State v. Crowder (39 Tex. 47, 1873)

Walker, J.

The sufficiency of the indictment in this •case depends upon whether the word gambling may be substituted for the word gaming, as adjectives qualifying-the noun “house.” We think the words are equivalent in this sense, under Article 2034, Paschal’s Digest, which declares that any thing or act that would be deemed a nuisance at common law shall be indictable as a misdemeanor under the statute. This indictment is good, and the court erred in quashing it.

The judgment is therefore reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
