The Law of Gambling, Civil and Criminal. By Ward Coldridge

and Cyril V. Hawksford. (Stevens and Sone. 12s. 6d. net.)—The passing of the " Street Betting Act, 1906," and the decision of many important cases, such as "Powell v. The Kempton Park Racecourse Co.," has necessitated a new

edition of this well-known work. The chapter on the Betting House Act has been entirely rewritten, and a new chaptee traces the important recent developments of the doctrine of New Consideration.
