An important test case to decide whether football cards constitute a lottery was opened recently before Sheriff Brown' at Hamilton, Lanark- shire.
Thomas Helfernan, a Lanarkshire conmissłon agent. and hist san, Daniel Heffernan, were charged with haying in their possession 1,200 fic- kets or chances In a lottery, narne- ly the pool card, in which money prizes were offered for tickets on which were printed three football teams, referred to by numbers, show- ing the best score of goals in the ag gregate in matches to be played an' February 20.
They were also charged with dis- tributing such tickets and with hay- ing in their posses lon Ests of prize- winners relating to a lottery.
USE OF PREMISES Thomas Helleraan was also charged with using his premises for purposts connected with a fottery.
The defence wits that football pool cards did not constitute a lottery.
Inspector James Christle stated that. he searched the Hefferman's house Return: £76.and found poot cards which stated that the first prize was £15, second £10 and third £5.

When charged, Thomas Helfernan replied, "1 understood the tickets were quite legal as I have taken legal advice on the matter. I under- stond that so long as the purcha bad uption of choosing his own teams it was lawsu),***
Thomas Heffernan, giving evidence, sak ho avcepted full' responsibility for the schiem!!. He distributed pool cards to various agents, who handed them to clients. The agents were instructed to sell them on a strictly credit basis.
Mr. G. R. Thomsan-What propor- tion of your clients chase their own teuns?
Heffernan--About 70 to 75 per of my clien's cont. The majority prefer to depend upon their own judgment.

SOLICITOR'S ADVICE
Helfernan added that his son kept book showing the amount of money taken from the sale of cards. Before 1938 he had received a sample of a pool card which he gave to l solicitor, who advised him that this, card was illegal. He then obtained the
card. The present
difference was that the legal card did not bear an Intimation that the pur- chaser could select his own topsy.
Heffernan was cross-examined on the question of skill in connection with the choice of teams.
The Fiscal pointed out to him that a prize was awarded for choosing three. teams which scored five goals each on any one Saturday, and ask- ed if it was not a question of chance in choosing three such teams.
Heffernan replied that there were men who thought they knew better
NORDDEUTSCher Lloyd BREMEN than others and could choose teams
