OXFORD RACES.-FRID IY.

There was a material improvement in the weather on
the ssoond day, as the sun shone brilliantly throughout
the froceedings: but the ground must have been very ma-
tron' ortsile for the holiday people, as it was muddy and
sloppy; and many of the jockeys that rode in the various
noes were almost unrecognisable as they passed the stand,
so bespattered were they with mire. The sport was fair,
as will be gathered from the appended returns.

HOME ClRCl3lT.—exorpox, AUGUST 16.
(Before Baron Martin and a Special Jury.)
DANIEL V. SRI NZTIOPOLITAN RAILWAY.

Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Day, and Mr. Morgan Howard
were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr.
C. Pollock, Q.C. and Mr. Lloyd were for the defendants.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is •
Scripture reader and miaaionary, to recover damages for
injuries he sustained through the falling of the iron
girder at the cattle market at Smithfield • few months
back, one of the questions in the cause being whether the
defendants or the Thames Iron Works Company, by whom
the girder in question had been supplied, were legally
re ible for the accident.
The cause was at length referred, upon an understanding
between the
.parties as to an eventual arrangement being
come to.
