THE THREE-CARD TRICK.

THE CASE DISMISSED.

A NEW INFORMATION LAID,

At tho Police Court this morning Mr H. C. Baddeley, R.M., delivered the follow ing judgment in. the case of Frederick Austin, charged under the Police Of fences Act with playing at tho "three" card trick" on tho Ellerslio racecourse, as reported in a previous issue: — The information in this case is laid under the 28th clause of the Police Offences Act of 1884, sfch sub-section. That clause pro vides that any person who plays in any public place with any instrument of gaming at any pretended game of chance is a rogue and vagabond, and is liable to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Mr O'Meagher, for the accused, urged, on the, authority of the case Beg. v. Roach, heard before Erie, Justice, on July 12th, 1856, that cards were not instruments of gaming. In that case Roach was seen to play with three cards, and was charged with so doing under 5 Geo. 4, 0. 83, S. 4, the sub-section under which the present information is drawn being verbatim the same as the ono just quoted. The learned judge held in Roach 8 case that cards did not come within the designation "instrument of gaming. . For the information to be complete in this present case the pretended game of chance mu3t appear on the face of the information to have been played with an instrument of gaming, and as cards in this case wero stated' to be tho instrument of gaming re ferred to in the information, and as by Mr Justice Erie's decision cards are said not to be an instrument of gaming, the informa tion a 9 laid must fail. It is not a question of whether the three-card trick (as it is termed) is a lawful or an unlawful game, but whether tho information an laid can stand, seeing that in tho construction of the clause of the Act of Oeo. 4, which, as I have said, is exactly similar to the ono under which this information is laid, cards are held by so high an authority not to bo instruments of gaming, and therefore tho case Langrish v. Archer, Law Reports, 1882, vol. X., page 44, is not in point. Had the information been laid under the Bth clause of tho Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1881, the case might have been different, and possibly the quotation of Langrish v. Archer would have been of use in the case, as I might then have considered that the evidence showed that the cards were u*ed at an instru ment or means of gaming. The information is therefore dismissed.

Frederick Austin was then charged with the same offence under fche Gaming and Lotteries Act. He asked for an adjourn ment until to-morrow, Mr O'Meugher being unable to bs present, and ho was accord ingly remanded until to-morrow.
