LAW INTELLIOBNCE.

COURT OF CHANC FRY, JULY 25.

GAMBLING TRANSACTION. •
lsltiansostre v. Law.—This cafe came before the
Chancellor on a demurrer to a bill filed for a difco-
very. It appeared that Mrs. *Law, ezecutrte"vf
George Law, late proprietor of the Sherrtia•Coffeet!
houfe, St. James's Rreet, found amongft ber, bOf
band's papers, feveral notes and memorandums of
money advanced to the Plaintiff, which fhe put in 11
fuit, but the Plaintiff alledging they were advance,:
for gambling purpofes and trantadrions, filed this bill
for a difcovery, and called upon Mrs. -Law to fay
whether her hufhand did not keep a common gamb-
ling houfe, and whether faro, hazard, and other it
legal games were not cnntlantly played there'? To
this (he demurred, obferving that such a difclofure,
if (he could in truth make it, would fubjea her to
certain penalties, and confecusences extremely incon
venient and prejudicial. Thi, day the demurrer came
on to be argued, and Mr. Agar contended, that it
did not neccffarily follow that the would be fubjeel
to penalties becailfc gambling was carried on in 'ler
houfe ; for inllance, cht fs, billiards, and rougret noir
were not penal games, wilsirt the Itartne. Nothing,
he laid, could he mote intoxicating than the laR de•
fcript.inn of game, ;sad it wa, a notori us Lia, that
one of the li Get man Potentates drew at one rime
attnoa the whole of his revenue from encouraging
and countenancing that kind of play at Spa, where.
the nobili y of all countries at that period !clotted.
'But it wac clear that the notes were given for game
blitag tranfaetions ; they were for too guineas, 200
guineas, and In on, difdaining the vulgar tnumeratinn
of pounds
L ELDON oblerved, that that fad could not be
confidered as conclutive, as the game played in the
emt t f Chancery, as far as Connie' were concerned,
was for guineas. In ihntt, he thought the demurrer
flout ; Le allowed ; there was no fplitting of hairs in
ttanfaelions that wet e penal, and he remembered an
obfervarion of the late Lord Kenyon, in a cafe ftmi
lar to the ()regent, '' that if the party thnuld be con
vitfted of keeping a common gamblingli.nife, though
the was a Coun cis, tie thould thinOitrafell hound to
pit her in the pillory." He thould therefore allow
the demurrer.
