..a Gambling. 81.
Though gambling is carried on
to an alarming extent amongst the
labofn band poorer classes, we do
not see how 1t can be successfully
suppressed under the existing
laws. There are no banking games.
in this Parish. The vice of gamb-l
ling ia confined to petty games of.
card playing, and in this form we
despair Of spppressing it until the
Legislature shall enact more
stringent laws on this subject, and
such as are applicable to the coun-
try parishes. We however agree
with Your Honor that some active
measures should be at once adopt
Cd to suppress this growing vice.
In closing our report, we thank
the officers Of the Court for their
attentions during our labors.
Respectfully submitted. 1
