Unusual Prosecution For Starting Price Betting Postmaster Fined
Henry Herbert Hawking postmaster at Krambach was fined £10 after being found guilty of using the premises for starting price betting. Evidence showed he accepted an each way bet by telephone from a punter at the Krambach Post Office and transmitted the bet via a public phone behind the counter. Hawking claimed the call was for business, not betting, and that he acted to assist a customer when the public line was engaged. The magistrate noted the case established a prima facie use of the premises for betting, despite defence arguments about a single isolated act. The ruling reflects ongoing tensions between post office services and legal betting activities amid regulatory scrutiny.
