SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RAOJES.—WioraDAy. THE STAKES DAY. The entree,. l res nro of the creed at the Chichester Railway Siato oo reday eight was something astonish. if* and beyond all doubt the piteeuriers by train were never ea numerous on the opening du of the splendid meeting. Seats were only übtoised after bud fighting, and then an ogees of three or four people iu each conipai tment ren der,' the streams as close as an oven. Nor were the ar reasoned. at Chichester commensurate with the occasion, led unless the railway authorities organise a more reethu• died ei stem at the station, the crowd on the Cup day will be serrible to contemplate. We have considered A advis able to throw out this timely suggestion, perfectly wo rmed that public safety is jeopardised. The Stakes Day was again favoured by the most brilliant weather, the sue shining over the bnintdul country, lighting up hill, dale, and wen, fichi and coating a *oft haze over the sea round the coast. Visitors from London, Brighton, and Worthies begun to arrive early, the special and ordinary trams from the metropolis being seminally heevy. Drayton and Chichester vere uproarious with the shouts sod couteutioes of the *reit. and at the last-mentioned place the occasion was tats celebrated with all the signs of audio festivity, as all the buleonies and windows were occupied, sod rows of spec. titers hued the kerbstones watching the noble erste:nen "going to the rare" The drivers and conductoes levied their owe prices, and it was useless to resist or remoostrate agisset their exorbitant demands. The some in the perk wee moat pictuieeque as the long lines of vehicle* of all descriptions toiled up the steep ascent to the coarse, if wound through the shaded plantatious. Plenty of dust is !stream Cockney idea asocieted with racing, but these who were partial to blue veils and light siphon lea bed every }oa,ribis emirs for their special vanities, for • white fine dust was drives is clouds by the tribe. The card for this bay was peculiarly interesting not only from the premiere a the programme of the Stakes, the principal handicap of the meeting, but from the additional attraction of the Findon. This race, one of tree most important two-year-old emote of the season, was liefortmately de prived of much of the lateral which would otherwise have metered io it. owing to an accident to Molly Carew at Winchester, which prevented her from fulfilling this valu able cogugemeut. Although there was a probability of • small field for tho Stakes, the race was never more deeply hared with exciting elements than on the present occasion. The meeting between Anfield, Blonds], end Denman was amiously anticipated, sad the faith of the persons of each wan almost wonderful. Autield, a late stable companion of Maccaroai, Wile to the p ß ost with a tremendous reputation, ▪ only from the prestige of Godding's stable, but from the tact of his good looks, private trial, sad the enormous amounts for which he was supported to the lest moment. Mr. Parr was scarcely ler sanguine with his horse, and towards the hour fixed for the nor, the familiar query of "Have you seen Bloodin r was ma more upon the popular tongue. Hellman, an Irish isportatios, who had defeated Caller Ou in Le native isle, was to make his debut oe the English turf. This horse was purchased by Lord St. Vincent originally to act as "school master" to Loed Cabe in his Derby preparation. Lord St. Viooent having tried his new purchase favourably with i &dud, backed him ameirdiegly, and doubtless looked for- I ward with some mtisfaction to debate,' Aofield, and hay ing • sportsmaa's revenge upon the Macaroni stable for his head defeat in the Derby. Ankle', it was seen, was ridden bp little Jemmy Grimohaw , " the pocket Herc ules," while tlloner, now recopied as the first horseman of the age, was retained by Lord St Vincent for Hellman. The first race was appointed for 1 o'clock, but before that hour the erase presented a most animated appethance, the Woo ds' sod grand stead being tilled by a brilliant assemblage, whilst the ladies' lawn was absolutely dauber with rank and beauty. The betting encleaure was filled with speculators, and the dentorien shouts of the bookmakers, as usual, pre wailed above