_a_ If the dealer or his partner expose a card. The
eldest hand may claim a new deal.
_b_ If either adversary expose a card. The dealer
or his partner may claim a new deal.
_c_ If, before fifty-one cards are dealt, the
dealer should look at any card. His adversaries have the
right to see it, and the eldest hand may exact a new
deal.
_d_ If, in dealing, one of the last cards be
exposed by the dealer or his partner, and the deal is
completed before there is reasonable time for the eldest
hand to decide as to a new deal. But in all other cases
such penalties must be claimed prior to the completion
of the deal.
40. The claim for a new deal by reason of a card exposed during the
deal may not be made by a player who has looked at any of his cards.
If a new deal does not take place, the card exposed during the deal
cannot be called.
41. Should three players have their right number of cards, and should
the fourth, not being dummy, have less than thirteen and not discover
such deficiency until he has played any of his cards, the deal stands
good; should he have played, he is answerable for any revoke he may
have made as if the missing card or cards had been in his hand. The
other pack may be searched for the missing card or cards.
42. If during the play of a deal a pack be proven incorrect or
imperfect, such proof renders only the current deal void, and does
not affect any prior score. The dealer must deal again (Law 38 _b_).
43. Any one dealing with the adversaries’ cards must be corrected
before the play of the first card, otherwise the deal stands good. If
any one deals when it is the turn of an adversary, such error must be
corrected before the cards are dealt for the following deal.
44. A player can neither shuffle, cut nor deal for his partner
without the permission of his adversaries.
