3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“* * * The argument is that there is no evidence that any of the defendants `made or accepted any bets as principals, or had the responsibility, as bookmakers, of paying off any bets that were made,' and, `at best,' they were mere aiders or abettors, and were not indicted as such; and that where, as here, a statute renders aiding, abetting or assisting in the commission of a misdemeanor a separate and distinct offense, the general rule that such aiders and abettors are indictable as principals is not applicable. Under the common law, all who are present, aiding and abetting in a felony, are treated as principals, while in the case of misdemeanors all who aid, abet or participate are deemed principals of equal guilt; and the statute under consideration is in this regard merely declaratory of the common law. State v. Woodworth, 121 N.J.L. 78 . The principle was given recognition by this court in State v. Flynn, 76 N.J.L. 473 .”