all other sato& The attendance upon the muse was greatly in excess of the previous day, and the greatest interest appeared to be manifested hi the isolable issue of the stakes, althoogh the backers of Aolield were sur prisingly confident, and declared the race was a foregone conclumon for the favourite. The races which pre. coded the principal handicap did not create much interest, and attention seemed to centre in that ram The saddling of the thirteen competitors was watched with much curiosity, and their condition vie eageely winced. Anfield'e friends were evidently well Mt - aged with his condition and style of "going," and Mr. Grunts and his trainer were busy in superintending the Orlion for saddling. Betting upon the raw, up the exhibited to no very merited change ; 7 to 4 was taken about A Meld, Batman being next io demand, while the Weep gelding (on the strewth of Mr. Merry hiving backed him freely) and Bs/hare advanced to • place among the mod prominent favourites. The race, which is fully described below, created • very great sematiou, inasmuch Ariel,' was not hedge by any of those most to be feared, but by a rank outsider, in Bleekdowo, the property of a Sorer gentleman, and trained at Lewes. Lest year Blackdowe was tried to be almost worthier for racing purposes, and Was ridden by Fordham as his hack hunter during the past whiter. A afield ran • good race home, but Bipedal) and Bellmen gave no socouragement to their friends, the Irish home being last all the way, and en being pulled up it was discovered that be had strained aloof the back sinews. Thus for the mooed year in em ersion have the favouritee for this race been defeated by despised outsiders. The owner of Blackdown did not via • 1 stake, having backed him fur a couple of hundred pounds. Encouraged by the good fortune which had graded them on the Stakes, the bookmakers " fielded" more enthusiastically, and shouted the odds with strikers effect. The Findon Stakes produced • very interest* retest between Paris, Linda, and Polo naise.

The suit wu instituted by the lessee of No. le, Cavendish-place, in the p-irbh of St. Marylebone, end of the gerdeas and outbuildings attached thereto, praying that the defendants, the Laugham Hotel Company, might be restrained from erecting their or any other buildings of a greater height, or [MOW to the plate , tin land, • i•••,6 9 . wh i ch lately stood on th.e adja cent which would o bs truct or interfere with the per accede of lighter air to the buildings on the plaintiff's said lands, and from doing anything whatever whereby the access of light or air to or by the windows in the plaintiff's said house might be diminished or interfered with. Tae Vies Chancellor made an order imintiog an injunction in the terms of the prayer of the NM. From that order the defendants appealed. The arguments on the appeal were heard on the Wed of this month, and the cams was plaid on the paper this morning to be disposed of. The following order was now made. Suspend the injunction till further orders, the company and directors undertaking to pull down whatever may be built so as to interfere with plaintiff's rights ; such undertaking to be signed by all the direetoes, and their signatures at tested.

The case was brought on on Thursday last, and stood over till to-day oo an ueder taking that nothing should be done in the meanwhile. The motion now came on again, and it occupied nearly the whole of the day, the principal question being whether. under the conno tation of the company, the directors and company had power to issue preference shares. Mr. Glace and Mr. Looock Webb appeared for the plain tiff ; Mr. Badly and Mr. Fry for the directors and company ; Mr. Speed for Mr. Button, &director ; Mr. Osborne for Mr. Stereos, a director ; and Mr. Roxburgh for Mr. Byers, the mangier director. The Vice-Chancellor, without calling on Mr. Glues, in reply, said he was of opinion that the company had not power, nader their constitution, to issue prototypes shares, and he, therefore, granted an injunction to restrain them from issuing such shame until the hearing, or until further order, there being power, as he °bogeyed, in the company, to alter their constitution if they eaw ISt. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Joys 29.

