““To constitute unlawful gaming, there must be a game played, and upon its result some article of value must be lost and won. Here was such game, and' the only point of inquiry is, was any article of value won by the defendant ? His liability to Groff” (the owner of the alley) “ was paid by Miller,” (the losing party,) “ because, in the event of being unsuc cessful, he had stipulated to pay it. This payment, though made to Groff, was for the use of the defendant; and the transaction was, in effect, the same as if the amount lost and won had been paid to the defendant instead of Groff, and he had received it from the defendant.””
