THE DISPUTED RACE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-THIS DAT. SADLER V. SMITH. me to know what was the matter. Sadler could not at this time rowed after Kelley, as the steamers had gone up, and Sadler's boat would have been swamped had he done so. When our boat rowed to Mortlake we heard the stakes had been awarded to Kelley. The case was resumed this morning. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Brickwood ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Garth for the defendant. The first witness called was Mr. Willing, the president of the University Boat Club. Having stated the state of the water and the position of the men at starting, the witness went ou to say in the ordinary course of things, Sadler in going towards the aqueduct, in his opinion, was doing everything to effect a start. Lord Chief Justice—Did Kelley go so near the other man as to challenge Mtn for a start? 11,itness---C.2rtainly not. Lord Chief Justiec—l don't mean by words ; but did he ever go so near him as to give him an inti mation that he was going to start ? _ Witucss—No, m y lord ; he never went within fifty yards of him. 1 was in the boat at Mortlake after Kelley bad rowed over the course ; but I heard nothing about any inquiry being made about the manner in which the match had been rowed. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l did not see the umpires when Kelley made a communi cation to them, but they were not in the same part of the boat that I was. Sadler was not bound to remain near the cutter 'at starting. I don't know what Kelley did when he made a communication to the umpires. lie did not row round the cutters, to the best of my recollection. The river was not quite clear at the time of starting, but there was nothing to prevent my seeing both Kelley and Sadler at the time. I don't know the practice of betting, as I do not bet on boat races myself. Lord Chief Justice—What was the exact posi tion of both men when the alleged start took place ? _ _ _ Witness—About 50 yards ahead. Lord Chief Justice—That would have made a difference with respect to the race ? Witness—Yes, considerably. Lord Chief Justice—Was the water at this time in such a state that Sadler ought to have started when Kelley invited him to do so. Witness—Certainly not. I should not have started myself under such circumstances. Mr. Herbert Playford—l have rowed in a con siderable number of boat races, and was one of the amateur champions of the river. I was captain of the London Rowing Club, and have seen all the races for the championship for the last twenty years. Mr. Brickwood—Now, speaking of your know ledge, how do watermen start for a match when no starter is appointed. Witness—Always by trying to get an advan tage over their opponent. (Loud laughter.) Lord Chief Justice•—That is not the question. When no starter is appointed do they start them selves ? itness—Yes, they do, my lord. 1 saw the men on both the 27th and 28th of November. Sadler made t.vo attempts to start, but I did not see Kelley do so once. When Sadler attempted to start the river was unusually clear. I saw Kelley row up the river, as I thought to warm himself. He then stopped and went t o th e ump i re ' s b oa t, and then rowed up the river. At this time he was 150 yards in advance of Sadler. Kelley never gave Sadler time to come up to him before he started. It is not usual for men to row in jerseys. By Mr. Garth, Q.C.—lt is not, however, usual for them to do so. Lord Chief Justice—lVhat is the usual mode of starting ? Is the putting out the hands a challenge to start ? Vmy lord. The other man would understandtha e t s, movement to be an invitation to start. When both men did that, Sadler took a stroke up, which Kelley did not. James Messenger--I am barge build er to th e Queen, and have held the championship of the Thames. I have also acted as umpire and referee for Kelley on former occasions, but on the one in question I acted as umpire for Sadler. Watermen's races are always started by themselves. On the 28th I was on board the um pire's boat. It drifted up yearly half a mile from the starting point, so that they could hardly notice how the men were. I saw Sadler attempt to start once when the course was clear, but Kelley at this time did not attempt to move, although I could see nothing to have prevented him doing so had he felt so disposed. About half an hour afterwards the steamers began to back, and then Kelley went to the umpire's boat. Bush said, " Kel ley, what's the matter with you ? " lie said, " I can't get Sadler to start. Bush said " Then you go over the course without him." Mr. Biffin said "Kelley, if Sadler won't start, you start without hi m, but be sure and tell him." I said, Mr. Biffin, you have no right to tell Kelley to start without his telling the other man. Mr. Biffin said I am referee, and I shall carry out my intention. I protested for Sadler, but Biffin seemed to have made up his mind. I don't think the referee could have seen what the men had been doing before he gave the direction to start. I was standing along side the referee ; I tried to see what they were doing but could not. After these direction from Mr. Biffin, Kelley rowed down the river, and I saw his boat come back. Neither I nor the referee had any means of seeing whether Kelley ever told Sadler to start. When Kelly started the water was lumpy, and the steamers were all higgledy-piggledy, and the river was then not in a fair state for men to row in. I never heard that Mr. Biffin made any inquiries whether Kelley had given the message to Sadler. I protested at Mortlake against the stakes being given to Kelly, at w hich place Mr. Biffin accorded them to him. Before Kelley started to row , over the course I suggested to Mr. Biffin to get into a boat and go and tell Sadler that he said ho could not do so. I have known men to row in jerseys, but I have never rowed for the championship in one. The cold would interfere with a man if he was weak in the chest. