Packapoo.
A CHOW FINED £IOO. DUNEDIN, Nov. 1. At the Police Court to-day before Mr 0. 0. Graham, S.M., Lee San was charged with unlawfully selling a ticket by which permission was given to the purchaser to have an interest in a scheme by which prizes of money are gained by a imQde of chance. The evidence of detectives was that accused was a seller of pakapoo tickets, and they had purchased them from him. The defence was that the Supreme Court •‘had already ruled that pakapoo did not come under section 18 of the Gaming and Lotteries Act. The Magistrate said that, with all respect to'-the Chief Justice, he thought he had made a mistake. The profits past be very considerable, judging by the number of people who flocked to such places. He would fine’ defendant £IOO and costs. There were three other similar cases against the same defendant, and two against Joe How. Notice of appeal was given in Sun's -case, and the other cases were adjourned pending the decision of the higher Court.
