BETTOR FINED £2O
HELPING BOOKMAKER IN ILLEGAL CALLING [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, November 26. For making a bet with a bookmaker Harold Coleman was fined £2O or one month’s imprisonment. Mr Orr Walker. S.M., said: “It comes to this—bookmakers carry on only because of the support of a lot of individuals, good, bad, and indifferent. The man who bets with a bookmaker helps him to carry on his illegal calling and is equally and morally guilty of the offence. 1 believe some people take up the attitude that the bettor with the bookmaker is just as bad as the bookmaker himself, something like the position of receiver to the thief.”
