After Term Niel Prins Sittings at GniMbelh—(Before the
Lord Chief Justice and Special Jain.)
'ADM& v. MINITIL—THZ OItAILPIONSEIP OP THE TIM.
This was an setion to recover 3001., the sum deposited
by Sadler as his sheen of the stakes to be rowed for by
him and Kelley. The defendant pleaded never indebted ;
and, secondly, that the money hail beim paid over fu am
cordate's with the decision o the referees appointed to
, decide any matters in dispute arising from the race. The
I plaintiff replied to the second plea, that he was chosen
umpire under certain restrictions, according to the recog-
nised rules of boat racing, and that he had paid the money
over to Kelley contrary to those rules.
lir. Hawkins, QC., and Mr. Henry Jameawere annual
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjennt Dallantine and Mr. Garth,
Q.C., optimal for the defendant.
Mr. Hawkins, in elating the ease to the jury, said the
plaintiff bad brought this action to recover from the
defendant, who is the editor and proprietor of the Sports-
man newspaper, the sum of 3001., being the amount of
money deposited by Sadler with Suiith as stake-
holder under certain articles which wero entered into
last autumn, by which Sadler and Kelley agreed to TOW
for the charUpionship of the Thames for 300/. a side. The
plaintiff's contention was that no race had taken place,
and that tbereforo he had a right to dcmend his 'money
back. Now, he (Mr. Hawkins) was afraid ho should not
be able to give the jury much assistance in this case, for
his aquatic knowledge was very limited. lie ant-dilly
knew water lily ani a water int —(latighter)—and his
learned friend (Serjeant Ballantine) who appeared for the
defendant did not know mach more—(laughter)—and he
had no doubt these aquatic gentlemen had selected him-
self soli Mr. Serjeant Ballantine as the representatives of
their interests becansa they knew nothing about the sub-
ject. (Laughter.) He would, however, endeavour to pat
them in possession of the facts from the voluminous state-
ments he bad beforo him. It appeared tint hetween
1880 and 1552, and again between Nee and 1867, Kelley,
who was a watermau, had distinguished lamedt on many
orioasions ; and the plaintiff made his first appearance in
the agnate, line as a waterless about ltsGt, and from
that time to 1867 be distinguished himself in many
instances, having rowed in saves metchee, and won six,
the seventh of which he lost owing to a pain which at-
tacked him in the middle of thereto, or ha tLought he would
hero beaten the celebrated Bub Chambers at Newcastle.
In 1867, Kelley was considered to be the champion of the
Thames, and Sadler being anxious to dispute it with him,
challenged him to row from Putney to Mortlake. The
articles were earanged, and the 27th November, 1%7, about
es unpleasant a day as any man weld steect, however
fond he might he of aquatic sports, was fixed upon for the
race. They started by mutual consent. He was told that
with amateur rowers it was neual to have a starter to start
them, but with professional towers the universal practice
was to FLU tby what was called mutual consent—the con-
currence of both parties. He confessed he thought it
would be more convenient to alter it, and adopt the prac-
tice now resorted to in foot races of being started
instead of starting by mutual consent. That alte-
ration he was inform by the sane autherity who
bail 'instructed him in aquatic., was made
-ao in
contequente of some pertinetions competitor being
suddenly rind with the stonuichlie—(laughtere—and
st inding two whole days with his back aeminst a wall—
(langhter)—which so disputed les opponent that he would
not run at all, and he believed that until his opponent was
thoroughly tired out or went to sleep, if it lad been till
that time, the gertleinan with the psis in his stomach
would never have recovered. That race, however, ulti-
mately resulted, to use a leg.l phrase, in the withdrawal
of a juror. Sadler and Kelley alerted, however, by
teal consent on the e7ill November' according to the
articles catered into between them. They left Putney,
and on their getting under Ilaromersmith Badge plaintiff
complained that he was being bored lty Kelley, sad he
applied to the referee to declare it a foul race, and when they
I got to Mortlake the referees decided it was no race, and ee-
-1 pointed the following day for the match to come off. TieJ
1 competitors acconliegly wet on the IZth, but great difficulty
was experienced in setting Kelley to start, end afterwards
Sadler was averse to start, in consequence of the
proximity of the steamboats, and he expressed his dis-
inclination to row unless a fair start could be
obtained. It being a cold, raw, hazy day, and seeing that
Kerley bad no disposition to start, Sadler rowed to the
cutter that was in attendance to put on a light jersey in
which to row, and not as any indthation that be did not
inteud to row the race. Upon that, Kelley rowed to the
umpire's boat and informed the umpire and referees that
Sadler declined to start, and that he would not start, sad
that Sadler bed constantly thwarted him in endeavouring
to do so. Upon that Mr. Biffitl said. " Well, if he will
not start, start yourself, and row over the course." And
accordingly Kelleyreturned to the starting pleas and with-
out one word of warning or intimation of what had been
raid by the referee, he started Women and rowed to Mort-
lake, followed by Sailer, where he was awarded the stakes
by the referee, whose decision upon Kelley's esparto
statement was toted to be final. Against that decision a
protest was entered ; but notwithstanding that, and a
letter from the plaintiff to Mr. (tenter, lie paid over the
money to Kelley, and it was upon those grounds that the
action was ',roue's&
The plaintiff was called, end minutely detailed the
above facts, and before he heal concluded his evidence,
Mr. Serjeant BalLintino took a technical objection to the
further progress of the ease, on the ground that the facts
which would he disputed did not apply or affect the um-
pire's conduct ; hat thnt rested on a point of law.
