THEIR HISTORY, RISE AND PROGRESS. 385 



This Statute and the 17 & 18 Yict. c. 38, which is supple- 

 mentaiy to it, make a variety of regulations and enact- 

 ments which will be considered, both with reference to the 

 decisions which have been come to under the old law, and 

 as showing the present state of the law of Racing and 

 Gaming. 



It may here be mentioned, that the Statutes now in 

 force with reference to Racing and Graming, are 33 Hen. 

 8, c. 9, sections 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 ; but only 

 so far as they relate to unlawful Graming ; 2 Greo. 2, c. 28, 

 s. 9 ; 12 Geo. 2, c. 28 ; 13 Geo. 2, c. 19, sections 9 and 10; 

 18 Geo. 2, c. 34, sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 ; 5 & 6 Will. 4, 

 c. 41, which incorporates and alters 9 Ann. c. 14, s. 1, and 

 given in the Appendix ; 8 & 9 Yict. c. 109 ; 16 & 17 Vict, 

 c. 119; 17 & 18 Vict. c. 38, which is a supplementary Act 

 to 8 & 9 Vict. c. 109 ; and 37 & 38 Vict. c. 15. 



By the 19 & 20 Vict. c. 82, the duty of 3/. 17.s'. payable 

 on every Horse kept or used for the purpose of Racing {i) 

 was made payable for every Horse which should start or 

 run for any Plate, Prize or sum of money or other thing {k) . 



The whole of this Act is, however, repealed by the 37 & Repeal of 



38 Vict. c. 16, ss. 11, 21, and the duty on Race Horses is 5"*^°^ 



T T ^ ^ "^ Kace Horses, 



abonshed. 



By an Act passed in this Reign the duty on importing 

 a Horse was reduced to 1/. (/) ; and now Horses may be 

 imported duty free {m). Acts were passed from time to 

 time to indemnify persons connected with Art Unions 

 from certain penalties {n) ; and at last an Act was passed 

 under which they may be legalized by charter (o), which, 

 was supplemented by another Act to remove certain doubts 

 which had arisen as to their legality (p). The 6 & 7 Will. 

 4, c. 66, was also amended so as more effectually to prevent 

 the advertising of foreign and other illegal Lotteries (q). 



After the passing of 8 & 9 Vict. c. 109, an attempt was 

 made to set up Racing Lotteries and Sweeps, and it was 

 suggested diuing the argument of the case of Gatty v. 

 Field (r), that under the proviso of the 18th section of the 

 above Statute, Derby Lotteries were no longer illegal.
