AUCKLAND BOOKMAKER FINED £250
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 30. John Story, aged 39, a milk roundsman, who pleaded guilty in the Auckland Magistrate’s Court today to a charge of bookmaking, was fined £250. Detective-Sergeant M. J, Ross said that the police went to Story’s premises in Parnell, and in a room which had a telephone found records of bets totalling £134. In July last year Story was fined £5O for keeping a common gaming house. Mr W. S. Spence, S.M., told Story that he would not send him to prison on this occasion, but he would have to understand that bookmaking did not pay.
