POLICE RAIDS
- ALLEGED GAMING HOUSES VISITED. The police last evening swooped down on four reputed haunts of the pak-a-poo player—three houses _ situated in Haining Street and one in T'aranaki Street. Eleven whites aud seven Chinamen constituted the "bag."' In each case the occupier of the house was a Chinaman. The new police van transported the prisoners with much tumbling equipment to the Mount Cook Station, where the majority were able to make arrangements for release on bail. This morning the eighteen men will be brought before the Magistrate's Court and charged—three of the Chinamen with keeping common gaming-houses, two with selling pak-a-poo tickets, and the rest of the Chinese and f.ll Iho Europeans with having been found in gaming-houses. The raiders were Sergeants Crean, Woodley, MLean and Butler, and eight coiwnbles.
