CHAPTER 141.
A supplement to an act entitled. An act taxing or licensing certain dealers in
lottery tickets and others, passed at December session, eighteen hundred
and twenty-two, chapter two hundred and thirty-two.

this is a, supplement, permission is not given to keep more than
one office or place for the sale of lottery tickets by obtaining a
license as therein directed; and it is necessary to remove these
doubts; Therefore,

one office for-
bid.

license directed to be obtained by the act to which this is a supple-
ment, shall not be construed to confer the privilege of using more

tickets in any lottery or lotteries authorised or not authorised, by
any law of this state.
