THE NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
Although the wind was somewhat raw and cold the wea-
ther could not bepronounced =favoured', coosidering the
period of the year, and the opening day of the Houghton
meeting may be eLd to have paired off in a manner favour-
able to the enjoyment of sport. Betting upon the Cam-
bridgeshire was anxiously inquired about prior to moving to
the course, but the only features were the "knocking out 'of
Umpire—against whom 40 to 1 was offered—runt the retro-
gression of Aurelian to 8 to 1, the horse having
erected a prejudice in the minds of those who had
semillhim take his morning gallop. The card contained nine
awes, including three matches, to be run, commencing at
12.30 and concluding at 4.30: the Cambridgeshire Trial
Handicap and the Cnterion being the principal events of
theday—the first mentioned race, from itasuppcsed bearing
upon the "big race" of Tuesday and the latter as a Derby
Criterion for Hospodar and the rest of the youngsters.
The first race—the Cambridgeshire Trial Handimp—
was fixed, as prwricrmly mentioned, for 12.30, and it
gave rise to an extraordinary circumstance, which
mom than ever proved the unfortunate position of the
starter, Mr. M'George. What took place will be found
fully described below, and it will be sufficient to mention
here, that the race bad to be run twice in consequence of
some blunder between the starter and the advance flag-
man. This business created a deep sensation, and the oc-
curence of such scenes on Newmarket Heath, in the present
advanced state of the English turf, seers almost unaccount-
able. lint the Jockey Club have only themselves to
blame. An unusually largelfield contested the Criterion,
and Hospodar, the favourite. who made his debit only at
the last meeting, woo in a style that stamps him as one of
the best, if not the very best, 2.1 r.old that has been seen
out this season ; and judging from the lion.hearted manner
in which be faced the hill, he has only to " train on," to
be a most formidable gentleman on the Derby-day, Hospo-
day is the property of Count Lagrange, and as the " con-
federacy" between that nobleman and Baron Niviere is
about to be broken up, the Criterion winner and the
remainder of the stud is in the catalogue to be sold by auc-
tion on Thursday next at Newmarket.
The match between Hurricane and Fen de Joie, which
was made after the Oaks to test the truth of the running in
the "ladies' race" at Epsom, wound up the racing of the
day, sod created much interest among the respective pinatas
of the fillies. Odds of 6to 4 were betted on Feu de Joie,
but Hurricane, who it will be remembered was third at
Epsom, made the running from end to end, and won in • canter
by four lengths, thereby affording some ground for
the belief that in the Oaks she did not ex-
hibit her true "form," Betting noon the course
was carried on during the interval between the races, and
Limosina was backed so:freely that she became first favourite
at 7to 1. Aurelian receded a point further, and up to the
breaking cap of the ring gradually got in worse odour, 9 to 1
being offered against him. Myrtle and Clarissa colt,
senior, advanced to 11 to 1 eacb,whilst Gorse, Dictator, and
Lapidus& were all firm at their respective prices. M. Philippe
and Oberon had also found friends at their quoted prices.
Umpire was at last "no-balled," 1,000 to 15 failing to induce
a friend to come to the rescue. The following are details of
the day's running :

the course. Os approaching the site of the old Duke's
Stand, Hospodar came through ; Amelia, Blue Mantle, and
National Guard taking places nut the favourite. At the
foot of the hill Prince Le 800, Amelia, and Blue Mantle
were beaten and retired, and left Hospodar, National
Guard, and Cerinthe in front. Half way up the rails Hoe-
podar was challenged by Corinth' and National Guard, and
Grimehaw called upon his horse, who " hung " for • I
moment, but answeringgsmely in the next stride, "stalled"
off his " challengers," and won cleverly by two lengths; a

Makeshift coming in a neck in advance of Teterrima
and Bertha, who got away several lengths in front
at the commencement, finishing a bad third. A scene of
extraordinary confusion sod excitement ensued when the
numbers of the three first bones were hoisted, it being
observed that the white Sag was still up, and that the
horses we have mentioued remained stationary at the post.
It afterwards trampired that Mr. M•George bad not given
the signal or the weed "go," bet that the advanced Bag-
man had accidentally lowered his fiag, but raised it again
instantly, brit too late to prevent the mistake whisk oc-
curred. Admiral Beus had an isterview with Mr. M.George,
who admitted that be had is some way bees misisaier-
stood by the advanced flag-can, and at once mewed
that it was no start, upon which " the Admiral " decided it
was "no race" and ordered the horses again to the post.

followed by Baron 3lnnebausen, Brows Stout, the Lady

the rest came Makeshift. At the site of the old Duke's
Stand, Brown Stout held a slight lead with the Stockwell
colt, Wingrave, Teterriem, and Boron Meachauses in com-
pany. At this point Makeshift fell beak and win beaten.
A distance from home Teteirima took up the running, but
ten strides from the judge's box the Lady Evelyn colt got
his head in frost ; Teterrims, however, swerved, and berme

ONE BOONS BUNNING MATCH.

