Bd." THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY AND THE LEEDS AND BRADFORD LEASE.—Mr. Carbutt, cf Leeds, one of the _Midland directors, yesterday ad dressed a letter to the shareholders in the Midland, stating the objections which may be urged to the lease of the Leeds and Bradford line. After defend ing his own proceedings upon this question, Mr. Carl - inn proceeds—lt is one of the covenants of the lease that, after the Bradford directors have expended all their money, which by their Act of Parliament they are empowered to raise, the Midland Company shall provide whatever further sums may be required for the completion of the lines. In execution of this covenant, the Midland Company has already paid to the Leeds and Bradford Company 'considerable sums tf money, and the Bradford directors have stated in their last report that there will be still wanted 95,0001. It is impossible to say precisely what the total outlay will amount to, but here is an enormous expenditure beyond the powers granted by Parlia ment. Now it seems to me doubtful whether the clauses of the Bradford Act, which enabled that com pany to lease its lines to the Midland Company, war rant the making conditions which exceed the Parlia mentary powers. At any rate the Midland Company has never obtained Parliamentary powers for such a purpose, and certainly has no fund out of which it can legally pay the demands of the Bradford Com pany. Mr. Carbutt adds that he will be to party to any attempt to upset the lease on technical grounds, and that he will not place any obstacle in the way of its being carried out by his colleauges beyond enter ing its protest on the minutes of the hoard.

The usual fortnightly sitting of this court was held on Monday last, at the Sessions-room, before John Addison, Esq., and attracted more than usual interest in consequence of a jury having been summoned in one of the cases entered for trial, and also because, as it was the first court held since the passing of the new Act, it was expected that the Learned Judge might probably make some observations relative to it. This expectation proved to be correct, for upon taking his seat his Honour addressed the persons pre sent as follows : In an address which I made at the opening of this court, three years and a half ago, describing the principal features of this new system of law proce dure, I ventured to say—" It is easy to see that if it gives - satisfaction, it will ere long be extended to greater amounts, and other subjects." Some time ago the jurisdiction was extended to matters of insolvency, and since the last sitting of the court an Act of Parli.iment has been passed which effects a further extension ; so that now the ordinary jurisdiction of the court comprises debts, damages, and demands, not exceeding 501., and actions of re plevin to any amount, and ejectments of tenants hold ing over where the rent does not exceed 501. a year. ikkt SE A Q , , 14 „ t ' , „ - '2 3 VN.—CROSSE and BLACK. otleto e vectfiji:Y°Ts in Ordinary, by appointment to her Ma qitt,'lalltua_3' to inform the nobility and gentry that they ' , r t 4 6l4 . e t a ri or roplre ed SOHO AUCE, which will 4:tnlnq fl,Porgoe„TerY description of game ; S also their improved s.ls4 al p 4 'ect fim 'a Anchovies.

The chief differences between our procedure end that of the ordinary courts of common law are, that we have no special pleading, but go to the trial cf the merits at once; that for the trial we bring the judge to the parties and their witnesses, instead of bringing them to him ; that we sit for the trial at short intervals, instead o f t w i ce a year; an d for dis covery of truth apply to those who are most likely to know it best, namely, the parties themselves, whom the ordinary courts by the existing law are not al lowed to hear. If we find either party taken by sur prise we adjourn the matter to the next court day, ordinarily occasioning a delay of a fortnight only, never more than a month, and, a very trifling ex pense ; whereas, at the assizes a cause cannot be ad journed, and if the plai n tiff e l ect to b e nons uited he must suffer the delay o f h a lf a year, pay the defen dant's costs as well a s hi s own, an d i ncur all his own expenses over agai n .

