Counsel for Smith said that Smith did not make a penny out of the transactions, but was only a go-between for bookmakers and their clients. Henry William Pullen and Thomas Victor Tuohy pleaded not guilty t.o similar charges and were remanded for eight days on bail of £IOO and one surety of £IOO. Pullen was said to have been operating at 5938 Colombo Street, and Tuohy in the bar of a hotel.
