Charing Cross, and they sued Misa Margaret O'Sullivan, & Court drosemaker, to recover £25 128. 10d. This amount, it was stated, was due and payable under an award made in October, 1912. In the alternative the plaintiffs claimed the return of money paid ›by them to the defendant. -

The defence was the Gaming Act of 1856 and 1892.

Mr Morte, for the plaintiffs, said defendant had received from the plaintiffs sums amounting to £40 She had only paid to them C14 14. Ml, and owod £25 12, 101. Even if els paid what was chimed ale stood the winner of 20 164, 31.
