SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
BRICHTON MEETING.—TrzeDAT.

Remarkably floe weather at Brighton Wooed mat of the
families sojourning at thin lively seadottlinsi town to make
the sagest to the ram-coune. The meeting wmundonbtedly
so extensively marooned as oo previous anniversaries. The
programme cootiined hslf•e.dozen events, and the sport,
which was not productive of large fields, was nevertheless
satiafactoiy, except to the bookmakers, who most have lust
heavily during the afternoon from the sticosases of favourites
that were ticked for much mosey in the dog. The Itrigh•oe
Stakes HAIMICAP brought together an unusually numerous
field, and was won by the favourite, Watclifire, who, it
will be remembered, was third, only beaten a head from Sir
William, in the Goodwood Stakes. This day (Wedoeslay)
the Cup will be decided, when Tim Whiffler will be with-
drawn in favour of his stable companion Paste, who, with
Watchfire and Atherstooe, are likely to be the most dis-
tinguished performers. Since last year a ver► desirable
ehange has been made in the refreshment department of the
Grand Stand, Mr. J. Mimeo°, of the St. Katharine's l>wk
Hotel, Loudon, being the new caterer, and the excellence
of the viands, and indeed the entire commissariat, was
such as to obtain the universal commendation of the
visitors.

took closer order, but at the tarn for the straight ran home
Lord Stamford's ally ran wide, and was quickly out of the

post the pace was improved, but there was no Mention

Myrtle a slight had of the reek who took close order
except Dux, and coming into the straight Myrtle was fol-
lowed by Peeps, Watcher., Shepherdess, Pits Eva, Sir

Myrtle aid Fits Eva, who were running on 010 lower
ground, Sir Willis= and Lspidist occupying the upper
ground. Opposite the enclosure the favourite quitted
Pits Eva, and won by two lengths. Sir William, who came
with a rush at the finish, was beaten a head from the second,

THE ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL
TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

Yesterday the 33rd half-yearly ordinary meeting
was held at the offices in Telegraph-street ; Mr. It. Gam-
s/vox, M.P.. io the chair. The report, of which an abstract
has already appeared in our columns, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN was sorry that the present balance-sheet
was somewhat lees favourable than the hoard had usually
presented, but the canoe was obvious. To some small ex-
tent, perhaps. the distress in Lancashire might have pre-
judicially influenced the receipts, but the principal caused
thefalling.off was that they bad been carrying roe/magma to
Liverpool, Manchester, and severalother comb:hirable places
at a rate that did not pay working expenses. This was
an orde.d, however through which it was necemary
the comrany should peas, During the past six
months 132,000 more messages bad been carried by the
company's wires than in the correspomling period
of 1861, and although it might appear somewhat unsatisfao
tory that they should have done so much more work for lees
money, t hey ought still to be satisfied when they considered
that while the falling off could only endure for a time, the
sources of increase were certain to multiply. The total ex-
peodlture would have been very light for the half-year, but for
the item of proliamenteiry charges,which though exceptional
the board had proposed to charge against the revenue of the
on. half sear instead of dividing it over several, as they
might have done. 16.793/. was charged formaiutenance, in-
cluding troy. for works which would be,executed during the
=oaths of July and August, although they properly be-
looped to the mat half-sear. lie was happy to say that
no accident had happened toady of their cables daring the
pest six months, and that they had been enabled to reduce
the staff and crew of the Monarch steamer to a minimum.
In coi-cluiicie he moved the adoption of the report.
The motion was carried unanimously, and without re-
mar k# ea was the resolution declaring the dividend of
Dle. per cent for the half-year, payable an and after the
15th inst.

NEW Cii M:ICRY Arr.—The new act for obtaining
a declaration of title has just been printed. It contains
49 sections and a schedule. The object of the new act,
millet* will take effect of the let of January, is to enable per-
sons having interest in land to obtain a judicial declaration
of their title to the same, so as to enable them to make an
indefeasible title to persons claiming under them as pur-
chasers for a valuable consideration. The act provides that
any person claiming a title may petition the Court of Chan-
cery for a declaration of title. An appeal is gives on
the dismissal of a petitioe. Where the iovedipitioe is satis-
factory a declaration is to be made out, after notice of at
least three months, which notice is to be advertised. The
court may hear a petition against the title, and an appeal is
given withi% ...is months. The declaration of title is to be
registered, aid a certificate of the court is CO he given CO
the pirty obtaining the final declaration. Another feature
in therm, law is that a "register' is to be kept, in which
persons claiming a title to an estate or interest in land may
be inserted. The Lord Chancellor may make new rules
and orders, which are to be laid before parliament, and his
lordship bas the power to appoint additional clerks to exe-
cute the Dew duties of the act.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Atrauer 5.
(Before Mr. Coomidisicear Holroyd.)
LK RC 110M1211T.AND TATTON.

