CHAPTER 191.

A further SUPPLEMENT to the ACT, entitled, an Act to regulate Lotteries.
See original act, 1817, ch. 154, and notes thereto, ante page 673.
The 1st section of this act is superseded by 1826, ch. 268; and see
also 1827, ch. 160.
The 2d section is also in collision with, and therefore virtually abrogated
by 1825, ch. 210.
The 3d, 4th, and 5th sections are reprinted, although subsequent acts have
been passed upon the same subject, conflicting in some aspects with these
sections, but containing no positive repeal. The subsequent acts are enumera-
ted in the note to 1817, ch. 154, ante page 673.
