BETTOR’S NAME
Suppression Requested JOCULAR REFUSAL By Telegraph.—Press Association. Invercargill, June 13. Gordon McDowell pleaded guilty to a charge of using premises as a common gaming-house and was fined £4O. Counsel asked that accused’s name should be suppressed, as publication would result in his being besieged by people desiring to make bets. The magistrate refused, jocularly remarking: “It will be quite a good advertisement.” The police stated that on the day of the raid they found that betting by telephone was brisk.
