JAMES VT0RDoN BENNETT, Esq:


Can you inform me and our city fathers, whether
Raflling tor articles comes under the appelIaon and
denomination OF gambling or not II strikes me
that II does Is 1t not game of chance Is raf-


fling less inlquitous and criminal than card or otlier
games that are prohibited to those who take out IL
censes Tor taverns, &c.l Are not games with dice
among the prohibitions in granting licenses!


As great numbers are feeced Of their hard earn
lngs by rafng, and If it comes under the denom-
nation OF gambling, as think il does, allow me to
call the attention OF those whose duty il to the evil
cense from every person and house where rafting is
practised, no matter what the articles raed for con-
sist OF. T. M
