SLOT MACHINES.-Und er the new
S ate law licensing slot machines two
our hotel keepers procured licenses
for machines toto which money was to
be placed by players who if fortunate
enough to strike the right recess would
rtceive two, three, Tour five, six and
even ten.fold for nickels thus played,
but if unfortunate in falling to strike
they of course lost their nickel and re.
csived nothing. A complaint of the
existence of these machines having
reached the Mayor, he heard the case
this morning. The parties charged
were represented by Messrs. Greene
and Flanigen and they took the
ground thai the State could license by
statutory enactments gaming of any
kiud save ard except lottery, which
was prohibited by the constitution, and
that if the matter now before the court
had beeu heretofore classed with the
gaming prohibited by our laws the slot
machine license law repealed that IL
hibilion, inasmuch as said license
law, after mentioning slot machines for
merchandise, music and weighing, add
ed cor other devices that operate on
the nickel in-the-sot machine princl.
pie used for gain" The Mayor cited
the law against money being won by
any game of chance and said that while
the machines under consideration were
operated upon the nickel-in-the-slot
principle, so far as mechanism went, yet
ware they entirely different in the dis
tribution of results, for unless the regu'
lar slot machine was out Of repair it
furnishe merchandise, music and
weighing for specific coin and the ele.
ment OF chance did not belong to it.
aud il an affirmative enactment of
revenue license law lacked an atfirms-
tive repeal OF law against gambling
such reveruo license law cannot be
safely interpreted as referring TO any
thing but an pnquestioned Legitimate
slot machine, such as has been in gen.
eral use in our city A repeal may be
by implication, but in the language Of
Blackstone "only when tina matter Of
the last statute is so clear as to leave
no rooul for doubt as to its positive
meaning" 1t is also question
whether q repeal of q law against gam
bling properly belongs 10 revenue bill
unless the section containing the pen
atty is Incorporated, mentioned AID
amended in said bill. In support of
his decision the constitution was quoted
as follows: mo law shall embrace
more than one object which shall be
expressed in its title; nor shall any lew
be revised or amended with reference to
is title, but the act revised or the sec
ton amended shall he re-enacted aud
published at length" The machines
were declared gambling devices and
Judgment was withheld to give parties
an opportunity to appeal.
