POLICE ACTION UNLIKELY
TOTALISATOR CLUBS’ POSITION. MATTER UNDER CONSIDERATION. (Brit’sh Official Wireless.) Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, Dec. 17. The effect of yesterday’s judgment of the Lord Chief Justice which would make totalisators illegal at greyhound races continues to excite public interest. Totalisators were in use at several meetings last night. The position of totalisator clubs is the subject of consideration but it is generally assumed that they will be closed. No police action is likely, however, pending instructions from the Home Secretary. Law officers are stated to have the whole matter under consideration.
Editorial comment mostly welcomes the judgment as bringing to a head an unhealthy situation in which new betting facilities were increasing under doubtful legal authority.
