CHINESE GAMBLING.

An insight into the mode of Chinese gambling
given in the Court of General Sessions yesterday
when Charles Williams and William Ham. two sleepy
Celestials. were placed on trial for that offence
They appeared perfectly indifferent to the situation
and during the progress OF the trial occasionally
took nap. The gambling house complained Of was
at No. "a Mott street. and the owners were LETT
to the tender mercy of Assistant District Attor-
ney Rollins. On taking the stand Detective Ware
exhibited all the paraphornala Of the Chinese game
The cards used were Of the tniest pieces of wood,
while little squares Of the same material. though
colored differently when shown in court made the
spectators stare with curiosity. Another feature of
the game leaden bell. having no clapper;
long piece of steel, and square OF tin The num-
bers l. II. I'LL Nv. were marked on the tin. Accord
ing to the statement Of the detective,
he and Captain Brogan. going into
the of the basement at the place
mentioned, about half past o'clock the even
ing of the 18th inst, found thirty celestias in
full blast at their peculiar sport. The jury found
the prisoners guilty. and when asked what they had
to say Williams made q pigeon English speech. in.
which he said the game was an innocent one gotten
up for a needy fellow countryman. Judge Cowing
said that having been found guilty of Violation OF
the law it his duty to inhict severe punishment
In order to deter others or their from carrying
on the forbidden practice Of gambling. Williams
sent for thirty days and Ham for twenty days
to the Penitentiary. and each fined 81. The
sentence seemed to surprise them.
