Enquire within upon everything
Robert Kemp Philp889iv. A stroke is considered to have been taken if a ball is moved perceptibly; but should the player have struck it accidentally, and the umpire be satisfied that the stroke was accidental, the ball is replaced and the stroke taken again. v. If the player make a foul stroke he loses his turn and all the points made therein, and the balls remain where they lie, at the option of the adversary. The following are considered foul strokes: (a) To strike with the mallet another ball instead of or besides one's own in making the stroke. (b) To spoon, that is, to push a ball without an audible knock. (c) To strike a ball twice in the same stroke. (d) To stop a ball with the foot in taking a loose Croquet. (e) To allow a ball to touch the mallet in rebounding from the turning peg. (f) To fail to stir the passive ball in taking Croquet. (g) If a player, in striking at a ball which lies against a peg or wire, should move it from its position by striking a peg or wire, the ball must be replaced, and the stroke taken again. vi. A player continues to play so long as he makes a point or hits a ball. A point consists in making a hoop or hitting the turning peg in order. vii. The ball has made its hoop when, having passed through from the playing side and ceased to roll, it cannot be touched by a straight-edge placed across the wires on the side from which it was played.
