FEILDING BOOKMAKER FINED
Feilding, March 18. Sergeant Cahill and Deteetive Russell to-day entered the dwelling of Alfred George Sporle, in Lytton Street, on warrant, and took charge of the telephone. While they were there several rings came, but the strange voices had the effect of checking off conversation. Sporle returned home /while the police were there and admitted he was carrying on business as a bookmaker, laying totalisator odds. Sporle later appeared voluntarily before Mr. R. M. Watson, S.M., and pleaded guilty to a charge of laying totalisator odds. He was fined £5.
