waur ; 0. Abdale—Zeta; John Dawson—Ban Francisco ;
C. Wintriegheen—Houghton; Pathos—Little Bird;
Flintoff—Lady Florence.

Of these I- shall take T. Taylor's first. Types, 6 yrs,
84 71b, and Peter Wilkins, 3 yrs, Est 21b, are both Lord
Ceesterfield's, and eousidering the weight of the latter with
reference to the other three-year-olds, he can seareely hope
to win with him. At Chester Typo. had Set, and Pets,
Whim Seta daunts of 421 b—when the old mare was
the cheese representative; and ae she now has bat 331 b
more than Peter, it .00ks • settled thlog that she does battle
again. Types will find her old opponent, Yorkshire Grey,
hard to boat at 26. b. At Chester she gave him 321 b, and
beat him by two lengths; but at Manchester, at 291 b, the
Grey beat her by two lengths, thus upsetting the Chester
running completely, and proving that Ty pee was brought so
promisently into the rase by the tact of Flatman when the
scrimmage took place. At their present weights, however,
they are bought together to • nicety ; and perhaps in •
larger field, and with a better pose, Types might be able to
show him her tail again.
Joba Osborne, however, may find a better than York:
shin Grey, 4 yrs, Set 91b, in either Lady Tattoo, 4 yrs,
7st 21b, or Lord Alfred, 4 yrs, let lb. Lord Allred has
not shown himself yet thh season ; bet I doubt whethet be
likes two miss, and I believe that the Lady does. At
Chester she was see of the last with 60 121 b for the
Cap, bat without being wanted as the ninety, and I lite
►er performance at York best, when she run fifth, with
61b, for the Great Nuthera, to Oas Act. Gaudy beat
her with 6st 61b, while cut of conditioe, and the 51h dif•
fennel in her favour now is about an equivalent for the
defeat ; but she is most likely to succum► to Gaudy again,
if he is In form, as to Dawson's hone, on the day.
Of W. I'Anson's two, Courtenay, 4 yn, let, ought to be
better than Brazey, 6 yrs, let; bat I cannot ban him for •
two tele race against Yorashire Gray.
J. Scott was originally repreunterd by a round dens,
which are now reduced to Honeysuckle, 6 yrs, Sat 91b;
Warlock, 3 yre, fist 61b; and Courtier, 3 In, 60. Honey.
suckle appears to be held safe by Lady Tattoo, according
to their York ruining, and Courtier by Zeta; but Warlock
will be a worthy champion for so great a stable with suc► •
light weight, if he la only as good as he looks. We have
seen nothing of him in public this season; but his style of
going, while with Scott's Derby and other horses at
Lestberhead, was greatly admired, and I can recollect that
last year he lea a dead heat with Spindle, and likewise
beat Courtier, Aznouncenseat, Porta Rio, Alfred, &a,
always nutting well up. This running, coupled with a
great improvement on last year's form, serves to render him
one of the best looking of*. whole thirty.
Wedlow's Whitelock, 6 yrs, Set flub; Bt. Clue, 6 yrs,
60; sad Lily, 4 yn, fist 1116. Whitelock rather surprised
the public by winning this same stake last year, with 6st
91b, after • fine rue w►th Vindex, 7st 91b ; but he is hardly
likely to do his party the same tarn again. St. Clare ha-
-1 mesa Irish fashion; end the beet of the lot I take to be
Lily, and she has only her feather weight to recommend her.
la•gstar's two (Artillery, 3 yrs, and Coney, 4 yrs, both
Est 61b) are likely to be very quiet. I know that Artillery
tan give Casey the year and soesethiag to boot; but his St
Lager chutes say tempt Mr. Morris to keep him at home.
I do not like either of Febert's—Freddy, 4 yn, 60 21b,
beiag held safe by Tyre, and Villiers, 3 yrs, fist, ran so
badly at Think and Durham that his chutes looks hopelese.
Oat of eleven entered, Dawson's lot °Depth's Gaudy,
3 yrs, Est 61b ; Aanounsemeat, 8 yrs, 6st 21b ; and King
of Boatload, 3 yrs, 6st. The two lint mentioned have per-
formed so badly, that I think tie stable mast pram* stand
en Gaudy, lulus they have been working a second Bllieg-
toa nunapam, for King of Scotland is Unruly the favour-
ite. Gaady's beet performance was in the Great Honkers
Handicap, for which, while coughing badly, he nude all the
resales, and finally finished fourth. He has slate
appeared, and got beaten ; bat I expect to au him rue
very well, when meant, which ha not bun the ease too
•Rea this emu.