In • paper subsequently Sled he states that he was the promoter of the Compressed Coal Company, now in course of winding up. He spent • great deal of time and money in experiments, and in travelling in order to establish the company. Had it succeeded he should have reamed a large sum of money ; as it was, he had never received • farthing remu neration, as the company became bankrupt. There were 46 shares io the Crioceth Slate Company standing in his name, bat he had never bed the scrip ; it was held by a creditor as murky. The like as to 40 shame in the Slate Mountain Company (Limited). He had berme a director of the Bantry Bay Slate Company (Limited) about twelve months ago, and had lost his appointment on being adjudicated bankrupt. He had received about 201. for attendances from that company. . . . _ . . . Mi. Cbainbeclayne, for the assignece, objected that the accounts rendered were not sufficiently toll and explanatory. His Hooper allowed the bankrupt to peas, but adjourned the order of discharge—way further information that might be required to be furnished in the interval. form, and the primmer, who wee perfectly unmoved, whoa he had concluded, turned hastily round and retired from the bar apparently quite unecomet nod. JULY 28. (Before Baron Channell.) George Rarer, 24, a soldier. a determosed-looking man, was charged with feloniously and maliciously wounding Vincent Fens, with intuit to murder him • and in other counts of the indictment the latent was lai d 46 be to MOM and dyeable and to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. F. Russell prosecuted, and io opening theme to the . jury be &aid that the prosecutor was the governor of St. i Augustin's Gaol, Canterbury, and at the time the offence ' was committed by the primmer be was confined there under ' the sentence of a court-martial. By some means or other he contrived to obtain pomessioo of the blade of a clasp knife, which be ground to a sharp point and fixed is two pieces of wood, so as to form a handle, and with this lustre. meet he made a met des attack upon the prosecutor, and when they bad k the nature of the case it would be for them to decide whether it was not clearly established that the prisoner really intended to commit the more serious offence imputed to him by the indictment, and would feel themselves °impelled to convict him of that offence. Mr. Vincent Fenn, the prosecutor, was then examined. He said—l am the governor of St. Augustin'. Gaol, at j Canterbury, and the prisoner was committed to my cos- tody on the 18th of March last, to be imprisoned for two years under the sentence of a court-martial It is customary to parade the prisoners every morning at a quar ter past eight o'clock, and this was done on the 26th of March, and I was io the act of inspecting them as natal when the prisoner said that he wished to speak tome, and I told bun to fall out of the rank, and he did so. I took him ' on one side so that the other prisoners might not hear what passed, and he then said that he wished to make a corn. plaint against Mr. Dunbar, one of the warden, and I told him that I would he w hat be had to my uneasily. I turned a little to the right when I bad said this, and at the same instant received a blow fro.o some weapon under the left eye, and it was immediately filled with blood. I had lost the sight of my right eye minion*, and from my other being filled with blood from the wound, I was totally blinded for a short time, and while I was in that state I received two other wounds, one on the cheek, and the other on the angle of the left jaw. I succeeded, however, in soiling the prisoner by the throat, and not of my warden came up to my moisten**, and the prisoner was secured. lie did not utter a word while he was striking at me. He was put into a place called the wheel shed, and after my wounds had been dressed I went to him and told him I did not exactly know who be was, and asked him to tell me, and he replied, "If you want to know you may go and find out. I will murder you before I leave this place," at the same time making use of most filthy language. He was removed to a cell, and I went to him again about ten o'clock, and asked him what reason be had for attacking me as he had done that morning, and he replied, " That is my business and not yours. I am 00l t i /My that I did not take your life this morning." On a following day I raw the prisoner again, and said to him, " Yesterday you said to me yo u were sorry." He replied, " I did not sly I was sorry.'• I then said, " Yen did say that you were sorry you had not takes m 7 life," and the praustier replied, " Ah, that is another thing. He was put in irons for three or four days, and was subsequently committed for trial upon the present Baron Chappell asked the prisoner whether be wished to put any Questions to the witness, and be replied in a sulky manner, " No, I have nothing to ask him." Edward Boss, use of the warden of the prison, deposed that he was on duty on the morning in question, and saw the prisoner in the act of moulting the governor, and he imme diately went to his aseirtance and helped to secure him. He afterwards heard the prosecutor ask the prisoner what he meant by sating as he had done, and he replied, "1 woofed your other eye, and I am sorry I did not take yc ur life." The prisoner afterwards told witness that he was sorry he bad not taken the governor's life before ' but be would murder him yet before he left the prison, and he was sorry it had broke. He believed the prisoner referred by the word " it," to a broken blade of a knife which witness after wards picked up close to the spot where the prisoner was standing. The witness said he had no idea how the pri soner became possessed