Gaming contracts are covered by C. S., 2142. Such contracts are void and cannot be enforced in a court of justice. Orvis v. Holt, 173 N. C., 231; Bank v. Crafton, 181 N. C., 404.
Under certain circumstances the holder of a check or a note given to pay a gambling debt may recover against the endorser. Bank v. Crafton, supra. This is not such a ease as the endorser is not sued.
No error.
