eleventh hoar it was found that Buckfoot had incurred

timely enough for his owner, reached the precise value of
2001., and the additional NW was jest auflldest —according
to handicap calculations—to secure the defeat of the horse,
and otherwise he mild Poi have been beaten. Curiously
eracagh, the winaer's number on the card was 15, the second
14, and the third 10. When the 'Worts returned to weigh
in they were covered with mad, Illbberd, the rider of the
winner, being completely smothered. Ills face, at one
time, was not resogniaable, and be was so blinded that he

and the Marquis of Hastings' colours were as it
they had been carefully splashed over with • brush
or broom, after the fashion of those cockney paths-
men immortalised by John Leech who used thus
to simulate a rue with the hounds. The Highflyer's
dam colt is trained by King, at Alfreatoo, on the South
Downs, WIZ Lewes, and up to the present moment the
Sasser stables have furnished winners in the spring events,
viz., Accident, Keegan% Planet, and the " Cup" winner.
Immediately after the peat race the crowds began to dis-
perse, arid, miserably wet and weary, the majority of the
visitors got away by the first trains. The scene at the
station was extraordinary ; but. thanks to the business-
like tact and promptitude of Mr. Charism Mills, the inde-
fatigable station-master, the traffic was duly and comfort-
ably conducted.

been prominent in the breaks-sway, was ant off, but before

Macbeth, next to whom came the Grinder. Nearing the
Stand Liu gave way, and Macbeth west round the tarn
with • clear lead, followed by the Grinder, Helen third,
Lion fourth, Leprooltun and the Tartar lying next, a wide
interval separating these from Gratitude, Sounds', the High-
dyer's dam colt, and the Mceetiseime filly, who came as at
the head of the rock, in the middle of which were
La Toinques, and Aolcworth, Oldmiaster, apparently out-
paosd, being tailed off. As they proceeded along the rail-
way arches the Grinder challenged Macbeth, who gave
plug to the Heathery horse as they tumid toward/ the
Dee side of the course, Kr. Barber's wood string following

Stand the second time, when Lion was fourth, Macbeth
fifth, followed by Leprechaun, Ackworth, La Touoques, and
Buolifoot. After passing the workhouse turn Macbeth and
the Grinder disappeared from the front, and upon reaching
the half-mile post Lion dropped back, Helen having a alight
lead, the Higlaflyer's dam colt second, and Leprechaun
third, and La Touoques passing Lion at the half mile post
became fourth, Buckfoot fifth, From that poiot Helen and
Mr. Bennett's horse ran stride for stride, but at the distance
post Helen was beaten, and Backfoot (who had rapidly been
overhauling the leaders) took second place &length behind the

Hightlyer's dam colt, and es the latter seemed to " swell"

fifth, fifty yards off. Ackworth was sixth, La Toucquas,
Faroe, and Soumise being next. The last lot were the
Grinder, Gratitude, Victorious, Macbeth, Oldminster,
Change, and Ceres, the latter pair trotting in with the

WA= V. GRIZOLAND.-Tar LIKDB BLZIKING COMMIT.
This won an nation against the manager of the Leeds
Banking Company, to recover damages for negligence, in
advancing money upon bad and insufficient security, and
upon forged bills. The damages were laid at 500001. The
question now was, whether a rule should be made absolute,
to allow the defendant to plead a clause in the company's
deed of settlement which it was contended indemnified the
officers of the company from liability for any lam, unless
the same were caused by the wilful neglect or default of

such officers.
Mr. Berrilf, Q. 0., and Mr. Hannan sppeared to show
cause ; sad Mr. Lush, Q.C., to support the rule.
The court, after some discussion, made the role absolute ;
but added that the plaintiff might reply or demur to the
plea when pleaded.

The otrouseriancies of the one were wiraewhat eiagukir

been supplied with a cheque-book. which had an bees sr
tirely need when the hothead closed ha scoonnt, bat the
cheque-book remained about the house, and the primmer bar-
ing inns to it had opportunities of taking cheques from it.
It appeared that the primmer had taken oat three blank

them up for the three invent sums named I. she indict-
meet, signed to them the name of Mr. Ed ward Jacimon, bee

to mercy, in which the prosecutors joined.
Mr. Metcalfe intimated to the court that the prieooer bed
nee the mother of no lees than 22 children, and up to these

..eactioes bad born a most exempleryeherester.
Mr. Poland added that from inquiries it bad been snow-
tained that the prisoner and family were in peat dis-
tress and of lotion et the time, and that the vomiter had
committed the forgeries to raise the means of obtaining the
release of one of her sous, who wee eoaflued for debt in
Whitecroseatreet Prison.
The prisoner here bunt into tears, and was painfully
affected.
The Recorder remarked that there were circumstances
in the car whieb were wholly different from any that ever
had come before him, sad Midair thik coupled with the re-
commendation both of the jury end of the prosecutors, the
court would psis a much milder sentenes than was mug in
omen of forgery The Tbe sentence was that the prisoner be
kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for three
calcmdar months.
Catherine Gordon, a repulsive-looking woman, described
as being married, and 22 years of age. was indicted for un-
lawfully end melt lonely inflicting solual bodily harm on
Mary Anse Downey on the 18th April Wt.
The jury convicted the prisoner, and Springs% the
gaoler at the Guildhall Pommt,l paved that she
had already been convicted of violent moults, and at
the present moment was under reergnisanoo to keep the

pews.
The Reoorder mid there could be no doubt the prisoner
ins a wiry violent woman, and bed committed a most
'asap assault ; and the sentence was that she be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for the term of eight calendar

(Before Thomas Chambers, Fig., Q.C., Common Serjeant.)
Patrick Driscoll, 22, labourer, was indicted for • robbery
with Oakum on Thirca Flocham, and stealing from her a
purse enetaiging three shillings.
Mr. E. P. Wood prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended
the prisoner.
From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that
between one and two o'clock the prosecuirix, having been
for medicines to the Surrey Dispensary, in Swan-strestv
Southwark, had stopped at • stall, near St. George's
Church, to purchase an °rasp, when she was surrounded
by four young fellows, of whom the prisoner wee one.
The prisoner, covered by his companions, picked her rocket
of her puree and its contents, and she immediately seised
him by the collar, when be Minsk her a violent
blow in the face, which compelled her to re-
lax her bold, and he and his aegociates ran away.
The prisoner was pursued by a person earned Copland, who
had witnessed the tranenction, but effected his escape, and
was not taken into custody until the 21st ult. He was
DOW fully identified by the prosecutrix, as well as by the
witness Copland.
The defence set up was an alibi, to support which three
witnesses were celled to prove that the primer at the time
of the robbery was with them at Croydosi races, but on
orms-examisation by Mr. F.. P. Wood, they completely

broke down.
The jury without heeitation returned a verdict of Guilty,
and several previous conviction, for felony having lima
preyed against him
The Common 31111111111 i sentenced him to be kept in plaid
servitude for the term of ten years.
