stIs :Hnm to be used for selling lottery tickets
lottery tickets could be 6aa sta5nS where

to pay certain monies on certain contingencies
The evidence for the State to the effect that
Mr.. Carr was in the habit of taking letters from
the post-oiice, in Baltimore which we're addressed
to Emory Co, Lewiston Co., Carr & Co., and
f.. N. Carr; that he was arrested by constable
Pearce, at the lithograph establishment of HOen &
Co., on suspicion of selling lottery tickets in the
State, and some ifty-three letters unopened, ad-
dressed to these parties, were found upon his per-
son; that he acknowledged that he represented the
firm of Emory Co., but stated that his business
was all transacted at Wilmington, Delaware where
all his clerks had gone. These letters were never
opened, and subsequently were returned to Carr
The testimony of DR.. Morris, Postmaster, went to
show that in April last, acting under the impress
sion that the firm of Emory Co. was fictitious
and also that Carr was doing a fraudulent business
he refused to deliver any letters directed to Emory
u Co. to Mr.. Carr, and brought the matter to the
attention of the POst-offce Department at Wash
lngtOn. large number of letters, some 600 or
l,iOO, which had accumulated at the Baltimore
Postollce during the period of about 80 days.
were also sent to Washington. These letters were
afterwards sent back to Dr. Morris, with their en-
closures, and delivered to Mr.. Carr who gave re-
ceipt for the same. They contained between thirty
seven and thirty mine hundred dOars-they were
orders for lottery tickets, directed to Emory & Co.,
Box 5l3, Baltimore Post. office. The State then
read to the jury lottery circular dated Baltimore
March 18th, 1850, signed by Emory &
Co., inviting purchases in one of the
schemes of the Delaware State Lotteries
circulars similar to this. it was proven by DR..
Morris, had been sent to him from parties in other
States.-There no testimony for the defence
The submitted without argument Before
retiring, one of the jurors demanded of the Court
to know whether directing these circulars to par
ties out of the State amounted to the same as cir
culating them within the State. The Court said
that if the Jury believed that the act of publica-
ton was done in the city of Baltmore-no matter
to whom the circulars were directed-then the ira
verser was amenable to the law.-The Jury, after
an absence of about twenty minutes, came in and
rendered verdict of guilty on the sixth count of
the indictment-for publishing a certain account
where lottery tickets could be purchased-and not
guilty on the other counts. The Court imposed
the highest penalty, and fined the traverser 500
and costs, total Sl43. Charles II. Pitts, ESQ., for
delence.-Mary Mccall, indicted for stealing on
the "a OF July m last lot OF wearing apparel, be-
longing to Thomas W. Atkinson, was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty'-State Us. Mrs. Sophia Carr
indicted for violating the lottery laws of the State
on the 23d May last. The indictment contains four
counts: For selling lottery ticket to F. A. Sluter
for selling lottery ticket to George w. Navy,
agent of Francis A. Sluter. The other counts
charge the sale of certificates in the same manner
1t was in evidence for the State that in May last
heSsrS urllHIn, hyatt ~ TO-, OF Baltimore, re-
ceved a letter from Francis A. Sluter, of Jefferson
Texas, dated the Sd of May, co. containing the left
halt OF ten dollar Louisiana bank note, and also
letter addressed to Emory Co., Baltimore. The
letter to e. IL. d Co. contained order for lottery
tickets, at the time stating that the other half
of the note was in the enclosure to Emory & Co.
After the receipt of the letter Mr.. Navy the conf
dental clerk of the house, proceeded to the post
office and made inquiry tor the firm of Emory &
Co.; he told that the firm was not IN existence,
| but represented by Mr.. f. n Carr, who resided at
l62 w est Saratoga street, and he also advised
to send the money back to his correspondents On
returning to the store the letter accidentally came
the notice of Wm. r. Pennman, a member at that
time of the Grand Jury, at whose request Mr. Navy
went to the house of Carr. There he Mrs. Carr
and made known his business She told Mr.. Navy
that her husband was of the firm of Emory Il
Co.; that they had tickets in Baltimore on ac.
count of the stringencv Of the laws but that the
der would be sent to Wilmington, and the tickets
sent that they received great deal of money in that
way. Upon these statements Mr.. Navy handed
Mrs. Carr the order, with the half bank note,
and also the letter addressed to Emory & Co. which
was unopened, and then departed. Upon the re-
turn of Mr.. Carr to his house, the order and half
note, and also the letter to Emory Co. still unopen-
ed, were nback by him to Messrs. G. fl. Co.. de-
cning to fill the order in Baltimore. The case was
fully argued before the jury upon the law of the
the point being whether sale of lottery tick cts
was made by Mrs. Carr-the defence contending
that sale was made by the mere fact of taking
the money, but that to constitute actual sale,
there must be a conveyance OF some individual sub
ect matter, which, it alleged, was not shown in
this The jury after a short absence came in and
rendered general verdict of guilty Not sentenced
