BETTOR FINED
— Piess Association.)
"As Guilty as Bookmaker"
(By t'etegiaijh
AUCKLAND, This Day. . For making a bet with a bookmakei, Harold Coleman was fined £20, or one month 's imprisonment by Mr OrrWalker, S M. The Magistrate said: "lt comes to this. Bookmakers carry on only because of the support of a lot of individuals— good, bad, or indifierent. The man who bets with a bookmaker helps him to carry on his illegal calling" an^ is equally and morally guilty of the' offence. I believe some people take up the attitude that a bettor with a book-' uiaker is just as bad as the bookrnaker himself— something like the position cf a receiver is to a thief.'?
