case of Caroline c. Pratt, widow of Charles L.

lifetime Mr.. Pratt had extensive dealings. Tho
original bill was filed by Mrs. Pratt, charging
that the dealings between her husband and de-
PENDANTS were gambling transactions. Tho

were sales and purchases made for Pratt by the
defendants. and not wagers between them. Tho
Court OF Errors concurs In this conclusion.
Justice GUNNER in writing the opinion says:
hen a court OF equity, upon bill and cross
bill. has ordered an accounting for the purpose
OF ascertaining the sum due from tho complain.
ant to tho defendant, q pending suit at law by
the latter for the same debt, under tho heirs and