of this portion of a knife. but it ap to have been part of a clasp knife, and the prisoner Mi d tied it between two pieces of wood, so as to form • handle. The prisoner said he had no questions to put to this witness Mr. Robert Tausll, the surgeon to the prison, depoe that upon the prosecutor being examieed by him he found three cute on his face, one clues to the left eye, another on the cheek, and a third upon the left jaw. T hey were all such wounds as might have been inflicted by the instrument that had been produced ; and if one of them had only been a quarter of an inch lower it would have separated a large branch of the carotid artsiry, and would in all probability have proved immediately fatal. If the injury to the left eye had also been a little more to the right, it would have destroyed the sight, and the prosecutor would consequently have been rendered totally blind. Thomas West, we of the ataistants in the prieon, denoted that he bad charge of the prisoner in the railway carriage, when he was being conveyed to prime, and as they were going along the prisoner said that be had made up his mind to kill the governor before be went into the gaol, and that he had done so in co , sequence of what he bad heard about him from other soldiers who had been confined there. Ile also said that he was only sorry he had made the attack upon him on the Thursday morning, and not waited, am be intended to have done, until Sunday ; and he said b e in tended, when prosecutor came round to inspect the prisoners on the Sunday morning, to have dragged him into the cell, and he would have killed him before he could obtain any assistance. This was the CM for the prosecution, and the prisoner on being asked whether he had anything to may to the jury in answer to the charge, replied Mischa had nothing to say. The learned judge then summed up, and observed that there was no doubt that the prisoner bad attacked the pro locutor with the knife in the manner stated, and the only question for the jury to consider was, with what intent the injuries had been indicted. The jury almost immediately band the prisoner Guilty of wounding with intent to murder. His Lordthip in passing sentenoe mid it appeared to him that the jury could not have come to any other conclusion than the one they had dose upon the evidence before them. Only a short time back the prisoner's life might have been forfeited, but although the law was now altered his offence was still regarded as a most serious one. it was absolutely necessary that persons in the position of the prosecutor should be protented from acts of %whines of this description, and he felt it his duty to sentence the prisoner to twenty years' pseud servitude. A RAILWAY ADVENTUIII. Some time ago a lady, while on her way from Scotland to Dresden with bar two daughters and their governess, met with the following curious adventure :—A few hours before reaching their destination, the trio stopped to allow passengers to partake of rsfreebmeeta. At this time the ladies, not intending to move, were politely invited by a gentleman from another compartment to alight, but declining to do so he offered to bring them something from the refreshment-room. The lady not wishing to be indebted to a stranger, and, besides, not liking his appear ance. Preferred that she sad her party should, like the other travellers, go by themselves. Having ordered an extra sop of co ff ee, in MAO any of her party should wish it, she was • little annoyed by the stranger coming to their table and requesting to be allowed to take the disengaged cop. Of course the lady could not Musa The stranger walked away and drank the coffee at another table. la the meantime the lady, forgetting all about him, paid for what she had ordered. A few minutes ' afterwards be again came forward, and, thanking her, laid down the price of his coffee. As they had still some little time to wait ere the train started, the ladies, accompanied by this officious gentlmma, walked up and down the plat. form till the bell should ring. The ladies, returning to their mats, and being the sole occupants of a first-class compart ment, did not well know bow to get rid of their companion without appearing rude, especially as he seemed desirous of being invited to take his seat beside them. Fortunately the wind solved the difficulty by slammiog the door imme diately on their being seated, and they flattered them selves that they were now freed from his attentions. At the next station, however, he again turned up, sod ear nestly begged to be allowed to Me his seat heads them, as it wee now getting dark, and he felt so lonely. Mrs. courteously consented to his wish, knowing, of course, that she had DO power to prevent his getting in. The train had uo sooner moved off than the stranger pre sented his card, and immediately began rattling away at a complete history of himself and his travels, meetioning that he had his eyes on the Wise' party for a considerable time. We may mention that the guard had been very attentive to Mrs. and her daughters during the fore part of the and had frequently inquired after their comfort, but dace being joined by the stranger they had not again seen him. To their dismay, the man told them that the came of the guard's ma-appearance for • length of time was his having drugged him freely with strong liquor to keep him out of the way. Mrs. —'a suspicions were now thoroughly armed. whilst her daughters and their companion set trembling, and fervently wish. Ing they were at their journey'. end. talking Momently, and the darkness increasing, he struck a light, and, stooping down, took from his portmanteau a six. barrelled revolver, which he informed the ladies was his only luggage.

