PENDANT. as follows:
The defendant In this case Is charged
with violating the provisions OF the law
entitled "An Act to restrict gaming" by
conducting u game Of faro on the irst
floor or story Of 4 building. The evidence
introduced by both tho prosecution and

whether the room In which tho defendant
conducted tho faro game mentioned In
the complaint Is q room Of tho first door
or story Of the building. No. 0 North q

complaint are admitted. The first ques.
ton which naturally arose on tho trial.

the question In issue.
As the law charged to be violated by tho
defendant uses the word story, without

other law has been presented 10 the court
In which any legal definition OF that word
was contained. or which would aid the
court in determining its meaning ~ con-
tanned In the statute regarding gaming.

must be held or discharged. especially n
the question IL one concerning which ties.
timony could be fully and und~erstAndingly
given only by those whose time, attention
and study had been particularly directed
10 the business Of building or architecture.
