ance, larger than on either of the preceding days. The
esti» interest of the racing centend in one race, which, it
will be men, came off in favour of Nunnykirk, but not in the
style la which his admirers hod anticipated ; this may be in-
ferred from the betting on the Derby, 9to 2 lining been

SHERIFFS' COURT—YESTERDAY.
Betty Mr. Marlashariff HurtleS.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
COOPER V. COLONEL MORE.

This was a writ of inquiry to users the amount of damages
in an action to recover compensation for an assault and false
imprisonment, the def.' dent heeleg enftered judgment by
default. Damages were laid at 2,0001.
Mr. Malay, in stating the olOntirs rue, odd that his
client wu a weak and infirm old man, in a hunib'e sphere of
lire: and the detendant, Colonel Home, had at one Va., been
commanding officer of the Buts Fusilier Guards. The cir-
unadances which gave rise to the cause of the present action
were shortly these, and they occurred so far back as the
month of March, 1845. At that time Camel Home had a
house in Park-road, Regent's•park, which he gave up or let
to the plaintiff, but he still coetioued to reside there in the
character of • lodger. Some ill-feeling arose be-
tween them, and eventually the colonel charged the
plaintiff with having stolen several articles. Tne plaintiff
wee examined on that charge at Queen-square police court,
and the nresid ng magistrate there sent him for trial at the
Middleux &salons; but upon the trial the charge broke
down from want of evidence, and the judge, Mr. Serjeant
Adams, directed an acquittal. The learned counsel said
that, in truth, there was no foundation whatever for this
harsh charge ; but Canted Home had got it up with the
view of Inducing the plaintiff to abandon certain proceedings
which he had taken, or was abut to bike, against him.
Evident* was given as to the imprisonment. The plaintiff
was in enstody six hours before committal ; and in Clerken•
well Prism he was detained flee days before trial.
The learned Under-Sheriff would recommend the jury not
to heed what the learned mun e. had stated abut the de•
temdeaGaviss maliciously set the criminal law in motion to
*Min some personal object, for it was not proved in the evd
donee, and it wri• a serious allegation to make against say
one. Itseemed strange th 4 the plaintiff should have allowed
(oar years to slimes without bringing the ease to tn.].
Mr. Mrlbtr said he nerd not mind disclosing the fact that
the plaintiff bad been in prison ever sines, and he wee at
that time, though in court, in the custody of an officer.
The Under-Sheriff said that did not alter it. However,
acting only on the evidence, the jury would cotsider what
amount of injury the p:aintiff had sustained, and give him
COMMOWIIIIII4II damages.
The jury band fee the plaintiff—damages 501.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT—YEBTIRDAY.
More Mr. Jambes unitarian.
JI7DOMENT ON J. CANIWAT.
Joseph Cashway, who was convicted on Wednesday of
shooting at a girl named Emma Tyler, was brought up far
judgment. His lordship observed that, after a careful con-
sideration of ell the facts of the case, with a view to see if
there wen any mitigating circumstances, he was =able to
dad any each in the prisoner's Savour. He had, without
any assignable motive or excuse, discharged a pistol, leaded
with gunpowder and a bullet, close to the face of the prose-
mark, a..d it ma by the moat merciful interposition of pro-
vidence that her life was not destroyed. Happily for the
prooecutrix and for him also, this dreadful result did not
take place, but his conducthad exhibited such a disregard of
human life and suffering as imperatively called upon the
court to pass such a Neatens, as would be a waraiag to
others in similar circumstances. The prisoner was then
ordered to be transported for f .urteen years.
