COURT OF QUERN'S BENCll.—Fsis. 27. After Term Niel Prins Sittings at GniMbelh—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Jain.) 'ADM& v. MINITIL—THZ OItAILPIONSEIP OP THE TIM. This was an setion to recover 3001., the sum deposited by Sadler as his sheen of the stakes to be rowed for by him and Kelley. The defendant pleaded never indebted ; and, secondly, that the money hail beim paid over fu am cordate's with the decision o the referees appointed to , decide any matters in dispute arising from the race. The I plaintiff replied to the second plea, that he was chosen umpire under certain restrictions, according to the recog nised rules of boat racing, and that he had paid the money over to Kelley contrary to those rules. lir. Hawkins, QC., and Mr. Henry Jameawere annual for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjennt Dallantine and Mr. Garth, Q.C., optimal for the defendant. Mr. Hawkins, in elating the ease to the jury, said the plaintiff bad brought this action to recover from the defendant, who is the editor and proprietor of the Sports man newspaper, the sum of 3001., being the amount of money deposited by Sadler with Suiith as stake holder under certain articles which wero entered into last autumn, by which Sadler and Kelley agreed to TOW for the charUpionship of the Thames for 300/. a side. The plaintiff's contention was that no race had taken place, and that tbereforo he had a right to dcmend his 'money back. Now, he (Mr. Hawkins) was afraid ho should not be able to give the jury much assistance in this case, for his aquatic knowledge was very limited. lie ant-dilly knew water lily ani a water int —(la t ighter ) —and his learned friend (Serjeant Ballantine) who appeared for the defendant did not know mach more—(laughter)—and he had no doubt these aquatic gentlemen had selected him self soli Mr. Serjeant Ballantine as the representatives of their interests becansa they knew nothing about the sub ject. (Laughter.) He would, however, endeavour to pat them in possession of the facts from the voluminous state ments he bad beforo him. It appeared tint hetween 1880 and 1552, and again between Nee and 1867, Kelley, who was a watermau, had distinguished lamedt on many orioasions ; and the plaintiff made his first appearance in the agnate, line as a waterless about ltsGt, and from that time to 1867 be distinguished himself in many instances, having rowed in saves metchee, and won six, the seventh of which he lost owing to a pain which at tacked him in the middle of thereto, or ha tLought he would hero beaten the celebrated Bub Chambers at Newcastle. In 1867, Kelley was considered to be the champion of the Thames, and Sadler being anxious to dispute it with him, challenged him to row from Putney to Mortlake. The articles were earanged, and the 27th November, 1%7, about es unpleasant a day as any man weld steect, however fond he might he of aquatic sports, was fixed upon for the race. They started by mutual consent. He was told that with amateur rowers it was neual to have a starter to start them, but with professional towers the universal practice was to FLU tby what was called mutual consent—the con currence of both parties. He confessed he thought it would be more convenient to alter it, and adopt the prac tice now resorted to in foot races of being started instead of starting by mutual consent. That alte ration he was inform by the sane autherity who bail 'instructed him in aquatic. , was made -ao in contequente of some pertinetions competitor being suddenly rind with the stonuichlie—(laughtere—and st inding two whole days with his back aeminst a wall— (langhter)—which so disputed les opponent that he would not run at all, and he believed that until his opponent was thoroughly tired out or went to sleep, if it lad been till that time, the gertleinan with the psis in his stomach would never have recovered. That race, however, ulti mately resulted, to use a leg.l phrase, in the withdrawal of a juror. Sadler and Kelley alerted, however, by teal consent on the e7ill November ' according to th e articles catered into between them. They left Putney, and on their getting under Ilaromersmith Badge plaintiff complained that he was being bored lty Kelley, sad he applied to the referee to declare it a foul race, and when they I got to Mortlake the referees decided it was no race, and ee -1 pointed the following day for the match t o come off. TieJ 1 competitors acconliegly wet on the IZth, but great difficulty was experienced in setting Kelley to start, end afterwards Sadler was averse to start, in consequence of the proximity of the steamboats, and he expressed his dis inclination to row unless a fair start could be obtained. It being a cold, raw, hazy day, and seeing that Kerley bad no disposition to start, Sadler rowed to the cutter that was in attendance to put on a light jersey in which to row, and not as any indthation that be did not inteud to row the race. Upon that, Kelley rowed to the umpire's boat and informed the umpire and referees that Sadler declined to start, and that he would not start, sad that Sadler bed constantly thwarted him in endeavouring to do so. Upon that Mr. Biffitl