NO IMPRINT ON CARDS.

Christchurch, April 25.

Peter Grant was fined £ 2O, with costs, for assisting to publish doubles betting cards without an imprint. The fact that two envelopes containing cards were stamped with an automatic stamping machine leased to Grant by the post office was held by the Magistrate to be sufficient connection of Grant with the publication of the cards. In two other instances the envelopes had been stamped with an adhesive stamp, and there was nothing to connect defendant with them.
