number of pigs for sale, and asked ;him to have a
joint of pork. He agreed to have a joint, and from
enquiries be found that the defendant had not killed
a pig but had bought a joint of pork from a neigh-
bour. Defendant also said he was going to "Lawyer
Stokes," at Dudley, when he expected to pick up
£4O or £5O as compensation for an injury be had re-

said it was quite true that he went to Dudley to get
some money. He had lost an arm and an eye n
an accident on the railway, and the Company had
promised him recompence. lie could also show

criptions from the public, and that he had been

for a week for the production of the book and for
him to make his defence.

SPORTIWG NOTES.
(By own our Turf Correspondent.)
SEASON OF 1879.

Jack Frost is already making several of our pro-
mote sof jumping fixtures feel uneasy for their
February fixtures, stil they are in a better position
than the Dog Derby nominators—the Waterlo Cup,
for if this event is postponed" all bets are void,"
which will make terrible commotion amongst the
early "punters" who were in the" know" respect-
ing Coomassie's nominator.
The entries. weight. and acceptances have now
appeared for the Spring Handicap—thus we may
falrly say the ball has been set rolling for the
season of 1879, and those who have found delight
in reading our weekly articles for past seasons, will
again have the opportunity of benefitting by the
same. There are certainly a few each year wt.() re-
h following the sport for pastime and pleasure
but where there is one who secedes, there are twenty
retraits who delight in following out and patroniz-
ng the pursuits of their fore-lathers. Englishmen
are born lovers of horses, and love to see them com-
pete in their equine struggles for supremacy, and
when properly conducted no noble sport or pastime
can be witnessed, which has helped to completely
stamp out such brutal games or sport as Bull-bait-
ing, Cock- fighting, and Pugilism ; and ,there are
still a few of the puritanic class who would com-
pletely do away with the pleasurers of the enjoy-
m.-,nt of our national sport—horse racing. But we
can afford to be generous to this class of the com-
munity, and allow them to go their own miseralile
hypocritical way. But such people cannot afford to
see others enjoy themselves —their laughter is as
wormwood to these long-faced puritan-class ; but
you who enjoy the broad green acres of the race -
curse, your boating on magnificient rivers, your
cricket on the green turf and' other out 10 )r
sports can afford to sympathise—not retaliate Itt
scathful euphuism to their miserable denuticiat.or,-
of your noble sports and pastimes
Next week (weather permitting) the Birmingham
Steeplechase will come of, when all who delight ia
this cross-country sport will wend t teir way to the
bard-ware city, and the Midland Counties will no
doubt send such an influx of visitors en the second
day to witness the chief event—the Birmingham
Grand Steeplechase. that I shall be tempted to give
a summary of its entries.
The distance to be encompassed is three and a-
half miles, and it has secured an entry of 40 sub-
scribers. Congress heading the list with 12st 101 b,
andfSwing having the minimum of lOst. Amongst
the entries we fined such heros as Slanal, C,tizen,
Juggler. Bugle March, Liberator, Royal Oak, Chitn-
ney Sweep, and Master Mowbray, but time makes
strange havoc with veterans, and younger blood may
be found who will be able to lower their colors on
the day. Therefore as the acceptances are not yet
to hand, and to rely on previous form, I shall take
BUGLE MARCH and ROYAL OAK II
as my champions, and that the winn .r should come
, from one of the two. _ _ _

Next week I shall give sonic hints on the Spring
Handicaps and Waterloo Cup.

distressing complaint by a physician, who is desirou
hat all sufferers may benefit frcm this providential die
every ; it is never known to fail, and will cure the n.ost
hopelesr case after all other means have been tried,

I !pi:I(MS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, DIFFICULTY OF BRE/a lI-
ING, are speedily cured by KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES
(recognised and recommended by the Medical Feculty).
No other remedy is half so effective. One Lczerge
alone gives relief. They contain no Opium, Morphia
nor any violent drug, and may be taken by the most
delicate. One or two at bedtime ensures rest when

VALUBLE DISCOVERY FOR THE HAIR.—If your Hair
is turning ray or white, or falling off, use "The
Mexican Hair Renewer," for it will positively restore in
every case Grey or White Hair to its original colours
without leaving the disagreeable a mall of meet
" Restorers." It makes the hair chasmingly Leautiful
as well as promoting the growth of the hair on bald
spots, where the glands are not decayed. Ask your

The PRIVATION OF THE USE OF ONES'S Lam while tie
other functions of Nature are intact is a serious mortifica-
tion to the actively disposed. Such, however, is the con.
dition of the victims of rheumatism or gout. To walk
without enduring agony is impossible, to use the arms,
free from excruciating paia, is equally impracticable. A
feeling of gratitude therefore pervades the frame wben
the means are afforded of using all he members without
suffering. This, we confidently affirm is presented in
the judicious and frequent application of POWELL'S
RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION. It is past all doubt the
grandest pecific for the evils we have named, and others
of a similar character. May be obtained of all
Chemists. Price is lid, and 2s 9d. Laboratory, 114

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Diseases of the skin

heads, and the most inveterate skin disease to which
the human frame is subject, cannot be treated with a
more safe and certain remedy than Holloway's Ointment,

so purify the blood, that these diseases are at oLee

cines operate mildly, and surely. The cures effected by
them is not temporary or apparent only, but comr lete

"NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND."—Procrastina-
tion with many is the besetting sin. Everything is put
off till " to-morrow." The torpoid liver is unbeeded
until jaundice, consumption. or abscess of the liver is
established. These maladies are curable if arrested in
time by that fine tonic and alteratis a medicine, PAGE