said. " Well, if he will not start, start yourself, and row over the course." And accordingly Kelleyreturned to the starting pleas and with out one word of warning or intimation of what had been raid by the referee, he started Women and rowed to Mort lake, followed by Sailer, where he was awarded the stakes by the referee, whose decision upon Kelley's esparto statement was toted to be final. Against that decision a protest was entered ; but notwithstanding that, and a letter from the plaintiff to Mr. (tenter, lie paid over the money to Kelley, and it was upon those grounds that the action was ' , roue's& The plaintiff was called, end minutely detailed the above facts, and before he heal concluded his evidence, Mr. Serjeant BalLintino took a technical objection to the further progress of the ease, on the ground that the facts which would he disputed did not apply or affect the um pire's conduct ; hat thnt rested on a point of law. The Lord Chief Justice—Li it true that the umpire gave his decision without hearing what you had to say ? Sadler—Yes ; I never saw him. Mr. Serjeant B a llantine said the Watermen's rules were binding. In emirs-examination plaintiff said—l wished to have a starter, but Kelley objected. The race was to be rowed according to the recognised rules of boat racing. By the Cambridge and Oxford rules they have astarter. Amateurs only have one referee ; but watermen have two, who elect a third as umpire. Mr. Messenger was my referee. Mr. Foster acted as my friend, end found the money. I don't know whether we arc governed by the printed rules of rowing clubs. Mr. Serjeant Ballentine—Do you knew of any other recognised rules? Plaintiff —I can't read, so I never look over them. (Laughter.) I never rowed in a jersey or zephyr in wetermen's race. I should if it was a cold day. I rowed with Chambers. Them was a foul there. I was charged with fouling, and it was decided against me. I rowed with Percy. A foul was charged then, and it was decided seainst him. I rowed ageinst Kelley in Paris ; but I was disqualified from auy place in the race. My brother was leading me when I was three boats' lengths ahead of Kelley. If Kelley had started end the comae was free from rough water owing to the steamboats, I would have started. I went to the starting post with the view and intention of starting. On the night of the first race I felt ill in the chest, and consulted Dr. Willis. I bad not • cough. I did not consult bins as to my rowing the race the second day. Dr. Willis did not tell me not to row. I did not say to any one that I did not intend to row. I beat him once, and I think I can beat him now. (Laughter.) Kelley never told me he was ordered by the referee to row the race. He did not say that if I dial not row he should. I was not in such a position that if Kelley had started I should have fouled him. Kelley once oomplained that my boat was not straight, and I put it straight directly. Reexamined—Kelley was coaching me when I fouled Chambers. Kelley bad made the match for me. The ob jection at Paris was that I had a boat to Dosch me. I did not know at the time it was against the rules. I felt liehter and better on the sealed day and more fit to row than on the first day. Mr. Egan (editor of Bell's Life—For three years I was cockswain of the Cambridge University Boat Club. I have acted for seine time as umpire at Henley-on-the- Thames and other boat races. I was in the umpire's boat on the second day. She had Boated a quarter of a mile above the men. It was a clear and calm day, but cold. I saw the men come up to the post, and durum the ten minutes to a quarter of an hour they were there there appeared to me every opportunity . for a fair start if both had desired it ; and twice during that period I saw distinctly an effort on Sadler's part to make one ; he dipped his sculls twiee tly with that intention. The steamer gorin g this time was Boating away from the men, and it beams more difficult to me what they were doing. It appeared to me after the fair opportunity far alerting had passed that they were with too near for a start. I did not see any attempt on the part of Sadler to foul. Kelley did nothing when Sadler made the two abortive attempts to start. The steams: a were out of the way then • and the course was 'clear, but with the boats foiling up it ceased to be so. I think I saw Sadler go to his cutter and put on his jersey. I saw Kelley come to the umpire's boat, but I did not hear whet paused. Kelley then left, went towards the aqueduct turned round, and started. I know of no communication being made to Sadler warning him to start. None could have been made from our boat. When Kelley turned round and started he did not go near Sadler and give him an opportunity of starting. I don't know if Sadler said anytatng when he got to Mortlake. I had no pecuniary interest is th e vane. I mete the account which appeared ln Belle Life. Water men of late years in single matches start themselves. Cross-examined—ln these matches the general wish is to foDow as much as poseible the minted rules of the uni versities and the der ll& I should think it wee intended this match should be rowed by the printed rules.