The Lord Chief Justice—Li it true that the umpire gave
his decision without hearing what you had to say ?
Sadler—Yes ; I never saw him.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said the Watermen's rules were
binding.
In emirs-examination plaintiff said—l wished to have a
starter, but Kelley objected. The race was to be rowed
according to the recognised rules of boat racing. By the
Cambridge and Oxford rules they have astarter. Amateurs
only have one referee ; but watermen have two, who elect
a third as umpire. Mr. Messenger was my referee. Mr.
Foster acted as my friend, end found the money. I don't
know whether we arc governed by the printed rules of
rowing clubs.
Mr. Serjeant Ballentine—Do you knew of any other
recognised rules?
Plaintiff —I can't read, so I never look over them.
(Laughter.) I never rowed in a jersey or zephyr in
wetermen's race. I should if it was a cold day. I rowed
with Chambers. Them was a foul there. I was charged
with fouling, and it was decided against me. I rowed
with Percy. A foul was charged then, and it was decided
seainst him. I rowed ageinst Kelley in Paris ; but I was
disqualified from auy place in the race. My brother was
leading me when I was three boats' lengths ahead of
Kelley. If Kelley had started end the comae was free
from rough water owing to the steamboats, I would have
started. I went to the starting post with the view and
intention of starting. On the night of the first race I felt
ill in the chest, and consulted Dr. Willis. I bad not •
cough. I did not consult bins as to my rowing the race
the second day. Dr. Willis did not tell me not to row. I
did not say to any one that I did not intend to row. I beat
him once, and I think I can beat him now. (Laughter.)
Kelley never told me he was ordered by the referee to row
the race. He did not say that if I dial not row he should. I
was not in such a position that if Kelley had started I
should have fouled him. Kelley once oomplained that my
boat was not straight, and I put it straight directly.
Reexamined—Kelley was coaching me when I fouled
Chambers. Kelley bad made the match for me. The ob-
jection at Paris was that I had a boat to Dosch me. I did
not know at the time it was against the rules. I felt
liehter and better on the sealed day and more fit to row
than on the first day.
Mr. Egan (editor of Bell's Life—For three years I
was cockswain of the Cambridge University Boat Club.
I have acted for seine time as umpire at Henley-on-the-
Thames and other boat races. I was in the umpire's
boat on the second day. She had Boated a quarter of a
mile above the men. It was a clear and calm day, but
cold. I saw the men come up to the post, and durum the
ten minutes to a quarter of an hour they were there
there appeared to me every opportunity. for a fair start
if both had desired it ; and twice during that period I
saw distinctly an effort on Sadler's part to
make one ; he dipped his sculls twiee tly
with that intention. The steamer goring this time
was Boating away from the men, and it beams
more difficult to me what they were doing. It appeared
to me after the fair opportunity far alerting had
passed that they were with too near for a start. I did
not see any attempt on the part of Sadler to foul. Kelley
did nothing when Sadler made the two abortive attempts
to start. The steams: a were out of the way then • and
the course was 'clear, but with the boats foiling
up it ceased to be so. I think I saw Sadler
go to his cutter and put on his jersey. I saw Kelley come
to the umpire's boat, but I did not hear whet paused.
