BOOKMAKING charge
Timothy George Lindon Cronin, of Ngaio, was fined £15 and costs in the Magistrate's Court today by Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., on a charge bf carrying on business as a bookmaker. It was stated that he had been found by the police running a £3 for 6d double in a hotel, using a home-made chart. Mr. H. A. Kennard, for the defendant, said Cronin had received only £1 in cash and that had been refunded. It was the first time he had published a doubles chart, and he had never been before the Court before. He had done it to give his friends an interest in the Wellington Meeting, and probably to make" some pocket money.
