THE NATIONAL COURSING CLUB, 
Public coursing is conducted under certain rules which have 
repeatedly been revised by a committee appointed at the Great 
Waterloo Meeting held at Liverpool. These supersede all previous 
rules, and also those drawn up by Mr. Thacker for the decision of 
courses. Rules for the guidance of judges are now appended to 
those for the regulation of meetings, and are supposed to be acted 
on, but it is often difficult to reconcile the actual awards with the 
theory laid down. 
To the National Coursing Club are now referred all complaints, 
of whatever description, connected with coursing, or any matters 
in dispute. 
The National Club consists of members selected by the various 
Coursing Clubs of the three kingdoms on the elective principle, 
the Clubs electing members in rotation, and eight retiring every 
year. 
Two General Meetings of the Club are held in each year— 
viz., one in London during the summer, and one at Liverpool 
during the Waterloo Coursing Meeting—for the despatch of 
business and for the revision and alteration of rules; but the 
Secretary shall be authorised, upon a requisition addressed to 
him in writing by any three of the secretary and stewards of a 
meeting, or upon a remonstrance signed by six public coursers 
who may happen to be present, to summon such special meetings 
as may be necessary from time to time, at the earliest convenient 
opportunity, for adjudication upon such questions as may be 
referred to the Club.
