Judge and Jury.-The company

Each person has to remember who is

the judge asks a question of any one,
it is not the person directly asked who
has to reply, but the person opposite
TO the judge. For instance, if the judge,
addressing one of the company, asks:
DO you like apples?' the person spo-

person who is opposite to him must
reply before the judge can count ten:
the penalty on failing to do this is a
forfeit. A rule with regard to the an

contain the words: Yes no

breaking of this rule forfeit may also
be claimed.
