meeting, or for any payment required by a deeision of the National 

 Club, or for subscriptions due to any club entitled to have repre- 

 sentatives in the National Club. As regards bets, however, this 

 rule shall only apply when a complaint is lodged with the Secretary 

 of the National Club within six months after the bet becomes 

 due. On receipt of such complaint the Secretary shall give notice 

 of the claim to the person against whom it is made, with a copy 

 of this rule, and if he shall not pay the bet, or appear before the 

 next meeting of the National Club, and resist the claim success- 

 fully, he shall be considered a defaulter. 



33. Judge or Slipper Interested. — If a Judge or Slipper be 

 in any way interested in the winnings of a greyhound or grey- 

 hounds, the nominator in each case, unless he can prove satisfac- 

 torily that such interest was without his cognisance, shall forfeit 

 all claim to the winnings ; and if any nominator or owner of grey- 

 hounds shall give, or offer, or lend money or anything of value to 

 any Judge or Slipper, such owner or nominator shall not be allowed 

 to run dogs in his own or any other person's name during any 

 subsequent period that the Club may decide upon. 



34. Any person who is proved to the satisfaction of the National 

 Club to have been guilty of any fraudulent or discreditable conduct 

 in connection with coursing, may, in addition to any pecuniary 

 penalty to which he may be liable, be declared incapable to run or 

 enter a greyhound, in his own or any other person's name, during 

 any subsequent period that the Club may decide upon. 



35. Bets on an Undecided. — All bets upon an undecided 

 course shall stand, unless one of the greyhounds be drawn. All 

 bets upon a dog running further than another in the stake, or 

 upon the event, shall be p. p., whatever accident may happen ; but 

 bets upon a deciding, as upon every other single course, are off if 

 the course is not run.
