The presentment in this case charged, that Brown and several others (who were named in the indictment) had been engaged in gaming and betting at cards, &c. The defendant, Brown, pleaded not guilty.

¶2Under the statutes against gaming, the presentment is *368sustained. The principal objection to it, as the court view it, is the joining in the same presentment sundry other offenders not connected in the gaming with Brown; but if these all be stricken out, the presentment will be left good against Brown.
