Core:

(n) Take out a suit of lower value with one of higher value with a five-card suit and one high card trick.

(b) Take out a major suit of higher value with one of lower value with a hand containing one and one-half high card tricks and a biddable four-card suit: one high card trick in a five-card suit. (e) Do not take out when it is necessary to bid four of a minor suit unless a game at the minor is certain, or unless a slum is pro- bable. Even though the suit and hand has fair strength, bid three

(4) Lacking the requirements above, bid three no trump.

I submit, your Wor- ship, that that evidence is not of a wholly reliable nature, and where it is to be relied upon, it is largely in favour of the defendants."
