CARDS PLAYED IN ERROR.
58. Should the third hand play before the second, the fourth may play
before his partner.
59. Should the third hand not have played, and the fourth hand play
before his partner, the latter may be called on to win or lose the
trick.
60. Should any one have omitted playing to a former trick, and such
error be not discovered till he has played to the next, the adversaries
may claim a new deal. Should they decide that the deal stand good, the

61. If any one play two cards to the same trick, or mix his trump or
other card with a trick to which it does not properly belong, and the
mistake is not discovered till the hand is played out, he is answerable

65. A player may ask his partner whether he has not a card of the suit

quitted, subsequent turning and quitting does not establish the revoke,
and the error may be corrected, unless the question be answered in the
negative, or unless the revoking player or his partner have led or
played to the following trick.
66. At the end of the hand the claimants of a revoke may search all the
