NOTES FROM ASCOT AND ANTICIPATIONS

OF lIAXPTON AND NEWTON.

- TO TSUI MITOI OF TEN wain.

Silt —The past week has been an eventful one
indeed, it is to be hoped that, while writing a rerun/
of the seas* of 1864, such another will not have to be
chronicled by the historians of the turf, for the collision so
much talked about since TUOIMIIIY last was the most dims-
trona in its effects that ever happened to a "race train."
It was, of course. an accident, on the principle that nobody
" meant to do it," but it is remarkable that a similar mis-
fortune, though happily not so serious, betel the voyagers
from Ascot on the Cup Day five years ago, when one train
ran into another at Virginia Water Station, the stopping
train on that own= having been delayed with no
more apparent neosenty then the one run into at
Egham. Paying considerable more than the regular
Ascot fare for their journey, racing folk expect
to travel, if not express, without stopping at any little
station on the line of route ; and as the driver of the second
engine gave fearful testimony that we had no business
where we were, it is the general impression there was whole-
sale ;blundering somewhere. But mere opinions go for
nothuifr, and although mine can hardly be given without
prejudice, beteg one of the unfortunates, my aching bones
give me the right at lent to complain ; sod I have Dot yet
been able to utility my mind how it was that we is the train
dashed into should receive the first intimation (some seconds
before we began to move out of the way) of another being
close upon us from some diminutive urchins perched on •
gate on the side of the line opposite to the station. The
oatastrophe for a time drove all idea of discussing Tuesday's
acing out of the heads of the most critical ; but a more ex-
citing first day was never experienced—splendid
weather, the presence of royalty, and • card
filled to repletion, having had the effect of
attracting the million in such force as to put in the
shade the attendance of many previous Cap Days, the nine
races being, besides, " full of incident," The victory of
Young Rapid in the Gold Vase was the most startling one,
and it may always remain • wonder how he accomplished it,
for allowing that Bac'hns and Birchbroom were
incapable ,it diving the two miles, sat that little
Stag had pumped himself out before Carroll got him in hand.
he can claim the merit of having fairly debated Faineant,
Caller On, Oldminsser, and Wingrave in • style that would
have brought him to the front reek of St, Leger favorites
had he been engaged therein, although he would have re-
tired again on Thursday after Scottish Chief gave him 7lb
aced a stone heating. This was just what might have been
expected when Young Rapids doings prior to the
Gold Vase arerriglaoced at, and it only renders
kbone brilliant ormance the more inexplicable. There
was some real • St. Leger form" displayed by Ely in the
Prince of Wales's Stakes, for he wore everything down when
giving lumps of weight away to several besides Knight of
nowdon, who may only have ran kindly at Epsom for the
aeon, arid must be left out of the question altogether, or
we shall have to believe Ely ought to have woo the Derby,
especially when looking at Blair Athol's defeat for the
Grand Prise ; but be had such • terrible passage from Lon-
don to Paris, the journey having occupied three days and
two nights, and had such scant opportunities for • gallop
before the race when orriviog at his destination, that his
defeat may well be excused. This will not do, however,
with regard to Fille de l'Air (who was only a badthird, and
by an accident lost that position, whereupon large nuns
were, it is said, landed by • select few), for after travelling
from Paris to Ascot with great rapidity, having only reached
her destination on Tuesday evening, an ran second to Ely
for the Princs of Wales's Stakes when carrying
a 91b penalty—a more sodden alteration of form
than that which excited so much suspicion at Epsom, where
she won the Oaks after letting the public so dreadfully " in "
over the Two Tbotmand. She ia not in the St. Leger—aud
fortunately, as it will be quite enough to watch the parties
who are sure to "work" one of the two promineot favourites
already established for it, and the public would certainly
have been "done" somehow bad she been • competitor.
It would have been • pinwale to find Hippolyta, the win-
ner of _the Ascot Stakes, in the St. Leger, for it is doubtful
whether there is • better filly in training, and she would
have put some life in the race, which now appears to rest
almost entirely between Blair Athol, General Peel, Scottish
Chief, Ely, and the Whitehall stable, unless Lord Glasgow
can. produce a 'entice to General PeeL The two-year-old
rung on Tuesday said as much cocooning the next Derby
as that with the threes did for the St. Leger ; and if King
Charming woo the maiden race by a neck only he must not
be despised, for he ran under great difficulties all the way,
and would have won by lengths bad the course been as long
es that Liddiogton won over. The latter did not give ge.
naral satisfaction when he galloped borne only a neck be-
fore Wild Boy, but he won as he liked, nevertheless, and in
my opinion he is folly deserving of the reputation he went to
Ascot with, a rather short neck being his solitary failing.
A oolt so likely to train on, with legs to undergo any
amount of work, is seldom seen in the front at all at this
time of the year, and if he but stripe on next year's Derby
is as good trim as Scottish Chief did on the 25th ultimo, it
will be a treat to get odds about him. Hie stable com-
panion, Zambesi, is another of the right sort, sod •

