1847 Bell's Life in London 26 Sept. 2/2 We do not know the game of Pounce Commerce.

1858 Littell's Living Age 10 Apr. 134/1 ‘What shall it be?’ asked Miss Popsy; ‘loo, red nines, vingt-um [sic], or pounce commerce?’

1888 J. Payn Myst. Mirbridge viii Love is very much like the domestic game of pounce commerce—we must..always keep changing one's hand, as the cards come round.

1910 Encycl. Brit. VI. 771/1 A popular variation of Commerce is Pounce Commerce. In this, if a player has already three similar cards, e.g. three nines, and the fourth nine comes into the pool, he says ‘Pounce!’ and takes it, thus obtaining a hand of four, which is higher than any hand of three: whenever a pounce occurs, a new card is turned up from the pack.