Kelley then left, went towards the aqueduct turned round,
and started. I know of no communication being made to
Sadler warning him to start. None could have been made
from our boat. When Kelley turned round and started he
did not go near Sadler and give him an opportunity of
starting. I don't know if Sadler said anytatng when he
got to Mortlake. I had no pecuniary interest is the vane.
I mete the account which appeared ln Belle Life. Water-
men of late years in single matches start themselves.
Cross-examined—ln these matches the general wish is
to foDow as much as poseible the minted rules of the uni-
versities and the der ll& I should think it wee intended
this match should be rowed by the printed rules. If I was
referee, and I assumed a man was shamming, I should
start the other immediately. Ido net remember each an
instance occurring.
By
dhis Lord Chief Justice—Any man would have been
in not starting after the 10 or 15 minutes I havers-
/erred to as offerlng.opportunities for a fair start A. man
loses his dance of weaning by the water beeolninfdleuLtuarbed.
The further hearing of Mee ease was then iedoor

HOME ClRCUlT.—Hausman, Bat.
The badmen of the above circuit commenced to-day, by
the opening of the commission for tho meaty of Herta
by W. Justine Byise. is consequence of there having
been s winter assize there are very tew criminal cases, and
the civil business will not be taken until Siturday morn•
ing, it having been so arranged by the Lord Chief Justice.

MIDLAND CIRCIIIT.—WARwwit, FEB. 27.
THE TENIAN PRISONEES.
These assizes commenced this mornicg, Mr. Justice
Montague Smith presiding in the Criminal Court. In
ehargiug the grand jury, the learned judge refereed at
some length to the case of the Fenian prisoners, Berke,
Casey, and Qom, indicted for treason-felony. He saw
the magistrate did wisely in committing the prisoners to
Warwick, as the principal overt act charged agaiust them
was committed in that county—he meant the procuring
of arms and ammunition at Birmingham. Persons were
Zrgy. of felony (his lerdship olscrved) who formed a
to depose the Queen rued deprive her of Ler crown
in any part of the United Kingdom, or to levy war against
her, and slowed that design by some overt act. The de•
sign imp ted to the mitotic's was that of establishiee a
republic is Ireland, and of employing force to accomplish
their object. The grand jury emit first inquiro whether
the prisoners Lad formed such designs, and secondly
whether they had acted upon and dochwed them by any
overt act, especially such as that cherged against them of
pnribroing armsin Birmingham. It appeared that Burke
joined the Fenian brotherhood in America. Hs lordslip
went on to ..peak of the este of Berko io this country,
especially Lis purchasing 622 revolvers and 2,000,000 pet•
elusion caps at Birmingham, where lan spent upwards of
2,003 f. Ile adverted to the evidence showing the own-
plicity of Sinew and illullady, and said it would be affects-
: ea to attempt to ignore the existence of the Fenian con-
spiracy. It was, however, a matter of eongrstulation that
no success can or will attend "this hopelese conspiracy."
He could not conclude without expressing his deep regret
that, in causeepienee of the death of the late lamented Mr.
Justice Shee, it bad fallen to hie lot to address the grand
jury. He believed that in Mr. Justice She* the country
possessed a judge of cultivated intellect, high sphit, and
pure independency of character. The grand jury then
retired, awl shoed), afterwards returned into court with
several true bills.
In the course of the afternoon Mr. Sills made an appli-
cation to Mr. Justice Smith, in the case of the primcer
Burke, to order the prosecution to deliver to him a copy of
the indictment, with a list of the witnesses and the jury,
tcu days previmis to his trial. The learned judge said that
in an early case in which a prisoner Wits it it.l for treason.
felony Mr. Justice Erie had decided that ho was not en-
titled to what Mr. Sills asked for. Ile therefore refused
he indication.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

•
(Before Baron Bramwell.)
Curare Auguste Oilsait, 31, • Belgian, described as a
chemist, was charged with feloniously casting and throw-
log upon Elizabeth Yates • quantity of earrosive Cuid
called oil of vitriol, with intent to injure and disfigure her
And to do her grievous Lodile harm.
Mr. Moody prosecuted. M. Albert acted as interpreter.
