craft to deceive and impose upon his Majesty's subjects, by playing
or betting at unlawful games, and had no legal or visible means of
gaining a livelihood; the court, therefore, adjudged them to be rogues
and vagabonds, and committed them, in execution, to the gaol at
Lewes, there to remain till the next Quarter Sessions, and then
to be further dealt with according to law. A short private
conference followed between the magistrates and Mr Adolphus, the
result of which was that Mr Walker was not proceeded against, but
entered into a recognizance not to permit any kind of gaming to
be carried on in his house.