anticipated, had it all his own way. lie I. not in the
Derby, and even if he were, it would not be policy to back
him in the face of Mr. Merry's pair, Liddington and
limbed. The Raney team is even rented to contain
several other eying two-rear olds, the Derby let consisting
of Ludicrous, Dilly Daily, of colt by Wild Dayrel out of
litany, • colt by Gidston out of Vest, and the pair above
mentioned. This is a formidable array, and if I did not see
• Derby winner at Amon onTuesday last, I saw the colour
that most at lent represent a great favouriterfor next year's
Blue Riband.

Hampton will be well patronised by the million onWednes-
day and Thursday next, and there is every promise of good
sport on the first day, when we have the two chief events.
The Claremont Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, bas the most numerous

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Jums 1L
Situp in B0.000.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
and Justices Blackburn and Shea)
DICKSON V. PENBITION AND akortrin.

This was a question arising out of the late action of Dick-
son r. Lord Cembermere, General Peel, aad,Loid Wilton.
la Easter term Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., obtained a nile calling
upon Mew& Pemberton and Co., Colooel Dickson's late
solicitors to show cause why the master should not be at
liberty to review his taxation of costal; why the judg-
meat sad an order upon which it was founded should not
to set aside, together with all subsequeut proceedings, and
why they should not pay the costa of this application.
There were two other actions, one against Lord Com-
born:ere, General Peel, and the Earl of Wilton, and a
second against the Earl of Wilton only, which was not
then tried. The action in the first case commenced in
' February. 1862, and it was tried last year in this court
before the Lord Chief Justice, and occupied several days, and
resulted in a verdict for the defeodants. Colonel Dick-
eon's statement was that he bad paid 5001. to his attorneys
for disbursements in the actions, and pending the trial.
They applied to him for 3001. more, expressly to meet the
fete of counsel, especially " refreshers " stating that coun-
sel would require them to be paid daily, and that they
would amount to over 60/. a-day and that they could not
afford to expeod so much mosey out of their own pockets in
• case which they ocendered eo extremely doubtful. He
paid them 3001. more, making in all 80t.1. At the coeclu-
sum of the trial the solicitors sent in their signed bill of
costa, amounting to 1,8151., including the sum of 833/.
charged as disbursements in the action tried, and especially
including counsel's fees and refreshers, which had not then
been actually paid. Col. Dickson, not being ware of it,
did not attend the taxation, on which the master allowed
1,7781., including the sum of 3851. charged for refreshers to
counsel. On this a judge's order was obtained in the usual
mime, for a judgment to that amount, at the end of
August, and as appointment wee made with him by one of
the attorneys clerks, and upon his going to attend it he
was arrested when he got just outside his door for the
amount. He remained in custody till September, when he
was discharged by the Bankruptcy Court, and in that
court he discovered for the first time, in November last,
that the refreshers had not been paid. He then applied
to the Incorporated Law Society, and then to this court.
It was urged that an imposition bad been practised on the
master, by inducing him to suppose that the fees had been
paid, whereas they had not been.
Mr. Lush, Q. C., shores cause spinet the rule ; Mr. M.
Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and another learned
gentleman, supported it.
Mr. Lush said that Manus. Pemberton from the first
never wished to be concerned for Colonel Dickson, and that
they frequently urged him to employ some one else, but
they consented to act for him on the promise that they
should be furnished with mosey for expenses out of pocket
Whatever money they had received from Colonel Dickson
had never covered the disbursements out of pocket, and
counsel's fees and refreshers were disbursements, whether
