SPORTING.
TATTEMALI:I4.
The settling on the Doncaster events took lathe yesterday
afternoon, and psa od off quietly; the large =coyote, however, to
which we alluded that week, remain unsettled, and as no communi-
cation has been received by the creditors, it is looked anon an • despe-
rate else. Another party toalso inquired after, anti with several
persons who wen, present, money seemed very scarce; so Hun en the
whole, we may repeat the remark made at Doncaster, that the settling
has been the reverse of satisfactory. In the course of the afternoon,
several animals were hacked for the thearesitch and Cambridgeshire,
and foe the former Wood Pigeon, Cawroush, and Pith*. were at one
time In great request ; their friends, however, bedlam, lukewarm to-
wards the close, and the final quotations showed a {marked decline on
the odds taken early in the day. Closing prices

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Commissioner Shepherd.
Ax EAST INDIA MERCHANT.—IN HE ATICINSON WILMN.
—nisi bankrupt was a partner in the house of Messrs.
Beattie, Macnaughten, and Co., the extensive East India
and Levant merchants, whose failure exceeded 400,0001 Ile
now applied to peas his last examination. The bankrupt
was not opposed by the creditor•' assignee or any of his
creditors, but Mr. Graham, the official assignee, objected to
the balance sheet in the form in which it was filed.—Mr.
Lawrence, for the bankrupt, contended that he was not
charged with receiving any mot.iee that he had not accounted
for, nor for having been guilty of any extravagance as a
merchant, but the apposition rested upon the want of
vouchers connected with old firms with whom Mr. Wilkie
had had dealings, and over which he had no control. Mr.
Lawrence complained that Mr. Graham had a strong bias
against the bankrupt, and he challenged him to impute any
improper motives to Mr. Wilkie, who at the time of the
failure had a balance due to him from his firm.—Mr. Gra-
ham made some observations which did not reach the
reporter's box, and an ad,ournment took place, the court
ordering Mr. Wilkin to have all his expenses paid out of the
estate.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.
Before D. C. Motion, Bog.
ASSAULT.—LORD BURT O. CLARKE.—This was ad appli-
cation for a new trial on the part of the defendant, who had
a verdict returned against hint on the 30th of August, with
201. damages, for assaulting his lordship. On the 12th of
July the noble plaintiff went into the defendant's shop in
Jermyn-street, to purchase a pencil case. On being shown
some that were not silver, he said he wanted a lean trumpery
article. Upon this the defendant said, with an oath, " I'll
tell you what, you're a trumpery fellow, and I desire you to
leave the shop." Lord Bury replied, that if defendant was
on that side of the counter, he would give him as good a
thrashing as he deserved. Upon Obi the defendant sent his
man for a policeman, to give plaintiff into custody. Lord
Bury waited some time, and on leaving the shop met a
policeman, and supposing he wu the constable who had been
sent for returned to the defendant's shop. The moment
he entered, the defendant ran from behind the counter and
putting his band against his shoulder and chest pushed him
with great violence into the street —The defence was that
Lord Bury had called Mr. Clarke a trumpery fellow, with
an oath, and threatened to give the defendant a knock on
the bead. The learned judge, considering the assault proved,
and that it was a most unjustifiable assault, gave a verdict
for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed (201.) This
sum Lord Bury said be should give to the court to relieve
distressed objects.—Mr. Keane now, on behalf of Mr. Clarke,
applied for a new trial on the ground of misdirection and ex-
cessive damages. contending that the defendant was justified
in turning the plaintiff out of his shop.—After a lengthened
argument, the learned judge said that his impression was
that nothing had been shown to make him alter his decision;
but he had no objection to allow the case to stand over for
Mr. Keane to produce cases proving that the damages he had
awarded were excessive.

Holliday'..office, but could not fin them ; and in consequence
of information nrceived they went to the office of Mr. Cusell,
whom they met, and told him that ho must not part with
the goody he had got from Gardner and Co. Clod] said he
did not know what was meant. The solicitor said he knew
very well—the tools that Gardner and Co. got for shipping.
Cusell said if they would ray him the money he had ad-
vanced upon them lie would return them. The solicitor
asked the amount, which Cusell said he could not tell. On
being pressed he said that he had advanced one part, and his
friend Loup another, but he did not say the amount. He
said that Gardner had applied to him to get the money, and
he wished he had nothing to do with it. They all three
went to Gardner and Co.'s office, and saw Holliday, who
professed at first not to understand what it all meant, and
said Clasen knew they had entrusted him with these goods
for shipment. easell said they were entrusted to him to do
the best he could with them. Witness's solicitor threatened
to come before the Lord Mayor if they did not give up the
Mad, and Cusell said he was willing to give up what claim
da upon them if he could get the concus:ence of Loup,
whom he went to flu& After a long absence they found
Loop, and Gesell, and Holliday together, and Loup
mid ho would give up the goods if his claim of
211., which be had advanced to Cusell, was paid.
