MA RLBOROUGH-STREET A DOUBTFUL CASE.—Louisa, Boyce, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a breast-pin of the value of £3, the property of Mr. Robert Francis, lodging houso-keeper, No. 109, Piccadilly. The prosecutor said—About one o'clock this morning I was coming down Piccadilly, and when I arrived at Engine-street I turned down there and went down about 20 yards. The prisoner followed me down and accosted me. I told her to be off, when she caught hold of my watch chain. I took it out of her hand, and she then pushed against and seized my pin, and kicked me in a dangerous part. A constable came up and I then gave her into custody. Mr. Knox—Was she drunk or sober ? Prosecutor—She appeared to be tipsy. Prisoner—l know him quito well ; I have seen him fre quently. Prosecutor —Never in your life—it's quito false. Pitman, 130 C—l saw the prosecutor holding the pri soner in Engine-street, and the prosecutor gave her in charge for stealing his pin. She said it was a falsehood. At the statien the female searcher found the pin in the prisoner's mouth. Mr. Knox—Had the parties been drinking. Constable—Yes, both of them. Mr. Knox—ls the prisoner known to the police ? Inspector Draper—l don't know at present. Prisoner—l have met the prosecutor frequently, and ho gave me a trifle of money, and told me to keep his pin till the evening, when he would redeem it, and he afterwards wanted it back, and I refused to give it to him, and put it in my mouth. Mr. Knox—The case is not without suspicion on my mind. The prosecutor's statement is an odd one certainly , Is the prisoner known as an unfortunate 1 Inspector Draper—She is, and she froclumnts Piccadilly. - - Mr. Knox—Then if she had been in trouble you would have known it. The case is a very strange one. The prosecutor is going home, and when within three doors of his house turns down a street, and the constable finds him in company of an unfortunate. The point which 1 have to determine is whether she stole the pin, or whether the prosecutor's story is true. I have only the we'd of a drunken man and a drunken woman. It is a case in which no jury will conrict, and I must discharge the prisoner. The prosecutor will of course have his pin back. THAMES. SUICIDE IN PRISON.—Amung the persons to be brought up to-day before Mr. Partridge was an unfortunate woman named Maria Smith, aged 65, and who was described as a general dealer of 15, Petticoat-lane, Whitechapel. She wos charged on Tuesday last with stealing a felt hat, value 45., the property of John Williams, from 2, Upton terrace, Commercial-road East, and four caps, value 12s. the property of some persons unknown. Patrick Collins, 94 K, believed the prisoner had given a false address. It was now reported that the prisoner had committed suicide by hanging herself in the coil in which she was confined in Clerkenwoll House of Detention. Mr. Partridge said that the case was at an and as far as he was concerned, and he would mark the charge •sheet " Committed suicide in prison." THE BELGIAN RIFLEMEN AND SHE ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS. The arrangements for the reception of the Bel gian riflemen are assuming a form which promises complete success. The Reception Committee have been working assiduously, and it is gratifying to find that no member of the executive body has dis played more interest in all that can conduce to making the entertainment to the Belgians' one worthy of our Volunteers and of our English people than the Honorary President, the Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness has determined on being in London at the time of the visit of the Belgian riflemen ; and we are happy to add that the King of the Belgians will be here too. As he led his people in their magnificent reception of the Volunteers, the Volunteers will rejoice in his Majesty's presence among us when we are entertaining those of his subjects who have accepted the return invitation. The English Volun teers have already made arrangements for two grand entertainments at the Agricultural Hall, the management of which has been intrusted to Mr. Defries. On one evening there will be a ball and supper, and on another a concert and supper, to which the Volunteers will be invited as guests. There is every probability that the Belgian riflemen will be conveyed from Ostend to London-bridge in Admiralty steamers,. and that immediately on landing they will be marched to Guildhall, and there entertainned by the civic autho rities. Miss Burdett Coutts has intimated her desire to give them a fete, and more than one noble man has solicited the sanction of the Reception Committee to receive the visitors at a banquet. It is, however, the wish of the committee that, apart from private hospitalities, there should be a national reception, befitting the character of the country, and therefore they are anxious that the subscriptions of Volun teer corps and of the public should be sent in at once. The city of Brussels presented to each of our Volunteers a handsome silver medal and bar commemorative of the visit. The Executive Com mittee of the English Volunteers have given orders for the manufacture of a beautiful badge, which will be presented to each of the Belgian riflemen visiting London. If the public second the efforts of those to whom the management of the reception has been intrusted, this visit of the Belgian riflemen will be creditable to our national force and to the country generally. The Owl says it is understood in the clubs that a proposal will shortly be brought forward by Ministers to increase the allowa.nco of tho Prince of Wales. DEATH OF THE REV. CANON BANKES.—The Rev.

