TWENTY POUNDS FINE
TIME TO PAY REFUSED , ROLL OF NOTES PRODUCED. When Charles Brown was fined £2O at Coburg, Melbourne, recently on a charge of having carried on starting price betting, he asked for time to pay. He said he had been out of work for a long time, and could not get sustenance because he was boarding with a brother who was working. „ . . . A constable said that Brown hao told him that he had been betting for two months, but did so only because he was out of work. He was betting for another man. „ . _ The magistrate (to Detective Sergeant Burrows): What do you say, sergeant. Detective Sergeant Burrows: I don t know this man, your Worship. The magistrate: No time to pay. Brown immediately produced a roll or notes from his pocket, took 20 single pound notes from it, paid the fine, and walked out of court.
