BOOKMAKER'S APPEAL FAILS
♦ (P.A.) WELLINGTON, April 29. Commenting that there seemed to have been considerable flouting of the law for five years, and that the Court did not accept the evidence of the appellant, the Chief Justice (the Rt. Hon. Sir Michael Myers), in the Supreme Court to-day, dismissed the appeal of Charles Joseph Williams, aged 41, against a sentence of six months’ imprisonment imposed, by Mr A. Goulding, S.M., on a charge of bookmaking. His Honour said that bookmaking could be stopped, although perhaps not entirely by making offenders realise that impri. sonment would inevitably follow.
