178 THE LAWS OP COURSING. 



shall inquire of the committee whether he is to decide 

 the course or not ; if in the negative, the dogs must be 

 immediately put again into the slips. 



11. When a course of an average length is so equally divided 



that the judge is unable to decide it, the owners of the 

 dogs may toss for it ; but if either refuse, the dogs must 

 be again put in the slips, at such time as the committee 

 may think fit ; but if either dog be drawn, the winning 

 dog shall not be obliged to run again. 



12. In running a match, the judge may declare the course 



to be undecided. 



13. If a member shall enter more than one greyhound, bond 

 fide his own property, for a prize, his dogs shall not run 



together, if it be possible to avoid it ; and if two grey- 

 hounds, the property of the same member, remain in to 

 the last tie, he may run it out, or draw either, as he shall 

 think fit. 



14. If a greyhound stand still in a course when a hare is in 

 his or her sight, the owner shall lose the course ; but if 

 a greyhound drop from exhaustion, and it shall be the 

 opinion of the judge that the merit up to the time of 

 falling was greatly in his or her favour, then the judge 

 shall have power to award the course to the greyhound 

 so falling, if he think fit 



15. Should two hares be on foot, and the dogs separate before 

 reaching the hare slipped at, the course shall be unde- 

 cided, and shall be run over again at such time as the 

 committee shall think fit, unless the owners of the dogs 

 agree to toss for it, or to draw one dog.
