GAMING ACT 1835 - SECT 1
Securities given for considerations arising out of illegal
transactions not to be void, but to be deemed to have been given
for an illegal consideration.

1.] ... every note, bill, or mortgage which if this Act had not
been passed would, by virtue of the said several lastly hereinbefore
mentioned Acts or any of them, have been absolutely void, shall be
deemed and taken to have been made, drawn, accepted, given or
executed for an illegal consideration; and the said several Acts
shall have the same force and effect which they would respectively
have had if, instead of enacting that any such note, bill, or
mortgage should be absolutely void, such Acts had respectively
provided that every such note, bill, or mortgage should be deemed
and taken to have been made, drawn, accepted, given, or executed
for an illegal consideration: Provided always, that nothing herein
contained shall prejudice or affect any note, bill, or mortgage
which would have been good and valid if this Act had not been
passed.
