GAMBLING.
ANOTHER SPEECH BY MR HAWKINS.
(Per Press Association.) Westport, last night. For exhibiting haudbilis and selling tickets in connectien with the Mount Kembla Art Union & resident of Seddonville was to-day fined 5s and costs. Mr Hawkins, S.M., during the hearing of the case, passed some strictures on the totalisator. It was bad enough, be said, JoT“ men to invest their earnings in the totaiisator, but it was a lamentable thing to find women doing the same. The gambling in the charge brought before him was a flea-bite compared to that which took place on the totaiisator, and there was a certain amount of natural hypocrisy in the State suppressing the one form of gambling and encouraging the other.
