BOOKMAKER FINED.
TOOK OVER ANOTHER'S BUSINESS. (rasss association Tii.Eoa.Uf.) AUCKLAND, May 4. Aubrey Field Billing, aged 49, was arrested by detectives at his office this morning and subsequently appeared at the Police Court, when he pleaded guilty to a charge of using the premises as a common gaming house. Chief-Detective Hammond said Billing had formerly worked for a big bookmaker, who suddenly left the Dominion. "Billing used to post the 'bookie's' books every night, and I suppose he thought it was an easy way to make money by carrying on himself for he knew the bookmaker's clientele," said the Chief-Detective. "He's liable to a fine of £100," said the Magistrate, in fining Billing £25 or two months' imprisonment.
