Crane, a local punter, again figured in the Court to-day, for the third time, as a sequel to a betting transaction.

This could not he done, so Blain brought an action against Crane for betting with him. Crane was ‘fined £5, hut the police undertook to recoup him. f To-day Crane sued Blain for £ls damages, for assault and battery, which took place at the time of settling up the original transaction which caused all the bother.
