GAMING CHARGES
THREE MEN FINED (United Press Association) » DUNEDIN, April 21. In the Magistrate’s Court this morning Noble Ritchie Callahan was fined £l5 for using his tobacconist premises as a gaming house, William Halsey Stewart £lO for assisting, and Henry Herbert Gillard £1 for being on the premises. The police said that Callahan admitted he was acting for a bookmaker and receiving 2/- in the £ on doubles and 1/- on straight bets. The Magistrate, Mr J. R. Bartholomew, said that large operators seemed to make very free use of these small agents. Counsel said defendants would have to pay their own fines. The Magistrate: “Would it be possible to make a double to cover themselves?”