It is but a pre judice of education which leads the lawyers to an ex cessive dread of the perjury of parties. Of this the following statement will give the proof. I take a note in writing of every case which comes before the court. From these notes I have ascer tained that in the County Court at Preston during the last year 1,108 defendants admitted that the plain tiffs had some cause of action at that time or previ ou,ly; whilst only 64 absolutely denied that the plaintiffs ever had any right at all. 1,070 admitted the demand in various ways, thus :- 163, by payment of the demand into Court. 153, by admission made in open Court. 270, by admission cut of Court, afterwards proved in Court, such admission being made after action brought. 234, by not appearing at the hearing, which in the superior Courts is considered an admission, and in the County Court may be more reasonably so con sidered, for there appearance costs nothing ; but where nevertheless the plaintiff was still required to prove his case on oath in open Court. 200, by admission made to the plaintiffs after action, but who proceeded no further in consequence of the defendants promising to pay without proceedings, or stayed proceedings at the solicitation of the de fendants on account of their poverty. Though this last number is not given with absolute precision, the error cannot be large. 38 defendants admitted part of the demand, and the plaintiffs accepted judgment for the part so ad mitted. 100 defendants disputed the plaintiffs' demands on various grounds, as infancy, coverture, statute of limitations, discharge under Insolvent Act, pay ment, &c. In these 100 cows, the plaintiffs obtained jultr ment it. v,ii an .1 in 33 „y• part of their deMand. The defendante obtained judg ment in 28. In the cases of the 64 defendants who denied that s. d.

This excellent Family rill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common symptoms of which are costiveness, flatulency, spasms, less of appe tite, sick headache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness of the eyes, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels,: indi gestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent Inac tivity of the bowels, causing a disorganisati6n of every function of the frame, will, in this meet excellent preparation, by a little perse verance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun diced appearance, strength, activity, and reuewe 1 health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions ac companying each box.

N°. 18,108 0 .] LONDON FRIDAY fl 3 * KA SEPTEMBER 6 1850. •• da - qj the plaintiffs had any demand, the plaintiffs recovered judgment for their whole demand in 34, for part in 3, and the defendants recovered judgment in 27. Fearing that there might be something peculiar in the Preston Court, I proceeded to take a similar ac count of the cases in the County Court at Blackburn. The result so nearly coincides, that that return need not be stated. These accounts show conclusively that in the County Courts truth is the general rule and falsehood the ex ception, indeed the rare exception. If such be the case with persons in the humblest walks of life, what is to be expected from those in the higher, where the loss of character is of so much greater importance, to say nothing of the effects of education or religion ? The new Act provides that the fees to be taken for causes above the value of 201. shall be such as under the former Act are charged for sums above 101. So that justice will be done for the larger demands at a cheaper rate than for the smaller, which seems hardly fair ; not that we should desire them to pay more, but the others less, for the courts are not merely self supporting, but are yielding a surplus of I believe 30,0001. a year to the Treasury. It seems to me a mean thing for a great country to be receiving any part of its revenues in the shape of fees from the suitors of County Courts, most of whom are humble, and many necessitous. Indeed, an enlarged consideration of the subject would show that courts of justice are established, not so much for the benefit of the few who have the mis fortune to require them in their own cases, as for the many who by reason of their existence, example, and salutary action, have no need to apply to them. I have traced out upon a large map of England the boundaries of all the courts, and I find their size and shape, in general, carry their own vindication. In those cases where this is not apparent upon mere in spe tion, I don't doubt there were reasons. No doubt some of the courts have not business enough to pay their own expenses, and a suggestion has been made that these should be suppressed, and their dis tricts added to those adjoining. I cannot agree in this suggestion ; it would not only put the suitors to greater trouble in travelling to try or to pay instalments, but would be attended with other inconveniences. The necessity of a court, or its excellency, is not to be measured by the number of its causes, unless, indeed, it be by the fewness of them ; for that few ness may arise from a general confidence amongst the suitors that there is no use for tho party, who knows himself to be in the wrong, to make a resistance that would be ineffectual. But this is not all ; there is another reason, which I feel acutely : the judge who sits every day in the week has need of some easy days. I sit every day of every alternate week, and every Monday throughout the year, and travel three hundred miles a month. This is an amount of labour, considering the kind of it, enough for any man; the drive through the fresh air, and the short hours of one court, enable me to stand the fetid atm , sphere and long hours of another. The new Act contains a power of appeal in matters of law to two judges of the superior court, who are to sit together for the decision of cases reserved Theoretically there should be an appeal from every first judgment, but practically this cannot be —very small matters cannot bear the delay or expense of it. Some one has said it is ordained that medicine shall be nauseous and law dear. Hitherto there has been no appeal, but the suitors