It appears from the police statement that ;i ft(. r the first race had been run a 1 shortage in the cash was discovered, and in order to make up some of the loss addditional tickets were rung on in four subsequent races, making dividends amounting to £l9 odd. The police magistrate considered that fraud had been practised and imposed a fine of £2O.
