The usual number in the park on 'Sunday is about 8. Sir

perk is ill MASON'S district. There was no survey of the

mined by Mr. Ellis—Was 48 years of age, 22 yeses in the
force, sod superintendent linos 1880, a native of South
Wales. Was on duty is the park on the Ist of July with a
party of his division. He took up his position on the Xs=
sinstoo side of the Roosiving-how. That part oi the area
occupied by his uses was very quiet.. The crowd on the
other side of the Receiving-house was very disorderly. The
horses of • carriage ran away, and nearly came la sow
toot with him. Just after, • constable of the II division
pointed out a man whom he said had throws two states at
witness. Directed the man to be taken into custody • be
was fined 10s. by the magistrate. Soggeeted to Mr. Highs,
that it would be advisable to clear the carriage drive.
Brought twenty-five of his me., told them to form across
the road la two partite, theft rode in frost and told

sent is reports in referent* to the expected =toting. He
(mitoses) 'sported that be believed there would be • WWI
number in the park, more to show their feeling 'plait Lord
R. Grosvenor's bill than oat of curiosity. Drew this infer-
ence from the information of his sergeants and inspectors.
There were • great many well dressed people in the park.
To have carried out the orders to keep the people back from
the rails strictly, there ought to have been two or three
hundred more policeman in the park. The crowd got
irritated after they were removed from the road, se it pre-
vented them from caritas out their object of annoying
persons =carriages. On the whole this crowd was very
disorderly. Did not see any rashes made by the polio& If
any were made it was not by his orders. Saw one man ap-
parently addressing a crowd. Sent a sergeant and some mos
towards them. When the polies appeared the man went
Ogilvy.

Wile on daty in the park on the Ist of July. He staffinnai
his mea between the statue of Achilles and the eat wed ef
the Serpentine. The crowd became very groat about co
o'clock, but there was very little distarbance in the win
of the cries under him control. Bsw the hones of a can
• frightened. Saw some stones and pieces of briska
thrown into the air. His men had no occasion to sot daring
the day.
To Mr. Mitchell—Henbary, the park-keeper, informed
one of his inspectors that 20 hurdles had been broken.
To the Chief Commissioner—Saw only one wounded
person carried off—it was • boy, with a wound on his
bead.
Inspector George Coombe& of the C division—Had charge
Of the Vine-street station from 2 p.m. On Sunday till 8 a.m.
on Monday. Seventy•two persons were brought is from
the park. Had seven cells at his disposal. Thirtieen
persons were is custody when be took charge. Of
the thirteen, two were felons, the r.st disorder-
ing. They were in the upper cells. When he went
on dutye too lower cells were in good order, having been
clean that moraiss. The first perms brought from the
park was 'barged with stealing • watch. He was put foto
see of the lower cells being the street. Put the fint park
riot.= into the upper cells with the disordering. The
prisoners came in so rapidly that he had not time to maks
any amusement :When the upper cells were fall, he put the
prisoners late the lower ones- At his request, Soperiationdeat
O'Brien applied to Sir R. Mayne for leave to remove some.
Great eotsolalnts were made of the beat. He caused the
doors of the mils to be opened. The large room up-stain
was =espied by constables. The charges against the people

stooge, sad smelts onthe polies ; Oa. was charged with •
rescue. All wore charged with riot. He several times
gave permission to any that wished to Doom oat into the
Pmealle-
Crossoxassined by Mr. Mitchell—He gave the beet ao.
cosemodation he could under the oireauntaaces. The street
outside the station was full of people until 12 o'clock. Was
entirely taken by savories at the number of prisoners brought
in from the park. He received no °niers to prepare for an
extra number. If any expectation bad been entertained of
oath a largo number, arreagements might have been made to
distribute them at different dollops. He did not think it
right to put the prisoners to the large room, as it faced the
most. When Mr. Maki:ems in he asked, "Could he be
bailed ?" Whams said Its could. Bot from the number of
poisoners bossed in be thought something serious must have
egoesiseml it. H. *ends= eonsidcredit better not to take
bail without lostruetigoo. He got Superintendent O'Brien
to apply to Sir IL Mayne. The answer was not to take any
bail. • gentleman offered to give bail for Mr. Mair, or to
allow him to on Mair. He (witness) west into the sell in
which Mr. Mair was at about half-past ten. He wee lying
down. It was then very warm. Two of the men brought

MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Waswici, JULY 31.

3tOWN V. OTERSOZT.

Messrs. Mellor and Merewether for the plaintiff, Mr. John
Brows, • veterinaty 'urgent), of Warwick ; and Mr. Sir-
jeant Miller end Mr. Hayes for the defendant (nominally so),
who is an innkeeper at Lienlerin-Ardsn.
The action arms oat of a steeplechase which took place at
Henley-in-Arden in April last. The plaintiff entered
horse named The Minor (on behalf of its owner, a gentle.
man of the name of Kraut) for the race, paid his sahecrip-
%ion, was weighs.. ant started, bat did not win the first beat,
in conseque DO/ of an accident, when some protested against
his running the secone.. heat, notwithstanding which he ran
the second and third heat, and won them both. It was
objected that baying been distanced in the first beat, the
winner of the last two heats was not entitled to the proceeds.
The stewards were divided in opinion on the subjeet, two
being in hie favour, and the third egotist the plaintiff's
claim. The hones ran under certain conditions, one ef
which was, that in case of dispute the decision of the
stewards should be final, but there was nothing about
distancing in these conditions, there being no understood
role in steeplechasing with reference to the distance.
The Judge.—Either the stewards have decided, or they
have not; if they bare decided, the case is settled ; if not,
it is still open to their decision.
• &Omit Miller.—There is no derision, and before there
eau be a derision in the plaintiff's favour, the stewards must
be unanimous.
Capt. Robert Bhp, of Butler's Marston, was called and
stated that he, Mr. Wortivngtoo, and Mr. !Inward took
the dispute into consideration, bat did not come to a deci-
sion, as two of them decided one way, and the other steward
differently. In crone-exuatnation the witness stated that he
was present while the horse came to the starting post in the
second heat. Did not hear Mr. Milliard, who was acting
steward, asU out to the jockeys, The last fence but one
from the winniag-poet must be the dirtanes, and any horse
not passing the distance will be disqualified from running
the heats." Did not hear him say there was a distance. The
owner of 't Minor " claimed the stakes. .

Mr. John Worthington, of Leamington, stated that after
the races were over, he and Captain Ithys and Mr. Milward
dismissed the dispute, there hying the landlord of some hotel
also present, who took a great part in the discussion.
Witness did not think they cams to a proper understandiog,
and they did not decide it thoroughly. Witness and Captain
Rive were of one opinion, and Mr. Milward and the land-
lord in qusation were of a d4erent opinion.
Captain Rhys was recalled, and stated that be had had
much experience as a steward. The practice in the racing
world where the stewards could not agree we., that the
decision of the majority was final. This was always first
done by word of mouth, and afterwards by writing.
The judge directed a nonsait.
