Gambling raid targets common gaming house in Hanson block
Magistrate Ryan issues a search warrant and police raid at Stanley Reid’s Hanson block store, arresting six or seven men found playing poker. They seize money, cards, and a marked gaming table, with Reid later fined $600 and the premises forfeited. The case raises questions of magistrate jurisdiction over keeping gaming houses, citing Rex v Lee Guevar and subsequent 1909 reforms.
