NORTHAMPTON AUTUMN MEETING.
TUICSDAT.

The hopes which the numerous entries for the different
rues at this meeting held out of ample sport were not
realised, as the fields, with one exception, were of the
smallest dimensions, and the sport uneventful, the issues
generally being in favour of backers. A number of causes
contributed to the slender patronage accorded to the
gathering, and the absence of the leading tuifites who
muster so strongly at the
_spring meeting. Many who '
would have ":misted " at Mr. Marshall's gathering had
not returned from France, whilst others had either Jour-
neyed to the Edinburgh meeting or gone pheasant shoot-
ing. The weather was all that could be desired, and there
sons a numerous attendance of holiday people. The racing
requires no co.nmeut beyond the appended return. To-
day, in accordance with a resolution come to by the list-
keepers and " bag-men," neither lists nor bags were ex-
hibited. either in the ring or out of it. The lid men how-
ever were stationed at their usual places, and those that
were known came in for their usual share of patronage ;
but the absence of the placards bearing the well-known
names afforded a rare opening for the welsher*, about
whose depredations there were many complaints during
the afternoon. There was not much change in the positions
of the leading favourites for the Cesarewitch, and the
transactions effected will be found fully indicated by the
list appended to the following report of the day's racing :

BETTING IN LONDON.—Tuasuuy.

The attendance to-day wan extremely limited, and
although no great amount of business was transacted,
there was sufficient to indicate the tone of the market.
For the Cesarewitch Honesty bad still a progressive and
improving appearance, 5 to 1 being taken readily, and be-
tween 2001. and 300/. was invested at this price; the only
other change to note was the decided retrogression of
Armourer, against whom as much as 100 to 7 was laid, the
layer desiring to go on. Some speculation took place on
the Middle Park Plate. There were offers to take sto 4
about Lady Elizabeth ; 6 ponies were taken about Typhceus
with a start ; nine fifties Lady Coventry, unconditionally,
and 100 to 8 Rubicon, but against the latter 100 to 7 was
immediately afterwards offered. Speculation on the Cam-
bridgeshire was for the most part transacted in small money,
and no noteworthy incident transpired in connection with
thisevent. Very little was done on the Derby, but that little
shce,ed a desire to lay against Lady Elizabeth, one specu-
lator booking 100 to 15 three times, and offers of 6 to 1
being subsequently plentiful. Closing prices:

SE1101:78 COLLIERY ACCIDENT NE BARNSLEY.—
. *Manly after 6 o'clock considerable consternation was cre-
ated in the Bernaley district by • rumour that the Straf-
ford Main Colliery, of which Mr. Parry, M.P. for Boston,
is one of the principal proprietors as wall as manager, bad
"fired." The road leading to the colliery was soon
thronged with factory hands and miners, and the greatest
excitement prevailed in Barnsley and the neighbourhood.
On reaching the pit bill it wee found that the men, who
bad only just commenced work, had bad a very narrow
escape indeed. Whilst at work at the first jinney on the
north aide, some 400 yards from the bottom, • large fall of
roof took place, displacing a very large quanta, of gas
which the men did not immediately discover. The out-
break was first noticed by one of the miners, who noticed
the flickering of his lamp, and with great preemie of
mind put out several which were hanging up for those
who were in charge of the corves. A rush was then made
to the bottom by the men on the north side, but so power.
fat was the gas that several of them were completely over-
powered. The men on the north side were supposed to
have been got out, but it was found that two or three
were missing. Several of the men then went down and
found two of them quite exhausted. The men working ow
the south side were not aware of the accident for some
time after it occurred, but when made aware of it they
with the others left off work, and the pit stiod during the
day.

THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER.

The evidence for the prosecution was resumed yesterday
morning.
The first witness was Robert Hunter. He said—l am •
labourer. I was not present at the beginning. Got there
at the time the atrgeant was shot. I saw a man fire—
Allen (pointing him out). I also saw John Martin, Larkin,
and Blichael Maguire.—Maguire—Do you mean me!—
Witness—]es. I saw no more. Martin and Maguire
shouted out " Fire." I saw Larkin as he was running, and
was there when he was caught.—By Mr. Bennet—This
occurred al'out a quarter or ten minutes to four. I was
coming with a lorry. I was there when Brett was shot.
There were a good many persons there. I was standing on
the contrary aide of the arch, close to it. There were plenty
of persons round about, and there were persons between
me and the van. Martin and Maguire were on the foot.
path. I did not know them before. I did not see anything
in their hands. My attention was drawn to them bemuse
I saw them. I have seen them since at Belle line, and
Albert-street once. There were about 20 when I saw
them at Belle Yee. There were two officers with me and
two other witnesses. I pointed the prisoner out the first
time to the officers. I did not point them out at Albert-
street. I was looking through a window. No officers were
with me at Albert-street. I made nee of no strong lan:

guage there. I did not use any filthy language, sassy I
wish they were hung. Mr. Roberts—Recollect yourself.
Press him on that point. I ssw them at the City Gaol last
Wednesday. I did not take any particular notice as to
how Martin was dressed. I only noticed his features. I
only know Maguire by his features. I don't know the
distance, but Iwu close to the arch. I saw them either
on Friday or Thursday, about ten o'clock. It was not half-
past ten. He was pressed as to the time, and said it was
about ten.

