NEWYARKET FIRST SPRING UNITING.
TUB ONE THOUSAND DAY.
The memos of Achievement in the One Thonsaud has
throughout 'lt wired the race of the Interest that attaches to
any great contest when the chances of the competitors are
somewhat evenly balanced. As the spring Meeting approached
report. from the training stable were unanimous in pronouncing
the defeat of the Modem Crutifis Impossible, so well had she
wintered and SO +Wiped her preparation : it is therefor: not
astonishing that the One Thousand Mumma should have been
booked a foregooe ,ouelusiou, and all speculation comparatively
paralysed of the eighty animals originally entered but
eighteen were left on overnight, and a dozen of these only were
" coloured" on the card. Ravioli and Moleskin were the most
noteworthy of those struck out, but unfortunately Hippie, Viridis.
and °pop:max—sett to Achievement the best Mlles of their year
—were not included la the nomination. We may mention that
who Is considered worthy to be matched with Lord Lyon
for £5,000 at weight for age, is not Included in the nominations
of the Oaks or auy of the great Syr-old events, an unfortunate
circumstance fir her popular young owner, Mr. H. Coventry.
During the whole of H eduesday evening rain deco ended in one
minimums stream, the greets of Newmarket being literally
flooded, and this disagreeable .tats of things, donbticse, Interred
011110), front visiting the subscripUon-rooms. It was a long time
before au attempt was made to speculate, but otter. wore at
length made to accept 4 to 1 on Achievement for the One
Thousand, but this being tuatantly laid, bookmakers stood out
for a point more, and eventually five "fifties" and five
"hundreds," together with smaller sums, were laid on
the Modern Crucifix. Some! large sums were invested
on the mare at men money, after 400 to 400 had been accepted,
for the double event—One Thousand and Oaks—and at a late
hour Mr. suttou laid an even "monkey." That gentleman
also offered to take 12,000 to 1,000 she won One Thousand,
Oaks, and St. Leger. The trausactione on the Chester Cup
are worthy of notice; Archimedes was decidedly first favourtte,
but no Investments were made, as but 10 to 1 was offered
against Lord Stamford's gelding, a price not snmeient to
tempt either his noble owner or friends. Twenty ponies were
accepted about Rama, but the sensational movenieuts were in
reference to Tormentor. A nobleman accepted 20 to 1 to
1001, about last year's Oaks winner, but he had scarcely
booked the bet when 1,000 to 40 wee offered against her, this
being followed by 1.000 to 30, and eventually 50 to 1, the
latter price being taken, however, to 604 On the Derby
the betting was not very extended Ito 1 was offered on the
gekijout Vauban's principal pertisans were not present, go nothlog
was done. The Rake was very tine at 6 to 1, that price
more be
taken to than etoo, while Dragon at 7 to 1 was suppo
for a similar sum. There was some chafing respecting Hermit,
which resulted la 900 to 100, 1000 to 200, and 100 to 100 being
laid ; the only other animal mentioned was Marksman, 1000 to
40 being booked after in to I had been offered all over the room.
A match between Lord Lyon and Rama over the Beacon Course,
to be run on the Saturday in the Houghton week, produced
bet of e5OO between two Mtge bookmakers. £6O forfeit. Speak-
ing of matches, one was made on Wednesday between Knight of
the Garter and Viridis fur £lOOO, over the Rowley Mile, the mare
to meanie 411 s, to be run in one of the autumn meetings. There
was also an attempt made to speculate on the 4100 Plate, in which
Lord Lyon and Friponnier were entered, but nothing came of It.
Thursday morning was very dull, and by eight o'clock a mild
shower or two of rain commenced falling, but the muster out-
side the rooms was as large as ever, and the morning settling
was pursued with the usual activity, regardless of the disagree-
able effect, of the " Scotch mist." The sport was of a varied
and interesting character, and on the whole was well worth wit.
noising. The first event, alliaadkap Plate of 60 sovs., was won by
one of the gamest, although perhaps one of the laziest, horses in
training—Roquefort, to wit. Half a tulle from home the winner
was soundly whipped by Covey and, answering to these re-
=calls of the lash, with great pluck managed to get to the
when apparently beaten, and won by a head. The 100 soya
Plate followed, bringing out the two cracks. Lord Lyon and In-
lius, side by side. The linlahwas really good, and owing to the
miserable pace a I through, Mr. Sutton's magnificent horse
only won by a short head had there, however, been some-
thing to make a pace in the rat* it would net by any means have
been so close a thing. The only other contest worth conunent
Is the One Thousand, which proved every inch a "moral " for
the sister of Lord Lyon, who cantered in as she liked. The race
needs no further description, as this and all the others will be
found detailed below. It may, however, be mentioned that
a noble lord laid 700 to 400 on three for the last race, namely,
the blunt colt, Churchill, and tureen of the West, which of
course turned out unpleasant.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—AraiL 25.

Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and
Justices Blackburn and Lush.)
WILLIAMB r. THE GINZILAL °KMIEC/7 COMPANY.

Mr. C. Pollock, Q.C., said this was an action for
personal injuries, tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at
Guildhall, when the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, damages 7501. Subsequently an application was
made to his lordship, who stayed execution on 5001. being
paid into court. That had been done, and the learned
counsel now moved to set aside the verdict and for a new
trial, on the ground that the damages were excessive and
that the verdict was against evidence. The plaintiff was
a corn-meter of the City of London, in the receipt of about
2401. per annum. On the day in question the plaintiff,
who was returning home, hailed the defendants' omnibus
near Whitechapel church, and as he was getting into the
omnibus it suddenly started off anti the plaintiff fell and
broke his knee-cap.
The Lord Chief Justice said he was not dissatialled with
the amount of damages. The medical evidence showed
that the knee-cap had only united by ligament, and not
by bone, and that the plaintiff would never be able to fol.
low his business but with great danger, especially in
getting up and down the sides of ships. With regard to
the evidence, there was no doubt the evidence was very
conflicting, and it was therefore a matter especially for a
jury. He was not dissatisfied with the verdict.
Mr. C. Pollock reminded his lordship that the plaintiff
called a female aa witness who said she was the only per-
son in the omnibus, whereas the defendants called another
female who said she was also in the omnibus at the time.
(Laughter.)
The Lord Chief Justice said the young lady who was
called for the plaintiff appeared to have been mooning
about that morning, for it appeared she got into the
omnibus believing it was going in a different direction.
(Laughter.) The case was one peculiarly for a jury, rind,
considering the conflicting character of the evidence, he
should not have been dissatisfied with the verdict if it
bad been given for the defendants.
Rule refused.

The plaintiff was called and examined by Mr. Bailey,
and she deposed to the facts stated above. She also said
that the defendant frequently called and dined and supped
at her house. Her daughter went into the defendant's
service. In the autumn of 1865 she accused her daughter
of being in the family way, andahe did not deny the accusa-
tion, but refused to name the father of the child. In
September the defendant called, and witness told him that
she suspected him, but be denied that he was. Being very
strongly pressed, her daughter afterwards said that the
defendant was the father. In November be sent her
daughter home for a week's holiday, and whilst she was
away he got married. Previously he sent word that he
should no longer require her daughter's services. Shortly
afterwards the defendant called with his wife at her
house, hut witness saidnothing to himabout her daughter's
condition at that time. On Christmas-eve he again called,
and she then complained to him of the seduction, and he
said that he would rather the house should have fallen
than this should have happened. He suggested that her
daughter should be sent away. On Shrove Tuesday she
asked him what he intended to do for her daughter, and
he said he would come over and see witness. On the Bth
of March he called, and said that he supposed witness
wanted a little money, and gave her N., and asked her to
sign a paper which he could show to his wife, so that she
might think that the money was lent. Her daughter
signed the paper, which turned out to be an I 0 U. The
money wee for the e of the confinement.
At the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence, the court
adjourned for • few minutes, and during the interval an
arrangement was come to. _ _ _

Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said that the only question
which could have arisen was as to the amount of damages,
and he was glad to be spared the opportunity of refining
awry the amount.
• •

Mr. D. Seymour—The question was not so much the
amount of the damages as the amount that could be ob-
tained from the defendant.

