permission had been given by the Department. The authorities of the bazaar gave with eacli article raffled a gift of greater value. The defendant pleaded guilty. The magistrate ordered payment of costs, but did not record a conviction, as the case had been brought on to show that churches must be careful with raffles.
