The Select Committee Reports (to both the Lords and the Commons) submitted in 1844 provide a thorough account of gaming practices with particular reference to horse racing and gambling houses, the views of the time on gambling and the system of law which regulated it. These reports made many of the suggestions which were embodied in the 1845 Gaming Act-an Act which is still the backbone of British gaming law. Volume 2 of the Irish University Press set comprises Select Committee reports dealing with lotteries in 1808 and 1834, correspondence on lotteries conducted by Roman Catholic charitable institutions from 1870 and reports on gambling legislation in foreign countries.