Holliday wrote an order to Johnson and Day to give up the
goods. Witness got back his goods on paying 21. to the
packers but not until he had again threatened Holliday to
go to the Lord Mayor. The value of the goods was 1511.,
and witness would not have allowed them to have been sent
to the Custom-hones Quay unless they had been for ship-
ment to Sydnev.—Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) here read
the evidence given by Mr. Gray of the transaction about the
rope, between him and the firm of Gardner and Holliday,
Vlllletine!ifter the above-described attempt to defraud.—
" " •

Mr. Huddlestone said it would be seen from the st►tement
of Mr. Gray, that, although it was pretended in the more
recent cue by Holliday and Cusell that they knew nothing
of each other, they were pretty nearly associated in the
former attempt to defraud, which had, so luckily for Mr.
Bond, been defeated ; and the two affairs were conducted
upon exactly the same principle—Mr. Barber, woollrn
merchant, stud he bad seen Holliday and Cusell together,
and they denied positively any knowledge of each other.
After some further evidence confirmatory of that already
given, the case was adjourned till Saturday next ; and bad
was taken for Cunell and Loup in two sureties each of 1001.
each, and their own securities for 2001. each, to appear on
that day.—Gardner and Holliday, against whom, it was
stated, there were several other charges upon what is called
the shipping rig," were seat back to the Compter.
CLERK EN WELL —EMBEZZLEMENT.—T. E. Irelfreck,
a foreman in the employment of Messrs. Delarue, Fry, and
Ce., playing-card manufacturers of Buahill-raw, was charged
with embezzling various sumo of money, the property of his
employers,—Mr. Fry, one of the partners in the firm, said
they employed a large number of foremen, whose duty it
was to make up the accounts of the workmen iE the several
departments of the manufactory, and then receive the total
amount from the cashier for distribution. Circumstances
NOM which caused them to suspect the prisoner, and, upon
examining the books and making inquiries amongst the
workmen, they found that the prisoner had, in several in-
stances, entered and received from the cashier as much as
one-fourth more than he had paid to the men for
wages. So extensive had been the amount already disco-
vered, that if each of the foremen were to act in a similar
manner it would cause a lost to the firm of between 3.0001.
and 4,0001. He had been carrying on this mode of
plunder for a long time in the moat systematic manner, and
had gone so far as to enter the names of parties in the books
who had not worked for the firm fur the last four or five
months. He applied for a short remand, in order that they
might have an opportunity of establishing other charges of
embezzlement, which he had no doubt he should be able to
do to a large extent —Mr. Tyrwbitt remanded the prisoner
to Thursday next, and refused bail.
MARYLEBONE.—A JCVENILE FEMALE PICKPOCKET.
A decently-dossed child, named Jane Carpenter, not much
more than ten years of axe, was charged with having robbed
Mite Linton, a lady residing at 3, Bayham-terrace, Camden-
town.—Prosecutrix deposed that on Saturday evening she
went to the shop of Mr. Johnson, a grocer, in High-street,
as she was leaving the shop she was stopped fly a constable,
who asked her if she had lost anything, and she discovered
that her purse containing a half-crown, two shillings, and
some copper money, bad been stolen.—Hillsden, 42 S (the
constable alluded to), said that he saw the prisoner draw a
purse from the pocket of proaccutrix. Witnc•c laid hold of
per, and on her hearing the lady declare that she had been
robbed she (prisoner) dropped the purse on to the floor : she
cried, and begged to be forgiven. Witness said that he had
on the some evening, and at the same shop, seen the pri•
toner attempt to pick the pockets of other females while
waiting to be served.—The prisoner, in defence, said, that
she was very hungry, and that two or three other girls had
induced her to do what she did.-She was committed.

SOUTHWARK.—Aasenve —R. Haines, who has been
lie custody since the commencement of July. was finally ex-
' mined, charged with seriously injuring Jane Weasland, aged
16, by inflicting s kick. lathe early part ofJulv, the prisoner,
while leading an intoxicated woman along White-street, in
the Borough, was followed by • crowd of boys and girls.
The complainant, who was puling along at the time, stood
for a moment to look on, when the prisoner dropped his
drunken charge on the pavement, and running up to the
poor girl, gave her a severe kick, from the effects of which
she has been suffering ever since, and her life at one period
was considered to be in danger. She was now sufficiently
*convalescent to attend, and in the course of her exemination
she stated that on the day the assault was committed, she
stood merely a silent spectator of what was going forward,
when he ran towards her, and with a shoe on his foot (pro-
duce]) studded with nails, he inflicted the injury which had
ever since confined her to her bed, and from the effects of
which she was still suffering—The prisoner said that be re-
gretted what had occurred, but that be was intoxicated, or
he would not have acted in the manner described. The
prisoner was then committed for trial for the assault.
