AN EDUCATIONAL GAMBLE,
Considerable time was occapled at the Magis- tracy to-day with a case in which Yaspector Ballin charged two Chiasmen with having sold | at Yaumat! tickets with reference to the We! Slog Lottery. For the defence it was urged that the tickets bara only the list of successful can didates in the eximinations in Chios Capt.. Supt. May said that judging by the standing of the man who has hi the ickets (a Yamah gracez) It wou'd be as reasonable to suppose that a Cambridge tripos list cou'd be sold in a North-of-Scotland fishly village.
