§ Mr. Thorneasked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information in connection with the case of Hyman Gold-line and 100 other men who were charged at the Thames Police Court, on Saturday, 8th November, with keeping a gambling house; and what action he is taking in view of the comments made by the magistrate who tried the case?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am informed that there were two raids in which 94 persons were concerned. In one case the two principals were fined £100 (with 15 guineas costs) and £20 respectively and in the other the two principals were fined £100 (with 15 guineas costs) and £40 respectively. The persons frequenting the houses were bound over. My hon. Friend may be sure that the police will continue to give attention to this matter and proceedings will be taken whenever the facts justify it.
