TWO-UP AND “A PUBLIC PLACE.”

B'lien George Lawson Little was charged at Petorie this week with playing two-up.on the property of Mr 11. Love, his counsel, Mr Treadwill, asked that the case be dismissed on the legal ground that .it had not been proved that the property was a public place. It was no offence: to play on private property. Senior-Sergeant Bird contended that the property was a public place within the meaning of the gambling Act, and' quoted the case of Police v. Mark, heard at Auckland off I <th May,.1019, where persons were convicted of playing two-up on a privately-owned brick-hill. The Bench lield that the phrasing of the Act and the authorities quoted by-Senior-Sergeant Bird conclusively proved that the- property was a public place? The Bench fined the accused £lO and costs. Leave to appeal was granted.