they were paid or not at the time. If not paid at the time
they were honourable debts for which Messrs. Pemberton
were liable, and must pay. Colonel Dickson. had notice of
the taxation, but he did not attend, and no representation
was made to the master that they had been raid, and it
was perfectly indifferent to Colonel Dickson when they I
I were paid. Messrs. Pemberton being the pennies who were
honourably bound to do so. In fact Colonel Dickson was
the last man who ought to complain, and if the bill was
spin taxed it must be with the same result, as the
money had been actually paid. Colonel Dickson had
threatened to become bankrupt, though he said be had not
done so. but admitted he had expressed an intention of
doing so if be could not pay the costa, and therefore
Messrs. Pemberton took him to execution. There was no
' statement made by Colonel Dickson that be ever bad or
would have the means of paying the amount. Messrs.
Pemberton were honourably bitted to pay the refreshen
as much as if they were legally responsible.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said it could not be made • debt
for the taxation of wets until it had been turned from an
honourable to a legal debt.
Mr. Lush said Colonel Dickson knew the refreshers had
not been paid before Christmas, and yet he allowed Hilary '
term topless over without making any complaint. Colonel
Dickson offered security for the costa, but when the deeds
came to be examined it appeared that Mrs. Dickson had not
the power of appointment, and the security was worth
nothing. Continual pressure was put upon Colonel Dick-
son by Messrs. Pemberton for money, and it wasonly by
the threat of abandonment and withdrawal of the record
that they were able to get the 8001. from him. From first
to lest Messrs. Pemberton had no faith in the action, and
advised Colonel Dickson b withdraw, but he refused, and
the coosequence was that Messrs. Pemberton bad not got al
farthing for their time and labour. The compromise of the
action could have been effected at one time, but Colonel
Dickson would not accede to it, notwithstanding his solicitor
pointed out to him the probability of his being involved in
casts to a very large amount. When the trial came on,
though one learned counsel returned his brief and 1141. fees,
costa had been incurred to the extent of 695/. Colonel
Dickson faithfully promised Meson. Pemberton that they I
should have the). costa out of pocket immediately after
the trial was over, bat finding he did not intend to keep
hbiromin the bill of costa was made out, and after the
expiration of • month they ordered their clerk to tax the
Messrs. Pemberton in no way interfered with the taxing
of the costs, and Mr. Pemberton stated in his affidavit that
it did not seem to him that it was neoessary, as between
party. and party that the refreshen should be paid before
taxation was completed.
The Lord Chief Justice—Do you mean to contend that the
muter allows fees that are not paid
Master Brewer said he should not have allowed the fees
if he had not been satisfied they were paid.
Master Norton said the invariable rule was to see if
counsel had signed the brief, and where they had not to
was that the fees were paid before completing the taxation.
Mr. Lush said he must admit it was incorrect, but be
thought there was • difference between party and party
taxation and that of between party and client. Mr. Pem-
berton, in his affidavit, further said that he believed
his clerk was a party to an imposition on the master—that
no affidavits were then made or required, nor the signatures
asked for to the refreshers.

The Lord Chief Justice asked, as Colonel Dickson's
liability had been got rid of by the bankruptcy, what
advantage it would be to send the bill back for re•taxation
Mr. Chambers said the rule asked to have all the premed-
My upon it set aside.
The Lord Chief Justice—How would that better Colonel
Dickson's position
Mr. Chambers said he was sot seekirg so put Colossi
Dickies in a better position with his creditors.
The Lord Chief Justice said Mr. Pemberton was entitled
to deliver a fresh bill of ooste, and the fees having been paid,
the master would allow them.

