SHOP RAIDED BY POLICE
PROPRIETOR FINED. (Per United Press Association.) New Plymouth, February 10. A police raid on a hairdresser’s shop and a subsequent search on February 1 resulted in the proprietor, Francis Sampson Roberts, being fined £25 and costs 10/- in the Magistrate’s Court this morning. Ronald Cole, who was found on the premises, was fined £5 and costs 10/-. A feature of the case was a long address by defending counsel, Mr C. H. Croker, who pointed out that the laws relating to bookmaking had not had the public sanction and were likely to be replaced in the future, an argument which the Magistrate, Mr W. H. .Woodward, suggested was for the Legislative Council rather than the Court.
