TROUBLES OF ENGLISH BETTORS. The woe of the small English bettor is hinted at In the following recent paragraph from the Sporting Life: "The Liverpool County police have adopted a new method of dealing with bookmakers unable to meet their liabilities at Aintree. Instead of charging them with welshing, they now lock them up for frequenting witli intent to commit a felony. A number of such defaulters were yesterday sent to gaol for varying terms of Imprisonment."
