Portis v. Fall
Supreme Court of Arkansas
APPEAL from Jefferson Circuit Court in Chancery. Hon. J. A. Williams, Circuit Judge.
1Opinion of the CourtEnglish, C. J.
William N. Portis was arrested on warrants issued by Benjamin E. Eall, a justice of the peace of Jefferson county, and other magistrates, on charges of violating the law of the state by setting up and exhibiting a gambling device called keno, within the limits of Pine Bluff.
In October, 1877, he filed a bill on the chancery side of the circuit court of Jefferson county, praying an injunction against the prosecutions, and a temporary injunction was granted.
Afterwards a demurrer was sustained to the bill; the injunction dissolved; the bill, dismissed for want of equity, and Portis appealed.
