Chapter XXX: Section 4: of the Act seems to aim at creating an offence different from

either of those specified in sections 1 and 3, but the exact difference is not quite clear at first sight (the section is set out at p. 166). The offence is any one actual receipt or acknowledgment given in respect of a bet on a horse race, &c., by a person who keeps or manages a house or place used for either of the purposes specified in sections 1 and 3. And it does not seem to be necessary that the receipt should be in the house or place as it is under the two earlier sections. But, of course, to constitute such receipt an offence it must first be proved that there is a house or place used, &c.; section 5 giving a right to recover money deposited as in the last section mentioned has been fully dealt with at p. 65.
