.NEWSLIRKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.
The sport on Newmarket Heath to-day was characterised
by every feature of an "off " occasion, the fields through-
out the afternoon being generally of a moderate descrip-
tion, and the running of very little interest. During
Tleseday night the weather underwent another great
=and rain fell early this morning, but although the
had a threatening appearance, the rain kept off. In
pant of attendance also there was a slight diminution.
'Me demonstration which took place on Tuesday night in
favour of Chepstow was renewed this morning as soon as
there was a meeting at the rooms, and as little as 7 to
1 was accepted about him. This had the effect of
slightly depressing the next favourites, Mathilde and
Randamente. The latest quotation, however, on the im-
portant handicap" will be found below. The only incident
of the day eallhng for any remark was the sweets of
lintiernake over Leybourne and Stratheonan in the
Vjghteenth Triennial, and his subsequent defeat
by Knight of the Crescent, who took • seven
maiden allowance. This advantage enabled the
biter to to win very easily by three-quarters of a
length. Savernake not only suffered defeat from " The
Knight," but was beaten for second place by Lothario, and
consequent upon this performance the baron's horse came
into immediate demand for the Cesarewitch, for
which event, if this running be porrect, he must have
an immense chance, but Baveruake is probably " settled "
teethe season, and his form cannot be tended upon. A
full return of the day's racing is append

COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RLILWAY.-011
Tuesday night a collision occurred on the Caledonian
Railway between the stations of Abington and Laming-
ton, fortunately unattended with loss of life, although
several persons were injured, and a considerable amount
of damage was done to the rolling stock of the company.
So far as we can learn, the circumstances of the accident
were as follows. A pilot engine, which bad been on the
main line at Abington, was taken into a siding to clear the
rails for the limited mail, which leaves Carlisle for Edin-
burgh at 5.30 p.m. The mail was a short time late when it
passed Abington, and the pilot engine was driven out of
the siding at Abington on to the main line immediately
after the limited mail had Feuded ; but while this operation
was proceeding, the ordinary train from Elvanfoot to Car-
stairs, due at Abington at 7.10, came up, and ran with
some force into the pilot engine. The stoker of the passenger
train was much cut about the face, and several of the
passengers were slightly cut and bruised. The pilot-
engine and tender were thrown off the line, and were
much smashed—the line being in consequence blocked
up. Workmen were immediately procured, and the re-
moval of the obstructions to the traffic was at
once proceeded with. The first train from the
south, due at Captain at 8.25' and at Edinburgh at 9.10,
was delayed for nearly twohours, and even then the train
had to be run from Abington to Lamington on the up line.
It had not yet been ascertained through whose fault the
accident occurred. It was fortunate that the collision hap-
pened at a time when the passenger train was about to
stop, for had the train been going at full speed past
Abington the eonsequencee would have been fearful.—

Mary Mapleson.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
The prosecntrix, a widow, living at 7, Robereadmildings,
Pimlico, said the articles the prison .m was charged with
stealing were lying on the drawers in her room. The pri-
soner came to her and offered some books for sale, and in
doing so he pressed his arm over the bundle of clothes.
He told a plausible tale about his having been in the
Indies, and written his whole life, which tempted the pro-
secutnx to look at a book he offered to her. She would
not purchase it, and he backed out of the room. Another
lady who was sitting in the room noticed the prisoner
shafts/A the linen from the drawers, and take it away with
the books. A constable was communicated with, and the
prisoner was given into custody.
The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to
nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.

ing Mary Ann King, and occasioning her actual bodily
harm.

The prosecutrix had been cohabiting with the prisoner,
and on the 13th of August they quarrelletL The prisoner
struck her several times with his fists about the face, and
made it quite black and blue. He knocked her down and
kicked her in the ribs and on her face. She went to see
him in the House of Detention, and he then promiaed not
to do it again.
Elizabeth Browning was with the prosecutrix when the
prisoner ill-treated her. Sbe corroborated the prosecu-
trix's testimony. He knocked her down, and said he would
do for her.
Dr. Bees Llewellyn, a house surgeon of the London
Hospital, proved the injuries the prosecutrix had received
were of a serious nature. The wounds would not have been
dangerous if erysipelas had not set in. She had been in
great danger.
The prisoner in his defence said he was aggravated by
the prosecutrix, and did never use a knife. The point of
the knife was broken off four or five weeks previous to this
1 occurrence. _ _ _ _

The jury found the prisoner duitty.
The court thought the justice of the case would be met
by ordering the prisoner to enter into his own recognisance,
in the sum of 251. to be of good behaviour to all her Ma-
jesty's subjects for six months, and to be imprisoned for
three onlontlar months.

MARYLEBONK
On Tuesday Mr. Tubbs made a statement to Mr. Mans-
field with respect to the shocking condition in which he
found a lunatic at No. 12, Dorchester-street, Blandford.
square. His worship, upon Mr. Tubbs'a statement
directed Mr. George Benson Baker, the district •
officer of Christchurch, Marylebone, to go to the place and
examine into the poor creature's state of mind and report to
him. Mr. Tubbs, accompanied by Mr. Baker, now
attended before Mr. Knox, who was sitting for Mr. Mans-
field, and presented Mr. Baker's report as follows :
" According to an order made by your worship to
visit and report the condition of Sarah Lee, at present
confined in a totearoem at 12, Dorchester-place, Bland-
ford-square, I to state that I have twice
visited the case an ascertained the foliowing fade
Sarah Lee, the alleged lunatic is an orphan. Her
parents have been dead 25 years. She is supposed to be
52 years of age, and has been under the custody of an
uncle for 13 years. For the last 12 years she has been in
the sole custody of her °eosin. No one else has visited her,
and she has had no medical advice for 20 years. During
the last four or five years she boabecome totally blind.
On entering the top back room where she is kept I was
greeted by a yell and most abusive language. She seized
hold of anything that came to hand and hurled it at me.
I made a careful examination of her. She is suffering
from curvature of the spine, deformed chest, extreme
emaciation, and blindness. She crouches in the bed,
pulls the towel round her, and howls. She has no
night-dross, and is almost in a state of nudity. There
are deep stains of blood about her. Her elbows are
much scarred. The nail' of her fingers and toes have
grown like claws. She refused to give any account of her-
self. The only intelligible words she uttered were tearful
denunciations against her cousin. At last I told her that
I had an order from the magistrate to report her case to
him. She became calmer, and said, 'Then at last, after
twelve years, lam of importance.' She at times refuses
food, and at others eats most ravenously. She has been
confined to her present room for twelve years, and has not
once been dressed for that length of time. She has not
had her lied made for two months, nor a change of linen for
a longer period. There are no blankets, simply a coverlet.
Near the bed, such as it is, is • table with a little drawer
in it. On opening the drawer I found a few fish
bones and two or three pieces of mouldy bread. The other
food was neither suitable in quality nor quantity.
There was half a bottle of currant wine in the room. No
description can give an adequate conception of the condi-
tion of this woman. With respect to sanity, I have no
hesitation in declaring her to be of unsound mind, and
that she is not properly cared for.—G. Bffiieoy Bursa,
DI. R. C. S."
Mr. Tubbs, later in the day, attended, and added that,
armed with his worship's order, he went with the medical
gentleman to the address. A cab was in attendance with
blankets to wrap the poor creature in. He had her at
once removed, and she was thoroughly cleansed and placed
in the females' infirmary, where at all events she would
remain for a time.
Mr. Knox said be was glad to boar such a satisfactory
termination to so sad a cue.
