These methods may also be taken (where Justices shall<lb></lb>
think proper) against such Gaming Houses as Sell<lb></lb>
liquors by retail, as also against the Houses Comonly<lb></lb>
called Night houses which Harbour & entertain Thieves <lb></lb>
and pilfering people and are found by experience to be<lb></lb>
