FINE OF £SO
Bookmaking Case In Oamaru Arthur Clarence Rawstorn, a grocer, aged 48, residing at 39 Lynn street, Oamaru, pleaded guilty at a sitting of the Magistrate’s Court in Oamaru last night, before Mr H. C. Jeffery and Mr E. D. Watts, Justices of the Peace, to a charge of bookmaking. He was fined £SO, with costs (10s). Detective L. D. Harrowfield said that he and Constable J. D. Farquhar had executed a search warrant at defendant's place of business in Thames street and had found betting material to the extent of £26 on last Saturday’s races and £1 on today’s races. Mr Jeffery told the defendant that he had ample warning and added that as the £3O fines imposed in recent prosecutions had not acted as a deterrent the fine in this case would be increased to £SO.
