1 WU taken that she wins it and the Emperor's Plate.
Enedarlus opened first favourite for the Ascot Stakes, but
suberqueetly gave precedence to Bt. Antonio, who was
backed freely at 3to 1; no others were in force. There was
nor much done on the Triennial Stakes, but the two leading
favourites were in steady Lav ur. Nunnykirk, who wu not
included in our list of arrivals, goes for this race and was
backed for it at G and Bto 1 to about 1001. Van Tromp at
one tints bad the call of Chanticleer for the Emperor's
Plata, but receded to 5 to 2, the 'trey obtaining the premier-
rhip ; 6 to 1 was tekcn that he wine it, and the Flying
Durchman the 8% Leger. Cossack was baked for a good
deal of money at 4 to 1, at which the taker wanted to go on.

and tried at the Old Bailey, but acquitted, for receiving two
notes of one thousand pounds each which were stolen at
Epsom. He also told witness that the magistratts refused
to take bail for him. Tin entry of the 15th of August,
1818, was made in plaintiff's presence and by his desire about
a month since. It was made in the einging-reom ; they were
alone, and it wee done by the direction of Simmons to sustain
the action.
Witness—My lord, am I obliged to answer any question
that may criminate myself ?
Mr. Justice Williams—Certainly not.
Mr. Serjeant Byles—Now, I ask you when you brought
that book to be tilled up, did n't Simmons, the plaintiff,
give you two pencils up stairs to make the entries, so that
they might not at all appear of the same date ?

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—YEsvmDAT,
BZPOII Ma. Onotortoxia LAW.
Ix u ALIXANDEI PALACI COMM.

The insolvent was opposed by his late landlord, a Mr.
Love, who complained that just before quarter-day be re-
moved his furniture to prevent a distress, and the insolvent
complained of the creditor that, instead of suing him in a
county court, he had brought his action in the Pekoe Court,
by which the law expenses were greatly increased. He had
provientely paid Mm three-quarters' rent.
The iseaboals attorney stated the terms he had offered to
Lig7=dispolot iggiketion, but Love's attorney declined
I.Bllalahe under the debt and costs down, and
bail aftlll64 that ha brought the action in the Palace Court
bongo Ise Weld " pounce" upon him at ono, whereas if he
bad Mei la a esunty court time would have been given.
Mr. ter Law cud he amid not give the full
ittigiseliga oldie set to a party who had removed his furni-
ture a day before the rent was due to prevent the landlord
from being paid. He nessed a day for the final order, and
the cies would than be mourned sine die.
Dr us WILLIAM HAMBIUDGI.
This ingdvent (supported by Mr. Stargeoe) also applied
Ito the evert for proteetion from the Palmas Court. He was
sued fora small debt, and be complained that he could not
pay the 1 expellees of that court. It, however, appeared
that he kid sold acme property, and paid his attorney in this
court.
Mr. Sturgeon remarked that it appeared to be an over-
sight in the legislature not abolishing the Palace Court. If
the insolvent had been sued in a County Court the creditor
would have been paid.
His Honour thought the insolvent should have paid some-
thing to his opposing creditor out of the rum he had realised
hogged of giving his money to au attorney to bring Lim
