GAMBLING AND RACE MEETINGS-
Nelson, April 11. The Criminal Sittings of the Supreme Court began yesterday before Judge Richmond. There were only two cases. James Watson, for the larceny as a bailee of a nugget of gold, was sentenced to one year with hard labour. The Judge said the crime rose from drink and gambling. The multiplication of race meetings with gambling accompaniments had become a public nuisance. The habit of gambling unfitted any man for pecuniary trust. In the case of Robert Campbell, charged with an unnatural offence, a true bill was returned.