MIDLAND CIRCIIIT.—WARwwit, FEB. 27. THE TENIAN PRISONEES. These assizes commenced this mornicg, Mr. Justice Montague Smith presiding in the Criminal Court. In ehargiug the grand jury, the learned judge refereed at some length to the case of the Fenian prisoners, Berke, Casey, and Qom, indicted for treason-felony. He saw the magistrate did wisely in committing the prisoners to Warwick, as the principal overt act charged agaiust them was committed in that county—he meant the procuring of arms and ammunition at Birmingham. Persons were Zrgy. of felony (his lerdship olscrved) who formed a to depose the Queen rued deprive her of Ler crown in any part of the United Kingdom, or to levy war against her, and slowed that design by some overt act. The de• sign imp ted to the mitotic's was that of establishiee a republic is Ireland, and of employing force to accomplish their object. The grand jury emit first inquiro whether the prisoners Lad formed such designs, and secondly whether they had acted upon and dochwed them by any overt act, especially such as that cherged against them of pnribroing armsin Birmingham. It appeared that Burke joined the Fenian brotherhood in America. Hs lordslip went on to ..peak of the este of Berko io this country, especially Lis purchasing 622 revolvers and 2,000,000 pet• elusion caps at Birmingham, where lan spent upwards of 2,003 f. Ile adverted to the evidence showing the own plicity of Sinew and illullady, and said it would be affects : ea to attempt to ignore the existence of the Fenian con spiracy. It was, however, a matter of eongrstulation that no success can or will attend "this hopelese conspiracy." He could not conclude without expressing his deep regret that, in causeepienee of the death of the late lamented Mr. Justice Shee, it bad fallen to hie lot to address the grand jury. He believed that in Mr. Justice She* the country possessed a judge of cultivated intellect, high sphit, and pure independency of character. The grand jury then retired, awl shoed) , afterwards returned into court with several true bills. In the course of the afternoon Mr. Sills made an appli cation to Mr. Justice Smith, in the case of the primcer Burke, to order the prosecution to deliver to him a copy of the indictment, with a list of the witnesses and the jury, tcu days previmis to his trial. The learned judge said that in an early case in which a prisoner Wits it it.l for treason. felony Mr. Justice Erie had decided that ho was not en titled to what Mr. Sills asked for. Ile therefore refused he indication. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. • (Before Baron Bramwell.) Curare Auguste Oilsait, 31, • Belgian, described as a chemist, was charged with feloniously casting and throw log upon Elizabeth Yates • quantity of earrosive Cuid called oil of vitriol, with intent to injure and disfigure her And to do her grievous Lodile harm. Mr. Moody prosecuted. M. Albert acted as interpreter. Thc proseentrix in this case, who it appeared was onlj 17 years old, was at present what is termed an " unfor iunate," but had formerly been in the employment of the winner as a domestic servant ; but according to her st.,tcurent she left kis service cf her own accor d on am count of the prisoner's ill.usage. The circumetancre of 'ho ease wcro somewhat remarkable. TLo prosecntrix stied that the prisoner had committed the same act thre.- =operate times, but on the two first occasions she made no complaint to the police, or mentioned the Caine of the pri soner. The third occasion was on the 4th of January, when the prisoner again threw some vitriol on the pro sccutrix from behind ; but all that was proved was that the horning fluid was poured on the dress, and the person of the prosecutrix was not at all injured. The learned Judge ruled, upon these facts, that the specific charge contained in the indictment had not been supported. There was nothing to negative the suggestion that the prisoner merely intended to frighteu the prose cutrix, and to burn her clothes •, and although this was a very mischievous act, and one for which he ought to be I:mashed, or be compelled to make compensation, it was not sufficient to support the charge of intending to do the prosecntrix grievous bodily harm. The jury, under his lordship's direction, found the pri soner Not Guilty. The prisoner was then tried upon a second indictment, charging him with committing a similar offence on the 20th of December. The proseentrix was again examined, and she stated that the was walking with another young woman in the same ueiglibourhood on tho evening of the 20th of December, when the prisoner came up to her and threw something upon her, which slightly burned her check and her Ibft ear. She spoke positively to the Identity of the prisoder, and stated that the reason she did not make any complaint to the police was, that she did not wish to hurt him. A grout many witnesses were examined for the defence, with a view to prove an alibi, and also to show that the prenatal - ix had stated that it was a man who had the ap pearance of a bricklayer who threw the vitriol upon her. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner Not (Ailey. (Before the Recorder.) Charles Clements, a respectable looking man, described as a clerk, was indicted for feloniously wounding Samuel Halfpenny,. with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm. Mr. Straight conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the defence. The prosecutor stated that he was a photographer, and that between eight and nine o'clock in the evening of the 13th Februar he was in Waterloo-house, Slog-street, Woolwich. T he prisoner came in, and addressing him, said, " What made you go to Marlborough-street and give evidence against me?" Prosecutor did not reply, but . on the question being repeated, he said, " I want nothing t , to say to you ; you are a man of desperate characte r. Shortly afterwards the prisoner stabbed him with • knife near the temple, and rendered him almost senseless, but a constable in plain clothes, attracted by his cries, came in and apprehended the prisoner. In explanation of the case, it was elicited that the pri• goner bad been an eminent at mock auction, but that latterly he bad been employed to put them down, and on one occasion he was charged at Marlborough-street poliee court with assaulting • person named John Jennings, who, it will be remembered, kept • mock auction at Ludgate. ld.ll, and the prosecutor, who was then employed by Jen nings, wee • witness ag ainst him. The jury returned • verdict finding the prisoner Gaily of unlawfully wounding. The Recorder sentenced him to twelve months' imprison ment with hard labour. Joseph Metcalfe &dui* and Thomas Heavy Basset were indicted under the 221st section of the Bankruptcy Act, for destroying some of the books relating to their business within three months of their bankruptcy, with intent to conceal the state of their affairs. Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. F. e H. Lewis conducted the defence. It appeared that the prisoners traded together as manu facturers of boot uppers in Bast-street, Red Lion...pare, from February, 1566, until April, 1867. On the 4th of April in the latter year their meditore were called together, sad on the folloWilnt day they were adjudicated bankrupt. It was then that there was • deficiency of 3,385/. 6e. 7d., and the property given up realised little more than 3001. An investigation took plan with the view of ascertaining how this deficiene/ sz ee t eurred, and upon the books cf the bankrupts given up, it was found that the ledger ash book for the whole of the year 1866 were not forth coming. Two new books were produced, but tbe entries in these only commenced on the let of January, and in numerous instances there were alterations hi the haleness brought forward from the old books. When under exami nation at the Bankruptcy Court, Bennett admitted that he had destroyed the books for 1866, the reason betas that they contained entries relating to other matters, and that he thought it better to commence with a new set. In the coarse of the investigation it was elidted that the books produced by the bankrupts were purchased so late es the 26th of Febrnary, 1867, and that it was subsequent to that that the entries were transferred from the old books. At the onielosion of the evidence for the promenfien, the case was adjourned till this day (Friday).

Several, of - whom very little was known, were discharged on their promising not to beg again in the streets. Some of those discharged were children who be god unkeown to tht ir paroles, and were given up to them on their undertaking to take better care of them in future.

There were likewise three children brought up,who it appeared were sent out by their parents to beg, and who teak the money from them as fast es they rceoiced it. These poor creatures, who were wrttcheelly clad, and had ':either shoes nor stockings to their feet, were sent to the union fcr a few days, while Sir Robert took thy necessary stare to get them into industrial schools, much to the chagrin of the percuts.

Several causes tend toe quieter feeling, and amorgst these aro the quieter tone of the . Liverpool cotton market, the prospect of several large wool eales neat week, the fact that mod opium have recently operated rather freely, and that the time of clip is getting nearer. In wonted yarns there la I the same set= to a quieter feeling. A fair business boa . of late been done far export, and the prim' now offered , are so much below what spinners require that they do not I result in much business. Some small orders have been placed. Most spinners are now so well employed that they are quite indifferent as to new offers, and do not con mquently yield to lower offers. The demand is mostly for 30's, 36's, and 40's single, and also for two-fold. Some sales have also been effeded in genappe yarns. There is no chauge in prices. The piece trade is also quieter. Manufacturers have of late received some good orders for both home end export, and as merchants have freely sup plied themselves there is not much fresh business done. Priors are very ern,.
