Hence, there are four stipula- tions in the "Game-Denmand Bid of
Three:"
(1) The original bidder must be able either to rebid the suit he first named (by this is meant the suit must be strong enough to make him practical independent of trump support in the bid suit)
or
(2) Je must have a second suit in reserve to bid; or
(3) He must be able to support any suit take-out that his partner may make or

Mr. D'Almada pointed out that these were some of the weaknesses of the evidence given by the prosecution.
On the whole, le continued, he felt he must ask his Worship to dis- charge his client.
Inspector Elaton admitted that the fact that the money was found several hours after the defendant had been taken to the Station was a point in his favour. However, with regard to the point stressed by Mr. D'Almada that defenduat was not searched on the spot, he pointed out that the Police had no authority to search anybody except for arms, and they did not suspect To make a "defensive suit bid that the defendant carried arins. of two," not vulnerable, there The regulation was for them to de- must be a fair five-card biddable mand that a person showed them suit and a minimum of two high-all he had and then keep a careful card tricks with four to five pro- watch on him until they reached bable tricks in the hand.
