CHELMSFORD AUTUMN MEETING.
wr,NAsuAr.

Although the weather to-day was more favourable to the
sport than that of Tuesday, the attendance was even more
limited, and the meeting cannot be considered as anything
else but a failure, and the clashing with Worcester was as
unfortunate circumstance, which, if possible, will he reme-
died in future. The sport was of an average character,
but speculation was of the tamest description. None or
the races merit any description here, the appended return
presenting all the features.

BETTING IN LONDON.-WIDNINDAY.

Notwithstanding the recent appearance of the accept-
ances for the Liverpool Autumn Cup, and a pretty nu-
merous assemblage at the clubs, there was comparatively
little doing on the race. Early in the morning The Peer
was backed at 10 to 1, but subsequently 11 to 1 was offered
by one speculator, who finally increased his offers to 15 tol.
Before the close of business, however, 12 to 1 was accepted
several times in well-informed quarters. Mandrake was the
rest beat supported, finding in the first instance friends at
100 to 7, and although a point more was subsequently
laid he had a healthy appearance. The same horse, com-
bined with Minster Bell and The Corporal, was supported
for seven fifties, seven ponies, and 600 to 100. The other
horses named in the quotations came in for only a trifling
amount of support, the tameness of the betting being
attested by the fact that at the close the offers were " 20
to 1 bar two." Quotations as undermentioned ;

ThE LATE FRACAS ON NEWMARKET HEATH.

The disgraceful proceedings on the part of cer-
tain jockeys at Newmarket, on the Cambridgeshire day,
are about to form the subject of • series of inquiries in the
police courts, and will doubles/ furnish considerable em-
ployment to the gentlemen of the long robe. The first of
these inquiries took place at the Newmarket Petty Session
on Tuesday, when Henry Parry and Thomas Cotton, two
well-known jockeys, were charged (before Mr. J. Dobede
and Major Fryer) with having assaulted Mr. James Leth-
bridge Templar, with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Numerous statements as to the circumstances of the affair
have been published, but the statement of Mr. Templar
himself, as deposed to before the magistrates on oath, was
to the following effect :—The complainant was formerly •
student at Cambridge rniversity, and now resides at Har-
row, and as he was visiting at the house of a friend, Mr.
Kenyon, in the neighbourhood of Newmarket, he and Mr.
Kenyon went on to the heath together on the CAM-
bridgmbire day to witness the racing. When one of the
races was being run, • servant of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales very indiscreetly rode across the course,
and two of the competing horses, named Water Core and
Faaby, coming in collision with the horse the servant was
riding, a general "spill" was the result. Mr. Templar
and his friend happened to be near the spot at which the
occident occurred, and, after making an ineffectual at-
tempt to secure Water Cure, who had broken away, and
was galloping along the course without • rider, he went to
the other horse, who was lying on the ground apparently
injured, and with • man sitting on his head to keep him
down. Mr. Templar understands something about horses,
and be suggested that it would be better for the animal
to he got up, and the loan having moved from his
head, he took hold of the bridle, and got
him up. After leading him • short distance along
the course • groom came up and claimed the horse as
belonging to his stable, and Mr. Templar at once gave him
up. The horse, however, staggered • good deal, and ap-
peared much injured, and Mr. Templar was accompanying
him along the course, walking within a yard of his hind
quarters, when Parry, who was on • hack, rode between
him and Esaby, the horse striking complainant's shoulder
and twisting him round. Parry, at the same time, used the
expression, "I suppose you are some veterinary."
He took no notice of this, but upon Parry repeating
the act he said "You needn't ride over a fellow." L'pon
Parry attempting to do so again Mr. Templar laid his hand
on the bridle of the horse to prevent his being ridden over,
when be immediately received • severe blow on the
head from Parry's whip. Almost at the same moment be
was struck in another direction—be believed by Cannon.
The defendants wore then joined by several other jockeys
and a mob of roughs, some mounted and some on foot,
and was knocked about on all parts of his head and body
with riding whips and bets. On attempting to make his
escape he was permed by the mob, who rode him down,
and actually rode over him, beating him severely while
upon the ground ; one of the horses also trod upon his
body. He was at length joined by his friend, Mr. Ben-
you, who was also assaulted, and both made off towards
the enclosure, when they were again pursued by the mob,
who raised the cry of " Welchers," and they had to run the
gauntlet through a shower of blows, ultimately succeeding
in gaining the enclosure, from which, however, .hey nar-
rowly escaped being turned out upon suspicion that
they really were welchers. Mr. Templar was then taken
in Sir Robert Pigot's carriage to the Rutland Arms Hotel,
where he was attended by Mr. Fsircloth, surgeon, who
found him suffering from numerous severe bruises and con-
tusions on his head and various parts of his body, and en
injury to the groin, which it is feared may produce hernia.
After the magistrates had heard the evidence of the
complainant, Mr. Bevan, Mr. Fsircloth, and a clerk in the
telegraph office, who spoke to the past taken by Cannon, •
consultation took place as to the proper course of proceed-
ing, the result of which was an agreement on both sides
that it would be better that the case should be sent to the
Cambridgeshire Quarter Sessions for trial, and the further
examination of witnesses (of whom there are a great
number) was adjourned until Monday, the 25th November,
in order to suit the convenience of all parties concerned.
Mr. Salmon, of Bury, is the attorney for the prosecution,
and the defence is entrusted to Mr. W. 0. Kitchener, of
Newmarket.

