izers and conductors of the draw were charged under an Act of George 111 with "keeping au office or place for the purpose of exercising therein a lottery," but the magistrate decided, and the judges agreed, that the use of a room at the Hall' for the few minutes occupied in the drawing did not amount to "keeping an office or place," In reply, to the contention that, a regular right-down lottery-monger might evade the Act by moving from house to house, only using each house once, and thus not "keeping an office or place," Mr. Justice Darling observes that the successive use of such houses might be called a continuous act, and enmashed in the law accordingly. It is important, however, to note that the judges decline to say that the Agricultural Hall case might not have been hit by some other statute; so that the legality of the

charity raffle is by no means established.