Mr. Roberts—Mind, you are on your oath, and will have
to answer again. Have you ever expressed a wish that
these Fenian should be banged ! A. I have not expressed
any wish. I said I could hang Allen for what I saw him
do.—Q. Have you ever expressed a wish that he should be
hung ? A. No.—Q. That you swear! A. Yes.—Q.
Nothing like it ? A. No.—Q. Not a word about it ? A.
I only said I could hang him for what I saw him do.—Q.
Did you say you would hang him ! A. No.—Q. Did you
say that to the police ! A. I maid it to many a one.—Q.
Did you say to the police " I could bang him r A. Yes.
Q. You believe you could hang him ? A. Yes ; because he
said he would blow my brains out if I went a step
near him.—Q. You came here quite voluntarily! A. I
came here to tell what I have seen.--Q. You came to this
court with a good will ! A. Yee.—Q. I suppose you
think you will hang him ? A. No, I don't.—Q. That is no
doubt a great disappointment to you ? A. I don't think I
shall hang him.
Mr. Roberts—That makes you grin ; (emphatically), you
are a bad one. .

Mr. Fowler—Don't say that, Mr. Roberta; he has given
his evidence very fairly.
Mr. Roberts—l know he has told a lie about hanging.
He has expressed his opinion, and I shall express mine.
Mr. Fowler—l have endeavoured to keep myself free
from any bias, or from any expression of opinion, but it is
a very difficult thing to do.
William Walker, steelmaker, examined by Mr. Higgin,
said—l was in Gorton-lane when the people ran into it
from Hyde-road on the 18th ult. I saw the prisoner
Allen taken into custody. and also the prisoners Gould
and Moorhouse. Moorhouse and three others ran away
across Gorton-lime towards Ashbarys. We shouted to
them, " What's up?" They turned round, but made no
answer. The place where this occurred is about half •
mile from the railway arch.
Richard Bromley, mechanic, said—l was at the archway
when the van was stopped, and saw the prisoner Allen
there. Mr. Higgin—Were any of the others there? The
prisoners were ordered to stand up, but the witness could
not identify any more at the moment. Mr. Higgin—Let
the prisoners put their hats on. Mr. Cottingham—There
is no evidence that the hats were worn. Mr. Bennet—lt
would be swearing to a hat or a cap, not to the man. Mr.
Fowler—Do you press this? Mr. Higgin—Oh, I won't
press anything. Mr. Fowler—Strictly you are entitled to
it. Mr. Higgin— I will not press it. Witness—Allen had
a revolver in his hand. . .

Mr. Fowler said—ln order to avoid delay, if there are
any witnesses who refuse to come for whom you want a
summons under the new act, let application be made at
once that summonses may be issued.
Mr. Roberta—l have one as to whom my friend—lf he
would allow me to call him so—Mr. Higgin has been kind
enough to assist me. That is Patrick Kelly, who was
discharged last night.
Mr. Bennet—l have a man named Nancy, in the employ
of the corporation.
Mr. Fowler—As the Mayor is here I have no doubt he
will allow some officer of the corporation to request his
attendance, and if he refuses, a summons will be issued.
Joseph Smith said—l work at Boyer and Peacock's
boiler shop. I did not see the attack on the van. I was
at home when I heard the first shot fired. I went to the
back bedroom window and saw two men comet* the corner
of the arch with pistols in their hands. The prisoner
Allen was one, and Nugent was the other. By Mr. Ward
—The two men were standing together at the corner of the
I foot.arcb. I diet not see any person near them. It was
all nearly over by this time. I find idsntified Nugent last
Wednesday.
Charles Schofield, police.easistable, said—l was in the
cab following the prison van. I identify Allen, Nugent,
and Wm. Martin, as having beenpresent during the attack
on the van. _ . .