This contest wan decided yesterday afternoon, at
Ms. Robert's enclosed pedestrian ground, Thistle Grove-
lane, West Brampton. a nee, which was to test the sir
perierity of Deerfoot over our English pads, was for an
hour's running. the Dian covering the most ground within
the hour, to receive a handsome silver cup, value 101. ; the
second. 5/. ; third, 31. • and the fourth, V. The entries
camprimed the celebrate Deerfoot ; Mower, of Derebain ;
Yams White, the Gateshead clipper (who, it will be
remembered. rest the fastest two ant four mile
rases on record, viz., 9 min. 20 sec., and 20 min.
see.); Harry Andrews, of London ; Newman, of
London ; Ellar, of Cranbrook ; Knowles, of Canada;
sod John Brighton, the four-mile champion. This is the
Mist race Deeirfoot has contended in since his country " per-
fernuumes " and Young White having offered to lay him a
level 1001. that he beat him first past the post, a great
deal of interest was manifested by those present, the two
being backed against the held at evens. Much dissatisfac-
tion was felt that the race had been filed to come off
yesterday afternoon, the two " hot•un's" sad Lang)
being thereby unable to enter the contest; but it is said
that a City bookmaker has offered to give 1001. to be run for
at Hackney wick, ou the same termsas the present encounter;
and also to match Mills to run the Indian any distance for
1001. a side. The time appointed for the start was four
o'clock, and shortly after that time the competitors appeared
on the mark, Eller std Mower being absentees. On the
gun bang fired, the men darted away, Brighton with the
lead, Deerfoot and White being seeood and third, and these
three soon mole a gm, between themselves and Andrew*,
Newman, and En iwles—the flat-footed running of the latter
creating much amusement. The first mile was run in
4 retie. 42 sec. ; two miles in 10 min. ; three miles in 15
min. 27 sec. ; and four miles M 20 min. 40 see. On enter-
ing the 18th lap Deerfoot west to the front and finished the
five miles in 2:i min. 55 see. On the finish of the six miles,
which were done in 31 min. 2 sec., Deerfoor led by 100 yards,
and it became evident that be meant cutting his opponents
down. Seven miles were no is 30 min. 20 sec., and in the
seat lap young White gave up, seeing that his chance was
hopeless. Deerfoot maintained the lead to the finish, com-
pleting in the hour 11 miles 720 yards, which performance
stamps him as the best runner in England. Brighton
was second, Andrews third, Newman fourth, and Knowles
last.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Jo4* Henry Green, 22, described as a carpenter, was
charged with feloniously wounding George Gay, • ',thec-
a/instable, with ietent to do him grievous hoffily harm.
In a sewed count the prisoner was charged with coin-
mittiog the same act with the intent to prevent his lawful
apprehension.
Mr. Clark and Mr. Beasley were instructed to prosecute in
this case on behalf of the Treasury ; the prisoner was de-
fended by Mr. Ribton.
The offence imputed to the prisoner was one of a very
aggravated character. It appeared that on the night of the
3rd of September the residence of • gentleman named
Newton, at Homey, was entered felornously, probably by
some pereoe who had secreted himself upon the
premises, and property of the value of 100/. was
stolen. Among the articles taken was • work-
box, which was stated to be worth 301., acid
upon a search being made round the house by one
of the prosecutor's servants, this work-box was found
hidden under a heap of rubbish, about ate yards from the
premises. In consequence of this discovery the prosecutor,
who is • constable of the N division, and who appeared to
have conducted himself with • peat deal of courage in the
affair, and • brother constable named Gall, were set to
watch the spot where the box had been fouod. On the fol-
lowing night, about nine o'clock, the prisoner and another
mao came to the spot, and the former was seen to take up
the box, and his companion held up a leathern bag in which
they were about to place it, when the prosecutor and the
other constable rushed upon them. A desperate struggle
then took place between the prosecutor and the prisoner,
during which the former had one of his nails torn from the
flesh of his finger, and the prisoner also stabbed him twice
upon the head with • knife, at the same time ex-
claiming, " Now you —l've done you." Notwithstaud-
iog the serious injury he had received the constable kept
hold of his assailant, sod upon his calling out " Murder"
when the prisoner made use of the knife, his companion
went to his assistance, and, after a good deal of difficulty,
the prisoner was secured and taken to the police-station,
where a knife, with blood upon it, was found concealed in
the being of his hat. The companion of the prisoner made
his escape when the other constable, Gall, who had been en-
deavouring to secure him, went to the assistance of the
prosecutor.
Mr. Ribton, in addressing the jury for the defence, said
that the present case was ooe of those in which it 'mold be
perfectly useless to attempt to struggle against the facia, or
to attempt to deny that the prisoner was guilty of the act
imputed to him. At the same time he called their attention
to the fact that the constables were proved to have been in
plain clothes at the time, that the attack upon the prisoner
was a very sudden one, and that he might have made use of
the knife in the excitement of the struggle without the in-
tention of doing any serious injury to the constable, but
merely with the hope of effecting his escape.
The Recorder having bnefiy summed up the evidence, the
jury at once found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge
contained in the indictment.
Mr. Beasley informed the court, in addition to the charge
of which the prisoner bad been convicted, there wets two
other indictments against him for burglary. He was also
convicted during last year of felony and sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment. The prisoner had likewise, it ap-
peared, been in the army, but was discharged in conse-
quence of committing a robbery, and his character was then
described as being "incorrigibly bad."
The Recorder, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, said
that be had been coovicted of • very serious offence, and it
appeared that he had been previously convicted of felony,
and there were now two other charges against him. He
therefore felt it his duty to order him to be kept in penal
servitude for ten years. His lordship at the same time ob-
served that it appeared to him that the constable Gay bad
behaved very well in continuing to perform his duty by
endeavouring to secure the prisoner when his life was
certainly in danger, and be should, therefore, order him •
reward of 5/.
Joseph Rudkin 23, who pleaded guilty last session to •
(large of embezzlement, was brought up for judgment, and
sentenced to three years' penal servitude.
John Doris, Abrahams Cox, and Frederick Fredericks
surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment for mis-
demeanour, in having kept an illegal fair at Camberwell to
the annoyance of the inhabitants and the public.
A verdict of Not Guilty was taken in the case of the
defendant Davis, and the other defendants were required to
enter into a recognisance is the sum of 401. to appear and
receive judgniest if they should be called upon to do so.
Wittiest Bradshaw, 26, was charged with stealing a
watch, the property of Edward Greenwood.
Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and the primmer was defended by
Mr. Sleigh.
The prosecutor sad his wife were walking aloft Holborn.
when a alas, who was no doubt au accomplice of the
prisoner, suddenly threw himself on the pound before them
awl pretended to be in a fit. The primmer came op ap-
parently with the initiation of nualuring assistance, and a
crowd speedily assembled, and in the confusion the prisoner
succeeded is breaking the prosecutor's watch from the guard
chain, and be then ran off, but was pursued and taken into
custody. The watch wee sot toned, but the prisoner had
plenty of opportnaity to pew it to some of his companions.
The jury returned a venlict of Geary.
Haecock, • city policeman, informed the court that be
bed known the prisoner as • thief for several years. In
1857 be was scattered to seven years' transportation for a
street robbery, and he had been is custody for felony
epee several other occasions.

