Street Better Fined for Street Betting at Police Court
A 17 year old youth Raymond George Moreon faced a Sydney police court on a betting charge.

The magistrate fined him 70 shillings, warned of jail if unpaid, and ordered 14 days detention for failure to render service under the Fences Act. The incident drew censure for the adults who joined in the betting.
