These may be briefly stated as follows:
1.--Each player has a right to shuffle at the commencement of a deal, the
dealer shuffling last. The cards shall then be cut by the player to the
right of the dealer. To constitute a valid cut, there shall be at least
four cards in each portion of the pack.
2.--The cards shall be dealt one at a time to each player [with one card
extra in each round for miss].[30] This having been done, the card next
following on the pack shall be turned up as trump. If a card be found faced
in the dealt portions of the pack, the cards shall be reshuffled and recut,
and there shall be a fresh deal by the same dealer.
