(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, November 11. Alexander Hawthorn, aged 68, was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment without hard labour by Mr W S.

Finlay said Hawthorn had told the police that he was only a bookmaker’s agent. Figures in his books showed that the turnover of the business on a race day was about £7O. This was the defendant’s third appearance in Court for bookmaking.
