Report of the Committee of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, to Whom Were Referred the Message of the Governor and Sundry Memorials ... Read, February 10, 1832 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Report of the Committee of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, to Whom Were Referred the Message of the Governor and Sundry Memorials Relating to the Abolition of Lotteries: Read, February 10, 1832
The committee have not deemed it necessary to investigate the point, whether the grant under which the lottery privileges are enjoyed, is to be construed most favorably for the commonwealth or the company, for the natural and obvious meaning of the act requires not the introduction of the doctrine. And before they state their grounds Of construction, they conceive it proper to say that they consider it immaterial to the correct understanding of the privilege, whether it were conferred as a bounty, or for any other purpose. They hold that grants, by way Of bounty, are as precise in their limits, as any other legislative enactments, and to be scru tinized upon the same principles. Considering the gift ofthe lottery privilege as a bounty, may be important when viewing it in re ference to the application of its proceeds, but the committee cannot perceive what Operation the yiewing it in that light can have upon the ascertainment of its limits.
