CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Peeotder.)

William Rawlings Lendley, 26, who had pleaded guilty
on Iln previous day to a ofsage of the earn channel.,
wee ireught op for judgment.
err. Mootegu WlMa=, who appeared for the prisoner,
called a number of respectable winnow, who gars bin in
exednat ohmmeter.
The Recorder said that the prisoner bad pleaded
to the charge of uttering • baptismal certificate relating to
himself, by which be would have been made to appear to
be six years younger than he really was, and which world
ben enabled him to compete in • civil genies 0132111R5.
tion. HL offence was not so bad as that of the last pd.
goner ; but still, if he had succeeded, it would hare been
very unjust to the other competitors to have to compete
with one who was so much older than they were. He ap-
peared, however, to have been in great distress at the time,
and he had a mother dependent upon him, and under
all the circumstances he should only sentence him to two
months' imprisonment.
John ErWeheart, a gentlemanly-looking young man, •
German, pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering an order
for the payment of money, with intent to defraud.
Mr. F. H. Lewis, who was instructed to prosecute,
briefly stated the fide of the case, which have appeared
during the last day or two in the Mansion-house police
report, and 'said that the prosecutor was anxious to re-
commend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of
the court.
He was sentenced to twelve months' bard labour.
Thomas Arthur Hill, 34, and Caroline Hill, 22, his wife,
were charged with uttering forged orders for the delivery
of
elenain prosecuted.
This was a prosecution instituted by a society called the
London Wholesale Drug and Chemical Protection Society,
the members of those trades having, it appeared, been
subjected for a considerable time to extensive depreda-
tions of the same character as those imputed to the
prisoners. The male prisoner had been employed as an
assistant by several gorgeous. and be thus acquired a know-
ledge of the mode of dealing with the wholesale houses in
the drug trade. He appeared to have carried on a regular
system of sending forged orders to different wholesale
druggists, these orders being written by himself, and the
wife being the person employed to deliver them.
The jury found both prisoners Guilty, but recommended
the woman to mercy.
Bridence was then given that the man bad been twice
before convicted of felony, and was upon one octagon
sentenced Ur six years' penal servitude. He was sentenced
to seven years' penal servitude, and sentence upon the
woman was deferred. ~
John Adele*, 38, and Mary Anne Brown, 34, pleaded
guilty to five indictments charging them with burglary
and receiving stolen property,
Lockyer, the former warder at the House of Correction,
gave an extraordinary account of the career of the male pri-
soner. It appeared that he was convicted at the Middlesex
sessions so long ago as 1849. andthat he had been convicted
of burglary, robbery with violence, and several other
serious offences, and had been sentenced to various terns
of penalservitude. happened that upon one occasion.
after several convictions for various crimes, he 'gain made
his appearance at this court, and be was then only sen-
tenced to nice months' imprisonment, and, of course, the
moment he regained his liberty he resumed his old di. I
honest course of life. It was also stated that the prisoner
was believed to have been concerned, with another man
who was sentenced to penal servitude for life, in commit-
tine a desperate aessult and robbery in the neighbourhood
of Ham*tod, and the prisoner ontrived to escape by
committing • violent assault upon the constable. It
appeared that the prisoner was suspected of having been
concerned in committing no fewer than thirty burglaries in
the neighbourhood of Shooter'ehill and Ennui.
The female prisoner handed in • paper to the Recorder,
in which she stated that she had been compelled to join
in the different robberies to which she had leaded guilty
by the brutality and violence of her compann.
The constable in the case informed the Recorder that
there was reason to believe that the man Adams was in
the habit of ill-using the woman, and he had himself seen
him strike her.
The Recorder, upon these facts, sentenced Adams to be
kept in penal servitude for fifteen years, and the woman
Brown to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six
months.

