BRADFORD SCHOOL BOARD RESOLUTION.—“The attention of the Board having been called to the general prevalence of betting and gambling, and the appalling evils arising therefrom, it is hereby resolved that the teachers be requested to take every opportunity to point out to the scholars the injurious effect of the vice.” Mr. CURTIS BENNETT (Marylebone Police Court).—“I am convinced from my experience as a Magistrate that nothing is so productive of crime among young people as street betting. It is an evil far worse than drunkenness, and I agree with Mr. Justice Wills that it is the greatest curse of this country.” CHAIRMAN OF CROYDON BENCH.—“It seems a very good paying game. I think the Government, as soon as they have time, will have to take into consideration whether the law should not be altered.” These remarks were called forth by a bookmaker who had been summoned, producing a handful of sovereigns, and suggesting that it would save time for him to pay the fine at once without the evidence being heard. LUTON TOWN COUNCILLORS:— Alderman OAKLEY, J.P.—“The Watch Committee reports show that betting is much on the increase. It is even affecting school children.” Alderman DILLINGHAN.—“It breaks up many homes and leads people to rob their employers. It is the forerunner of drunkenness.” THE DEPUTY MAYOR.—“It is a grave temptation.” Mr. WARREN.—“It is bringing a great calamity on the land. It is one of the biggest evils England has to contend with. The young people in Luton are led away to an alarming extent.” Alderman Sir J. RENALS.—“Street betting has become an intolerable nuisance in the city.” LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE (Lord ALVERSTONE).—“Sport never ought to be of necessity associated with gambling or betting. Those who had to do with the administration of the law knew that there was nothing in their great towns—and he was afraid in the smaller ones too—that brought more people in the humbler walks of life misery and ruin than the betting agents.” BISHOP OF LIVERPOOL (Dr. CHAVASSE).—“He called upon them, in the name of their Master Christ, to rise up and fight this awful foe of gambling and betting, lest they ate the heart out of the Church and nation, and a just God punished them with a righteous retribution.” RECORDER OF BATH (Mr. H. C. FOLKARD).—“He was afraid that the pernicious practice of betting and gambling was becoming very prevalent throughout the country. Many gave way to the evil who were in good situations and positions of trust. The bookmakers were a great evil.” Lord CHARLES BERESFORD.—“The worst of all vices. On board a ship it is particularly pestilent. Its practice has destroyed many fine characters, and has been the means of causing unbounded misery to innocent and deserving persons.”
