THE GAMING ACT
FINED FOR BETTING

The evidence showed that accused went to a Chinese laundry and laid two doubles— Gluepot and Bon Rove and Coalition and Bon Eeve —at £8 to 10s. The Chinaman won, and in the street the accused congratulated him, saying lie would send the money. He failed to do so, and when the Chinaman complained to the police lie received 10s, with a note signed “F. Harris. ' A fine of £2O, with costs (£4 0s 6d), was imposed.
