[Atlantics vs. Orientals 10/24//1867] The umpire made an illegal decision in the fifth innings, in first calling one ball, and then, when the ball was hit, giving the batsman out. The moment a called ball is hit, it is dead, and no player can be put out on it, and neither can a base be run. If umpires would not call balls until the ball had passed the bat, these errors would not occur.
