MOTOR-CAR LOTTERY
DEFENDANT FINED. (By T«lerranli—Pr«e« AisociatU*.) Auokland, January 15. Judgment was given to-day by Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., in the case in which Wm. Matthew Russell was charged with conducting a lottery. He had been responsible for the raffling of a motorcar, claimed to be the last one shipped from Liege. The Magistrate said that counsel had asked for a nominal penalty as the cause for which the raffle was held, the Belgian Relief Fund, was a good one, but the fact remained that the permission to hold the raffle- had been refused by tho Minister of Internal Affairs, which rendered the defendant liable to a severe penalty. Mr. Cutten added that ho could not, condone the defendant's offence in view' of the Minister's decision, and a fine of £5 and costs would be imposed. .
