ROYAL NA7IONAL LIFEBOA7 111 7 87 ITU- 7701 V. A meeting of this institution was held on Thurs day, at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Mr. Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of £25 was granted to pay the expenses of the Caister large lifeboat the " Birmingham," in putting off during a heavy gale of wind on the Bth ultimo, and, after considerable diffi culty, bringing ashore the crew of fifteen men and a large ship's dog from the barque Spark ling Wave, of Sunderland, which had stranded and afterwards became a total wreck on the South Scroby Sand. The same lifeboat was also instrumental on the 28th ultimo in saving the schooner Wave, of Boston, and her crew of four men. ahe vessel had stranded during heavy blow ing weather on the south part of the Inner Barber Sand, where, but for the timely arrival of the life boat, she would have become a total wreck, and her All probability have perished. - A reward of £22 was also voted to pay the expenses of the institution's lifeboat stationed at Penmon, in going off during a gale of wind, and rescuing eight of the crew of the brig Jabez, of Scarborough which had stranded on the Dutchman's Bank, off the Anglesey coast, on the 23d ult. The master of the vessel having failed to get into the long boat, from which the lifeboat took three of the men, unfortunately perished. A reward of £lB 13s. was likewise granted to pay the expenses of the lifeboat at the Lizard, in going off during a fresh breeze from the N.N.E. on the night of the 26th ult., and bringing ashore two men who were found in the fore -topmast of the schooner Selina, of Swansea, which was totally wrecked on the Outer Stag rocks, near Lizard. The master of the vessel and a boy were unfortunately drowned before the arrival of the lifeboat. The secretary of the Looe branch had reported that while the life boat was out for her usual quarterly exercise during a strong wind on the 27th ult., she fell in with a small boat containing two fishermen,who were in great distress, as they were quite unable to pull against the strong wind, and were rapidly (Living off the coast. The lifeboat at once took the small boat in tow, and brought her and the crew safe to land. The Wex ford and Cahore lifeboats had gone of on the 22d ult. during a fresh gale of wind, and had, in con junction with some steam -tugs, succeeded in get ting off the ship Conway C as tl e, of Liverpool, from the Black water Bank, upon which she had stranded. Rewards were also granted to the crews of the society's lifeboats at Padstow, Winchelsea, Camp eiSouthport, Lytham, an d Courtown, for b var tn various services during the recent gales. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of different shore-boats for saving life from ship wrecks on our coasts. Payments, amounting to £730, were also ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. It . was reported that the Earl of Strafford had liberally offered to present to the institution a lifeboat to be stationed on the Isle of Portland, if one could be shown to be needed there. A lady, through Captain Fishbourne, R.N., C. 8., had expressed a wish to present to the insti tution, in memory of a deceased son, the new life boat about to be placed at Broadstairs. It was also stated that Mr. Christopher Brown, of Settle, York shire, had collected altogether upwards of £BOO for the institution, and it was decided to appropriate to him the new lifeboat about to be sent to Penmon, Anglesey, and to name it the " Christopher Brown." During the past month new lifeboats had been sent to Ross Links, Holy Island ; Bull bay, Anglesey ; Penarth, Wales ; and Stonehaven, N.B. A hearty reception had been given to the boats at these places. The Master of Sid ney Sussex College, Cambridge, had readily granted to the institution a site of ground on which to build a Cleethorpes lifeboat-house. The insti tution had received a legacy of £l9 195., left to it by the late Mr. Edward Weston, of Leicester ; £lOO had also been bequeathed to it by the late Mr. Roger Barrow, of Newcastle -on-Tyne. The Worshipful Company of Mercers had given an additional donation to the society of fifty guineas. Mr. Martin Gray, merchant, of St. John's, Antigua, and Captain N. Marquand, of the .barque Matchless, of Guernsey, had collected for .the institution, in the island of Antigua, £3O. The Rev. F. Hutton, chaplain of Messrs. Bagnall's school church, Gold's-hill, West Brom wich, had also forwarded the sum of £5 17s. Bd., being a moiety of a collection made in that church in aid of the funds of the institution. Re ports were read from the inspector and assistant inspector of lifeboats on their recent visits to vari ous lifeboat stations on the coast. It was stated that Mr. Thomas Brooks, who had previously painted an admirable picture of a lifeboat ser vice, had now completed another fine paint ing of the " Launch of a Lifeboat," which would probably be-included in the forthcoMing exhibition at the Royal Academy.

