BOOKMAKING
IMPRISONMENT AS DETERRENT CHIEF JUSTICE’S COMMENT (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Apl. 29. Commenting that there seemed to have been considerable flouting of the law for five years and that the court did not accept the evidence of the appellant, the Chief Justice, Sir Michael Myers, in the Supreme Court to-day dismissed the appeal of Charles Joseph Williams, aged 41, against a sentence of six months’ imprisonment imposed by Mr A. M. Goulding, S.M., on a charge of bookmaking. The Chief Justice said that bookmaking could be stopped, although perhaps not entirely, by making offenders realise that imprisonment would inevitably follow.
