couRsma. 777 



5. A cote is when a greyhound goes endways by his fellow 

 and gives the hare a turn. 



6. A cote served for two turns, and two trippings or jer- 

 kins for a cote : if the hare did not turn quite about, she 

 only wrenched, and two wrenches stand for a turn. 



7. If there were no cotes given between a brace of grey- 

 hounds, but that one of them served the other at turning, 

 then he that gave the hare most turns won ; and if one gave 

 as many turns as the other, then he that bore the hare won. 



8. If one dog gave the first turn, and the other bore the 

 hare, he that bore the hare won. 



9. A go-by, or bearing the hare, was equivalent to two 

 turns. 



10. If neither dog turned the hare, he that led the last to 

 the covert won. 



11. If the dog that turned the hare served himself and 

 turned her again, it was as much as a cote, for a cote was 

 esteemed two turns. 



12. If all the course was equal, the dog that bore the hare 

 won : if the hare was not borne, the course was adjudged 

 dead ; that is, undecided. 



13. If a dog fell in a course, and yet performed his part, 

 he might challenge the advantage of a turn more than he 

 gave. 



14. If a dog turned the hare, served himself, and gave 

 divers cotes, and yet in the end stood still in the field, the 

 other dog, if he ran home to the covert, although he gave no 

 turn, was adjudged the winner. 



15. If by accident a dog was run over in a course, the 

 course was void, and' he that did the mischief was to make 

 reparation for the damage. 



16. If a dog gave the first and last turn, and there was no 

 other advantage between them, he that gave the odd turn won.