CHANCERY CHAMBERS. THE EARL OF JERSEY V. DICKER AND YATES: In this case, which has been before reported, an application was made to settle the suits in Chancery. It will be recollected that Lord Jersey had obtained an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding on a number of acceptances given by his lordship, and subse quently an application was made by his lordship that the bills of exchange he had given should be deposited in Court pending the suit, and the matter was adjourned to Vice-Chancellor Stuart for the 17ch inst. Since then the suit has been arranged between the parties. Mr. Lording (Freshseld and Co.) stated that he had to apply on the part of Lord Jersey that the large sum paid into court by his lordship when the injunction was obtained should be paid out to his lordship, and that the suit should be dismissed, each party paying their own costs. The other side here consented. Mr. Dalston, for Mr. Dicker, and Mr. Turner, on the part of the other defendant (Mr. Yates), attended, and consented. Chief Clerk (11r. Charde)—Then the case is settled ? Air. Ludwig—Yes, sir. All we want is your order that the sum paid into court (£8,100) should be repaid to the plaintiff. _ The Chief Clerk said he could make the order subject to the approval of the judge. It was a matter of course, but he generally sent cases, in which money had been paid, to the Court. The order was made merely to be mentioned, and satisfaction was expressed at the conclusion of the proceedings. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVFM'ING, APRIL 9, 1868. SHARE LIST. —This Day.

CHARGE AGAINST A FATHER QF DROWNING HIS SON. Richard William Wootcott, 39, cabinetmaker, was indicted for the wilful murder of his son, Thos. George, by drowning. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and Mr. Warner Sleigh defended the prisoner. George Jeffery said he resided at 2, Crescent place, lioxton, and the prisoner had for three weeks lived in the same house as a lodger. Prisoner's family consisted of five children, four of whom lived with him. The boy Thomas George was about ten years of age, and he last saw him alive between five and six o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th of March. James Slater, a barge carter, said on the 17th March he was on the banks of the canal near Kings land-bridge: The path is about 14 feet at the place where the prisoner and the boy passed him, but near the North-road-bridge it is only five feet six. Charles Thompson, another barge carter, said he was at the entrance to the basin of the Kingsland bridge on the evening of the 17th of March. A man and a boy passed him on the bridge, the man was pushing on quick, and the boy was trying to keep up with him. • By a Juror—lt is by no means a usual thing for persons to walk where the man and boy -were, as there was no thoroughfare ; but he had often seen many people there. James Pritchard, a boy, living at Limehouse field, said he was an apprentice to a lighterman, and was 19 years of age. On Tuesday, the 17th of March, he was on the towing path of the Canal, near the New North-bridge, when he saw a man kneeling down with his hands in the water. The prisoner was that person. Witness was about a yard from him when he first saw him. lie (wit ness) did not see anything in the water, and after he had passed him about a yard, he said " Are you drowning a dog ?" to which the prisoner said, " No, a boy is in the water." When he told him a boy was in the water he (witness) pulled off his coat and handkerchief, and shortly after that he saw the hair of some person's head and a hand moving about in the canal. Prisoner asked him, when he saw him pulling off his coat, whether he could swim. He replied "No." He (witness) threw his hand kerchief over the boy's head to try to pull him ashore. He succeeded so far that the prisoner could have taken hold of him had he liked. Prisoner was still kneeling down when some sugar in a paper fell out of his coat pocket, when he turned round and picked it up. He told the pri soner to take hold of the boy, as he was sinking, but the prisoner, instead of doing so, turned round and picked up the sugar. It was very dark at the time. The boy then disappeared beneath the water, and he never saw him come up again. Witness then told the prisoner he had better get the drags, and we both went to the lock-house and got them. A man came with us with a lantern. He had shown a policeman the spot where the boy went down. Whilst we were going for the drags he asked the pri soner who the boy was, when he said it was his son, that he had sent him for some sugar two hours previous, and he (prisoner) had come there to look for him, and that he found him, and was going to take him to the City-road. After we had got the drags he (witness) asked the pri soner how the boy got into the water, when he said the boy slipped in, and his slippers fell off, at the same time taking the boy's shoes out of his pocket. The soles of the shoes were a little damp, but not wet. The prisone r did not ass i s t in dragging, but said he would go f or a po li ceman , but did not do so, as a policeman came up. P r i son er stood looking on whilst he (witness) w as d ragg i n g. He was dragging au hour for the b o d y , b ut i t was no t recovered until the next morning, when ho (witness) assisted to pull it into the boat. Th ere w as no thing tied round the boy's legs. In cross-examination the witness said it was very dark at the time. The prisoner had one hand in the water and the oth er on t h e b an k. The prisoner appeared to be tryin g