1Opinion of the CourtMacDonald, J.
To an information charging him with the crime of policy playing in violation of General Statutes § 53-298, the defendant pleaded not guilty and elected trial to the court. Following trial he was found guilty and has appealed, assigning as error (a) the court’s denial of his motion to correct the finding; (b) the court’s failure to make adequate inquiry as to whether he had knowingly waived his right to be represented by counsel; and (c) the court’s denial of his motions for a continuance to obtain an attorney or to prepare his case pro se, and to obtain witnesses on his behalf.
