Hence, there are four stipula- tions in the "Game-Denmand Bid of Three:"

(4) Failing any of the above three stipulations, he must be for- tifed against the frequent obliga- tury minimum response of three no trump, which the terms of the convention require of the partner in the absence of a raise or suit take-out.

Original suit bids of four and five are just the same in any sys- tem. They are

pre-emptive bida and have the same requirements na in all other systems.

To make a "defensive suit bid of one" there must be a biddable five-card uuit and a minimum of one and one-half high card tricks. If a four-card suit, two high card tricks should be held.

Away for Five Minutes,

It was admitted by the con- plainant herself that defendant had left the room for five minutes: the money was found in a fashion- book belonging to the defendant a few hours after he had been taken to the Police Station; defendant was not immediately searched on the spot. Mr. D'Almada pointed out that these were some of the weaknesses of the evidence given by the prosecution.

On the whole, he continued, he felt he must ask his Worship to thin- charge his client.

Inspector Elston ndmitted 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 defendant 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 that the defendant carried arms. The regulation was for them to de- mand that a person showed them all he had and then keep a careful watch on him until they reached the Station, where he could be searched.

To make a "defensive suit bid of two," not vulnerable, there must be a fair five-card biddable suit and a minimum of two high- card tricks with four to five pro- hable tricks in the hand. If vul- nerable, the suit bid should be a strong suit, such as A-Q-J-8-6.
