marked that he did not want the other. This
made the next man count before he lifted, and

hand was all right. The other players, who had

Six cards having been given 70 moro than one
player It Is a misdeal. G would have been right
about BIS hand being foul, as he lifted any part Of
II, but for the fact that six cards were dealt TO G
also, which makes the whole deal void.

elder hand should know that II his point Is not
good he cannot score repic. as the scores are reck-
oned In order.
