This being Twelfth-day, his Majesty, the Prince of _Wales_, and the Kts Companions of the _Garter_, _Thistle_, and _Bath_, appeared in the Collars of their respective Orders. Their Majesties, the Prince of _Wales_, and three eldest Princesses, preceded by the Heralds, _&c._ went to the Chapel-royal, and heard Divine Service. The D. of _Manchester_ carried the Sword of state. The King and Prince made the offerings at the altar, of gold, frankincense and myrrh, according to annual custom. At night their Majesties, _&c._ play’d at _Hazard_ with the nobility, for the benefit of the _Groom-porter_; and ’twas said the K. won 600 guineas, the Q. 360. Pr. _Amelia_ 20, Pr. _Carolina_ 10, the E. of _Portmore_, and D. of _Grafton_ several thousands. At night Mr. _Sharpless_, high constable of _Holborn_ division, together with several of his petty constables went to search a notorious gaming-house behind _Grays-Inn-walks_, by vertue of a warrant under the hands and seals of the Rt. Hn. Ld. _Delawar_ and eleven other of his Majesty’s justices of the peace for the County of _Middlesex_, but the gamesters having previous notice, they all fled, except the master of the house, who was apprehended, and bound in a recognizance of 200 _l._ penalty, pursuant to the old statute of 33 _H._ VIII. It may be some sort of amusement to present our readers with the following list of officers established in the most notorious gaming-houses. 1. A _Commissioner_, always a proprietor, who looks in of a night, and the week’s accompt is audited by him and two others of the proprietors. 2. A _Director_, who superintends the Room. 3. An _Operator_, who deals the cards at a cheating game called _Faro_. 4. Two _Crowpees_, who watch the cards, and gather the money for the Bank. 5. Two _Puffs_, who have money given them to decoy others to play. 6. A _Clerk_, who is a check upon the puffs, to see that they sink none of the money that is given them to play with. 7. A _Squib_, is a puff of a lower rank, who serves at half salary, while he is learning to deal. 8. A _Flasher_, to swear how often the bank has been stript. 9. A _Dunner_, who goes about to recover money lost at play. 10. A _Waiter_, to fill out wine, snuff candles, and attend the gaming-room. 11. An _Attorney_, a _Newgate_ solicitor. 12. A _Captain_, who is to fight any gentleman that is peevish for losing his money. 13. An _Usher_, who lights gentlemen up and down stairs, and gives the word to the Porter. 14. A _Porter_, who is generally a soldier of the foot guards. 15. An _Orderly man_, who walks up and down the outside of the door, to give notice to the porter, and alarm the house, at the approach of the constables. 16. A _Runner_, who is to get intelligence of the justices meeting. 17. _Link-boys_, _Coachmen_, _Chairmen_, _Drawers_, _or others_, who bring the first intelligence of the justices meetings, or of the constables being out, at half a guinea reward.