R. Seymour, Esq., of Crowo - id, in the parish of Ramsbury, near Marlborough, Wilts. The silver pieces are mostly about the size of a florin, and bear severally the following dates:-157 7 4, 1591, and 1595. The finder took 2lbs 2oz in weight of these coins from the hole where ho discovered them. Su soon as his good fortune became known to his neighbours, many of them went to the copse, and, with spades, folks, and axes, made a persistent search in the vicinity. Several wore piece§ of money were found. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, COURT OF EXCIIEQUER. .Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Pigott and a Common Jury.) REEVES V. THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS CO. This was an action brought to recover compensa tion in damages for injuries sustained through the negligence of the servants of the London General Omnibus Company. Mr. D. D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Fourd appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Nasmith for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff Reeves, a young man of about twenty-four years of age, residing in the neighbourhood of Hampstead, on the 28th of January last left his home a little before nine o'clock, and returned a little after nine with his arm broken and otherwise injured. It appeared from his evidence that the plaintiff was proceeding down the yard belonging to the Omnibus Company, when he was run against by one of the company's omni buses, which was driving furiously down, and re ceived the injuries stated. His medical attendant (Dr. Cook) stated that his arm was peculiarly frac tured and the nerve was injured. It had wasted and was paralysed, and it was probable that the paralysis would never entirely leave him, or that he would be completely cured. Other medical testimony was corroborative. The timekeeper to the omnibus stated that the omnibus 7,217 was there at 9 o'clock, and 6,170 at a little after. The sister camp to him and asked what time the omnibus went down, and he told her. lie did not know it was the regulation to lead the horses down. There was a light at the place where the plaintiff was standing. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson said that he sub mitted there was no case ; first, because it was not shown that the injury was done by one of the com pany's omnibuses at all ; and, secondly, that there was no evidence of negligence at all. The case was proceeding when we went to press. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDA Y EVENING, MAY 28, 1867. 811 Alt& MARKETS.—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. an a Exeter Caledonian ..

Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, and Justices Blackburn and Mellor.) WATKIN V. HALL. Mr. Kirby applied to the Court on behalf of the plaintiff, for a rule calling oa the defendant to show cause why a plea, which he had placed on the ground, should not be withdrawn, as being calcu lated to embarrass the case, which is set down for hearing, and being consequently opposed to the 52d section of the Common Law Procedure Act, passed in the reign of George IV. The slander was in words spoken by the plaintiff, in which he was alleged to have stated publicly that the plain tiff, who is a member of Parliament and chairman of the South-Eastern Railway, and chairman and director of other railway companies, had failed and was insolvent, and conveyed an innuendo that the state of the company's affairs and their stock being depreciated in value was owing to his embarrass ment. The plea which it was proposed to strike out of the record was that the defendant merely repeated a rumour current on the Stock Exchange, and he denied that he bad said more than that it was reported the plaintiff bad failed, not that he was actually insolvent, and he disclaimed any in tention of conveying the innuendo in question. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that the ',proper course would be to demur to the pleading. The motion was accordingly refused. IN THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY. This was a case in which a rule nisi was obtained, calling on the defendant to show cause why he should not pay over a sum of £175 to a gentleman named Smith, and the defendant appeared against the rule being made absolute. He stated that he was an attorney, and the only object he had in retaining the money was to secure himself against any ulte rior proceedings, and expressing his readiness to pay it into the hands of a solicitor for Mr. Smith or his sister. It appeared that a lady, a friend of Mr. Smith's, was desirous of emigrating to Australia, and applied to him ror funds to enable her to go there with her daughter, and he placed a sum in the hands of the attorney in the case, ou the condition that it was to be laid out in an outfit