_ _
After our repat left yesterday,
Mr. Liuklator said the bankrupt was prepared to pledge
his oath that there had been no abstraction of goods, and that
he had rendered the fullest accounts in his power.
Mr. fiarg•ood °paraded that there was no proof of the
whole of the stock of 32.0001. having been sold for 20,9001.
The sale-sheets supplied no evidence of this.
Mr. Edwards (official ensign(*) said there was no identi-
fication of the property bought with that sold. There was
nothing in the sale-sheets to show the quantity of the goods
sold.

Sargood mid the evidence of the maistante showed
that the goods were marked at an avenge profit on the cost
price of 15 to 20 or 30 per cent., and that no goods were
sold below the marked prices save in exceptional cane.
Mr. knidater was ready to examine the bankrupt in con-
tradiction of this statement. To the best of his belief all
the stock had been accounted for ; beyond that be could not
go. A great deal of the sacrifice had taken place at the Hull
establishment.

The Commissioner—Ts there no means of showing what
goods went to Hull?
Mr. Linklater said they were all entered in the books.
Mr. Sargood—The sales there were only 5,4001.
His Honour said that if the uugnees were satisfied with
the evidence of the assistants, and did not believe that of
the bankrupt, they might indict Lim for perjury if so
advised.

The bankrupt Tattoo was examined. He Gemmed his
belief that the goods sold at Regent's-el:cue had been amo-
rally sold at a profit ; but that at the Hull establishment,
which was opened in June or July, 1861, without his sanc-
tion, goods were received from the London establishment
marked at a frightful reduction, as much as from 10 guineas
to 3 guineas, and were sold at • sacrifice. He had entered
into partnership with Mr. Sowerby in 1653 ; he had then no
capital, but Mr. Candy, one of the amignees, gave him 5001.
and lent him 1,5001. more. At that tone he knew nothing
of the retail business. His department was to keep some
of the books. At the stock.taking in February, 1861, a peat
portion of the stock, about two-thirds, was taken at an
edraece of 25 per cent. on the oast price. This
was done by direction of Mr. Candy, and under the superin-
tendence of his clerks. At Regent-street everything was
marked at a profit, and ought to have been sold at • profit,
but as he had not the management or vraogement piths shop
he knew nothing of it. He was never at Hull, and took no
part in the management there. It was understood that
that concern was to be opened for clearing off the damaged
and uufashiosable goods in Regent-street, but he afterwards
found that goods had been invoiced and sent there direct
from wholesale houses in London. As soon as be got •
clerk that was at all efßciect, Mr. Sowerby was in the habit
of getting rid of him, so that he (Tatton) might not know
what was going on in the shop. He had no notion
whether the altimeter of profit given by Jeesor
and Frearsou were correct. The particulars of the
stook-tatting of February, 1861, as taken by Mr.
Candy's young men and by Mr. Sowerby, were entered by
wither in the stock-book. That book disappeared shortly
before the bankruptcy. Diligent search had been made for
it, but without effect. They had about thirty assistants in
the establishment, who each gave particulars of their sales
at the end of the day, and a sale-sheet was made up by the
cashier. The amount of money taken was entered in the
cash-book, and that would nearly correopood with the
amount of the sales. Had no reason whatever to doubt
that the sale-sheets contained the particulars at all the
mho. Goods were charged to the Hull house at • reduc-
tion of 50 per mot., end in some inetariese at much more.
The loss on the trading of 11,4841. since February, 1861,
arose in great pert from the stock being then taken at its
selling prioe.
His Honour said there was no realm for supposing that
the bankrupt had not given, to the best of his ability, • true
statement of his affairs. The difficulty of ascertaining
whether the goods returned as sold represented all those on
the other side arose from the defective manner in which the
accounts had been kept—a carelessness not confined to this
particular instance, but prevailing in most retail houses.
The official assignee was of opinion that it was quite impos-
sible for the bankrupt to give a better account. He would
therefore be allowed to peas on adding a note to the balance-
sheet as to the proportion of the loss which he believed to
have been incurred io the Hull concern.
The bankrupt then &Need ; the order of discharge wee
