GAMBLING.

COURT OF KING'S 13ENCII, OCTOBER u.

CARTER V. ABBoT, lIOLDSWORTII, AND DAVIS.
Mr. GURNEY stated, that this was an action brought
by the assignee of a bankrupt, named Abbitball,
against the defendants, as proprietors of a certain
gambling-house, situate No. .5, King-street, Saint
James's, to recover certain large sums of money lost
by the bankrupt in that house previous to his bank-
ruptcy, at the unlawful game of Rouge et Noir.—
The Learned Counsel, in an eloquent statement,
opened the case to the Jury, and having proved the
preliminary steps relative to the bankruptcy, peti-
tioning creditor's debt, commission, &c. next called

the bankrupt.
Mr. Abbitball, formerly a merchant, proved that
in 1820 the three defendants kept a house for gam-
bling in King-street, St. James's. Witness had seen
Rouge et Noir played at that house. The defendants
acted as owners of the house and proprietors of the
bank. Visitors might play for any sum from ss. to
£lOO. The usual time of beginning to play was nine
in the evening, and it ceased at two. If the bank
was out before two, they would sometimes leave off
as soon as it was exhausted. He had sometimes seen

LOVE CASE EXTRAORDINARY!
Friday, hlr. Juan Grow:, 55 year sof age, was brought before
(i. It. .iressitax, Esq. at Dow-street, charged with having used
:'.re..tA to Miss Elisabeth Newberry, and Mr. Wood, her bra-
:her-in-law, ie consequence of which they apprehended se:r-
oast danger.
Mi's Newberry is a Lady of respectable family, and resides
deity en an estate of her own, adjoining the village of Benson,
in Hattedshirc. Several years ago the defendant, then in a
state of comparative poverty, contrived to get introduced to her,
and pestered her for some time with his attentions, in spite of her
positive and indignant rejection. At length the defendant met with
:mode r Lady, possessed of a fortune of about sCSOO a-year, and'
agaiast her (or it) he commenced opetationa. This Lady, after a
short courtship, bestowed upon him leer person and her fortune.
Bet iu something less than twelve mouths, Mr. J. Grant was once
store turned loose and unshackled upon the weed, a vigorous
widower of a little more than SO, with an income of £BOO a-year.
With this additional attraction, jie renewed his attacks upon Miss
N,•iiveerry, who rejected him in the most decided terms. He
followed her from one place to another. At length, about four-
tern months ago, it was found necessary to apply to the hlagis-
trates for protection, and Mr. Grant was taken into custody,
aiel bound over to keep the peace fur one year. On the very
slay his recognizance expired, he left London for Benson,
aeiiu to annoy her with his importunities. He traced her sub-
sequently to London, and up to the hour when application was
L:..de to the Magistrates, he had continued to persecute her in
t•t: way already described. Remonstrances were perfectly use.
Ls. Tu Miss Newberry he said several times, " If you will
Let have me, you must take care of yourself." Apprehension
wash,t. laened by the recollection of an occurrence in the life of
Ole. orant, which at the time engaged the public attention.—
Same years ago he attempted to force his attentions upon a
aieughter of Viscount Dudley and Ward, and met, as in the pre. I
sent case, with a refusal. He made some violent attack upon
Ler in public, and a Mr. Townsend interfered to protect her.
Upon which Grant drew forth a pistol, and fired at him, but
luckily missed his object. He was tried for maliciously shoot-
ing, and received sentence of death, hut it was afterwards corn-
muted to transportation for a certain term of years. After his re-
turn to this country he began his attacks upon Miss Newberry.
Mr. Grant declared, in no very gentle terms, that the accusa-
tion was false. He accused Mr. Wood indirectly of perjury,
and talked of the encouragement which he averred he had re-
ceived formerly ft om Miss Newberry, whom, he added, be loved
mast ardently, and would go all over the world to serve and to
tender happy.
Mr. Ain:saute. asked Miss Newberry if she ever gave encore.
ragement to his addresses? I
Miss Newberry, bursting into tears, declared she ;sever had.
The sight, nay even the name of him, was abhorrent to her.
Mr. Grant declared this to he untrue, and, in proof of it, read
the following conclusion of one of ker letters;" That you may
soon meet with a Lady who can feel that tenderness for you
which was entertained by your late wife is the earnest wish of—
" ELIZASZTSI NSVIBBILAT."
MS views were of the most honourable kind ; he wished to
make her his wife, and he knew of no law which could compel
a man to desist from paying his addresses to a Lady, if it was his
pleasure to do so.
Mr. MINSIJULL.—But there is a law, Sir, to protect a Lady
from insult and persecution.
Grant.—There is no law to compel a man to desist from pale
leg his addresses to a Lady, and you will be wrong if you exer-
cise any such authority.
Mr. MINSHULL asked Mr. Wood and Itlias Newberry if, upon
their oaths, they could declare that they apprehended their lives
Ife t/e in danger in consequence of the threats of the defendant?
They both answered, and Miss Newberry did so very ensphae
alcaiiy, in the affirmative.
Mr. Matsema..—Then, Mr. Grant, I must order you to find.
sacties to keep the peace, yourself in £2OO, and two responsible
tenons in £lOO each.
Mr. Grant said he should not find bail, but would goto prison,
add was committed to the House of Correction.