and the payment of the passage of the lady and her daughter when they were on board the Vessel. He latterly altered her intention of emigrating, and it appeared that she was a married woman, and her husband claimed the money. In this state of things Mr. Smith desired the attorney to pay the lady's daughter a portion of the money, knd to remit the remainder to his sister, Miss Smith. Ile altered his intention with regard to the latter, and directed that the money should be sent to him, so that the attorney was in doubt as to what party he should pay. The Court considered that the claim of the hus band of the lady was preposterous, and that the attorney should have immediately returned the money to Mr. Smith. The rule was accordingly made absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Pepys.) IN RE LIEUT ENANT -COLONEL S. A. DICKSON. This bankrupt was formerly M.P. for Limerick and a lieutenant-colonel of the Limerick Militia, and to-day was appointed for the proof of debts. The bankrupt presented a petition some time since, but it was dismissed by Mr. Commissioner Goul bourn through some informality in the three days' statement, the bankrupt being sent back to prison, where he was recently adjudicated a bankrupt by Mr. Registrar Pepys, who discharged him from custody. The state men t a l rea d y fil e d s hows d e bt s to the extent of £12 , 00 0, and t h e b an k rup t h as considerable property, which has, however, been mortgaged. The proceedings to-day were purely formal, and a day was named for the next meeting. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) ABRARAMS V. ANSELL. This was an action to recover £7 16s. for providing a supper for 52 Foresters at 38. a head. It appeared that some time since the plaintiff was requested to furnish a supper fora Foresters' Court, and he agreed to do so. Tickets were printed, and a notice was sent out with them that if they wore not returned by a certain day it would bo understood that the persons to whom they were ad dressed would be liable for the price. Plaintiff provided the supper, and a certain number sat down to it ; and plaintiff now sued defendant, who was one of the com mittee, for the whole amount. Defendant said he was only one member of the com mittee, and there seven other persons joined with him. He did not think he was liable for the whole amount. Plaintiff stated that he received the orde;Tforil;;;;pper through defendant. His Honour (to defendant)—You must got the money from your fellow committee-men. At present you are liable to the plaintiff. Defendant—But the full number did not sit down to supper. His Honour—That does not matter. You ordered the plaintiff to provide a supper for a certain number of per sons, and he did so. If the full number did not attend, after being warned that in the absence of their informing plaintiff upon the subject they would bo held liable, plain tiff is entitled to recover for the full number. You must pay the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (By Electric Telegraph.) GuATESEND, Tuesday Morning. Arrived, May 28.—Sir B.

DIPERIAL PARLIA.IYFENT MOUSE OF COMMONS.—This DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. Tho house wont into committee on this bill. The discussion was resumed upon the proposal to adopt the following reconstruction of the 35th clause : --" Where any occupier of a dwelling-house or other tenement for which the owner at the time of the passing of this act is rated, or is liable to be rated, would be entitled to be registered as occupier in pursuance of this act, at the first registration of Parlia mentary voters to be made after the passing of this act, if he had been rated to the poor rate for the whole of the re quired period, such occupier shall, notwitstanding he may not have been rated prior to the 29th September, 1867, as an ordinary occupier, be entitled to be registered subject to the following conditions : first that ho has been duly rated as an ordinary occupier to all poor rate., in re spect of the premises, after the liability of the owner to be rated to the poor rate has ceased under the provi sions of this act ; second, that ho has before the 20th July, 1868, paid all poor rates which have become payable from him as an ordinary occupier in respect to the premises up to the preceding sth day of January, together with all the arrears of poor rates, if any, duo from the owner before his liability to be rated ceased as herein before mentioned." Mr. DEN MAN objected to the insertion of the date, viz, 20th July, 1868; he thought the matter should be left open. The CILA.NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not agree with the hon. and learned gentleman. It was desirable that the measure should be a complete one, and he hoped the house would adopt the clause as it stood. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the matter very important. There was an amendment, however, previous to it which he thought it desirable should be made in the last proviso, and that was to introduce the words "or shall have been demanded" after the word "payable" in the last proviso. I LEFT SITTING. I THE REFORM BILL AND PAROCHIAL RATING. A deputation from the various metropolitan vestries waited yesterday afternoon upon the Earl of Derby at his official residence in Downing-street, in order to draw the attention of Government to the practical effect of the proposed amendments to the Reform Bill enabling occupiers of houses now com pounded for to be rated instead of the owners. It was pointed out by Mr. Greenwell, vestry clerk of Marylebone that previously to 1822 there was the greatest difficulty felt in Marylebone in collecting the rates from occupiers of tenements under £2O, and that considerable sums were lost to the parish owing to the fact that the rates could not be col lected from such persons. The local act passed that year provided that the owners of property under £2O should be rated for the future, and the paro chial rates for such inferior houses were thus re ceived with regularity and certainty. If the proposal of Mr. Hodgkinson or of Mr. Disraeli were adopted the difficulty of 1822 would again be experienced, and the loss to the rates would amount to a consi derable sum. The parish could not afford to lose the amount due from defaulting occupiers, and it would have to be imposed upon other occupiers who now paid heavy rates in the shape of increased rating. This evil would be felt to a great extent in West-end parishes, but far more so in the east end. Deputations from Bethual-green, Hackney, Poplar, and other parishes corroborated Mr. Greenwell's statement that the loss to the parishes by the adop tion of the proposed amendments would be very considerable, amounting, in some cases, to a fifth, and even a third of the amount of rates collected. It was pointed out that in cases where the occupier of a house now compounded f or, chose to pay his his rate personally, his landlord would not lower the increased rent which he had previously demanded in order to pay the parochial rates due on the house. In that case, the profit would be to the owner of the house, for he would not have to pay the com pounded rate as heretofore, and the expense, annoyance, and loss would all fall upon the parish. In one of the east-end parishes 3,000 summonses for non-payment of poor's rates had just been signed by the magistrate. If the proposed amendment were agreed to, the speakers had no hesitation in saying that the number of defaulters would be doubled. It was stated that there were above 70,000 houses in London in which the owner paid the rate, and a speaker urged upon his lordship that the pro vision of the bill to which allusion had been made should not apply to the metropolis. The Earl of Derby, in reply, said the principle of the Go vernment bill was that the citizen who lived in a house a certain time, who paid his rate by a certain day, and who was trusted by his fellow-citizens to discharge his obligations, should have a vote. Now, in the cases brought before him by the deputation it was alleged the tenant of a com pounding landlord paid the rate in his rent, and therefore ought-to have a vote. That was not so, for such tenant did not pay the full rate. The Go vernment were desirous to meet, as far as possible, the wishes of the House of Commons—but the prin ciple that no man should have a vote unless he were rated and personally paid his rates was one from which the Ministry would not swerve. If the bill were passed, the Government would be urged by the deputation, but he distinctly wished them to understand that he did not compromise the Govern ment to do anything in the matter one way or the other. He believed the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exohequer that the owner might continue to pay rate as heretofore, provided he and the tenant agreed to it, would be found most satisfactory in the solution of the difficulty. He fully agreed with the deputation as to the financial difficulty they felt in the case ; but he must remind them that her Majesty's Government had also to look at the ques tion from a political point of view. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was present at the interview, expressed in a few words his concurrence with the ' Premier, and ,the deputation,! after thanking the noble lord and the right hon. gentleman, then retired. ARISTOCRATIC SHOOTING AT THE GUN CLUB. There was a very - great gathering on Saturday at the Gun Club Grounds, Wormholt Scrubs, Shepherd's-bush, to shoot for the " Oaks Open Handicap," that being a "sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 1 sov forfeit, for peers, mem bers of Parliament, officers in the army and navy on full pay, and members of all the aristocratic clubs; also the new club at Edinburgh, certain Paris clubs, and all the jockey clubs in Europe." The conditions were as usual, Mr. G. Arthur Battcock, the secretary of the Gun Club, being handicapper and referee. There were 45 original entries, of whom 37 came to the shooting point, and the large ad dition of 10 post entries, making the prizes—first, £l5O ; second, £6O; third, £25. The excellence of the handi capping may be estimated by the very limited number of forfeits (three gentlemen, by-the-bye, arriving in the middle of the third round, half au hour too late), and the post en tries, one thereof, vs will be seen, taking the second prize. Certainly the weather was as unfavourable as could well be, a strong bitter wind blowing only benefiting . the "ring" batters; for though it helped the birds oftentimes in the ground, ascout's" buttery never let ono escape. With fairly punctual regard to time, Captain Baskerville com menced, lie being the top weight, and the birds were killed or missed, as will be seen by reference to the subjoined score, which we may, however, thus summarise as to the ❑umbers. In the first round 28 were killed and 19 missed. In the second round the shooting improved, 31 birds being killed as against 16 that got away, but six gentlemen, having missed two birds, were not called up again. It was just as the last bird but ono in this round was being shot at that Mr. Percival llambro came on to the ground and "post entered," an exceedingly fortunate visit as tha result proved. The third round was nearly "trick and tie," as out of 41 birds, 21 were gathered; but 13 gentle men who missed had previously done so, and they there fore had thenceforward the pleasure of looking on left. The fourth round still further thinned tho ranks of the competitors, as 11 birds out of 28 got away, and eight gen tlemen retired. In the fifth circle five more retired, and three others missed, leaving 15 for the final round. Of these Mr. Percival Ilambro, Mr. Spencer Lucy, Viscount Stormont (the president of the club), Mr. Henry Rao Reid, and Sir Charles Legard, Bart., had killed five each, and ten other gentlemen four. Of the gentlemen 'abovenamed Mr. Lucy and Mr. Hambro killed, the noble president being very unfortunate with a rattling good bird, that only just managed to perch on the palings, and drop dead on the other side. Of those who had killed four, Mr. J. Joe, V.C., C. 8., Captain A. Steuart, Mr. J. Davies, Captain Digby Boycott, and Mr. Cl. G. Brodie, missed, leaving Mr. Spencer Lucy and Mr. Percival Hambro to shoot off the tie for the first and second prizes, the third being left between dip eight gentlemen whose names are recorded hereunder, the final award being Mr. Spencer Lucy first prize (£150); Mr. Percival Ilambro, upon whom a large amount of money was laid when ho had killed four birds, second prize (£60); and Sir Hugh Hume Campbell, Bart., third prize (£25). The betting throughout was exceed ingly heavy and often fanciful, the "list prices" being 8 to 1 v. Captain Baskerville, 10 to 1 each v. Sir Hugh Hume Campbell, Bart., and Mr. Leslie Leslie, 12 to 1 each v. Viscount Parker, Mr. Spencer Lucy (the winner), Mr. Percival Hambro (taken very freely), Lord Willoughby de Broke, and Mr. G. G. Brodie; 13 to 1 v. Hon. R. C. Hill (the vice-president of the club), 14 to 1 v. Mr. J. G. Jee, V.C., C. 8., 15 to 1 v. Mr. Berkeley Lucy, 20 to 1 v. Mr. A. D 3 Vere Beauclerk, and 25 to 1 v. all others. The following paid forieft :—The Marquis of Graham, Mr. 31‘Arthur R. Payne, Sir Thomas Hesketh, M.P., Mr. A. Blackborne, Captain Geo. Johnstone, Mr. Julien. Arabin, Dr. Sharpe, and Mr. W. Watts. The birds, which were supplied by Offer, of Hammersmith, were un deniably good, but the shooting was beyond the average, if the wind be considered. Of 213 birds shot at 123 were killed and 90 got away, but only, as elsewhere indicated, to enrich the pies of the "outward division." The fol lowing is the score : Yards Birds 'Total Rise. Shot at.

Tins ABYSSINIAN CAPrEVES.—lntelligence has been received from the captives in Abyssinia up to the 2LI of April. They were still prisoners, and in chains, in the fort of Magdala. There had been no change in their treat ment by King Theodorus, and no sign whatever that he in tended to liberate them. In fact, they are now fully per suaded that nothing but force will secure their liberation, and are ready to take the risk which coercive measures would entail upon themselves. One of them writes: " Her Majesty's Government are fully aware of our posi tion, and its must now be clear to them that our release by conciliatory measures is quite out of the question. They must either resort to force or leave us to perish. Mean while, the country generally appea rs to be in a state of complete lion.

