to divide the Stakes, and Brother to Lusher 

 walked over. 



Two questions were submitted to the stewards 

 of the Jockey Club, who decided — first, that the 

 bets should be put together and divided in the 

 same proportion that had been agreed upon in re- 

 spect of the stakes; secondly, that Brother to 

 Lusher must carry extra weight on future occa- 

 sions as the winner of this race. 



Kemark: Achilles was equally liable to carry 

 extra weight as Brother to Lusher in any subse- 

 quent race where such penalty was imposed on the 

 winner of a sweepstakes. The act of walking 

 over makes no distinction where the parties divide 

 equally. 



12. — A Bet Lost not alloived to he Paid to a Third 

 Party, 



A admitted that he had lost lOOZ. to B ; but de- 

 clined paying it because he intended paying it to 

 C, who had a claim on B for lOOZ. 



The stewards decided that A must pay the lOOZ. 

 to B forthwith, as no transfer could take place 

 without the consent of both parties.
