WOMAN'S CUNNING FAILS TO DEFEAT THE LAW
RAID ON LOTTERY HOUSE
A cunning attempt to defeat the law was disclosed at the Central Magistracy this morning when a Chinese woman was charged before Mr. E. W. Hamilton with running at 131, po pla establishment
#
| Third Street, West Point.
Detective-Sergeant R. J. Clark gave evidence of raiding the house
at 4.30 pm, on January 6 with Chi-
nese detectives and finding a num ber of documents relating to
&
lottery, besides Chinese type and
red and black printing inks, which were hidden under, the accused's bed.
"A Mere Woman"
The accused sald, in reply to the charge, that she was a mere woman and did not understand.such things. They must have been left there by her brothers without her knowledge.
Sergeant Clark then sprang surprise by telling the Magistrate that at 5 p.m. on the day following the accused's arrest, another woman brought a meal to her at the Police Station. The meal was "searched," and concealed in a loaf of bread was
a strip of paper with some Chinese writing on it.
""Be Careful"
The English translation of the writing on the paper was:-
"I have money to pay you out. Be careful not to admit that the property is yours. You may say that it was left behind by your brothers, and you
can also and know say you are a woman nothing about these things."
subscribed enough
In reply to the Magistrate, the Sergeant said that the woman who had brought the meal to the station wds in Court. He had sean Mr. Fitzroy about charging her, but dis- covered that there was no charge
for it:
Mr. Hamilton imposed a fine of $100, or two months' hard labour.
The lottery tickets and type, etc.. were ordered to be confiscated, the latter after the Magistrate was in- formed that they would be turned over to the printing department of the fall.