of this circuit and the next adjoining have bad much of the benefit of an appeal, without any expense, and with very little delay. The judges of this circuit and the next have conferred to gether upon cases reserved for consideration. I have never hitherto refused to reserve a case; indeed, I have never thought the request to do so unreasonably made ; and I have often reserved cases without being requested. Parliament has confined the legal appeal to cases above twenty pounds. The conferences I have men tioned will still continue, and will probably often render unnecessary the legal appeal. Hitherto, there have not been many actions for legacies, or shares of residues. People have been so long accustomed to consider that trustees and execu- tors cannot be brought to book, except by a chancery suit that would ruin all parties, that they don't think of proceeding for so small a legacy as twenty pounds. Now that the jurisdiction is enlarged to fifty pounds, we may expect more such actions. The inquiry will always be a complicated one, and we must not ex pect it to be concluded in one single sitting, but must be satisfied if at the first sitting we can ascer tain the right of the plaintiff to his demand and the liability of the defendant to account, and if we can take the account itself at the second hearing. Seve ral such cases have been thus disposed of; in some the plaintiffs have recovered their demands, in the greater number the account has shown that the executor had no funds in hand. There has been no case yet in which I thought the inquiry improperly called for. The former Act declared that plaintiffs suing in the superior courts for sums under twenty pounds on contract or five pounds in tort, should not he entitled to costs; but the superior courts having held that a suggestion was necessary to deprive the plaintiff of his costs, and that this suggestion must be drawn with a particularity which ordinary ingenuity was not equal to, and that the defendant when his lawyer was lucky enough to draw the suggestion right must pay the costs of it himself, which sometimes amounted to as much as the plaintiff's costs, and always to a con siderable proportion of them, the provision of the former Act became almost a dead letter. The new Act cuts the matter short by declaring that no sug gestion shall be necessary. The late Act left it very doubtful, in cases where the goods of the party were not sufficient to pay both the execution creditor his debt and the landlord his rent, which of them should be paid first. Some of the judges held in favour of the creditor and sorze in favour of the landlord. There was no means of bringing the matter before the superior judges, and therefore each judge was obliged to act upon his own judgment. The new Act contains a provision that the landlord shall be preferred: as this is an enacting and not a declaratory provision, it is so far an ac knowledgment that those judges were not incorrect who held that the former Act gave the priority to the execution creditor. _ . In some parts of the circuit I have been applied to by parties to hear cases which were out of the juris diction of the co ur t, as r i g h ts of way, repairs o f r oa d s , &c. both parties con sen ti ng to abide h as if it were a judgm en t o f the court. The m he y ne o w pin A io c n t enables the court to try such cases by theprevious consent of the parties i n wr iti ng filed in the court when the process is taken out. The proceedings will then go on and the judgment will have all the effect of that of any other court of record, whatever may be the amount of the sum sought to be recovered, and although the title to land, tithe, toll, or franchise may be in question. The power of appeal will apply to these cases. In the County Court of Lancashire, as it existed be fore the late Acts, some four or five professional gentlemen regularly attended the court as advocates, and though all other attorneys had an equal right to plead, they seldom exercised it; the consequence was that the court had much of the benefit of a regular bar. Though the remuneration now allow able to advocates is greater than it was under the first Acts, and although advocates will be more fre quently required, as the subject-matter in dispute is larger, still several of the courts of this circuit will have too little business to induce barristers to attend. I would therefore recommend that a limited number of gentlemen should regularly attend the courts as advocates, and should intimate to me their intention of doing so. And I would also recommend that others should in general abstain from pleading. I give this recommendation, not merely that there should be a better remuneration to those who attend regularly, but because experience proves the advan tage of the English system, which makes the advocate a different person from the attorney, who communi cates directly with the parties, and because many at• torneys, of great ability in other departments of their profession, being unaccustomed to advocacy are apt to occupy much of the public time unnecessarily, and to ask irregular questions leading to unseemly dis cussions. Whilst I acknowledge the advantage of a bar, I am desirous to keep the expense of proceeding in these courts as little oppressive to the suitors as may be. I would therefore recommend the advocates to accept small fees, and to seek their account rather in a large number of small fees than in a small number of large ones ; and though this practice will employ more of their time and labour and of mine, we must be content to make this sacrifice if the public interest re quires it. Mr. Sergeant Dowling, the judge of the York cir cuit, has lately publicly recommended the advocates to resume the ancient practice, which has been resumed in many county courts, of wearing in court a profes sional robe ; a practice which has been found useful in preserving order and decorum. I beg to join in this recommendation. It is desirable that not only the practice but the appearance of all the county courts should be alike. They are now the established courts of the country, and we should omit nothing that may win them the public respect.

