'FOLICE RAID RESULTS IN
EIGHT ARRESTS.
When police officers raided a house in Bonham Road yesterday, they found a large-scale po-piu jettery business in progress.
In a room in the servants' quarters, five men were setting up the type used on the tickets, while in another room three men were busily, writing up what ap peared to be the announcements of the last draw.
All eight men were taken into custody, together with the No. 1 boy employed at the place, who was arrested on the presumption that he knew what was going on. The prisoners were charged under the Gaming Ordinance this morning, when previous con- victions for a similar offence were proved against two of them, These men were both fined $150, or three months.

Six other defendants were fined 375 each, or six weeks.
