Doings In Gaming Houses
WALKING OFF WITH A L200 BANK-NOTE.
The runaway son of an extensive linen-draper went to a gaming
house in King Street, and pocketed a L200 bank-note from the
table. He was not kicked out, because it would not be safe for
the proprietors of these houses to run the risk of getting
involved in law; but he was civilly walked down-stairs by the
master of the establishment, who forbad him the house evermore.
The dashing youth, however, put both the money and the affront in
his pocket, and was only too thankful to get away in so good a
plight.
PERQUISITES OF GAMBLING HOUSE WAITERS.
A waiter in one of the gambling houses in St James's Street
received in Christmas boxes above L500. A nobleman, who had in
the course of a week won L80,000, gave him L100 of his winnings.
He was said to have actually borrowed of the waiter the money
which led to his extraordinary success!
