WATCHING TRIALS.—Any gentleman who keeps running horses, having cause to
complain of any FEEDER, RIDER, GROOM, BOY, or other person employed by
him in, or intrusted with, the knowledge of trials, or having discovered
them, directly or indirectly, by betting, or wilfully in any other way,
(unless so allowed to do by his master;) or if any person, as aforesaid,
living with any gentleman, shall be discovered in watching trials
himself, or procuring other persons so to do, or by any unfair means
whatsoever, endeavouring to discover trials; on such complaint being
carried to any one of the Stewards, that Steward is to summon a general
Jockey Club meeting so soon as convenient; which meeting is to appoint a
Committee of three Members, to examine into the accusation; and in case
they shall be of opinion, that the person, or persons, is, or are,
guilty, then the person so found guilty shall be dismissed from the
service of his master, and the said person shall not be employed by any
Member of the Jockey Club in any capacity whatsoever; nor shall any
horse, &c. fed or rode by him, or them, or in the management of which he
or they are concerned, be suffered to start for PLATE, MATCH, or
SUBSCRIPTION. And the names of the persons found guilty of these
offences shall be exposed in the RACING CALENDAR, and inserted in a
paper to be fixed up in the Coffee Room at Newmarket.
STAKING, SHEWING, and ENTERING.—That a copy of all the stakes to be made
for matches, subscriptions, and sweepstakes, and the day and hour of
shewing, or entering, shall be fairly written out, and fixed up, by
order of the Stewards, on the side of the chimney-piece, at each end of
the Coffee Room, on the Sunday evening before each meeting; to continue
there each day of the meeting, as notice for staking, shewing, or
entering; and no other shall be insisted upon.
ENTRY OF STAKES.—A day-book shall be kept by the person appointed by the
Stewards, and continue in the Coffee Room, in which shall be entered an
account of all matches, subscriptions, and sweepstakes, to be run for
each day within that meeting; and as the different stakes are made, the
payments shall be marked to the names of the persons so paying.
STAKES, HOW TO BE MADE.—All stakes shall be made in cash, bank bills,
bank post bills properly indorsed, bankers notes payable to bearer, or
bankers notes payable to order, also properly indorsed, and not
otherwise, without the consent of the party or parties present,
concerned in the MATCH, SUBSCRIPTION, or SWEEPSTAKES, on whose account
such stakes are made.
