The Mayor, after hearing the testimony, remanded Copeland to be indicted under the gaming law, and admitted him to bail in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance on the 2d Monday in February. The summary sentence of burning was passed upon the gaming tools seized by the officers. Wm. Selden, free negro, was arraigned to answer the charge of keeping the door of a faro-bank establishment; and it appearing by competent testimony that he opened the door to let two gentlemen out about the time the officers went in, on the night of Friday last, he was also remanded for indictment.
