- If the dealer discover any of his own cards in dealing, he must abide by the deal.
- When a faced card is discovered during the deal, the cards must be reshuffled and dealt again.
- If the dealer give his adversary more cards than are necessary, the adversary may call a fresh deal, or suffer the dealer to draw the extra cards from his hand.
- If the dealer give himself more cards than are his due, the adversary may add a point to his game, and call a fresh deal, or draw the extra cards from the dealer's hand.
- No bystander must interfere, under penalty of paying the stakes.
- Either party saying "I put", that is, "I play", play cannot retract, but must abide the event of the game or pay the stakes.

Famous quotes containing the words laws and/or put:
“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.”
—Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)
“It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
