358 NATIONAL COURSING CLUB. 



body of men, which shall be intended to preclude such appeal, 

 upon the occasion of an open meeting, shall be considered binding 

 upon the subscribers to such open meeting, or upon the National 

 Club. 



Meetings for the despatch of business, and for the revision or 

 alteration of rules, shall be held in London on the Saturday of the 

 Derby week, at noon, and at Liverpool on the day of entry for the 

 Waterloo Cup, at 3.0 P.M. ; but the secretary, upon a requisition 

 addressed to him in writing by any three stewards of a meeting, 

 or by six public coursers, members of an established club, may 

 summon a special meeting at the earliest convenient opportunity, 

 at the most convenient place. 



A month's notice must be given to the secretary of any business 

 or proposed alteration of rules, before it can be discussed at the 

 regular meetings of the National Club ; and at any extraordinary 

 special meeting nothing but the particular question for which that 

 meeting has been convened can be entertained. 



The National Coursing Club recommends that its code of laws 

 shall be adopted universally, clubs merely adding such special or 

 local regulations as may be required to adapt it to their own pecu- 

 liar use ; and as the principle of election to the National Club will 

 henceforward vest in clubs consisting of not fewer than twenty- 

 four members, they will be required annually to send a list of 

 their enrolment to the secretary of the National Club, and to con- 

 tribute their quota towards the expenses of the National Club, a 

 statement of which shall be declared by the secretary at the 

 Summer Meeting in each year.
