2nd. That brother to Lusher must carry extra 

 weight on future occasions, as the winner of this 

 race. 



CASE XVII. 



The opinion of the stewards of the Jockey Club, 

 was requested by the stewards of Rochester and 

 Chatham races, on the following case : 



For the Chatham plate, the winner of a stake or 

 plate in 1825, was to carry 7 lbs. extra, and the 

 question was, whether a filly who had won a plate 

 subsequently to the entering for the Chatham plate, 

 but previously to the running for it, was to carry 

 7 lbs. extra. The stewards of the Jockey Club 

 gave it as their opinion, that she was not obliged 

 to carry 71bs. extra ; and they stated that they were 

 aware, that conflicting opinions had been given on 

 this question ; but on mature consideration, they 

 thought the better rule was, that a horse being 

 duly qualified at the expiration of the time of nam- 

 ing or entering for a stake or plate, should not be 

 affected, as to that stake or plate, by any subse- 

 quent event. 



This decision has been confirmed by an opinion 

 given on a similar case, transmitted to the stewards 

 of the Jockey Club, in 1832, from the Royal Cale- 

 donian Hunt Meeting.
