Constitutional prohibition op lotteries. Article XII., Section 36, of the State Constitution : “ No lottery shall be authorized by the State ; “ and the buying and selling of lottery tickets within the State is pro“hibited,” renders nugatory the third section of Act of June 3, 1873 (Paschal’s Digest, 7705), defining what shall be regarded as a gift enterprise, and imposing a license-tax on the proprietors of such business.</p>
