EXHIBITION LOTTERY.
CHARGE AGAINST SOUTHLAND COURT. (pjktss lesocxiTios teugeam.) DUNEDIN, April 30. J. E. Winslow, Commissioner of the Southland Court, was charged at tho Magistrate's Court to-day with having conducted a lottery whereby a giant cheese was competed for. The Chief Detective said the cheese was sold in small pieces, each purchaser having a chance of securing money prizes concealed in the cheese. Defendant did not benefit personally from the sale of the cheese, as the sale helped to defray the expenses of tho Court. The Magistrate, in dismissing the case, said he could not see any great harm had been done, particularly in view of the amount of gambling going on at the Exhibition.
