GAMBLING LAWS
lie ehgrossed bill to amend the laws to prevent unlaw

MIR Rutherford said lac elt disposed 10 give his Gorilla,
support TO any measure which would be likely suppress
gambling, but should vote against the bill under comsile
ration because he believed il could never be executed
All experience had shewn that crimes are more eTecta
~ prevented by the certainty than by the sereyty pu-
hshmenia resAlt which had been clearly proved by the
operation OF the laws against gaming own State lie
contended that the provisions OF this bill would render il
Intellectual 1t subjected those who played to the same
punishment with the exhibitors of the gaming tables
The unfortunate and misguided youth who i'm an TN .
guarded moment might be tempted to bet dollar at Faro
BANK would be liable 10 the fne-to incarceration
IN me same PrSon-and sube to the degradation
with the swndler by trade. What would be the conse-
quence! Few would be found willing 10 iniotn mr. .ven
10 subject themselves (unleSs they intended play the
"aoy oil being called witnesses against their
and acquaintance Those only who intended TO plav would
go near the gaming tables. The exhibitors and their vic.
Tins would be alone together without the disposition
10 INFORM against each other and secure from the observa-
hon oil bysanders. Indeed, the bill was precisely sue
as would suit the views and wishes of the gamblers 1t
mn IOtthf ha
would secure them from detection and place them ON a
level with many, who, though occasionally deceived from
Tue pain oil prudence and morality least the
acter oil gentlemen in society But if perchance nfor-
nation should sometimes be given against those who
played, our courts and jures would not Enforce the
statute against them. Public sympathy womb shield the m
from the operation Of law which reduced them 70
with black legs by profession. Mr. r. said he had aen
nvey observed the effect OF oar laws against gaming He
well recolected when the exhibitors of amin tables
liable to be punished by stripes the public whining
Due he had never heard OF instance of any such sen
tence being carried into effect. II public sentiment was
against 1t the law became dead letter, and was fl
nay repealed and such would be the fate of the
o'l' should 1t pass into law Public sentiment would
o tolerate The severity of the law 10 which he had inst
referred against gamblers by prof son sill less Womb il
sanction the execution of law which subjected th.,n IN
no hgher penalties than their deluded victims Mr. r.
said he would have voted for The BILL had proper Aiscr
mn''on been made in the punishment of the exhibitor,
ana the be'ters. But the proposed amendment, had
Jailed, he felt constrained against the bill as heinz
unequal ana unjust in its operation capable of execu
oh ana less calculated to produce the desired effect an
/ Tie law now in force
Mr.. Jones should vote for the bill IfPen,lemen will
