Faf from recommending, like some Of our prt

Their powers should be restricted within thei

Much has been said by previous juries in regar
to The sale II this State Of lottery tickets, an
against gambling houses, owing to the inefticienc
OF the law on the subject. No information ha
been brought before us. We consider that game
OF hazard have the most baneful and demoralizin
tendencies upon the poorer classes, and are sur
to, lead to idleness and dstaste for homes
labor. By legalizing gambling houses, til
| stigma of shame now felt by the youn
and inexperienced, in being seen to indulge j
those evil pastimes, would vanish before the sane
ton OF the law, and an increase of reckless vic
would be the consequence. The State, like care
ul parent, should watch jealousy over the evil
| fuenees to which her children are exposed, an
| pass law which, by holding out recompense
the lniormer, would become effective.