A respectable-looking lad, named Jolat Brooks, appa-
rently about 12 years old, but who turned out to be 16,
who surrendered to take his trial, was charged with shoot-
ing at another lad, named Wilford, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Daly prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by
Mr. Warton.
The learned oouneel for the prosecution, in opening the
came, said he should not press the charge of felony, but
should merely ask them to convict the prisoner of unlaw-
fully wounding. He then proceeded to state the circum-
stances under which the charge was preferred, and said
that on the Bth of March two parties of boys were having
• sort of sham fight at Stratford, and the party to which
the prisoner belonged, having the worst of it, ran away.
The prosecutor, who belonged to the victorious party,
was in the act of following, when the prisoner
turned round and fired a pistol at him. The pistol was
loaded with small atones, and one of these went into the
left eye of the prosecutor, and it was necewry to take the
eye out of the socket to extract the stone, an the sight of
the eye was eventually entirely lost. The defence that was set
up for the prisoner was, that the grosecntor and a number
of other big boys were in the habit of attacking the pri-
soner and other little boys, and threatening to beat them,
and that they were all armed with sticks and pieces of rope.
It was contended, under these circumstance*, that the pri-
saner had merely acted in self defence, supposing that be
had discharged the pistol, but that it was extremely pro-
bable that the pistol went off by accident, in consequence
of the state of alai of the prisoner at the time.
The Recorder, in summing up, expressed his opinion
that, no fasts had been proved that would justify the pri-
soner in discharging the pistol, and that he certainly was
guilty of the offence of unlawfully wounding.
The jury accordingly found him Guilt!, of that offence,
and the learned judge sentenced him to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for one month.
The grand jury have ignored the bill against Sarah Brit.
tale, for attempting to murder her husband by cutting his
throat.

BITTING IN LONDON.—TusaDAY.
Although the master at the elute to-day was sot over
numerous it was made up of influential el/amens, and in

times. 5001 e 30 was aceepted twins about Viridis, while
Abergeldie declined to as much as 100 to 6 ; Osithneen was
in moms force at 20 to 1, and Beattyg was readily invested
upon at 20 to 1. For the One Thousand Guineas there
was something of a rush on Franchise, one bookmaker
offering 6 to 1 being shot on the instaat, while 5 to 1 was
taken idndly. For the Two Thouaaad, Renaructisa and
Formosa occupied much the same positions as previously.
Typhoeus, however, was scarcely so firm, as 100 to 12 was
currently offered against him, and 9 ponies were laid nos.
Pace oleo went rather unsteadily, for after 500rto 40 bad
been accepted about him, he gradually receded to 100
to 6 offered. The remaining transactions presenting no
peculiar feature do not cell for remark. The first pro-

upward tendency, had 1,400 to 200 taken about him, no
more than 100 to 8 was quoted against Speculum, with
counter offers to accept 100 to 7. Harvester was backed in
the course of the morning five or sir times at 1,000 to 50,
and the same odds would have been taken again, but 1,000
to 60 was the highest offer at the finish. The position of
The Earl was somewhat pugging ; after 1,000 to 25 had
been accepted twice, 5,000 to 100 was offered, whereof
1 000 to 20 was taken, and at the same momenta eon&
timid bet was made of 5,000 to 200, provided the hone
won the Biennial Stakes, to be run at Newmarket on
Thursday next. Upwards of 100/. was invested on Resti-
tution at 50 to 1, and Franchise was supported three or

BROMLET SPRING MEETING.—ThaaDAY.
Large though the attendance was on Monday, it 'was
fully doubled to-day. The weather was again highly
favourable to the sport which was, however, unfortunately
marred by a fatal accident to one of the riders in the
Steeplechase Plate, Mr. E. Clifford. The deoeseed was
riding his own horse, Vindicator, who appeared to be
winning eerily, but mime down at the last fence, and
completely rolled over his rider, injuring him so severely
that he died almost immediately. The race in which the
acoident occurred was declared void, the other competitors
having gone the wrong course. Eight races were decided
in the afternoon, and one of them—the Selling Hurdle
Rose, produced a dead-heat. Particulars of the running
