Mr Pearce proposes an amendment that every person who makes a bet with a bookmaker as to the result of any race or sport is guilty of- an offence, and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding £10. The member for Patea also proposes that every bookmaker. shall be deemed to be an idle and disorderly person within the meaning of Section 49 of the Police Offences Act. Mr Clark has given notice to move that in determining the clubs to which totaiisator licenses shall be granted preference shall be given to those clubs which use the totaiisator at only one meeting in any year.