to pull the boy out of the water as well as he. Wh en th e p r isoner asked him whether he could s w i m , h e sa id his boy could not as his legs were tied. The prisoner could not assist him with the drags, as it was only one per son's work. The policeman took the prisoner away before he (witness) had done dragging. The pri soner was writing his address when the constable got up. The boy did not slip out of the handkerchief when he told the prisoner to catch hold of him ; but he was told to take hold of him as ho was slipping out of it. He knew nothing about the slippers until the prisoner pulled them out of his pocket. Neither of us called for assistance whilstrwe were trying to get the boy out of the water. By the Judge—The boy was in the water right under the bridge . Cross-examination continued—The pathway is narrower there-than at either side of it. There are no weeds growing in the canal near the bridge. _ . . Police-Constabie Hubert Stammers said he went to the lock-house, and there saw the prisoner. He (witness) said he had been told that he (prisoner) had thrown his son into the canal. Such a charge would amount to murder ; but as there was no per son there who saw him do it, he should not take him into custody for such a thing, but that he should detain him. As they were going to the station-house when he was talking about the matter, the prisoner said, " May the Lord's name be praised if ever I did such a thing." When the charge was read over to the prisoner at the station-house, he said he was innocent. When the prisoner was searched, half a pound of sugar, some thick cord, and a pair of slip pers were taken from him. lie was quite sure that when he took the body of the boy out of the water the next morning there was nothing tied round the legs. Police Constable Bradshaw said when he went to the lockhouse, after it had became known a boy had been drowned, he found the prisoner. lie was very calm and collects], He said, " Pm the man." Prisoner accounted for the cord found upon him by saying that it had been tied round some waste paper which he had just sold. The surgeon said he had made a minute examina tion of the body and could find no marks of_ any ligature round the legs, • Mr. Slergrin summing up the evidence, said the whole of the conduct of the prisoner when his son was drowshag was altogether opposed to that which would actuate a person whose child _was drowning accidentally. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Piggott.) THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN FINSBURY. Thomas O'Hearn, 21, shoemaker, was indicted for feloniously shooting at John Hills with intent to murder him. It will be recollected that the prosecutor had for merly been in the police force, and on the 3d of March he was returning home, near Fitzroy-square, on his way to Chiswell-street, when he saw two young men run past him. He turned round to watch them, and when the prosecutor had fol lowed in the same direction, and had arrived at the corner of Whitecross-street, the prisoner came up to him and deliber ately fired a revolver at him. He heard the ball whiz past him, and in his fright he leaned against the shutters of a shop, and called out " Murder," " Help." The prisoner then turned round and fired another shot, and then a third, but the prosecutor accidentally fell to theground, and thus providentially escaped death. Prosecutor, when Constable Maley came up, told him to take the prisoner into custody on a charge of attempting to murder him. A struggle took place, when the prisoner again fired at the prosecutor, and then at the constable. The prisoner was known to the police as one of the persons frequenting the house in Pulteney-street, used by the two Desmonds and O'Keefe, the men now under a charge of wilful murder arising out of the late terrible explosion at C lerkenwell. Hills, in his cross , -examination, said he had, since his quitting the police force, been employed by the police to watch suspected persons. On the even ing of the occurrence he had been to Hackney wick, where there had been a benefit for the Clerkenwell sufferers. He had also heard that two constables, named Chown and Chamberlain, bad been shot at by a man named Clancy. He had also heard that the prisoner was connected with Fenianism. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Frederick Toomey and Henry Solomons pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with stealing some boots. They were sentenced to nine months' imprisonment each. Walter Rose, William Tant, and William Adams, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with a burglary in the house of Mary Ann Ashby. Rose was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude, and the other two prisoners to one year's imprison ment. SPORTING IN CELLIGENCE TADCAS TER STEEPLECHASES.—WEDNEspAy. This little gathering took place under rather unfavour able circumstances, so far as the weather was concerned, rain falling at times durine , the early part of the reorning, and making the course somewhat heavy going. The at tendance, nevertheless, was quite as numerous as expected, the Leeds division mustering very strongly. A goodly number of horses having arrived, the card looked more than ordinarily flattering, five events (exclusive of a Match) being set for decision, each of which had received a tolerable entry. There was little improvement in the weather on reaching the ground, and though nearly all over grass, it was, heavy and uncomfortable in the ex treme. _ _ Londesborough Cup, value 50 sovs, weight for age About four miles.

