GAMING CHARGE.
Per Press Association. WAIPUKURAU, Dec. 16. - Leonard Beachen, a sports dealer, of Waipukurau, was fined £4O. with costs 10s, before Mr J. Miller, S.M., this morning, on a charge of using his premises as a common gaming house. He pleaded guilty. The police stated that in a raid made on November 28 they found that G 5 bets had been taken on the Auckland and Feilding meetings. Detective-Sergeant 11. Nuttall: It is quite obvious that he has an extensive telephone betting business, and the bets would not indicate that he is in a small way. Counsel said accused was only an agent, and the takings had been phenomenal on the day lie was caught.
