Betting Among Working Men.

A OHIBF CONSTABLE'S EX PERIENCES.

The Select Committee of the House of Lords on Betting resumed its in quiry on February 10th—the larl of Durham presiding. The members of tbe Committee present were the Bishop of Hereford, the Earl of Derby, the Bar! of Aberdeen, Viscount Newton, Lord Oobbb-ca, and Lord Peel. Mr R Peacock, Chief Constable of Manchester, said be bad a considerable experience of betting in tbe North of England, and he thought it had consi derably increased daring the past year or two, particularly street betting. In Manchester thebookmakere were gener ally found in the neighbourhood of fac tories and works, and some of them had agents inside the works. Witness put in some betting slips which had been taken from bookmakers.

Lord Durham—t see one of these slipß is from a lady, and the total amount involved is 7s. Does it mean eh© had all that amount od horses in one day I— Ym. What position in life does she oc cupy ? She is a working man's wife. Replying to the Bishop of Hereford, witness «aid betting was more preva lent in the industrial towns than else where. There was no question about betting being an evil. That was generally admitted. He strongly nrged that the law defining a place should be amended so that every policeman could interpret it. He would make illegal all betting, except betting en the racecourse, in connection with ihe sport He, however, did aot agree with Oolonel Fludyer that book makers should be licensed. He thought snob a scheme was unworkable, and weald Increase betting to an enormous extent, beside whioh they would either have to liiense all comers or else oreate a mischievous monopoly. In his opinion, if the Press were prohibited from publishing tips and betting news, fcbree-fourths of tbe betting done away from raoecourees would cease. He thought it was quite possible to make the trade of the bookmakers illegal by an extension of the present law alone, and be thought it possible to work gnch a law if it were passeds Replying to Lord Peer, wiktssa said that be knew how many masters com plained to him about their servants whom they had not prosecuted, bat had Lad to discharge, for taking money for betting purposes, he would be aston iahed. Witness would make it an offe-ce to lead betting circulars through the post; Replying to Lord Newton, witness said there was a great deal of betting at athletic sports, bat the Press were not responsible for that. They did not publish starting prices or give tips re lating to foot racing. Lord Newton—Do jou think it pos sible to prohibit the publishing of odds?— Teg,

Lord Durham—Do you not think (hose severe measures you advocate would be extremely unpopular among lb© working classes 3—l don't tbink w© ought to legislate for popularity, but Jos what we think is right, Do you think there should be one law foe the dob and another for the poor f—No, I don't, but T know that many working men bet for the excite ment of the thing, even when tbey know they can't win, and Idon'i thiok the law should allow fc^era to do that. By the Bishop of Hereford—Wit ness said his desire was that people who were likely to be easily led should be protected from tbe temptations of men who made their living by botling.