FAT IL GUY ACCIDENT.—NEWCARTLE-ON-TYNE,
WEDNEHDAT.—Considerable sensation has been amused in
this town this morning by the intellieenoe which has
reached here that Colonel Harrison. an officer in the In-
dian army, and brother to Mr. T. E Harrison, the civil
engineer. was accidentally shot yesterday, and that he had
died during the night. Colonel Harriann, Sir Bedworth
Williamson, and a party, had been shooting on Rimside
Moor, near Rothbury, yesterday, and, according to the
information that has arrived in this town, Lord
Raveemworth was showing Colonel Harrison • gun made
upon an approved principle, when it exploded. The charge
lodged in one of Colonel Harrison's legs, shattering it fear-
, fully. A gentleman who had been in Indian warfare hap-
pened to be one of the party. He took up the arteries,
and the wounded gentleman was carefully removed to the
rectory of Eglingham, about two miles off. The best
mrilical assistance was procured, but the unfortunate gen-
tleman sunk and died during the night. His wife and eon
were telegraphed for from London, and they are on their
journey to the north.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Briars Mr. Justice Bytes.)
E 1110131.112 CABE OF ATTIIIPTZD 1110EDIF.

Sarah Barbara, 27, a married woman. was charged with
feloniously casting and throwing Sarah Raeburn the
younger into a quantity of slacked lime, with intent to
murder her.

Mr. Straight prosecuted. The prisoner was not defended
by counsel.
This case was one of a very singular character. The
prisoner was walking along Newington-causeway about
half-past four o'clock in the afternoon with the child in
question, which was ten months old, and as she was pass-
ing a place where some building repairs were going on, and
where a quantity of slacked lime was lying on the
ground threw the child into the lime, and then
jumped upon it. The child was fortunately res-
cued without sustaining any injury, and on the
prisoner being asked how she came to commit
such an act, she said that trouble had driven
her to it. It appeared that the prisoner had
been married for eight years, and that she had three
children living, and it was stated that down to the period
of this occurrence she bad behaved very kindly to all her
children. In the course of the case the sister of the pri-
soner was examined, and she stated, in answer to a ques-
tion put by the learned judge, that the prisoner had been
confined for two years in Hanwell Asylum. The only
witness who was examined to prove the fact of the prisoner
having thrown the child into the lime stated in the course
of her evidence that at first she thought the prisoner had
slipped, and that the child fell into the lime accidentally.
The jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a
verdict of Not Gaily, and they stated, in answer to a
question from the learned judge, that they were of opinion
that the prisoner did not intend to murder her child, and
that the affair might have been an accident.
There was another indictment against the prisoner
which charged her with a common assault arising out of
the same facts, but it was not proceeded with.

~wotity of property belonging to Alexander Job n Stewart,
ber master.
_ _ _

Mr. Straight, who was instructed to prosecute, informed
the court that the prisoner bad for a lung time been carry-
ing on a systematic course of fraud. bbe had, by means of a
false character, at one time obtained • situation in the
establishment of Lady Combennere, and upon her being
discharged she attempted to obtain valuable property from
Messrs. Howell and Jaraes,and other West-end tradesmen,
by means of forged orders. In one instance she made use
of the name of Lady Combermere, and in another that of
Lord de Blaquiere, but fortunately inquiries were made
before the goods were supplied, and the privoner was
detected.

The Common Serjesnt sentenced the prisoner to five
years' penal servitude.