After his morning exercise yesterday, and a few hours' rest, Vauban, contrary to general expects.., tion, left here for Paris, to compete in the Grand French Prix, and his action will suit better in that race than in the Derby. Caucasus accompanied him, to make a pace, and should it be good enough he ought to endorse the correctness of the Two Thousand result. Lord Ronald took Harpenden a mile and a half ; and Redcap was leading the two year old colts, and Ischia the young fillies. Lecturer, Miss Havelock, and John Davis galloped nearly two miles. Lady Elizabeth, after cantering, went a, mile fast. Rumoured Fenian Outbreak. The following sensational hoax appeared in several o the evening papers of yesterday : "Cork, Monday. " On Thursday night a military force was attacked at Mitchelstown by a largo Fenian force, who fought with bludgeons and staves. A desperate fight ensued, in which many on both sides wero seen to fall. "Ultimately the military were driven off the field. Fuller details are wanting."

THE GREAT SIMULTANEOUS RIFLE MATCH TRROIRMOUT GREAT BRITAIN.--The great "Simultaneous Eufield Rifle Volunteer Match for Battalions and Com panies throughout Great Britain" for 1867 was inaugurated yesterday, by the commencement of the contest at, it may almost be said, every rifle range in the kingdom. Since the organisation of the volunteer force no rifle match on such a gigantic scale has been held, and nearly every vo lunteer regiment in the service having entered for it, the results are anxiously looked forward to.

IMPORTANT FISHERY DECISION. —On Saturday the Salmon Fishery Commission, sitting at Carlisle, pro nounced judgment in respect of a largo number of claims to use poke nets, stream nets, and other fixed engines in the Solway. The commissioners declared all such engines to be illegal. The decision is of a most sweeping nature, inasmuch as it deprives whole villages of the means by which their inhabitants have for generations earned a livelihood, and in consideration of the fact the commis sioners deferred the execution of their orders for removal till the present season shall have closed. The shore of the Solway for miles is covered with these engines. DEATH OF DR. WAMBEY.—The death is an nounced this morning of Dr. Samuel Jewkes Wambey, who has had since its establishment an extensive practice in the Court of Probate and Divorce. He was educated at St. Mary's Ball, O xford, where he groduated iu 1848 LAMBOURNE.

TA CTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING. There was the customary after-Derby crush at Albert gate to-day, and from an early hour till late the business of paying and receiving engrossed the attention of mem bers. It had been generally supposed and feared that tha settling would prove a bad one, but the reverse was the case, as the money came in freely enough, and the instances of absenteeism were confined to a few small men. One nobleman, who is known to have lost an enormousamount, was the first to settle his account. We understand that he discharged a portion of his claims on Saturday last, and that his representative at. the clubs entered the chief establishment immediately the doors were opened this morning, and paid every shilling that was due. The book makers are almost all heavy losers by the Derby, whilst the general public have reaped but little advantage, those who gained by Hermit being, for the most part, "winners against their will." This is easily explained by the fact that during the winter and early spring Mr. Chaplin's colt was backed at a short price, and when the horse subse quently retreated to any price in the quotations there was no opportunity of hedging. Mr. Chaplin, the owner, his confederate, Captain Machell, Sir Frederick Johnstone, and one or two others, appropriate the bulk of the win nings between them, and there has, perhaps, never been a Derby when so large an amount has been confined to so small a circle. It is almost superfluous to say that for the nonce speculation on future events was at a complete stand still. There were occasional offers of 3 to lon the St. Leger, which met with no response, and no other event was mooted. SOILED DOVE CASE.—The following notice in re ference to this case was posted in the room:— " Committee-room, Tattersall's, Saturday, May 25, 1867. " The Committee of Tattersall's having received a letter from certain members of the Rooms relating to the Soiled Dove Case, resolve— " That a decision having been already come to by a legs quorum of the Committee, they cannot allow it to be re opened, nor will they consent to abdicate their functions by allowing the case to be referred to any other tribunal.