LAM BET H. —0 eNTLEMEN OF THE LAW.-31r. J. Smith,
who describes himself as a solicitor, of No. 4, Bury-street,
St. Mary-axe, but whose name does not appear in the "Law
List," and whose right to practise as an attorney has been
frequently questioned at this court, appeared to answer to
a summons charging him with assaulting Mr. 0. F. Carden,
a barrister, residing in Oate-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, by
spitting in his face. The defendant, who represented him-
self as the solicitor of Messrs. Dowd and Co., auctioneers,
agents, &c., of 12, Wormwood-street, City, and 4, Bury-
street, St. Mary-axe (the place where he, Smith, represented
his offices to bet, had been negotiating with the complainant
for delivering up to him some premises in Lambeth-walk
belonging to him, and come disagreement having arisen
between them, the defendant spat in the complainant's face.
—Mr.Elliott observed that the act of the defendant was oue
of a very filthy description, and convicted him in the highest
penalty of 51., or in default of payment, to one montleal
imprisonment. Not being prepared with the needful, the
defendant was locked up.
W EST MI NST ER. Ass!, eve Dennis Lalky was
charged with a violent assault on Richard Alexander, the
proprietor of the Coburg Arms, Coburg-row, Wermin-
eke— Complainant said thafon Saturday night, being in-
formed that defendant was making • disturbance in the tap-
room, he went in there and entreated him to be quiet and
leave the piece. Defendant, however, positively refused,
and taking off his coat declared that he would remain there
all night, and that nobody should remove him. Com-
plainant, after again endeavouring to persuade the man to
leave the house peaceably, laid hold of him gently by the
breast, observing, at the same time, "Come, my good mass,
you had better go," when defendant seized him by the arm,
and twisted it so violently that it became completely
disabled. Oa complainant's turning away from de-
fendant, the latter struck hint • blow with as
much violence on one side of the head, shat blood
gushed out of the opposite ear, as also from hie nos-
trils. Defendant then endeavoured to get away, and on
being followed by complainant's little girl, knocked her
about, kicked her, and tore her clothes. After some trouble
defendant, who was drank, was conveyed to the police sta-
tion.—Defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was so
drunk that be bed no remembrance of what had occurred ;
but he did not think be had treated complainant in the way
he bad described.—Mr. Broderip said that the case was of
by far too serious a nature for him to deal with summarily,
and ordered defendant to find bail to answer the charge at
the sessions.—Defendant was locked up.
THAMES.—AseaULTINO A RAILWAY OFFICER.—W.
Boreham was charged with violently assaulting Inspector
Richardson at the Stratford station, on the Eastern Counties
line. The inspector stated that the prisoner came up last
night from Yarmouth. It is the practice on the lino to col-
lect all tickets at Stratford, but the prisoner refused to give
up his. He at first said that he had not got one, then that
he had lost it, and at last that he had given it to another
ticket collector. This was found to be false, and witness
told hint he must pay the fare or leave the company's
carriage. He refused to do either, and when witness
laid hold of him to remove hint he struck him • vio-
lent blow in the face, knocked him on to the plat-
form, and then fell upon him and kicked him severely.
Two more officers came to his assistance, but the prisoner
wet so violent that it VMS with great difficulty he was se-
aued.—This evidence was corroborated by Thomas Crocket,
• ticket collector, who added that the prisoner kicked him
and tore his coat —ln his defence, the orisoner declared that
be had been mast grossly ill-treated. The inspector and the
other officers seized him, and banged his head and body
against the carriage in such a manner that all the passengers
cried out shame. He (prisoner) was one mass of bruises
The adore totally denied this statement —Mr. Yardley
geed him 205., or eight days' imprisonment.—The fine was
Pat,.
rOLTGAMY.—D. Sinclair, mate of the Maid of Auckland,
now Iyinif in the London Docks, was examined, charged
with having intermarried with Mrs. Jane Wells, his first
wife, Anne Warwick, being still living. The case appeared
in our paper of Thursday last. By the assumption of a
sanctimonious air the prisoner wound himself into the good
grates of the lady, who was moat respectably connected, and
she agreed ti marry him. Finding that he had been con-
victed of bigamy she taxed him with it, and be had the
address to persuade her that the conviction, according to
Justice Cresswell and a proctor whom he had also consulted,
annulled the first marriage, and she became his wife. Ey:-