Unsuspectingly he handed it to her, when she, finding it loaded, immediately thrust it out of the window, still holding it firmly in her right hand, indignaatly telling the fellow that he was a villain to terrify the ladies in such a manner, And that he deserved the most severe punishment. Asto nished at the unexpected intrepidity of the lady his former rattling loquacity completely forsook him, and he sat mute till they reached the termious, which they were now rapidly approachiag.

They started from Dover at eaves on Tuesday morning with the view of muting their way to Ramsgate on foot. They paid a visit to Wahner, and continued their journey, and it being low water they walked along the shore for some little time. They thee thought they should save a long distance by crowing Pegwell Bay, which they resolved to do, sod arrived within a mil e of the shore when the calamity happened. it is necessary here to state that the river Stour cries., the bay, and on the side nearest Dover or Deal there is a leek of sand, which, at )ow wider, forms an island. The deceased and his bleed had reached this bank, sod there, to their surprise., they came to the river, but not knowi ng w h a t it was, th took off their shoes and stockings a n d a tt emp t e d to wa de it. This they found it was impossible to do, and they therefore returned, took off their trousers, and again attempted to crow the river, but still they ware unable to do ao ' the river being too deep. During this time the water had been flowing very fast, and when they returned to the bask • monad time it was needy covered with water. The tide thee encroached anon them very quickly, and the deceased, being unable to swim, lost his life, and his body was picked up oe the bank of the river yesterday morning at four o'clock by • fisher man.

This was the sitting for examination and dis charge. The amounts show unsecured debts of 10,2171. ; liabilities. 7361. On the other side appear the following items :—Good debtor", 7131. ; doubtful ditto (2.3611. this include@ a sum of 1,7491. due from Mr. Dion Boucicaultt ; property given up, 1,2041. ; ditto held by creditors, 6,ocze. This bugs amount comprises an item of 5,5001., the iod inated value of the lease of the bankrupts' premises, held by the Commissioners of Woods and Works, as 'scurry, for a debt of 101. only. Mr. Linklater. for the minima, stated that the bank rupt Jams had filed the joint accounts sad his own separate account in du time, and there was no objection to his paring. The other bankrupt had only just 61,4 his umlaute, and his examination must therefore be adjourned. The creditor' had no obj ection to the accounts, and there wu no reason why Mr. Jones should not have his order of discharge. If the less* of the premises were realised at the value at which it was estimated—and the assignees had bad a very favourable report upon it from Mr. Marsh— there would be little or no deficiency on the liabilities of 10,0001.

