§ MR. T. F. RICHARDS (Wolverhampton, W.)I beg to ask the Post-
† See Col. 125.332 master-General whether he is aware that Arthur Magnus, a bookmaker, who has recently been fined £100 in Liverpool for keeping a betting house there, is now carrying on the business by the assistance of a special telegraphic address granted him by the Post Office; whether he will state where these betting telegrams are delivered in order that proceedings may be taken against the occupiers of the premises; and whether the Department will refuse such facilities to a known betting house keeper.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONNo telegraphic address has recently been registered in the name of Arthur Magnus, and in any case I feel I have no power to refuse to the senders or addressees of betting telegrams the facilities common to other members of the public.