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine-1 firmly believe that Sadler intended to row on the occasion. He never said a word about going to a doctor. I never heard Foster say a word about his not rowing. Lord Chief Justice—ln starting for watermens' wagers, is it necessary for both men to be alongside each other ? George Hammertoe — one o f h er M a j esty ' s water- Witness—Yes, my lord ; certainly. men,said, I was Sadler's "coach"—(laughter)—on the occasion of the match. He was i n good condition, to row on both days. I could see everything that took place at the starting place. Sadler attempted to start by t a king a strok e , b ut K el l ey rema i ne d stationary. He never put the sculls into the water to make a stroke. Kelley could have started at that time had he liked to have lost ground. On the second attempt to start Sadler acted as on the first occasion. The water was quite smooth. LSadler was on the Surrey side of the water, on which side the steamboats were lying. It was not until the water had become rough by movement of the tteamers that Kelley wished to start. At that time Sadler, from his position, would get all the " wash," and I heard Sadler tell Kelley it was fit to start, as they were to have the steamers be hind them. Sadler proposed to have another start, but Kelley rowed away to the umpire's boat. Sad ler complained to me that he felt chilly at being kept waiting so long, and I advised him to put his jersey on. He could have rowed very well in it, and I intended him to do so. There was no other reason but to prevent chill in his putting it on. Druitt was Kelley's " coac h." I h ear d Kelley tell Druitt to keep the cutter back, as he was going to row over. Sadler during this time was within the starting limit ; but Kelley was at this period 200 yards higher up the river than his opponent. Sadler, from his position, could not have known what Kelley was going to do. Kelley was above the pier when he started, and was actually going up the river when he spoke to Druitt. lam sure no communication was made to Sadler before Kelley started. Sadler came up to Cross-examined by Serjeant Ballantine—l never heard Kelley called out to Sadler about his hum bugging him, and that if he started then he would foul him (Kelley) in ten yards. I think the word humbugging was used, but I don't know the mean ing of it. (Laughter.) I will be on my oath that Kelley was not within 30 yards of Sadler when be started, or that he ever called out to him that he was going then to row the match. Re-exatnined by Mr. Hawkins—Supposing the men had started when they were close together and Sadler lytd fouled Kelley, that would have given Kelley the race. The Lord Chief Justice—Who fouled on the first day ? Sergeant Ballautine—Oh, my lord, that was an accidental one, and the race was in ccnsequcnce ordered to be rowed again. William Rcdnap, one of the crew of Sadler's cutter, said he had heard Hatumerton's evidence, and he agreed with it entirely. Robert Hillyer, another of the crew of the same boat, agreed in opinion with the last witness. Sergeant Ballantine said he should not cross examine the witnesses on the point whether any communication was made to Sadler before starting, as he should call a number of witnesses to speak to that point. Mr. Hawkins said he would not call further evi dence to prove the practice of starting watermen's matches if it was taken by the other side that the men started themselves. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said there would be no objection to that. Mr. Cox, captain of the Twickenham Racing Club, said he was present at the match. He saw Sadler attempt to start well, but there was no dis position on the part of Kelley to start at all. If any intimation had been given to Sadler to start he must have seen or heard it. _ _ _ The case is not expected to conclude to-day. 111111,D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CrdocK. NOTICE.

Lord STANLEY said that in consequence of his right hon. friend, now First Lord of the Trea sury, being still in attendance on her Majesty, at Osborne, he had to ask for a further adjourn ment of the house until Thursday next. Comparing the time that was usually occupied in the construc tion or reconstruction of a Ministry, that period was not an unnecessarily long one ; he, there fore, had to move that the house at its rising do adjourn until Thursday next. He would also now give an answer to the question the hon. gentleman the member for Cork had put to him the other evening, and he had to inform him that Government would give him a day upon which he could bring forward his motion relative to the condition of Ireland. lie could not then fix the precise date, but on Thursday next that date would be given. All he could say was that it was desirable that the question should_be discussed as early as possible. Mr. GLA DSTONE said he could not assent to the opinion of the noble lord that it was usual, under the cir cumstances ho had stated, to ask the House) to suspend its sittings for a period of ten days; if it was so, he was mis taken. Ho did not object to the proposal of the noble lord, but he thought it ought to be put upon record that it was only dono on special grounds. The necessary absence of the • noble earl from town had no lessened the gravity of the Irish motions which stood for consideration, and feeling the gravity of the questions of Irish policy which would have to bo considered by her Majesty's Government, he freely and cheerfully, but on special grounds, agreed to the proposal of the noble lord, after which he hoped they would at once approach the consideration of public busitess, which promised to be severe, and which was already a month lat:r than usual. The motion of the noble lord was then agreed to. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. In reply to an Hon. Member, Mr. WALPOLE said that on Thursday next ho pro posed to go into committee pro forma, and then ho would. state the course that was intended to be adopted. COAL AND WINE DUTIES CONTINUANCE BILL.
