FINANCIAL THEORIES. ‘The Warniuge of Nicholas Kuickerbecker. 70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘How long can we go on and keep afoat upon the false theortes and lawless practices now dominant? We may perhaps go on as long as we have national bonds to ex- port and Europe will take them at half the value which they express, or something wore; or as long as we can extract from the people (as duties) in the price of mer. chandise imported for consumption gold enough to pay ‘the interest, a0 as to add forty or fifty per cent to the Price of the merchandise here, and generously throwing in the premiam on the amount paid to bondholders as interest, We may perhaps go on til} every dollar of our coin is exported, or until the people become weary of paying exorbitant and fabulous prices for foreign mer chandise and the imports fall off till the amount will not pay duties enough in gold to discharge the annual in- terest.

He said that he made the arrest because be thought the enterprise was a lottery, and was in viola- tion of the laws of the State; that he was ied to think ‘80 from the statements contained in the printed bills and circulars: from the establishment No 653 Broadway, and frow statements made to him by persone engaged there, that every ticket holder would not get a 120, P countel for the defence objected to the introduction of any statements made be outside parties as evidence. The objection Justice Ledwith, who instructed witness to the effe it he could not offer in evidence any statements made by parties other than the defendant; that if the made Mr. Schoonmaker claimed that the arrest was made under the twenty-sixth section of article four, volume two, of the fourth edition Revised Statates of the State of New York, in which any lottery or enterprise partaking of the nature of a lottery, under any name whatsoever ix deemed 2 misdomeanor. Assistant District Attorney Bedford stated that he could nat this enterprise as a lottery in the mean- ing 0” the statute. A lottery is where money is won by the chance drawing of numbers. and where there are Prizes and blanks. This is a distribution; there is no chance; every ticket drawing a prize of more or leas value; ‘it is not a game of chance. Rergeant Schoonmaker claimed that he had been in- formed by eome parties that there would be blanks. Counsel, for the enterprise, claimed that such was not the cage, and that every ticketholder would draw a prize. There being no further testimony in the case, Justice Ledwith decided, in accordance with the opinion of Mr. Bedford, that this enterprise could not be regarded as a lottery in the meaning of tho statute, and that the com- plaint must be dismissed, The case was thereupon dis- continued and Mr. Regan discharged. ift Enterprise—A Dis- ed Crowd.