poke out the officer's eye with his umbrella when 'he went to
apprehend him.

them replenish the bank to recover their hiss ; but
they never failed to leave off if the bank was a win-
ner, which happened 19 times out of 20, owing to
the advantages of the game, or the intoxication or
frenzy of the players. There was always wine on
the table, free. Two or three days before the 3d 'of
November, 1820, the witness met Holdsworth, xvlio
pressed him to go to the house, witness having dis-
continued his visits in consequence of being a loser,
many thousands. Witness went to the house on the
Sd of November, and played. The defendants were
present, presiding over the game. Witness took
£lOOO into the house, and when he quitted it he had
£l3O left, having lost £B7O. Witness went again to
the house on the 21st of November, and took about
£4OO. Holdsworth and Davis were there on this.
occasion. Witness again lost £3OO and some small
notes. On the 27th witness went again, and again
lost upwards of £440, in two £2OO and some small
notes. Witness lost all these sums to the bank.
Cross-examined.— Has the honour to be an African
by birth. Has been in Paris, but never was connected
with a gambling-house there, though he had some
securities on one. Witness had played in Paris, and
won and lost a good deal. Was now about thirty
years of age. The money he expected to raise by his
actions against gambling houses was not equal to
what he had lost by £40,000. Never made an offer
of taking money from the defendants, though they
had made repeated offers to him. Was at Abbot's
house last night, in consequence of the negociations
existing between them. Holdsworth proposed to give
the creditors £750. Witness never agreed to take
any certain sum. Witness had proposed to take a thou-
sand pounds, subject to the approval of his creditors.
Had been to Holdsworth's house several times in the
last ten days. Had mentioned the reluctance he had to
appear as a witness on this occasion. Had brought ac-
tions against one house himself, and his assignees had
brought actions against four other houses: only one
action had been settled; had received money, as a loan,.
from a house in which he had last several thousands:
They would not lend him the money till he gave
them a release. Did not take any one to be a wit-
ness of his losing. Did not take the attorney's clerk
as a witness; he went by accident one day to No. 5,
King-street; his name was Duncan. Had said •to
Holdsworth that Duncan and fifty other persons had
seen him play, and lose a great deal of money ; but
never told Holdsworth he had given money to Dun-
can that he might play, and remain unsuspected.
Lots of people might have followed him, curious to
see him lose so much money. Never won much
money on balance, though he might have won on a
particular night: on one occasion he won 1,5001. in
one house in one week. The 40,000/. he had lost
came into his hands bribe way of commerce. Since
his bankruptcy he had played twice, and might have
lost 1501. His father -had given, him considerable
sums since his bankruptcy. If it pleased Gon, he.
would pay his.creditors-20s. in the pound, notwith-
standing they had released him. On a farmer occa-
sion witness stopt for 50,0001. he then assigned to his
creditors all his property, and they had, he believed,
received several shillings in the• pound under that
assignment. The assignment was made in-1810, and'
his creditors were still receiving money under it.
Re-examined 7-The creditors received the money
paid to compromise the action alluded to. Witness
had no interest in any• of the actions. Went to Mr.
Abbot's last night, at his particular request. Duncan

CARTER D. OLDFIELD AND HENIIETT.
This was another action brought by the same
plaintiff; and under similar circumstances with the
last, to reco%er back money lost by Mr. Abbitball at
a gambling-house, No. 28, Bury-street, which was
kept by the defendants.
Mr. Gustney, very shortly opened the case, de:.
dining to make any general remark, as the Jury had
probably been in Court during the former trial.
The witness was cross-exannned by Mr. Mamas.
'as to the history of his life, and gave the same ac=
count as that which had been elicited on the previous
trial. He also admitted havidg lost about 1581:
since his bankruptcy, but he had not been in any
gaming-house in London. He had been induced to
play a little at a club at Cheltenham; and at Brightoti
a Frenchman introduced him to a house, plied him
with champagne, and told him that he would shew
him how he might make his fottune, by which he lo.t
all the money in his possession. •
The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE left it to the Jury to say
whether they believed Mr. Abbitbal ; and they found
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £7.0:
Two other actions of a similar kind against the
proprietors of other gambling-houses, stand is the
paper for trial.
