ILLEGAL.
RAFFLES FOR CHARITY. Christchurch, Yesterday. “These lotteries are illegal under our Gaming Act,” said the Magistater, Mr. E. D. Mosley, to-day in convicting and discharging several defendants on charges of running raffles in aid of Christmas parties for children. “They should not be persisted in even for charitable purposes,” said Mr. Mosley. “That they were held in the cause of charity is no excuse. They assume ti-emendous proportions after a while. Look at art unions; they became so big that the Minister had to close down on them.”