Mr. Chambers said that might be so, but Colonel Dickson
complained that be had been arrested for 3801. men than
wee doe by misrepresentation, implied or direct.
The Lord Chief Justice said the court could not give
Colonel Dickson redress by setting these proceedings aside.
If he merely wanted the opinion of the court that the
course pursued bad been wrong they would express that
opinion in the stroogest terms, but they should bare consi-
derable hesitation in punishing Mr. Pemberton, seeing that
begeru not a party to the taxation.
Mr. Chambers said Mr. Pemberton 's affidavit contained a
passage which was a reflection on the profession, viz., that
the learned counsel engaged for Colonel Dickson bad taken
nee day's refreshers, sod were content to take their chance
for the other days. That had been most distinctly denied
by the learned corniest
The Lord Chief Justice wished still to know what benefit
it would be to Colonel Dickson to have the proceedings set
acids

Mr. Lush paid the result of their doing no would be an
action for false imprisonment against Mr. Pemberton.
The Lord Chief Justice—But vs might stop that by our
order.

Lush then read farther portions of Mr. Pemberton's
affidavits, and also the affidavit of the clerk, who had to be
engaged specially to attend this cane, to show that
although the refreshers were not actually paid at the time
of taxation, Mr. Pemberton wu responsible for them, and
had paid them. Mr. Pemberton had not got one farthing
for his time, and he had great came of complaint against
Colonel Dickson,i for his ingratitude to getting rid of Mr.
Pemberton's claim, by going through the Bankruptcy Court.
The Incorporated Law Society had investigated the matter,
end bad come to the conclusion that no case had been
madeont against Mr. Pemberton which justified their inter-
foresee in the matter. The effect of sending them back to
the Master would be of no benefit to Colonel Dickson's cre-
ditors, for his **cured and unsecured debts amounted to
6,339 f., and hie saute to 1331. 13. Colonel Dickson did not
attend the taxation, sod filing his house was to let Mr.
Pemberton considered Colonel Dickson was about to carry
oat his threat to leave the wintry or go through the wart,
sod he had him arrested. The only irregularity wee that
Mr. Pemberton had not actually paid the refreshers at the
time stated.

Mr. M. Chambers said Mr. Pemberton knew at the outset
that the money for his owns must some from Mrs. Dickson.
He bad supplied him with mosey for counsel's fees, which
had been misapplied, and if be had not been arrested he
could have got the money within two yeare from hi friends,
and be need not to have gone into the Bankruptcy Court.
He asked the court to my ite process had been misused.
Colonel Dickson admitted that coined advised that the
action would not be successful, but es his boson: was ie.
volved it was necessary that the awe should go on. Every-
thing showed that Mr. Pemberton intended to abide the
event of the trial for payment, except for &abasements
and monies fees. The action was brought in February,
1862, and ie June, 1862, there was an application for 5001.,
which was paid the wee month. In April, 1863, there wai

I an application for 2100 L mote for disbonerneete snd oatmeal's
fees, which was 'paid, and there was another demand
for 900/., -whbah was, Dot paid, but the letters apply-
ing for the money dearly implied that the counsel's fees
were being paid from day to day. The Master bed granted
his ancestor under the iropresoimi that counsersMees had
been paid, and Caking Dickson wee arrested for 978 L 10s.
2d., instead of for 6001. He was thereby put to the expense
of a sponging-house, and afterwards he had to apply to
the Bankruptcy Court. ' After the bankruptcy Mr. Pem-
berton applied to the limited counsel to take one refresher
and a dividend on the reminder coder the bankruptcy, but
they very properly refused it. Colonel Dickson was not
examined by the Incorporated Law Society. They went to
Mr. Pemberton's office and examined him, and the council
was of opinion no case had been made out against him.
Mr. Hawkins followed on the same side.
_ _

The Lord Chief Justice said the role must be made abso-
lute, with coda, but upon the condition that Mr. Pember-
toa should not be liable for an action for false imprisonment.
Mr. Pemberton bad acted with gross impropriety in taking
the Master's allocatur for disbursements which had not at
the time been paid. They thought, Mr. Pem-
berton had been severely punished, because however,b taking the
allocatur for the larger sum instead of the smaller one, he
bad lost what was due to him for his work and labour in so
difficult and important a case. If he had felt disposed be
might have insisted on being supplied with the necessary
funds from day today. -
The other learned judges concurred.
Rule absolute accordingly.