HOME ClRClllT.—bialverrotrx, JULY 29. caowm SIDL (Before Mr. Bum °Usual.) MUIWICR. _ . Alfred Holden. 25. ;MiTri;in the Royal Artillery, a gamut solder-like looking young man, was Owed at the bar to mead to an indictment, and also an loquimitioa by the coroner, both of which charged him with the wilful murder of bin child, eleven months old, named Alfred James Holden. In some of the counts of the indictment the child was described Klan infant of tender years, known bt the name of Tom. The ciretunstanosa of the case lay in a very narrow com pass. The pnsooer was stationed with his regiment at Chatham, he had been employed an cook, bat it seemed that he h a d &agreed with his sergeant, end they were on bad terms, and there was no doubt that the prisoner enter taioed a good deal of angry feeling against his sergeant. On the morning of the Ist of April, it appeared that he was at Lis own lodging at Gillingham with is wife, and the child in question, and there wag no doubt that the prisoner took the unhappy infant out of the bed, where it was lying, and nearly cut ita head off with a razor. He never seemed to have attempted .denial of the act, but his statement to the police was that the sergeant bad sggravated him, and he was determined to kill some one, in order that he might lose his own life, u ke wail tired of his existence, and that bevies( considered what heshould do, he resolved to kill his own child iu order that his wife might not have the additional burden of maintaining is as well as herself, after he was gone. The prisoner was represented to have been very fond of his wife, and also of the child whom he bad so cruelly destroyed, sod it sus supposed in the first instance that his mind was affected, but nothing seems to have transpired since the terrible occurrence that in any way tends to con firm this saggestioe. When the prisoner wu called upon to uy whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty of the felony and murder of which he was accused, be replied in a calm and deliberate tote, "1 am guilty." Baron Cbannell asked the prisoner whether he was aware that he via charged with the crime of wilful murder, for which his life might be forfeited, and he at the same time told him that he must clearly understand that pleading guilty would not have the slightest effect or in any way alter the sentence that would have to he pronounced on him. The prisoner, coolly, mid that hewn aware of all that the lamed judge had stated. Baron annuli—And do you still say that you are guilty ? Prisoner—l do, my lord. The learned judge directed that he should stand down for the present, and he went into the other court, as it was understood, for the purpose of consulting Boron Bramwell upon the case. He afterwards sent for the governor of the prison, and made some inquiries of him respecting the pri mmer and u to the state of his mind. The prisoner was shortly dterwards again placed at the bar to receive sentence. I • ens sir to the formal question whether he had anything to urge why rubor of death should not be pared upon him according to law, he replied in • raider tone, "Not at all." Baron Channel! baring put on the black cap, addressed the prisoner, and said that he led pleaded guilt, to the crime of Wall murder, the most heinous offence lumen to the law, and committed upon the person of his own son, • child eleven months old. fie was willing to believe that he wall not actuated by those feeling of malice or revenge which sometimes led to crimes of this description, but it appeared that, haring miscooducted himself io the duties io which he wee employed for the regiment to which be belonged, in such • mariner that be we. com pelled to leave, be resolved to kiU his child, in order that it might sot be • burden to his wife. He bad pleeded guilty after being most carefully warned that such • oourse would not have the slightest effest upon his sentence or punishment, and he (the learned judge) had sire thought proper to institute some inquiries of the keeper of the gaol with respect to his conduct roes he had bees in corinemeet, sad he could Dot learn anything that Wooed him to believe that he was sot responsible for Ida arenas or that be was sot so at the time he committed the act to which he bad pleaded guilty. He bad, therefore, no other duty to perform than to par upon him the sentence fired by the law for the terrible crime be had committal.

The commissions for the county of Norfolk and the city and county of Norwich were opened yesterday by Mr. Justice Wightman, the Lord Chief Baron being detained at Cambridge trying canoes. Thin morning Mr. JUBileO Brightman sat in the Guildhall, for the trial of prism:ten in the city. The calendar coutsioa the osmes of five priaooers, of whom one is charged with forgery, one with administering noxious things with intent to procure abortion, ooe with housebreaking, and two with larceny. The cases were of a very trifinv nature, and nothing occurred to call for a report. It is • curious foot that every one of the five was acquitted. At 1 o'clock the Lord Chief Baron took his seat in the Nisi Pritia Court at the Shire Hall, and commenced trying suss. There are five causes entered for trial from the county of Norfolk, of which two are marked for special juries, and three for the city and county „f Norwich.

Mr. Justice Wightman presided in the Crown Court. CROWN Couar.—(Before Mr. Justice Wigbtman.) Mary Mallow , 31, puekmistress at Guist, was charged with stealing a letter containing one halt-sovereign and silM7.sMil'l.l. star and Mr. Stephenson appeared foe the prosecution • Mr:Metcalf for th e prisoner. It appeared that for Dome reason suspicion was enter tained that letters were stolen, and the letter in question was mode up, and the half-sovereign and stamps marked, in order to detect the supposed thief. The letter was directed to a person at Islington, and when the mails were made up at Guist it was found that it. was missing. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the letter, sod said that she had nothing to do with the mekiog up of the mails on that day, Ilcr house was then searched, and during the search she was observed to snatch something from under the toilet cover on the table, which proved to be the letter which was lost. The letter was open, but the money and stamps were still in it.. The prisoner said that the letter arrived open, and she bad taken it upstaim to fasten it again. She wan then taken into custody. . . . . The wituesses for the prosecution having (Token b these facts. . _ .

