ALLEGATIONS OF BRIBERY
BOOKMAKER AND POLICE. By Teiegraplb—Press Association. Hamilton, Jan. 15. Two charges of bribery were preferred against' Harry * Abraham Samuels, a tailor, who a 'fortnight ago was convicted of bookmaking and was fined £3OO. The charges arose out of the receipt, through the post, Ly DetectiveSergeant Thompson and Detective White of packets containing a case of pipes and a flO note, accompanied by a card with the", picture of a racehorse and signed “Harry Samuels.” Following the receipt of the parcel, the detectives waited on Samuels when, according to the evidence given before the court to-day, he admitted sending the parcels, remarking that he did not register them as he did not want the post office people to know anything about them. Apparently believing the detectives had accepted the brio?, he confided in them some bookmaking business, and also promised to put money on a good thing for each of them on the following Monday. Accused reserved his defence and was committed for trial at the Supreme Court.