Thc proseentrix in this case, who it appeared was onlj
17 years old, was at present what is termed an " unfor-
iunate," but had formerly been in the employment of
the winner as a domestic servant ; but according to her
st.,tcurent she left kis service cf her own accord on am
count of the prisoner's ill.usage. The circumetancre of
'ho ease wcro somewhat remarkable. TLo prosecntrix
stied that the prisoner had committed the same act thre.-
=operate times, but on the two first occasions she made no
complaint to the police, or mentioned the Caine of the pri-
soner. The third occasion was on the 4th of January,
when the prisoner again threw some vitriol on the pro-
sccutrix from behind ; but all that was proved was that the
horning fluid was poured on the dress, and the person of
the prosecutrix was not at all injured.
The learned Judge ruled, upon these facts, that the
specific charge contained in the indictment had not been
supported. There was nothing to negative the suggestion
that the prisoner merely intended to frighteu the prose-
cutrix, and to burn her clothes •, and although this was a
very mischievous act, and one for which he ought to be
I:mashed, or be compelled to make compensation, it was
not sufficient to support the charge of intending to do the
prosecntrix grievous bodily harm.
The jury, under his lordship's direction, found the pri-
soner Not Guilty.
The prisoner was then tried upon a second indictment,
charging him with committing a similar offence on the
20th of December.
The proseentrix was again examined, and she stated that
the was walking with another young woman in the same
ueiglibourhood on tho evening of the 20th of December,
when the prisoner came up to her and threw something
upon her, which slightly burned her check and her Ibft
ear. She spoke positively to the Identity of the prisoder,
and stated that the reason she did not make any complaint
to the police was, that she did not wish to hurt him.
A grout many witnesses were examined for the defence,
with a view to prove an alibi, and also to show that the
prenatal-ix had stated that it was a man who had the ap-
pearance of a bricklayer who threw the vitriol upon her.
The jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner
Not (Ailey.
(Before the Recorder.)
Charles Clements, a respectable looking man, described
as a clerk, was indicted for feloniously wounding Samuel
Halfpenny,. with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Straight conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. F. H.
Lewis appeared for the defence.
The prosecutor stated that he was a photographer, and
that between eight and nine o'clock in the evening of the
13th Februar he was in Waterloo-house, Slog-street,
Woolwich. The prisoner came in, and addressing him,
said, " What made you go to Marlborough-street and
give evidence against me?" Prosecutor did not reply, but .
on the question being repeated, he said, " I want nothingt ,
to say to you ; you are a man of desperate character.
Shortly afterwards the prisoner stabbed him with • knife
near the temple, and rendered him almost senseless, but
a constable in plain clothes, attracted by his cries, came
in and apprehended the prisoner.
In explanation of the case, it was elicited that the pri•
goner bad been an eminent at mock auction, but that
latterly he bad been employed to put them down, and on
one occasion he was charged at Marlborough-street poliee-
court with assaulting • person named John Jennings, who,
it will be remembered, kept • mock auction at Ludgate.
ld.ll, and the prosecutor, who was then employed by Jen-
nings, wee • witness against him.
The jury returned • verdict finding the prisoner Gaily
of unlawfully wounding.
The Recorder sentenced him to twelve months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.
Joseph Metcalfe &dui* and Thomas Heavy Basset were
indicted under the 221st section of the Bankruptcy Act,
for destroying some of the books relating to their business
within three months of their bankruptcy, with intent to
conceal the state of their affairs.
Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. F.e
H. Lewis conducted
the defence.
It appeared that the prisoners traded together as manu-
facturers of boot uppers in Bast-street, Red Lion...pare,
from February, 1566, until April, 1867. On the 4th of
April in the latter year their meditore were called together,
sad on the folloWilnt day they were adjudicated bankrupt.
It was then that there was • deficiency of
3,385/. 6e. 7d., and the property given up realised little
more than 3001. An investigation took plan with
the view of ascertaining how this deficiene/szeeteurred,
and upon the books cf the bankrupts given
up, it was found that the ledger ash-
book for the whole of the year 1866 were not forth-
coming. Two new books were produced, but tbe entries
in these only commenced on the let of January, and in
numerous instances there were alterations hi the haleness
brought forward from the old books. When under exami-
nation at the Bankruptcy Court, Bennett admitted that
he had destroyed the books for 1866, the reason betas that
they contained entries relating to other matters, and that
he thought it better to commence with a new set. In the
coarse of the investigation it was elidted that the books
produced by the bankrupts were purchased so late es the
26th of Febrnary, 1867, and that it was subsequent to that
that the entries were transferred from the old books.
At the onielosion of the evidence for the promenfien,
the case was adjourned till this day (Friday).

GUILDHALL.