Lather Yeates, 50, described as an accountant, pleaded
guilty to eight indictment, charging him with felousously
forging and uttering deeds relating to property belonging to
the late Admiral Sir John West, in the parish of Lambeth.
Mr. F. H. Lewis, who, with Mr. Montagu Williams, was
instructed to prosecute, addressed his lordship, and raid
that although the prisoner had pleaded guilty to eight dis-
tinct charges of forging deeds, by means of which forgeries
he had succeeded in obtaining many thousands of pounds,
he was compelled to inform the court that these did not
comprise the total number of otlences of this description
that he had committed, for no loss than sixteen
forgeries had now been discovered, by which the
prisoner had conic into possession of more than
10,0001. He believed that until about three years
ago the prisoner had filled • very respectable position and
bad been employed as clerk to many eminent solicitors and
conveyancers, and there was very little doubt that the
knowledge and information he bad by this circumstance
been enabled to obtain were the means that placed him in •
position to commit those frauds which had been carried out
with • great deal of skill and ingenuity. After the pi I.
weer left the employment to which lie had referred, he took
an office in the City, where he ostensibly carried on the
business of an accountant ; but be believed there was no
doubt that the real object tae prisoner bad in view was to
carry out these frauds cod to enable him to do so with
greater facility. The property that bad been made the sub-
ject of the forgeries to which the prisoner had pleaded
guilty belonged to the late Admiral Sir John West, and was
entailed to his son, Lieutenant-Colonel West, who was the
prosecutor on the present occasion, and in point of
fact neither of these gentlemen bad the power of granting
leases. The prisoner, however, by a series of ingenious
proceedings, and by employing different solicitors, forging
receipts for ground route, and effecting pretended policies
of insurance, had succeeded in making charges upon the
property to the extent of a great many thousand pounds,
and at the time he was taken into custody the draft of
another forged instrument was found in his possession, by
which he would in the course of • few days more have been
enabled to obtain possession of • further sum of 6301., and
there was very little doubt that if he had not been detected
he would persevered in the system of fraud aud have ob-
tained • much larger amount of money. Lieutenant-
Colonel West had, under these circumstances, felt that not
only his duty to the public rendered it necessary that lie
should come forward as the prosecutor, but also to show
that the leans and pretended charges that had been made
upon the property by the prisoner were false and fraudu-
lent in every respect.
The Recorder inquired what amount of money the pri-
soner bad obtainedby means of the deeds that were the
subjects of the indictments to which he had pleaded guilty.
Mr. Lewis said lie was unable to give the exact SUM, but
be believed it to be between six and seven thousand pounds.
The prisoner interposed, and said that it was not so much.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner
bad pleaded guilty to no less than eight distinct charges of
forging deeds, and there could he no doubt that he had i
availed himself of the information and skill he had obtained
in the capacity he had formerly occupied to commit the
offence, which had been owned out with very. great
