APPEAL COURT.
IS PAKAPOO A LOTTERY? Per ?ress Association. Wellington, July 18. The case, Joe Gee v. Williams, was heard before the Full Bench of the Supreme Court to-day. Appellant was convicted and fined £IOO at Wellington on a charge of selling a ticket for pakapoo. jFor the defence it was contended that [ pakapoo was a game of chance, and not a lottery, and the information laid was under the wrong section of the Act; that there was no prooE that any lottery did take place; and that pakapoo is not a mode of chance by which prizes are gained within the meaning of the Act. The magistrate overruled these contentions, and an appeal lodged, as somewhat conflicting judgments had been given by the Chief Justice and Justice Williams on the game of pakapoo. Mr Chapman, K.C., and Mr Wilford appeared for appellant, and Mr Myers, Crown, Prosecutor, for the respondent. Mr Chapman opened the case on the line 3 of the defence in the lo.ver court.