Having now disposed of the "lots," I go oa to—
Caanobie, 3 yn, en 91b, the top weight of the t►rss•year
olds, and be is so inn In that he will soon ho the favourite.
His performance are so well known that they need no
anneal frau as ; and, en ens of the beet bones we have
on the turf, be meat ran into the front for everything he is
muted for; and be is not likely to get inch a light weight
gala is a bandies's.

Bolos, 4 yrs, ilsi 61b, is only asoderats, sad act likely to
fapron mask co his last year's pssitioa.

ink, g» lost 71b, has bees ;rough to Ms proper level,
and I sat as strong is his favour here u I wee *genet bin
over the Darby. He is undoubtedly rather better than t►e
average three year olds, sad Canaoble might dad it difienit
to givo him 161 b. over two mike. He !tainted in the middle
of the sesead division ter the Derby ; bat that is not a midi-
neat criterion of his merits, and I should advise hie party to
gin his, one men trial, lie is moderate eompany, sad with
a light weight, Nis likely to be more at home.

Absolution,- 3 yrs, fiai 61b, ran very badly twke last
Kano., and ha sot bees out for twelvemonths, so that I
caa find little in his favour. sad rout par on to
Zeta, 3 yrs, bat 61b, who is likely to be made a grog
tumults, and I shall watch her rusting this season, as As
looks a "good thing," when prepared. At TOrksho
ran elms up for the Flying Datsbasaa's Handicap, was by
Ons Act, sad last year she beat Warlock la their plasm by
two or throe lengths, foe which she is handicapped to give
him Elba. I bare been glum to understand that she goes
for this, and mut memo to a partiality for her ladyship.
If I throw aside Lord Derweatwater, 3 yrs, Est 61b, sad
Boa Truism, 3 yn, 6st 41b, bemuse they ars net good
enough; Hoogincia, 3 yrs, Est 41b, because I know nothing

Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Murray sop/tared for the

defendant.
This was an ution brought by the plaintiff, an architect,

defendant pleaded never indebted, a set-tff by reason of work
performed antoutiag to 391. 189.' and that the 'agree-
ment on which the plaintiff founded his claim was obtained
by fraud. From the evidence adduced on behalf of the
plaintiff (who admitted trie set-ti) it appeared that he fint
became sequinned with the defendant in March, 1866,when
he called at her studio is Oatord.street, for the parpose
of having some sketches made end some pictures cleaned.
The work was performed to the general satniaction of the
plaintiff, who, conceivieg Mr.. Johnson a lady of talent,
and always finding her herd at work when he called,
proposed that she should remove to a house which he had
In Bond street, when the would soon, by becoming better
known, realise an independence. Vaeions interviews took
place between the parties, end Sadly Mrs. Johnson entered
on possenion of the premises. on the rubel understanding
that if she succeeded in the object she tad in view she was '
to pay the rent, 2601. • year. Accordingly, in the June
folinnag, she entered on posseseicio, and it was suggested
theta parson named Barnes should enter into partnership
with her, and that she should be instructed in colouring
photographs. Things went on smoothly enough until the
plaintiff's return from a tour, after having enjoyed his
honeymoon, when "a change nine o'er the spint of his
dream," and he in December last called upon Mrs. Johnnie,
and requested her tongs an sgre.ment horsing herself to
pay 2601. • year for the house. In default of payment of
the quarter's residue the 25th of March last the present
action was brought. In support of this view of the case the
agreement was pat in evidence, by which it appeared that
the defendant bound herself to pay 2601. • year for the
beau.

Mr. Janes, on the conelssion of the plaintiff' case, said
he would not all on the defendant for Goats or not if she

Mr. Beret Martin—Why proceed with the matter any
farther? If the pies alleging that the agreement was ob-
tained by fraud is good, the agreement is bad, and the plait.
tiff can at once ends possession of the house.
Mr. James repeated his offer, but with the same curses.
Bzuninatiou coatiosed—She accomplished the work as
set forth in the particulars of set-off for the plaintiff, and
he made no objection to the items, but said he would pay
her the NM S 4 any other person he employed. Shortly
after the work had bees done he called on her, sod iadooed
her, by the representations he made, to give up her
studio in Oaford-street, and she seoordingly did so, and re-
moved her property. He said he would take • house for
her in Bond-strest, and the understanding at the time was
that the was to pay 1501. for the entire house after she bad
beet In possession for one year, daring which period she
we. not to be called on to pay say rent. On her expression
of gratitude for this liberal offer, the pleat& said, "Ob,
I hays let the shop to Mr. Con for 1401., and I shall be no

that he would stand by her and promote her interests.