RICHMOND, Tuesday.—Owing to the drought that has prevailed the last week or two the Low Moor was exceed ingly hard, and Coates and Elliot only took their horses there. Watson had his team on his privatirgrounds, and Lund's exercised in the Dibdale Tree pastures. Notwith standing the hardness of the ground, however, Elliot sent the Vedette filly and the Stockwell filly a good two-mile gallop. Caprera and Ashbank went a mile at half-speed. Coates's did some good work. Watson's had a good gallop by going up the allotment and through two adjoining fields, which is about a mile and a half. Snowden rode Raunds a good sweat.

La Mousse, Frolicsome, and Pride of Erin galloped well. Bracken and Fortunio went a gallop steadily. Monsieur Montgomery was here to see his team at work, and I expect Fervacques and La Mousse will be going to France soon. They are both very fit, and likely to give a goodaccount of themselves. Wed nesday.--Fervacques led La Mbusse a good two mile gal lop. Frolicsome and Pride of Erin went the same distance at a steady sweating pace. The remainder of our horses did good mile work. Those doing well for the Chester Cup are Priest, Minster Bell, Mercury, Honestish, Pali sade, Fervacques, and Bracken. The Priest has grown into a great fine horse, and goes as strong as a lion, and should he keep as well as he is now, he will be found a good animal this year. 1 have a great fancy for him for the Chester Cup.

They then had the sweaters put on, and were sent a splendid sweat of five miles. After the first mile Zapolya joined them, and all pulled up well. CHILTON. —Lilac is doing good work of a mile, and she is getting very fit, and goes well. Precocious generally does his work by himself—from half a mile to three-quar ters —looking and going first class, and he will win a few races at short distances. Sprite is doing work, and I think he will be wanted at the Kingsbury and Hendon Spring Meeting, where we have a few more engaged• M.A., The Scout, Careful, Alberta, Laura, Woodman, S Agnes, Congratulator, Pelisse, Hazelwood, Caliban filly, Joskin colt, and Muscovite colt are doing slow work, being led mostly by Osprey, who is going well again now.

Lycimnia, Jeanie Deans, Salliet, Parma, Lady Evelyn filly, Tarquin, Isis, and Archeress filly did a mile, all going well. Mon day.—See-Saw wont a rasping mile and a quarter gallop. Lady Highthorn went three-quarters at full speed. Christmas Carol only walked. ILSLEY. -Tuesday, —Dalby, after two cantors, went his mile nud a half gallop. Viridis took her usual trotting and walking exercise. She looks as well as possible, and has much improved since her arrival here. Warrener has also had in good work Salamanca, Canard, and Finesse. Lady Clinton, Proctor, and Dawdle are only trotting and cantering about. Jones is giving come useful work to Belfast, Athelstan, Alastor, Alba, and Luna, all of whom look and go well. T. S. Dawson is sanding along Cour tier, Landscape, Slowman, and D. T. The Chester Cup nag, Landscape, moves in rare form. Dover is doing steady work with Dick Turpin, Tumbler, Cap-a-pie, Ligurian, Hatchment, Noyre Tauren, and others. Achievement is taking long steady work by herself, looking and going first-class. Lowe's in work are Vampire, Goodfellow, Chivalry, Orion, Amour Propro, and King of the Rovers. Ironmaster Las been taking it easy since Northampton. lIEDNESPORD. -Cliff has been sending Micas and Kid derminster some good sweats and strong mile and a half gallops, both horses looking wonderfully well. Of his others nothing could be doing better than Greenhorn, Torch, Ambition, Tightfit filly, Albatross, Troubadour, Flying Jib, Master Willie, De Clare gelding, Thermometer, Dunrobin, Sister to Flying Jib, Melody, Vermicelli, Colo nist colt, Retrousse, Master Thomas, Old Calabar colt, Knight of Kars filly, Sister to Selim, Verity, Skirmisher filly, Buccaneer filly, and Ben Webster filly. Janitor has been going through as many manucevres as a circus-hurse, but I think he is now improving. Hopwood's lot are looking well, comprising Meanwood, Rejoinder, Flying Scud, Arran, Master Butterfly, Frolicsome, Joyful, Fenella colt, Gunboat f., Wynstay, East Lancashire, and Rescue. Saunders has been sending along St. Valentine, Lollypop, Nogara, Lady Audley, Cruiskeen, Crusade, Whinyard, and Citadel colt. Palmer's The Clown, Pantaloon, William, Alicia, and lona have been doing good mile and a half work. FINDON.