September Term, 1795.
MOORING versus STANTON.
Case, on a promissory note, the consideration of which appeared to be money paid by the plaintiff to a third person, for money lost at gaming by the defendant.
On a plea of the statute of gaming. 1788, 5, 633.

Haywood, J.
Money lent to play with, or to pay, at the time of loss, is not recoverable. But it is otherwise of a gaming debt paid by a third person, at the request of the loser.
