WOMAN BOOKMAKER WARNED
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, October 6. "If you choose to carry on this illegal business you must suffer the same penalties as men do,” said Mr A. M. Goulding, S.M., to Mary Doris Richards, aged 34, a married woman, who pleaded guilty in the Magistrate’s Court to-day to a charge of bookmaking. Senior-Detective Compton, who prosecuted, said that with -Detective-Sergeant Callaghan he went to Richards’s house on Friday evening and observed her taking bets over the telephone. Bets amounting to £52 10s had been recorded by that time. Remarking that it was her first offence, Mr Goulding imposed a fine of £5O.
