lads. Bolien's orders, on the 24th of July, WM
ordered to dress down a horse—that is, to clean it.
He did the work very improperly, leaving tim dry
sweat or. He had also been very disobedient and
neglectful sinoe that time, refusing to work under
pretence of Wooed, and, on being examined by Dr.
Skinner, that gentleman declared that there WU
nothing the mitter with him. Within an boor
of the doctor's visit to him the defendant went to
work. He (witness) had been twenty-five years in
Mr. Day's employ, and defendant had been of treater
trouble than all Mr. ~Day's other lade daring that
time. Wm. Goddard, shoemaker, said that he some-
times worked for some of the men at Woodyatea.
Sometime sines be revolved a letter, under cover,
addressed to a person named Baker. He took it to
Mr. Day, and asked him if be bad any one in his
stables of that name, and who he was to give it to,
He gave it to Mr. Day. About • week after that he
received another letter under cover, and enclosed
was a£s note. ile also took that to Mr. Day. The
writer of the letter appeared to be a Mr. Harris, of
Abingdon, a low betting man, and at Mr. Day's
request, he wrote back to Mr. Harris to know to
whom be was to give the £5 note he bad enclosed.
Harris, wrote in reply, that he was to give it to Mr.
Day's boy, Bolton. He therefore gave Bain the
£5, and took • receipt for it. Before he gave ft
to Sullen witness asked Bollen if the £5 nits was for
him_ and he replied in the affirmative. Defendant
said that be was sent by another man to
Goddard to ask him if be would take in the letters
for him. He (defendant) had not read the letter new
referred to when the £5 was put into his hand. Join
Randall, in the service of Mr. Day, said that he was
present when his master asked defendant whether be
expected &letter about giving information respecting
the homes that were to run, and he said he did. Wit-
nese new him give Goddard the receipt for the £45
note. Mr. Day afterwards found a letter in defend-
ant's box and • number of address cards. The
letter asked for information respecting a horse named
Lavine, by Mirella, which ran at the Stockbridge
races and won. Dr. Skinner proved examining the
defendant, who complained of being unable to work
account of a fall be had received. Refound nothing
the emitter with him. There was a slight mark on
his side. P.C. Hawker said that he WM called in by
Mr. Day to witness the searching of defendant's box.
There were in the box several letters and address
cards of persons in Loudon. The letter referred be
in Goddard's evidence was one of the number. They
all referred to boree-racing. In reply to • question
from Colonel Start, the witnem Chipperfisdd said
that the address cards were those of low betting
men. The defendant made • long rambling defame
in reply to the charge. He said that Mr Day told
him to pull his horse when he did not want the
horse to win, and told if he told lies for him when
any one asked him questions—telling them just what
Mr. Day told kiln, and this was all the information
he had given these people who had wrote to ask him.
When Mr. Day knew be told lies for bun, be called
him " good boy," and promised to "make a man of
him some day." Major Churchill: You imernmseate
young rascaL We find you guilty on all the wants,
and send you to gaol for two months' bard labour.