After our yesterday's report was closed, the chair man having decided not to put the amendment of Mr. Coates for the admission of the fifth shareholders to dividend with the general shareholders of the com pany, another amendment was proposed by Mr. Coates, to the following effect : " That it is expedient that the claims of the holders of fifth shares be settled, and that the directors be requested to enter into negotiations with those shareholders, and report the result at a special meeting to be held on or before the Ist of November next." After some discussion this amendment was adopted - - - - Mr. VANCE desired to know whether, under those circumstances, the directors would enforce the call of 1/. las. per share which had recently been made upon the fifths ? The CHAIRMAN said the board was of opinion that the call could not conveniently be postponed. Mr. W. MARSHALL said he had already paid his cal), and he was in a position to say that it would be highly prejudicial to the interests of the company un less the call were enforced. It was a sacrifice which the holders of all descriptions of stock must make in relative proportions on procuring loan!, and he thought it behoved the holders of fifths not to throw any finan cial obstacles in the way of the board.—(Hear.) A pledge was subsequently obtained from the chairman that the call should not be made at present. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that such of the shares in the Huddersfield and Sheffield branch as are paid up should be consolidated into stock. The resolution passed. The CHAIRMAN then introduced what was in reality the vital business of the day, namely, the considering and deterrning upon the reduction and re-constitution of the hoard of direction. The meeting had lasted upwards of six hours when the question was intro. duced ; many of the shareholders had left the hall, and those who remained shoWed palpable symptoms of restless impatience. The chairman described the proceedings at several meetings of the company held since March last, at which it was decided that the 'number of directors should be reduced from thirty to twenty, at which a joint committee of shareholders and directors was appointed to determine upon the mode in which the change could best be effected, so as to introduce some " new blood " into the direction. On the 16Th of July this joint committee sub mitted to the directors the following list, which they proposed should constitute the new board, the first ten gentlemen being previously members of the direc tion, and the last ten new members of the board : Gerge Anderton, Thomas Broadbent, Robert Gill, Houldsworth, James Hatton, Edward Harper, William Marshall, William Stuart, George Wilsun, H. W. Wickham, John Brogden, Thomas Barnee, Ralph Creyke, William Evans, Samuel Fielden, J. Hargreaves, jun., Francis Mowatt, M.P., James Mel lor, William Rae: son, and Absalom Watkins. Mr. LEEMAN, of Yo: lc, objected to the list, on the ground that the Yorkshire towns were not fairly re presented. He conceived that all the large towns on the line should be repre.fented, and it had formerly been the practice to have the board constituted half of Yorkshire and half of Lancashire gentlemen, with the addition of one or two from London, or from a distance. The Hon. Proprietor submitted a list which would give to Lancashire 13, and to York shire 9 members, viz.—" That the board be reduced to 22, including the ginitlenaen who have seats in right of agreement with other companies, and that the following gentlemen constitute the board so reduced : —Henry Houldsworth, George Wilson, John Smith, Janos Hatton, and Samuel Brooks, Manchester; William Stuart, Liverpool ; li. Gill, Wigan ; W. Marshall, Preston ; Captain Laws, near Bolton ; C. P. Grenfell and L. Schuster, London ; Joseph Bate son, Leeds; William Rand, Bradford; Henry W. Wickham, Low Moor ; George Anderton, Cleck heaton ; C. H. Jones, Huddersfield ; William Moxon, Pontefract ; James Audus, Selby ; E. B. Beaumont, Birmley ; W. Radcliffe, Rochdale ; William Hornby, Blackburne ; and that the 16 old directors be re quested to reduce themselves to such a number as to admit of the election in their places by the board of all or any of the following gentlemen :—Mr.Botterill, Leeds ; I‘ll. Mellor, Liverpool ; Mr. J. Hargraves, Southport ; Mr. Thomas Barnes, Bolton ; Mr. Samuel Fielder), Todmorden ; and Mr. Ralph Creyke, Raw cliffe." Mr. ROBERTS, of Chester, seconded the motion. Mr. MowATT proposed that the discussion be ad journed to the next day at 10 o'clock. This proposal was made at 9 o'clock r.m., and the question of adjournment was still being discussed a few minutes before midnight. . Mr. GAEouorGNE proposed that a special meeting to consider the construction of the board should be called for the 2d of October. , _ _ _ This motion was ultimately carried, the meeting having lasted nearly 