Opinions

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Nott.

Our act of Assembly makes all securities given in consideration of money won at cards void, even in the hands of an innocent endorsee. With the policy of the law the Court has nothing to do. It is sufficient that ita lex scripta est. This note is of that description. The verdict, therefore, is against law and evidence, and a new trial must be granted.

Colcoclc, Cheves, and Johnson, J. concurred.
