The magistrate asserted when certain contemp-

of having defraudcd another out Of $500 by dis
honest poker that such cheats should be brought
TO court. but horsewhipped and dropped OF the
window. Which all very well as personal private
sentiment But what OF the duty Of this
magistrate?
Gambling is crime in New York state. like in
most other states. Win lose in a square or q
crooked game. those who engage In it violatOrs
OF the law. The magistrate properly may hate the
cheat, but that should not blind him his duty.
The defrauded one also ha committed ofense of
which cognizance should be taken.
In New York. of all cities. gambling should be
rooted out. for there, has been demonstrated
many times. il is a well-sprpg of officials and

crime even TO murder for hire.
Magistrates should be the last persons TO exhibit