—Sir David Gam was tried, in the presence of his owner and Lord Howth, along with Owain Glyndwr, Nelaton, and The Breach, but I am sorry to say he cut up dreadfully. He will, however, be far better by September. Our Chester Cup horses are most of them going on well. The Breach left on Saturday for his former quarters in Ireland. I wish ho had remained here, for I like the horse myself. Thalia is off work, and it looks as if it would take some little time to get her round again. Romping Girl and Proserpine have beon in physic, but are now all right. Dwain Glyndwr is doing first-class. FyFIELD. —Whalebone led Franchise and Boanerges a 4 mile sweat, and afterwards a gallop of about a mile and a half ; Tremble going the gallop with them, and all pulling up sound. Safety and At Last galloped. Dulcet was lead ing the two year olds. Picnic, Marshal Ney, and Brother to Knight of the Crescent were taking things quietly. Monday.—Whalebone led Franchise a nice gallop of a mile. The latter, I think, will run well for the One Thou sand should she be brought out. Marshal Ney and Picnic galloped a mile. Tremble, Brother to Knight of the Cres .cent, Boanerges, and Citron went a mile and a half. Safety . ack, and galloped two miles by herself. . At Last, §kipj itattlellifin6 filly Etill'opea a mile. LAMBOUILNE.—The following of the Russley team have been doing goo d work since my last :—Liddiugton, Glen dors, Atayl9wors sul;ufiticae3 GANus) 11241 kaa9ll, 5t94.. well colt, Jolly Tar, North Briton, Miss Croft, and Mas querade filly. The Lady Lurewell filly, Cawdor, Lady Morgan, Miss Hayes, and the Morgan La Faye filly were only walking. Saxon's are out daily, and amongst them I notice Vortigern looking and going particularly well. Wetherell has been' busy with Lady Diana, Zisca, The Don, Black Jemmy, Singapore, Rahab, and the Duke of Beaufort. I shall look well to our horses engaged at New market, and let you have full particulars in my next re port. EPSOM, Monday.—Armstrong was busy with Spider, Aurifera, and Diophantus filly. Sherwood gave the same horses he had out on Saturday three good breathers of & mile. Nightingall took his to Walton Heath, and the other strings did but little. Tuesday—ln consequence of most of our trainers being at Bromley there was very little doing on the Downs. The horses were generally con fined to cantering exercise. We are sadly in want of rai. here, as our training grounds are getting fearfully hard. I have not seen Beeswing, but I aln happy to be ena.bled to assure your readers that her lameness was but of a, very slight character, and she will rosume work in a day or two. LEWES. - On Monday, Ines and Samson, after cantering, had a gallop of about a mile and a half, but this morning (Tuesday) 1 did not see Samson out. Ines, after a canter, had a steady gallop by herself. The two year olds—Young Fenton, Wanderer, Woful, Workman, Goffinka, Bonnita Lass, Witchcraft, and Festival—had a canter, and then went a steady gallop of one mile. The Miss Woolgar colt generally goes out with the second lot ; he has been doing some good steady work, and will most likely go to New market next week for his match. Black Diamond has not done much work for some time past, and I should think he will not be sent to headquarters, as he can have no chance k for the handicap.
