POLICE BOUND TO ACT.
PROSECUTIONS FOR GAMING. "Some of the cases are under appeal and I cannot thsc-uss the question," said the Commissioner of Police, Mr . B. Mcllveney," when approached by a reporter of The Pbess yesterday regarding the recent police prosecutions in Christchurch under the Gaming Act. "The police are in duty bound to bring a prosecution in any case where complaint is made of the contravention of the Act. We are following no new reading of the Act in the recent prosecutions, but pursuing the xisual course taken when breaches come under the notice of the police. 1 ' Some of the breaches, the Commissioner added, were border-line cases; and in such the police laid an information and left it to the Magistrate to decide as to whether the Act had been infringed.
