WATERSIDE RAID.
GAMING HOUSE CHARGES.
SCOUT CAUGHT NAPPING.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, Monday.
A lapse on the part of a scout posted to give the alarm was responsible for the disclosure of a gambling school at Moturoa' on November 10 and the appearance in the New Plymouth Police Court before Mr. W. H. Woodward, S.M., to day, of eight waterside workers.
John Shore pleaded guilty to a charge of using the waterside workers' rooms as a common gaming house and was fined £10. Charged with being found without lawful excuse in a common gaming house six men, all of whom pleaded guilty, were each fined £3, with two months in which to pay. A similar charge against another man was dismissed.
