Gaming — Betting — Using House for Purpose of receiving Bets on Horse - races — Evidence of User — Betting Act, 1853 ( 16 and 17 Vict., c. 119), ss. 1, 3. The appellant was a bookmaker, and a letter was sent to his premises stating that the writer wished to open a de- posit account with the appellant, and on hearing from him would forward £ 5 ; the writer added that none of his com- missions would exceed that amount without a further remittance. The appellant replied, enclosing a book of rules, and saying that " on receipt of yours, as suggested, I will place you on my list of clients." The money was thereafter sent to the appellant in the form of postal orders. Bets were made by the appellant on behalf of the writer of the letter, and a day or two later the appellant's premises were raided, when books of account, showing betting transactions and about a hundred betting slips, were found. The appellant was convicted upon an indict- ment under the Betting Aot, 1853, for using the premises for the purpose of moneys being received by him as and for the consideration for certain assurances, undertakings, promises, and agreements to pay thereafter certain moneys upon certain events and contingencies of and relating to horse- races.

[ FEB. 2' 2 THIS was an appeal against a conviotion upon an indictment under the Betting Act, 1853, at the Southampton Quarter Sessions, charging the appellant with using a certain house for the purpose of certain moneys being received by him as and for the consideration for certain assurances, under- takings, promises, and agreements to pay thereafter oertain moneys upon certain events and contingencies of and relating to horse- races. The appellant was fined £ 25, with £ 20 oosts. Mr. G. W. Ricketts appeared for the appellant; and Mr. Charles for the Crown. Mr. RICKETTS said that in May of this year the police of Southampton were desirous of entrapping the appellant, a bookmaker, into making an illegal bet, and to that end a letter was written from Portsmouth in the name of one Ellison, a bogus name as far as this case was concerned, say- ing that the writer was not desirous of communicating with a local bookmaker, but wished to open a deposit account with the appellant, and on hearing from him would forward a £ 5 noter and that none of his commissions would exceed that amount without a further remittance. This was writ- ten early in May. The death of the King just afterwards put an end to all racing for a time. On May 24 the appellant replied enclosing a book of rules, and saying that " on receipt of yours, as suggested, I will place you on my list of olients." The money was then sent in the form of postal ordere. Bets were made on May 26 and 27. On June 1 a raid was made on the appellant's premises, when books of account showing betting transactions and about a hundred and sixty betting slips were found. By section 1 of the Betting Act, 1853 ( 16 and 17 Vict., c. 119) it was enacted " No house, office, room, or other place shall be opened, kept, or used for the purpose of . . . any money or valuable thing being received by or on behalf of such owner, occupier, keeper, or person as aforesaid as or for the consideration for any assurance, undertaking, promise, or agreement, express or implied, to pay or give thereafter any money or valuable thing on any event or contingency of or relating to any horse- race." By section 3, " Any person who, being the owner or occupier of any house, office, room, or other place, or a person using the same shall open, keep, or use the same for the purposes hereinbefore mentioned, or either of them . . . shall" be liable to certain penalties. Mr. Ricketts, continuing, submitted that there was no evidence that these premises were used in contravention of the statute, for there was only evidence of one transaction. The presence of the betting slips did not show that illegal bets had been made, for they might have been made as records of past transactions, or refer to credit bets. They did not show that money was received beforehand in those cases. The words " I will place you on my list of olients" did not show that these clients were persons with whom the appel lant made illegal bets. He referred to Reg. v. Davies ( 13 The Times L. R., 405; [ 1897] 2 Q. B. 199). The jury was not directed to the consideration of the " purpose" for which the house was used. They returned the verdict " Guilty, but we think he was very reluctantly led into it in this case." That showed that they were thinking of this one case only. The money was reoeived on no consideration whatever; at the time the orders were received there was no contract at all in existence, and the writer of the letter could have de- manded the £ 5 back— The Universal Stock Exohange v. Strachan ([ 1896] A. C., 166). Therefore there was no con- sideration on either side. The money was deposited as security against a debt which might arise from a gambling transaction. The appellant was not guilty at the time he received the orders, which was the only time when guilt oould attach, if at all. These orders were not money, and the indiotment only charged the reception of money, not of anv " valuable thing." Lennox v. Stoddart ( 18 The Times L. R., 585 ; [ 1902] 2 K. B., 21) was also referred to. Mr. CHARLES said that, with regard to the contention that the money was received on no consideration, the letter from Ellison said that he wished to open a deposit- account, and that the commissions would not exceed the amount deposited without a further remittance, and the appellant made bets in consequence. If that did not come within the statute it was difficult to see how any ready- money betting transaction did. With regard to this being a solitary trans- action, the jury was entitled to oonsider the paraphernalia found on the appellant's premises when raided. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in giving the judgment of the Court, said that ho recognized that betting was illegal only in certain cases. In this case the appellant was indicted for unlawfully using a certain hoU6e for the purpose of oertain moneys being received by him as and for the consideration for certain assurances, undertakings, promises, and agree- ments to pay thereafter certain moneys upon oertain events and contingencies of and relating to horse- races. It oould not be said that the attention of the jury was not properly directed to the question whether or not the appellant used the rooms for the above purpose. It appeared that this transaction was the result of a trap set by the police, and, although he ( the learned Judge) did not, any more than did anybody else, like police traps, at the same time there were some offenoes which could not be discovered otherwise, and the offence was none the less an offence because committed as the result of a trap. The Court had no doubt that this particular transaction infringed the provisions of the statute. The £ 5 was sent on the terms that a deposit account was to be opened, and that commissions were not to exceed that amount without further remittances. The meaning of that was, " I do not ask you to give me credit, but to make bets with me up to the amount sent," and the reply was that on receipt of the £ 5 Ellison would be placed on the appellant's list of clients, a book of rules being enclosed. It was unfor- tunate, if the book showed anything in the appellant's favour, that no copy of it had been produced. It seemed to him that the transaction contemplated the naming of horses by Ellison and an undertaking by the appellant to make bets with him up to £ 5. The latter was not wise enough to see that he was on dangerous ground, but kept the money and made bets, and appropriated portions of the £ 5 for that purpose. It seemed to him that the transaction was within the statute. Then it was said that the house was not being used, & c., because only this one instance was proved. It by no means followed that the jury might not convict. It was shown that the appellant was carrying on a betting business, and a number of slips were found relating to bets made on the same day, and he should have thought it a stroDg sug- gestion to say that all these other transactions were on credit as far as the backer was oonoerned. He did not think on the facts proved that they ought to hold that there was no evidence on which the jury oould convict. With regard to the contention that the postal orders were not money, he did not intend to express any final opinion, but his im- pression was that there was authority for saying that the receipt of a document which could be turned into money might be the receipt of money. But they were all of opinion that, even if they felt bound to decide this point in the appel- lant's favour, they would give effect to the proviso to sec- tion 4, subsection 1, of the Criminal Appeal Act, 1907, under which they could in such a case dismiss the appeal if they considered that no substantial miaoarriage of justice had actually occurred. The appeal would therefore be dis- missed. EXTRACT FROM NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. ( From Gazette, 1911, page 272.) Clerk of Court, < L- c., appointed.
