BOOKMAKER FINED
PROSECUTION IN WELLINGTON. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 2. Albert John Collins, a barman aged 45, was fined £5O by Mr J. L. Stout, S.M., today, for carrying on the business of a bookmaker.
Detective-Sergeant McLennan said defendant had a room in a block of flats in the city, where he had been carrying on business as a bookmaker. He had three telephones there. Counsel for Collins said defendant had been unable to work full time because of a physical disability and had given way to the temptation to supplement TtTs earnings by carrying on as an agent for a bookmaker.
