CHINESE FINED.
GAMBLING ON PREMISES. SEVEN BEFORE COURT. (iiv Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. For using his premises as a common gaming house a Chinese, Charlie Weng, was fined £10 and costs to-day, and six others found on the premises were fined £1 each and costs. Counsel said a "bank" was being conducted to help the Chinese unemployed. The magistrate remarked that pakapoo was very similar to an art union, where the draw depended on certain numbers. It was very different from fan tan or dice playing.
