A SINGULAR ACTION.
[BY TKI.ECEAPII. —PRKSS ASSOCIATION.] CnßisTCiiur.cu, Thursday. Uobbs and Goodwin, totalisator proprietors, were sued to-day for £1 lis by the holder of a ticket whicli had been refused payment at the last races. The ticket was unstamped, and the defendants said it was impossible to issue an unstamped ticket. On the day in question the wind had blown a number of unstamped tickets into the grass. The money and tickets registered exactly cor- j refponded, leaving the plaintiff out of the calculation, and the inference, of course, was that the plaintiff had never paid for his ticket in the usual way. The magistrate sided with the defendants and gave judgment for them. It appeared that the plaintiff had not got the ticket himself, but gave his pound to another man to get it for him, and the latter obtained one for himself also, giving the plaintiff the unstamped one.
