CHARITY LOTTERIES.
BREACH OF GAMING ACT.
ASSUME TREMENDOUS PROPORTIO
(Bv Telegraph.—'Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. "These lotteries are illegal under our Gaming Act," said the Magistrate Mr Mosley to-day, in convicting and discharging several defendants on charges of running raffles in aid of Christmas parties for children. " They should not be persisted m. even for charitable purposes," said Mr Mosley. "That they are held in the cause of charity is no excuse. They assume tremendous proportions after a while. Look at the art unions. They became so big that the Minister had to close down on them."
