 Each perfon* has a right to Jhuffle 
 , the cards before the deal; but it is 
 Ml ufual for the elder hand only, and the 
 4 ealer after. 
 
 The deal is made by having the 
 pack cut by the right-hand adverfary ; 
 and the dealer diftributing the cards, 
 one at a time, to each, beginning with 
 the left-hand adverfary, till he comes 
 to the laft card, which he turns up, 
 being the trump, and leaves it on the 
 table till the iirft trick is played. 
 
 No intimations of any kind during 
 the play of the cards between the part¬ 
 ners are to be admitted* The mirtakc 
 of one party is the game of the adver¬ 
 fary, except in a revoke, when the 
 partner, may inquire if he has any of 
 the fuit in his hand.
