Head Matter:
United States v. Gadsby.
An indictment will not lie under the Virginia act, for suffering gaming in the defendant’s house; because the act has given an action of debt to the informer.
Indictment for suffering gaming in his public inn, contrary to the Act of Virginia, January 19,1798, c. 2, § 3.

Opinion:
This indictment was quashed, upon the same ground upon which the Court instructed the jury in the ease of United States v. Simms, yesterday. See that case in the Supreme Court of the United States, in 1 Cranch, Rep. 252.
