THE NEW ACT ON BETTING-110IISES.—Thursday the
new act on betting-houses came into operation, and it. is understood to be the intention of Government to en-
force the new law. Some projects have been started to
continue betting-lists, such as selling pictures or form-
ing clubs, but when it is known that one-half of the
penalties will go to the informers, the parties will ruu
great danger if they attempt to evade the statute. Scot-
land is exempted from the act, and should it be neces-
sary, will be added in the next session of Parliament.
The object of the act is not to interfere with horse-rae-
ing, but only to abolish betting-offices,
than 700 had been opened in the metropolis. Thereobe
of which more
I are 20 provisions in the act. No house or office is t
kept for the purpose of betting. Betting-offices
.
be considered as common gaming-housiteisi. A
