Bridge. o. X. d. says; Dealer leads from wrong
hand. is thcry time limit for enforcing penalty
That Is. the penalty be enforced after all nave
played to thc trick II the error Is not discovered
before the trick Is complete
The only code OF laws which Insists on penalty
for the dealers leading from the wrong hand Is
not by any means universally accepted anu where
II is the authority the proper ntcrprc ,ation OF this
Law a. edition OF 1903, Is disputed. IL the
view taken by THE sun is correct, this new Law
II is Intended TO replace the old Law ~. and must
be interpreted by the context OF the old law. This
would make II clear that the penalty for the dealer
eadlng out of turn. either from his own hand or
from dummy, must be demanded before the trick
Is complete
