DISQUALIFIED FOR LIFE.
ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE JOCKEY AND TRAINER. Christchurch, September 1. A special meeting of Canterbury District Committee was held yesterday to inquire and take further evidence in the case of Joseph Nohra, of Reefton, who was alleged to have tampered with D. E. Cotton, a jockey, and R. MoLellan, who was in charge of the horse Moorland on the West Coast during the last Christmas and New Year meetings. The committee found nothing to shake the evidence of iMcLelljan and Cotton that they were approached by Joseph Nohra to pull Moorland, nor was there any evidence to implicate McLellan and 'Cotton as having been parties to any fraudulent intention. The committee 'therefore unanimously found Nohra guilty of corrupt practice, and disqualified him for life.
