 whether the bet was to stand or not, was submitted

 meeting of the Jockey Club, at which it was ulti- 

 mately decided that the bet was void. 



CASE XV. 



A admitted that he had lost £100 to B, but de- 

 clined paying it, because he intended paying it to 

 C, who had a claim on B for £100. The stewards 

 decided that A must pay the £100 to B forthwith, 

 as no transfer could take place without the consent 

 of both parties.

 divided in the same proportion that had been 

 agreed upon in respect of the stakes.