Nugent-1 protest, your worship. This man has been
• standing in court all day, yesterday, and previous to this,
during the examination of witnesses.
Mr. Fowler (to witness)—Were you!
Witness—l was placed on duty in court yesterday.
Mr. Fowler—Were you a witness then?
Witnese—Yes ; I was to be • witness.
Mr. Fowler—Then you ought not to have been psi on
duty.
Nugent—He ought not to have been in court at all.
Mr. Fowler—lt shall appear on the depositions that he
was in court.
By Mr. Higgin—l was here from half-part nine till
twelve o'clock yesterday, and Mr. Maybury sent me away
as soon as he ascertained that I was a witness. I saw APen
firing at the hones and Nugent throwing stones at the van.
By Mr. Cottingham : I was very near when Win. Mar.in
was taken. I came with him to Belle Vue. I had never
seen him till that day. I don't know the place he was
taken. I have no idea of the distance from the arch. I
was in the cab following the van. I went to Fairfield-street
station before I went in pursuit. I turned beck to Man-
chester and returned in a cab. I did not delay a minute.
The capture was about an hoar after the affair. I was
accompanied by ether policemen. I first saw three men
coming round the arch corner. The nab stopped close up
to the arch os the Manchester side. I got out of the cab
u soon as it steeped. I was sent back directly to Fairfield
to give information, bat before I was instructed to go back
I went to the beak of the van, sad saw most of the men.
I have not said anything to Martin about what he was
arrested for. I did not tell him he was arrested for throw-
ing stones. I did not know whether any other policemen
went to his house. There were not so many people
about when Martin was taken. None of the other
pentane were with him whom I saw at the van.
I was not in town on Saturday. I was not in
court at all on Friday. I did not see the pri-
soners in any part of the court on Friday, but
I saw them at the station, getting out of the van. I
did not see them at all on Saturday. I told the sergeant
yesterday that I was a witness ; but, notwithstanding, I
was put on duty, directly opposite the prisoners.—By Mr.
Ward—l saw Nugent as soon as I got there, before the
peeping round
He was about the first man I saw ; he was
round the corner of the arch. I saw him through
the cab window before I got out. lie was on the left-hand
side of the arch. He threw stones after the van stopped,
but not when I first saw him. Three or four men were
standing with him They all rushed out as soon as we got
there. I identified Nugent at Albertainut &station on
Sunday week.
By Mr. Cottingham—None of the prisoners now in oonrt
was with Martin when be was taken.
John Thompson, polioe-oonstable' said—l was in the ,
cab following the van. I saw the disturbance. Nugent
and Shore were there. I saw Nugent with a Urge stone
trying to break in the side of the van. Shore was throw-
ing stones. Boylsad was doing the same. I remained
there five minutes, and then went in a cab to Fairfield-
street. I got out of the abb. I could see all that was
going on.
By Kr. Wend—l was six or eight yards from Nugent,af ter
I gotout of the cab. When! saw him. I saw him,withastooe.
A great many were altogether round the van. At that
time there was no one between us and those breaking the
van. I first identified him in Albert-street. I pointed
him out in Albert:street the day after the affair. lam not
quite sure.—Mr. Ward: He was not in custody then. A.
It was either that day or the day after. I believe it was
one of thou two days. By Mr. Roberta: I first identified
Shore the same night at Livesey-street station. He was
dressed at that time somewhat similar as he is now. I
don't remember what kind of hat he had on then. At the
time I think he had a black billycock on, and dark clothes.
I have never been to Belle Vue. I have been to Albert-
street to identify him. I have been there serail times. I
I identified him each time I saw him. Boyland bad a black
hat on. I never saw either of them before. I have been
to Albert-street several times to identify him. I sin
equally certain of all. I am sure I saw them all three
there.

Before the court ram the cam for the prosecution had
been completed. Today the newly-arrested prisoners
will be examined, and then the Memos of all the prisoners
will be taken together.

THE 817TYOSED FINLAN OUTRAGE IN BLOOMS-
11UBT.—Acoording to the official report of Dr. Shoppee, at
University College Hospital, the unfortunate man ll'Don.
nen is going on very favourably, although as yet no decl-
aim as to his being out of danger has been arrived at. It
is more than probable that a consultation with the military
surgeons of the regiment in which )['Donnell wane bands-
man will be held to-morrow or Friday.

thin before him was, whether it came within the meaning
of that act. The learned counsel had cited several eases
from the law books, and a decision given by Lord Cron-
worth in 1866 ; but ho did not think either of them had any
dmilarityto the case before him. He had carefully looked
at all the evidence before him, and he did not think that
he could decide in favour of the complainants. Before he
did that he must first see whether it was a drawing coming
within the meaning of that act of parliament. He thought
not. It appeared to him to be • mere burlesque of the
original. All the evidence given by the respective wit-
nesses showed that anyone capable of reading would be able
to say that the bills were quite different. There was
some similarity, but the general drawing was distinct.
He wee therefore of opinion that the case did not come
within the meaning of the act of parliament; therefore he
dismissed the summons. If the complainants were dissa-
tisfied with his judgment, be was willing to grant a case
for the superior courts.
Mr. Besley, for the prosecution, gave notice that he
should propose a case for his worship's approval on the
question of law, " whether the drawing did not come
within the meaning of the act."
