THE DUNE DIN TOTALISATOR CASE. [BY TELEGRAPH.-PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, Thursday.

Duxnnix, Thursday. In the totahsator case to-day at the Police Couit, Mi Holomon. counsel for the defence, intimated that he had changed his nund, and would not now call any witne.st.os for the defence. Ho aigued at some length in mitigation of the lino, and he gave an assiuance, aftei the opinion expressed by the Com I, that as far as Mi. Barnett wai concerned, lie would in no way be concerned in the futme with any place which could come within the moaning of a common gaining house, no matter undei what denomination it might be termed. As a piosecution of the kind against a club was a new one, he hoped tlj.it His Woiship would make the line a small one, paiticuhuly as an fissmance had been given that so far as Mi Bamott was concerned no further pro.secution of any kind would be likely to again occupy His Worship's attention. His Worship .said : There is no doubt that the Legislatine makes it a .seiious ofionce, and the accused having been once convicted, theiefore I must inflict a very substantial penalty. I will not inflict impiimminent without the option of a fine, because it may be, as Mr Solomon hays, and veiy likely is, that theie are other persons who are concerned in the matter, and it would be rather hard that one .should be got at. But if a penalty is inflicted, the punishment will fall on ail of them. The accused is fined £50 and coats, in default two months' imprisonment. Mr Haggitt asked for a ruling whether the moneys found on the peisons in the gaming loom should .be forfeited, but His Worship determined to leave the matter entirely with the prosecutor. The following defendants then pleaded guilty to the charge of assembling in a gaming house without lawful e\cu.so : —ftchott, J. Wilson, Goldsmith, Maidment, Parsons, McKay, Kihnaiin, Wright Knowles, Scoones, Clisby, Cohen, and Rutledge, These weio each fined 20s and costs. Two other defendants who had only gone in to see friends weie discharged, being adinonlsued that in future they should be careful wheie they went even to .see a fiiend.