A verdict Iran then taken for the plaintiff for 50/. by
consent.

THE POLICE COURTS.
_ GUILDHALL.

',arid Timm • journeyman hairdresser, appeared be-
fore Alderman dopeland to answer • summons made re-
turnable immediately, which charged him with using
threatening language to his master.
Thomas Pryor said he carried on the business of a hair-
dresser at No. 10, Aldersgateatreet. The defendant had
been working for him as a journeyman for about two
months. The previous evening he had to attend upon
some ladies in the saloon, and one of them complained that
she had not been properly attended to. He went upstairs
and found that ho had got • lady with her hair half cut.,
and had left her with the cloth round her neck to attend
upon somebody else. He said to the defendant, " This will
not do ; it is abominable ; you shall not stay in my employ."
He came that morning and insisted on staying in the
gentlemen's saloon. V. itness would not let him wait on
any of the customers, and then he held his fist up to him,
and, using disgusting language, threatened to double him
up. He offered defendant two days' pay, but he demanded
a week, which he (witness) refused, telling him that if he
were not satisfied he had • remedy open to him. Two
American gentlemen came in, and be wanted to attend
upon them, but witness would not let him. One of them
wished to know who was the master of the houae, and on
his telling him that be was, he said " Well, then, you
should be master of your house." They requested him to
attend upon them, and he and the other man did so.
The defendant stood by all the time, and repeated his dis-
gusting language and threats.
A witness named Henry Hamlet having corroborated
the above statement,
The defendant denied the bad language and threats, but
admitted that he insisted on staying there and attending
on the customers, in opposition to the will of the com-
plainant.
Alderman Copeland said—The time has arrived when
masters must be protected, and I shall hind you over in
your owa recognisanoe in 101. to keep the peace for six
months.

TER BIRMINGHAM MURDER. —At the inquest on
Wednesday afternoon before Dr. Birt Davies, the borough
coroner for Birmingham, on the body of Mr. John Pun,
who was shot dead a fortnight ago under the cir-
cumstances which have already been detailed, Henry
Grilhn Plant, a clerk in the employ of the firm, was ex-
amine,' after our parcel was despatched. He said—On the
afternoon of the bth of April I was in the same room with
the deceased. While I warn sitting at a desk writing out
an invoice, having my back to the door, I heard the click
of a pistol either cocked or let down. I don't recollect
bearing anything else—no report. I then turned round and
saw the deceased facing the prisoner Scott, who stood at •
distance of from six to eight feet from him. Scott then
walked into his own room backwards, the deceased follow-
ing him. A struggle then took place, apparently for
the possession of a revolver which Scott held in his
I right hand. During the struggle he fired the revolver
at the deceased, and the ball entered his abdomen. De-
ceased staggered back into his own room, and was followed
by Scott. At this point Mr. Charles Peyse and Mr, Red-
man entered the room, and Mr. Charles Pryse held Scott's
back against the desk, while Mr. Redman held him by the
shoulder. The revolver was diecharged by Scott, sad
wounded the hand of Mr. Charles Pryer, wbo took the
revolver from him, and struck him on the bead with it.
I then lett, and went for Mr. Meeks, surgeon. I don't
recollect hearing anything after the click of the pistol
until I saw the deceased rush towards Scott. The
pistol might have been fired when I heard the
click. I remember that I observed something flash before
my eyes. There were no other persons in the room at the
time of the click. I did not hear any words exchanged
between the deceased and Scott at the time. I did not
speak; I was dumbfounded. The deceased fell to the
ground jolt after the revolver had been taken from Scott.
Scott deliberately came into the room and fired the piety'
at the deceased. An hour after the murder, Meeks, a gun.
maker, heard Scott say, " I killed John Pryse ; he has
been • enemy to me fora good while." This was the
principal evidence. After the coroner had summed up,
the jury returned • verdict of " Wilful murder against
Scott." The inquest lasted six home. Yesterday morn-
ing the prisoner was brought up before the borough magis-
trates, and similar evidence to the above having been
adduced the prisoner was committed to take his trial at
Warwick arises.

COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
—A collision of a serious nature occurred early yesterday
morning at the Barkstene Junction of the Great Northern
Railway, four miles north of Grantham. At this point
the new Lincoln and Stonington branch diverges to the
right from the main line, and a train of empty horseboxes
was proceeding in the direction of Lincoln (for the pur-
pose of conveying horses from the Lincoln April Fair, now
being held in that city), when an up goods train dashed
with terrific violence into it as it was crossing the up-line,
smashing the guard's break to splinters, together with se-
veral horseboxes, &c., and completely blocking both
lines. Telegraphic information was of course for-
warded to the officials at Grantham, and break-
down gangs at once despatched to the scene
of the thirster. Upon their arrival it was discovered that
two of the guards were seriously injured and a third
much shook. The company's medical officer from Gran-
tham was as soon as possible in attendance, and the,
unfortunate men under his care conveyed to Grantham,
there to undergo a more minute examination, the result
proving that one, whose name is Hanson, is much injured
about the head and face, and, it is feared, has lost one
eye ; the other, whose name is Herring, bad several ribs
broken, and was also much cut about the face by the
splinted of thriven. We understand both are doing as
well as can be expected. The drivers and firemen escaped
unhurt. The line was cleared during the day, when the
tnitlic, which had been much interrupted, resumed its
usual course. Disregard of signals by the driver of the
up goods train Is dated to have been the Gaud of the col-
Reim.

Ili WINTER.—Thu past winter has
been characterised by the large amount of distress which
has prevailed in this country. The severity of the weather
was undoubtedly the cause of the increase in the number
of persons applying for relief above that of last year. In
January, when the frost was keenest, the destitution was
greatest, as the returns of the Poor-law Board for that
month will show. The proportion was very unequal in the
different divisions of the kingdom—in the metropolis it
exceeded that of any otherparVahowing that where wealth
abounds poverty abounds also ; but there was no one of
the divisions where the pauperism did not exceed that of
last year. Thus, in the district least affected the number
of persona receiving relief in January last was 2.7 per
cent. more than in the same month last year, while in
London it was no less than 72.6 per cent. For more than
three years, in the north-western diviUon, pauperism had
declined month by month, when suddenly, in January,
2,000 a-day were added to the 100,000 already existing,
and in London, for a fortnight, nearly 3,000 a-day. The
contributions of the charitable flowed in, and the grand
cause—the cold—abating the destitution was much
lessened at the end of the month, so that in the same
districts the increase, instead of being respectively 27.4
and 72.6 per cent., became 12.7 and 57.3 per cent., and in
the whole of England it was reduced to 13.7 per cent.
Medical Press and Circular, April 24.
Tug CarrLs PLAGUE—During the week ending
20th April, 1867, two fresh outbreaks of cattle plague,
embracing five attacks, are reported ; I on premises con-
taining three cows, in the petty sessional division of Bake.
well (county of Derby), and the other on a farm having •
stock of 28 cattle in the petty sessional division of Barton-
on-Humber (Lindsey division of Lincolnshire). In the
former case one cow was attacked and was killed by order
of the inspector; in the latter, 4 steers contracted the
disease, 3 of which were killed by order of the inspector,
and 1 died. No healthy cattle were slaughtered during
the week through having been in contact with infected
animals. The total number of cattle reported to have
been attacked in Great Britain since the commencement is
253,90'2, and 52,703 animals have been slaughtered healthy
to prevent the spread of the disease.
