The Magistrate said: “I mix with people, and play bowls and such cither sports as are in keeping with Magisterial dignity. I hear people talking, and one cannot lose sight of the fact that Cox and Walsh haye been carrying on the business for a great number of years. Although I have not betted with these men, I know dozens of people who have.”
