Tum cares at the Police Court to-day were nearly all devoid of public interest; there were two cases for selling prepared opium without a license, in which the defendants were fined $15 and $10 respectively. Two gambling houses were entered by the police, the one at No. 206 Hollywood Road and the other at No. 6 Pound Lane twelve men were arrested in the former house and fourteen in the latter. Four wore fined the full penalty of $200 each, with the alternative of six montha' hard labour; two were fined $50, one $10; two were discharged, and the remainder, the dupes, were fined $1 escb. The infliction of the
fal penalty of $50 in all cases where men are found frequenting gambling house
might have a healthy effect.