the petitioner in 1849, and he cohabited with bee at Glou-
cester, Liverpool, Chalford, and South Bruit, in Devonshire.
In the year 1861 be was concerned in getting up • concentric a
charitable purpose ; and a sioger named Miss Moreland was en-
gaged on that occasion. She was afterwards invited to spend
a few days at the petitioner's house, and on the 15th
of August the respondent suddenly disappeared with her.
Shortly afterwards he wrote to his partner releasing him
from his partnership, and declaring that he should never re-
turn to England again. He was traced with Miss Moreland
to Port Natal, where they engaged in the musical profession
as Mr. and Mrs. Paul Reece, till the service of the citation.
This ceased their true character to be noised abroad, and
they left the colony. Au advertisement had lately appeared
in the Orchestra announcing that Mr. and Mrs. Paul Reece
were anxious for an engagement at a Leaden theatre, and
this led to their identification. Mrs. Grist now sought a
dissolution of her marriage on the ground of adultery and
desertion.

THE POLICE COURTS

Two foreigners, who gave their names ea Charles Coymeine
and De Vanden Driessie, were brought before Mr. Alder-
man Finals, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with ob.
dining by false proton= a quantity of flax, value 2001.,
with intent to defraud Mews. Debergh and Co., of 32, lime
at. Charles, Dunkerque, France.
Mr. Lewis prosecuted, and it appeared from his
statement and the evidence which was adduced,
that the promenators carry on basing.. u flan mer-
chant, at the above address. About three months
back, Mr. Deborah saw the prisoner I)im Vanden
Driesehe, who then wanted to be supplied with some flax,
at Dunkerque. He, however, declined to let him have any
et that time. On the 20th of May, 1864, a letter was re-
ceived by Mears. Debergh, at Dunkerque, which was
headed, Scholaroans and Co., manufactory, Blackwell, sod
offices, 8, Lawrence-street, Bloomsbury, The letter was
signed Scholsmans sad Co., and requested Messrs. Debergh
to send them samples of flax with the lowest Trio's, and
the quantities they had in stock, and at the .me time
asked them if they could dispose, to any advantage, of •
cargo of jute. In coosequeoce of that letter
Mews. Debergh sent samples of than to Messrs.
Bc.holamans and Co., at 8, Lawrence-street, and on the 26th
of May they received another letter, also signed Scholammus
sod Co., requesting them to send flax amounting to 2601.,
which would be either paid for on delivery, or by a bill at
eight days' date. Aooording to that order Mamma Debsrgh
sent about 2001. worth of flax, and eoclosed the invoice in •
letter to 8, Lowrerioeatreet, and drew a bill at eight days,
which they sent to Messrs. Scholarnans, and which it
appeared had never been accepted. On the tad of June
Messrs. Debergh received another letter from &holmium,
acknowledging the receipt of the bill of lading for the
parcel of flax, and containing an order for • further
supply. About 4001. worth was sent; but on
weariest of some suspicion that was entertained, Mr.
Debergh came to Loedoci with the flax, to see what
kind of persons had got pomaession of his goods. He than dis.
covered that the whole transaction had been • fraud. The
prisoner. De Vanden Drieuhe, whom the prosecutor identi-
fied as the man whom he refused to supply with goods
at Dunkerque, and Commie had a few weeks back

first-named prisoner gave - the name of Scholanians,
sod lettere were reserved there directed to &hole-
mans and Co., which the landlady always handed to the
prisoner. Both the prisoners, it appeared, were continually
together, and one of the letters which were mot to Messrs.
Debergh was signed "For Scholamans and Co., W. Allairy."
which was said to be in priaoner's handwriting. Mr. De.
bergh, upon seeing that Sebolsroans and Co. had no offices
at 8, Lawrence-inmost, immediately stopped the second
parcel of goods which be brought with him. The other
parcel, however, appear. to have been climposed of, and no
trace had as yet been found. When taken into costly De

knew such a men, having met him in the Haymarket, and