The prisoner replied that he could hardly think it could be called stealing, ma be had offered either to pay for the good, or produce them within en hour. Alderman Phillips—But you had no businme to take the things away. Sergeant Fiuniell said there were other cases spinet the prisoner, and therefore he should ask for a remand until Monday next.

A few evenings since the prisoner called upon Mr. Harris, and said he had made a voyage in the ship Janina, in the Commercial Dock, that ha had wages to receive, and in tended to deal with Mr. Harris. The prosecutor anxious to do business hailed the sailor as a customer, and lent him 10s., to be repaid in the usual manner when the ship was paid off'. On the following morning the prisoner agate waited on Mr. Harris and obtained a new jacket from him. He thee said be wished to be driven to the Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe, and obtain euflicient money from his captain to pay Mr. Harris.

Lush, curate of Greywell, Hants, prevailed upon a couple who had been married at ea independent chapel fourteen months before to be remarried by him; the parties betog described in the benne and is the register as a bachelor and a spinster respectively. For this offence against the law he was committed foe trial at the Winchester assizes ; but in the interim he thought it proper to confers his error, and the prosecution was able dooed. In his apology be acknowledged the validity of marriages performed either in dmeentieg chapels or before supenutendent registrars, and also that they were " binding in the sight of the church." Another clergyman, who has either forgotten these facts, or who is determined to brave the penalties of the law, has, it would seem, just committed a similar offence. Oa the 21st of June, •young couple were married at the iode peodeet chapel, Monmouth, the man being an episcopalian and the woman a baptist. Right days after the vicar of St. Mayers, Coleford, the Rev. H. VValcaseley, remarried them ; describing the man in the register as a bachelor and the woman as a spinster, and entering the woman's maiden name. The government having been questioned by Sir Morton Peto whether they intended to prosecute the offender under the 4th of Geo. IV. et. 76 s. 29, Mr. Bruce, the Under Secretary of State, has replied that—" He did not think that the conduct of the vicar io question was such as to make him liable to prosecution for felony under the Act 4 Geo. IV. a 76. Either the fuss marriage was valid or it wu not. If it was valid, then all that WM doz.° was superfluous, and could not be the subject of prosecution. If the tint marriage was invalid, then everything was pro perly done. It was clear the conduct of the vicar waa not an offence against the law. It might be an offence spinet good taste and good feeling, and as such to be con demned." In this answer Mr. Bruce his either avoided the question put to him— which was, whether Mr. Walmeeley would be prosecuted for the false entries made in the register—or he is wrong in his view of the law. For Mr. Walmuley he. clearly violated the 29th section of the act referred to, which adjudges any one to be guilty of felony wbo knowingly makes a Ulu entry in • parish register; seeing that be has registered the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hello as that of • bachelor sod spinster, he at the time knowing that they were legally man and wife. He cannot even shelter himself behind the provi sine of an act of parliament since the occurrence of the Grey well case, sod passed Ei a rl e h d e purpose of meeting the views of high church clergymen, who are shocked at the idea of contracting • mnniwe without any religious Berrien For the 12th section of the Marriage Act passed on the 29th of Judy, 18.56, provides that if the parties to any mar. rise contracted at a registry office shall desire to add the religious ceremony of the body to which they belong, they may present themselves to a minister of that body for the purpose. But it is expressly provided that the superinten dent r. gietrar's certificate of marriage must he produced, and " no Meg in the reading or celebration of such service shall be held to supersede or invalidate any marriage so previously contracted, nor shall such reading or celebratiou be antecedes a marriage among the marriages in the parish registry." We are informed that it is likely that this cue will be v;goo.00ly dealt with in it. legal bearings by the committee of the diaaenting deputies, who proceeded against Mr. Lush in 18.56.