12 hours. Previous to this Mr. Mowatt canvassed the inc.mbers of the board present, and from them individually obtained a pledge that on the day of the meeting their seats should be at the disposal of the shareholders. A committee of ten ge - atlemen was appointed to make another selection of a board, to be submitted to the special meeting. AIRDRIE AND BATHG&TE JUNCTION. — The half yearly meeting of this company was to have been held in Glasgow on Tuesday, but as the shareholders in attendance did not amount to a quorum, no busi ness was transacted. The following is a copy of the report issued by the directors :—" The directors have to report that, in terms of the resolutions of the last half yearly meting, they, on the sth April last, lodged in the Commercial Bank 1,1061., to pay the year's interest then due to the sharehollers on the sums paid up by them on t! - ,e shares held by them re rpectively, had cireiulars with warrant to each shareboldc-r for payment, The dirrctorB new produce -sbeE.t a t 31 st J u l y , 1850 , account current as bali t i ;ce audited and confirmed: by auditors of the company, which shows the balm:A in the hands of the directors, _ -7 _ " The stewards of the Turf Club having inquired into the conduct of the rider of Blucher in the Queen's Plate on Wednesday, are of opinion that, under the 9th rule of the Queen's Plate Articles, Keegan be disqualified from riding for Queen's Plates; and further, that we consider the instructions given by the owner of Blucher to his jockey to be highly improper.

The scullers watch between Oxlade, of St. Paul's wharf, and Williams, of the Custom-house, for 201. a side, came off yesterday, and was a most determined and gsllant contest. The forme: is well known as having been defeated ,by Gale, of Pimlico; the latter as the victor of Jones, of the Custom-house; and although both men are young, their spirited exertions of yester day augur well for their future advancement in the path of celebrity. The interest of the match was very con siderable, and a large party were assembled on board a couple of steamers and on various other craft to witness it. Bttting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Oa lade, but no great amount of business was done. Williams won the choice of station, and went to the Middlesex side of the cfritro arch of Putney-bridge, the dis ' lance being from there to the Ship at Mortlake, Oxlade being on the Surrey Bide. The first two strokes were taken so adraitably by Oxlade that he drew his stern-post level with his opponent's outrigger, and in this position they remained for a few strokes only, Oxiade being at Searle's his own length clear, and increasing that lead to three lengths off Craven-college, and four at the Crab-tree; but here a change came o'er the tenour of the scene." Williams put on a most powerful spurt, and applied himself so gallantly to his work that he gained stroke by stroke upon his adver sary, and at Ilanamersmith gave symptoms of over topping him. Itch by inch, from this point to Chiswick Eyot, Williams still gained until the nose of hie boat came almost kvel with the others out-rigger; but the exertion necessary to effect this had been too great, and he was unequal to a continuance of it, and after a few squkes, in which it became difficult to say how long either could have continued so close and severe a con flict, Williams was unable to proceed, and, resigning the contest, got into the cutter dead beaten. Oxlade, who at the time was much distressed, then rowed the re mainder of the distance., IRELAND. THE CROP PLUNDERERS. DUBLIN, THUR , DAY.—Th e corn lifters are at their old trade in North Tinerary. On Sunday last about 180 reapers, and as many more binders and helpers, proceeded en masse to some lands near Nenagh, to cut down fourteen acres of wheat, which they car ried off in triumph, having at their disposal a large number of horses and cars. This outrage took place on the estates of Count Dalton, and the maurauding tenant recently took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, owing his landlord about 5001. rent. He was, never theless, discharged on the promise of fulfilling certain conditions, which, it seems, altogether escaped his memory, and he continues to hold the lands clear of all rent and liabilities. " DEATH CF TWO WORTHIES." Under the above head the Newry Telegraph an nounces the demise of the Very Rev. Holt Waring, Dean of Dromore, and Mr. James Watson, of Brook hill, in the county of Antrim, at the patriarchal ages respectively of eighty-five and eighty-seven years. Both gentlemen held prominent positions in the Orange institution, the latter, it may be recollected having been removed frcm the commission of the peace by the Government of the late Sir Robert Peel, in consequence of Air. Watson having taken part in a procession or party demonstration deemed illegal in the eye of the