BREACH OF GAMING ACT.
A CONVICTION ENTERED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 21. On March 11 last Carl Petersen Lindegreen was convicted and fined £lOO by Mr. Page, S.M., on a charge of assisting Alfred George Clements in keeping a common gaming house at Nelson. Three other charges of assisting Clements to make a bet on horse races at totalisator odds, printing a document containing statements as to the dividends paid on totalisator investments, and publishing documents of like character, were adjourned pending Mr. Page’s return from England. w Yesterday Lindegreen pleaded guilty to these adjourned charges before Mr. Hunt, S.M. Chief-Detective Kemp explained that Lindegreen had called on him stating that he had relinquished his position as organising secretary of the Dominion Sportsmen’s Association and was going to Christchurch to enter business. Defendant said he did not want these charges hanging over him like a sword of Damocles and said he would plead guilty. “Under the eireumstanes we ask merely for a conviction.”
“Very well,” said the Magistrate, “convicted and discharged on the three charges.”
