FINE OF £75
BOOKMAKING CHARGE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
HAMILTON, This Day.
"I have to consider principally the deterrent effect of the penalty in these cases. I cannot see a man convicted one month, and when before the Court again the following month, inflict a small penalty the second time," said Mr. S. L. Paterson, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court at Hamilton today, in inflicting a £75 fine on Alfred Bruce Roberts, aged 23, who was convicted on a charge of bookmaking. Roberts was fined £50 for a gaming offence on April 27, and was apprehended on.the present charge on May 27.
