SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

CESAItEWITCII.

Before entering into particulars of the running,
which time would nut permit us to forward from the course, '
we should supply an omission in the betting, by stating that
Mrs. Taft was backed rather freely in the town at 30 and I
33 to 1, and on the heath, but to a very limited extent, at .
23 and 30 to 1; her price (nominal) at starting being 23 to 1.
Geldlinder was priced at 10 to 1, but had no friends—much I
higher odds could have been got without difficulty. The
start took place at a quarter past three. Paquette rushing
off with the lead, followed by Herbert, Hothorpe, Gold-
finder, Antigone, Hippolytus, and several others, the
whole lot in fact lying in such clue order, that, until they
were on the flat, it was impossible to define their relative
positions. Paquette went on with the running until within
three or four hundred yards of the bushes, the lead then
being taken by Barcelona, close up with whom were Candle-
wick, Hippolytus, and Mrs. Taft. the latter being on the
whip-hand of her horses; the Italian, Antigone, Gold-
finder, Dulcet, and Darkie were also lying forward.
The race was reduced to four horses in going down the hill,
and in the bottom wu over, Mrs. Tat closing with Barce-
lona, quitting her in the cords, and winning in a canter by
a couple lengths. Candlewick was a bad third, Hippolytus
fourth, Dulcet fifth, and Darkie sixth. Time 4 min. 6 secs.
Very little was won on the race by Rogers's stable, and it
is even said that Mr. Bevil backed the winner for one
sovereign only, at 100 to 1, and actually lost 50/. by his
book. All the round betters arc good winners, Mr. Davis,
of course, taking the lion's share of the " plunder." The
balances, generally, are light, and the mottling will be
harmless.
Amongst other fashionable' there were on the heath—
The Duke of Rutland, Lords Lichfield, Glasgow, Enfield,
Strathmore, S. Osborne, C. Manners, G. Manners, Ribble*.

JUDGES'

-TUESDAY.

Boos. Ma. Banos Mauna.
Ties QtrZIN o. 136241ZAH.
This was an application to be admitted to bail on the part
of Mrs. Benham (wife of Mr. John Benham, of Winches-
ter), who stands charged with the manslaughter of Ann
Oran, late a nursery maid in her employ ; a case which
appears to have excited much sensation is the locality.
Mrs. Benham surrendered; and Mr. Bodkin appeared as
counsel on her behalf, offering as bail two highly respect-
able inhabitants of Winchester.
The learned Judge, after hearing the depositions taken
before the coroner, expressed his opinion to be that the
party ought to be immediately released from custody, and
that the ordinary bail to appear at the next assizes (Mr.
Benham in 801. and two sureties in 401. each) should be
accepted. This having been done, Mrs. Benham was dis-
charged.

Iv 88 AHLISS AND TUCKIR.

This was the certificate meeting in the ease of Henry
Mowbray and Elijah Tucker, printer., of Frith-street, Soho.
Their debts were 1,3251., with 4381. of liabilities ; the assets

in full to secured creditors. The profits during 16 months
had been 8171.; losses, 2161. ; trade expenses, 4591. ; drawn
out by Arlin, 3001. ; by Tucker, 2711.
Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupts' application.
Mr. Nicholson for the assignees, offered no opposition.
Mr. Lawrence stated that the bankrupts, before coming
to this court, had called together their creditors, and offered
to pay 20s. in the pound under a letter of license ; all the
creditors but one executed the deed, believing that the
bankrupts would be able to carry out the arrangement in
time. Owing to one creditor dissenting, they had come to
this court to avoid giving a preference.
His Honour granted a second clams certificate in each case.

HOLT V. FINTCX.—Tun ROYAL ITALtAN OPZILA.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a solicitor, re-
siding at Liverpool, against the defendant, music-seller and
dealer in opera tickets, in the Strand, to recover the sum of
18s. Od. under the following peculiar circumstances :
The plai;itiff stated, that on the 22nd of July last, he
applied- at Mr. Fentum's in the Strand for nine pit tickets
for the Royal Italian Open, Covent-garden. The admis-
sions were paid for, and plaintiff and his company took the
precaution to be at the theatre in pretty good time, with a
view to secure places for seeing the performance. Upon
their arriving the pit was quite full, so that it was difficult
to obtain even standing room. Plaintiff having paid for the
tickets with the understanding that he would have proper
accommodation, at once applied to the boa-keeper for a re-
turn of his money. The check-taker informed him that the
money would be returned had the tickets been purchased
there, and in fact, money was being returned to persons
who had so procured the adnianosa. Ile subsequently ap-
plied to Mr. Fentank, who tease& to return the money,
end said, the tickets haviag Isms mod it was now entirely a
matter betimes lir piaiatit and the authorities of the
Opera, who went band to fed tate& accommodation for
his The plaintiff maimed that the agreement was be•
two= him and the defendant, the latter being not an
agent to the conductors of the Opera, but merely a s
toe is their tickets, and under these circumstances teata.a
entitled to recover.
In answer to the learned judge plaintiff said that the
partite at the theatre gave him nine vouchers that there
was no room in the pit, but did not return the actual
tioketa.
The 10112SIMI Judge--I think parties who bay tickets in
this ws sos entitled to lee the performance In this case
