2. When a player hits the ball, any one of the same side who at such
moment of hitting is nearer to the opponents’ goal line is out of play,
and may not touch the ball himself, or in any way whatever prevent any
other player from doing so, until the ball has been played. A player must
always be on his own side of the ball.

3. The ball may be stopped, but not carried or knocked on by any part
of the body. No player shall raise his stick above his shoulder. Charging
from behind, tripping, collaring, kicking or shinning shall not be allowed.

4. When the ball is hit behind the goal line by the attacking side, it
shall be brought out straight 15 yards, and started again by a Bully;
but, if hit behind by any one of the side whose goal line it is, a player
of the opposite side shall hit it out from within one yard of the nearest
corner, no player of the attacking side at that time shall be within 20
yards of the goal line, and the defenders, with the exception of the goal-keeper,
must be behind their goal line.

5. When the ball goes off side, a player of the opposite side to that
which hit it out shall roll it out from the point on the boundary line
at which it went off at right angles with the boundary line, and shall
not play it until it has been played by another player, every player being
then behind the ball.

6. On the infringement of any of the above rules, the ball shall be brought
back and a bully shall take place,

7. All disputes shall be settled by the Umpires, or in the event of their
disagreement, by the referee."
