THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1867.

when Athena ran away from Grimaton for the Exeter
Stakes, it looked like John Lay nearly sweeping the board
at Newmarket as well as at home, and the '• mad" odds of
to I were laid on the daughter of Heroine for the Ches-
terfield, until her nervous conduct at the post opened the
eyes of the talent. It happened that the Duke of Hamil-
ton's beauty beat her again, though she was only able to
get second, the 71b advantage in the weights boasted by
Formosa (who had lost her maiden name at Stockbridge
when beating Contempt for the Nursery) bringing her
home a clever length in advance. This race rather added
to Lady Elizabeth's lustre than otherwise, for by Suffolk
being only a bad third, and Athena behind him, it was
shown Leonie must be in form, and for the crack to beat
her easily was quite enough to keep her in the stable, even
if everything else had to go at the late sale. The minor
events were participated in by many useful animals, and
in a paltry 50/. Plate, Seesaw lost the good name he had
previously woo, by running only third to Hippie (giving
301 b for the year) and Ninny. What the others not
waiting for nurseries did, had very little bearing on the
form of the cracks, and I need only record that Idalia,
False Alarm, Charnwood, a sister; to Lincoln Green, and
Ritualist, played pretty fair parts during the meeting,
the recent doings of the unnamed one being anything but
in keeping with her good second to Charnwood ill the
Ffield wherein Ritualist was a bad third.
rom the foregoing remarks it will be observed that
the best of the early celebrities got over a critical time
very creditably, Lady Elizabeth, Athena, Leonie, Suffolk,
rums, and Speculum having been quite as highly thought
of, as a body, at the close of the Newmarket July week,
as they were at the end of April. Still, they were most
unmistakably rivalled, the performances of Blue Gown,
Lictor, Formosa, Rosicrucian, Restitution, Innerdale,
Le Sarrazin, King Alfred, Anon, Eeelins, Torch, Con-
tempt, Charnwood, Seesaw, Vale Royal, Tregeagle,
Europa, The Parson, Chelsea, Rabican, Black Diamond,
Mameluke, Ironmaster. St. Ronan, Frolicson.e, Donald-
bain, La Mousse, and Idalia, proving alone what a grand
lot of two-year-oida the season was bringing forth.—
I am, &c., METEOR.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dec. 16.
SECOND COURT.

Sittings at Niai Prlus in London.—(Before Mr. Justice
Smith and a Common Jury.)
DEACON r. FESOUISSON.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries sus-
tained by being run over.
Mr. &damn Rallantine and Mr. Hance appeared for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Ocerend, Q.C., and Mr. (kWh& for the
defendant

The plaintiff was a young woman who managed the
house of her brother, • fruiterer in Park-street, Grosvenor-
square, and on the morning of the 20th March last she
was walking with her sister along Brook-street. They were
crossing the end of South Molton-street, and the plaintiff,
according to her case, was within one step across, when a dust
cart belonging to the defendant turned suddenly into South
Molton-street, knocked her down, and ran over her. Her
right thigh was broken and the other leg was severely
lacerated. She was in the hospital for 18 weeks and
obliged to be in the country afterwards for 13 weeks. The
right leg was permanently shortened, she still walked with
crutches, and would do so for three months longer. As to
negligence, the plaintiff's case was that the defendant's
driver was so far away from the horse as to have no control
over it, and that the horse turned suddenly upon the
plaintiff without warning. On the °ther hand it was said
that the horse was on its proper side and was walking at
the ordinary pace, that the driver was by its side,
and that the plaintiff could easily have got out of
its way, that she had in fact passed the horde when
the animal trod upon her dress which was trailing
upon the ground, and so pulled her down. It was further
stated for the defendant, but contradicted for the plaintiff,
that the plaintiff herself, and also her sister, immediately
after the accident, said that the driver was not in fault.
The jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 2501.