law. The Deanery of Dromore is in the gift of the Government. WIEDER IN TIPPERARY. Another dreadful case of assassination in the South Riding of Tipperary is thus recorded in the Free Press of yesterday : " About 6 o'clock A.M. on the 29th ult., as Thomas Batters, of Clashdrumsmith, was going along the road at Breansha, near Emly, he was fired at from behind a hedge, and wounded in the wrist and thighs with large shot, making a dozen wounds. The assigned motive was that Batters was employed as caretaker on crops under seizure for rent, and also blamed for entertaining the keepers in his house. The unfortunate man lingered unfit the following day, when he' died of his wounds at 8 P.M. An inquest was held by Mr. C. Hunt, resident magistrate, and Mr. John Manfergh, justice of the peace (in the absence of the coroner), and the following verdict returned:—` We find that the deceased came by his death by receiving a gun-shot wound on the morning of Thursday, the 29th ult., on the road at Brcanshs, by some person or persons unknown.'

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE NORTH KENT RAIL• WAY. —Yesterday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, the numerous passengers travelling by the North Kent Railway were greatly excited in consequence of the following occur rence. It appeared that the company had let to Messrs. Pulinger and Rattenbury, the patent leather japanners, two of the arches under the railway, numbered 416 and 407, in the Rotherhithe New-road. These places, which have a very wide span, and extend some distance in depth, were fitted up as workshops and drying stoves. At the time above stated a number of japanned cloths that were being dried in the stove or oven became ignited, and in the course of a few minutes the fire made such progress as to defy all attempts to subdue it, until everything in the place of an inflam mable character was destroyed. Three men who were at work in the shops forthwith commenced removing the timber which enclosed them, but before they had ac complished one-half of what they intended, the boarding caught fire, and then the flames, which were fed by the japan, &c., in the shop, rushed up the side of the railway high above the telegraph wires. The wind, which was blowing strongly from the north-east, wafted the flames some feet over the railway. One of the trains which had started shortly before the outbreak was compelled to dash through the flames and smoke, but although the heat was most intense, it is understood that neither the carriages nor engine sustained any injury. In the course of a few minutes the brigade engine from Rotherhithe station arrived, and was quickly followed by that from Southwark-bridge-road. The West of England engine was also soon at the spot. The firemen having set to work from a ditch behind the railway, were enabled to get the flames extinguished by five o'clock, but not until the drying-house and workshop were destroyed. Fortunately the arches of the railway received no material damage. REPRESENTATION OF POOLE.—In addition to the four candidates whom we named some days since, rumour has since added Sir Charles Napier and /qr. Gordon, although they are not yet ostensibly before the electors. The Slier borne Journal of yesterday says—" At present it is prema ture to speculate upon the result, as the party who supported Mr. Robinson, under the idea that he would improve the trade of the port, seem yet undecided." [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Dreadful Bad Legs cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract of a letter from John Eastman, Esq., of Buenos Ayres, dated April 3, 1845, "To Professor Holloway. My dear Sir,—Your Pills and Ointment are in very great repute here, and many wonderful cures have been performed by their use ; one in particular I will relate. A Portuguese farmer, who had been confined to the house with sore legs for more ihan five years, which ren dered him incapable of following an \ kind of work, is now so perfectly cured by the use of your Pills and Ointment that he can follow the plough and attend personally to the most labo rious farming operations." Sold by all druggists and at Pro 244, St ran d, London. Lessor Holloway's Establishment, Plate. Dac-an-Durras won the former in a canter, and Captain Grant the Plate; Blucher, who was backed fora considerable sum against the field, having been pulled off immediately after starting and led back to his stable without going round the course, or his jockey coming to weigh, a proceeding which excited the indignation of every one present, except those who had laid against him. The matter underwent an investigation by the stewards, who declared Keegan disqualified from riding for the Queen's Plates at the Curragh in future, but at the same time decided that all bets lost on the event should be paid. The following is a copy of their de cision : -