During the week twenty-live baggers, including men,
women, and children, were brought before Sir Robert W.
Carden at this court, charged with begging in the streets
of Loudon. Tue majority of then were old offenders, and
some of them inoon %ibis beaus. They were sent for
various terms of imprisonment with Lard labour, and the
money found on them was ordered to be appropriated to
their support while in prison. Several, of - whom very
little was known, were discharged on their promising not
to beg again in the streets. Some of those discharged
were children who be god unkeown to tht ir paroles, and
were given up to them on their undertaking to take
better care of them in future. Among those who were
brought before the magistnee on Tuesday was a man
named John Kidd, who it aepeated wee tot a professional
beggar, and who Lad a wife :itd two children iu Louden
in • state of great destitution, having pledged everything
they bad to provide food before the father took to begging.
lie raid that he was n native of Dethyshire, and was very
desirous of gutting down there with hie wife and children.
Sir Robert W. Carden arectrd Mr. Roe, the excellent and
kind-hearted chief officer of the court, to inquire into their
case, and said if deterring ho would mist them.
Mr. Roe found all the man's statements correct,
and Sir Reheat W. Carden ordered him money
to take their clothes out of pledge, and they
yesterday mon ing appeared in them to thank Sir
Robert for his kindness. Sir Robert then directed that
their fares should be mad down to Derby, end some extra
money to give them a little start there. The poor people's
gratitude was too great fcc words. Another case was that
of a Ureter, who had come up to London to get employ,
but bad received a kick in the side from a horse, and was
unable to work. Ho was in a most deplorable condition,
aid had scarcely any clothes to cover him. He said if he
could get to Liverpool, be would then be able to work his
way to Dublin, and from thence to Cork, where his friends
were. Sir R. W. Cordon ordered a decent suit of
clothes to be furnished him, on his underteking to leave
London and get work. There were likewise three children
brought up,who it appeared were sent out by their parents
to beg, and who teak the money from them as fast es they
rceoiced it. These poor creatures, who were wrttcheelly
clad, and had ':either shoes nor stockings to their feet,
were sent to the union fcr a few days, while Sir Robert
took thy necessary stare to get them into industrial
schools, much to the chagrin of the percuts.

TER SICC POOR AT POPLAR.—Yesterday Dr. I
Markham, one of the Inspectors under the Poor-law
Board, held a protracted investigation at the Poplar
Workhouse, relative to a charge of neglect preferred
against Dr. Henry Stanley Gals, one of the medical officers
of that district. It appeared that on Wednesday, Jan.
painter named George !Addle, got an order from the
relieving officer of Poplar for medical attendance on his
wife, Caroline Liddle, who had then been ill for two days.
The man took the order to Dr. Gale's surgery, and that
gentleman's assistant, Mr. Charles Stocker, 18 years of age,
went to see Mrs. Liddle, and *bed for her. No one
attended the woman 'gain the following Saturday,
when another asalstant, also unqualified, but 23 years of
age, sow her and prescribed for her. On the following
Tuesday the woman died, Dr. Gals not having seen her at
all. Mr. Stocker had treated the deceased for dyspepda,
and Mr. Moore, the other assistest, treated her for bile.
An inquest was held, and Dr. J. Edmunds proved that
the real malady wee straordatod hernia, and that an
operation would have saved the woman's life.
Evidence in rapport of the above fasts having been given,
Dr. Bain deposed that Dr. Gales dietrist was so large that
it was impossible for him to do all the work himself. Sines
Dr. Gale had been suspended witness had the district to
manage, and be found the number of eases 10 large that
he had to employ fear assistants. Dr. R. Stanley Gala
depend that he did not visit the deceased woman, for
alter his amistants' reports he did not consider it an
urgent case. If any one bad told him that Ow deceased
was very ill, he would not have refused to attend. A
Mrs. Panicle celled, but he did not see her.
He understood from Mr. Moore that she had
milled about medicine. In reply to question, Dr.
Gale stated that he bad 400 mese a day to
attend to, and that be saw 20 par cent. of them himself.
The deemed died from hernia sad peritonitis. His sa-
lary was 1061. a year ; but with the " extras" he received
3851. last year, and 811.11. ter an siddeat. He bad to
find the medieine for his podeals, but the guardians pro-
vided red liver oil and quinine. The commissioner mid it
was desirable that this public should know that such
allowances were made ia eddition to Dr. Oale's salary.
