Sir Fri:teeth, Mr. Condole, Prater, and Masa others, paid forfeit. The annals of the Turf do not present a race of greater interest, or one that more strongly excited public expectation. The horses were not only the .ruck of the day, but the riders were reekone.l the best jockeys that any country could boast.— Mother Clarke war rode by Mr. Dows.st himself; colours, buff amid white cap. Cilehy was rode by tsictissus ; colours, black and white.—lnipeacher was rude by Joss BOLL ; colours, buff and blue. Preemie, ass rode by. LITI'LL Sallie ; colours, black and yellow. The odds before starting were 6 to 4 on C;;64; 4 to ion Premier ; 7 to 1 agaiiist "hit-mane : even bilttiug betweeu Mother Clarke cud Impeacher. FIRST HEAT. At starting, Gibley rook the !rail, and the more rau him heath and girth nearly the first half mile, at the end of which she began to gaM upon him. {,Niisai.r, who rode Gitsty, finding himself pressed, had now recourse to Isio old tricks, and crossed and jostled repeatedly. Ilere there was a loud cry of *. foal, feed," from the populace ; but it seems that crossing and jostling are all fair on this course. It however had the effect of damping the spirit of the snare.—Sloe sulked, appeared greatly distressed, cud was scarcely able to strike a canter during the rest of the hear. This gave an oppor tweity to Premier, who lay by, to come in second. Adamant was quite blows, and broke down withiu fs few yards of the post; taut Impeacher s.ived his distauce with so ranch difficulty, hie friends bad au idea of dreteiag him. The result of this brat gave very general shoes tisfoction. Next to the snare, Mr. WARDLE'S Im peacher was the favourite, and large souls lied been betted upon both. SECOND HEAT. (;.;66y, as in the former Ipat, attempted at start ing to take the lead; but the Jockey who rode the wsare, profiting by esperience, got the whip hand, ant headed him. The ground was very drip and dirty, and as Gibby and Premier followed dome behind, staid the more scattered the dirt profuse:y, they were nearly blinded, and could 'scarcely see the course before them. The mare, however, won the heat with great difficulty, as in passing the Peril's Ditch, Gibby felt himself upon his favou rite ground, and made a grand push, which brought him up nearly head and girth. The mire won this beat only by a heart. Bete now varied to 5 to I upon the mare, d to I upon Impeacher, evert betting between Premier and Gib Ly. THIRD HEAT. In the eourse of the two former heats, the great super.ority of the mare, in lightness of heels, in spirit, amid in bottom, was obvious to all the know in,; owes; but it was observed, that she was frisky and skittish, and sheered symptoms of' 11 disposi tion to bolt. The jockey was accordingly advised to ride her in a sharp %motile, mind keep her tight in hand, the animal being so free as to go at the top o r h e r peed, without requiring whip or spur. He followed the advice, sad wan easy. Neither Pre mier nor Gi&hy, Of Whalla the latter ran tier au cigar before, ever uses ght her. lodes-0, as a Vockshirs-main obeererd,islie might hide from them. to poacher, alms. who .sppestresl a dull and spiritless mover iu the first heist, proved himself a horse of good bot tom. His rider laid the whip well into him, and he answered it admirably, as lie mended his speed at every stroke, Gibby tad Prcoaier, en the con trary, were senreely able to strike a trot in passing the distance-post ; they were literally in a lather of sweat. and eat and gelled from shoulder to The mare came in quite cool, and never turned a hair. The populace were lunch pleas d with her performance, and greeted her, as she 'leased the wio ll l l g-post, with loud huzzas. Her osner, we understand, is resolved never to rums her ugoist, end she will be probably turned out to brood. She is not safe fur saddle use; for s h e trips, is of .e loot temper, mid apt to swallow the bit, suit run off with her rid e r. It would therefore he as mach as his neck is worth for any timid geutlemau to mount her.

This property belong •d to a per son of the name of Charles, Berber, and wee entire ly of a tiersoiial nature, sold he having died indefi nite, the question now mas, how it wee to li diatri limed amongst those who had put in their drams as reletions to the deceased, it twin: by law to lie divided among-t those w h o stood in an equal de gree of relationthip, whether of the maternal or paternal hue. The present question to be tried therefore was, whether the I'l th, Jo..n Barber, Thema..

The's said Charier Barber had acqiiired a lona, property 111 ludic, and there wits GO doubt (tor it war not dispisted by either porta.) that he was the son of William Berber and.

His chews contended. t h at hoth of the parents of this Charles Barbel came from Shropsnire, but this was denied by those who were the Defendant% is this snit.

Amongst these permits were the present Defendants, whom ni s i Learned Friend, Mr. Jrrvi-, was uow to repre sent is. elattoanta sits the part of the mother; and he (Mr. Dauucty) bad 110 hesitation 10 admitting that their respective claims. through the mother, had been already eatisfactorily established. That was • fact which he 'weir meant to deny ; all he meant to contend for was, that lies cheats stood iii equal degree of re!atiosiship, as represetifistivni of the father of the decreased, aoh those who claimed as reprmeidatives of Margaret, the mother. and conoequently that the property ought to be equally divided ummigst them. llf one-half of the property.tho Defendants were aliwnil% in possession, or sit Team had siahriently estatilidied their right to receive; but they haunt; Wand that the whole was better dim a% ball; were disposed to contest the right of the Plaintitia, by contending that his (Mr. Druncev's)* <tient* were not the representatives of the father of the pehmis who died intestate. and that the father, Was ether represented by other penions, or had now no representative what ever. The Defesidents, he believed, .were to set lip, that the father of %Villiain Barber, of the Stroud, was a native of Redliank, near Warring ton. in Lancashire, raid, therefore, that he could not be represented by those who chinned kindred with the William Barber who came from Shrop shire. Hoenig sive° this outline of the case, it might not be amiss for him to state, that t h is quer thou had beds antecedently investigated by a trial at the lag Worcester Circuit, where the Plaintiffs established their claim as representatives through the mother. Inaleed there had been no difficulty in establisliiiig it. as it was found unnecessary to go to the Jury on the claim of those who repre sented through the mother. Ent there was also soother trial aeon that occasion, where it well conteuded that the William Barber in question was a Liverpool man, and the ver dict or the Jury went to establish that as a fact. To make this mutter yet more iiitelligible, he might elate, that the Lord Chancellor hush originally directed three liaises to be tried at Worcester; the first was to establish the claims of the present PI ifs, the representatives of Wil liam. the father, as originally from t'llimpahire: the second to establish the chinos of the present De fendants, as representatives of the mother ; and the third to determine whether the said William Bather was originally Irma Liverpool, se as there by to establish the claim of* Mrs. Sarah Leftwich, who stated !writer(' to by the sole next of kin nit the part of the father.
