Morrow v. State
Morrow v. State, 12 Mo. 279 (1848)
Summary
APPEAL FROM ST. LOUIS CRIMINAL COURT.
We contend that it is undeniably true that this case is in every essential point like the case of Jacob Hawthorne vs. the State, and the opinion of the court in that case is a true and clear exposition of the law, fully sustained upon general principles, and the case of the State of Delaware vs. Phalen & Pain 3d Harrington R. 452.
By the act of the 26th day of February, 1835, all the powers to contract for the drawing of this lottery, that belonged to the Hospital Lottery was conferred upon it, and up to the time of the law of 19th Dee., 1842, repealing all laws authorizing the drawing of any lottery, there was-a vested right by contract in Gregory which that act could not impair.
