SPORTING NOTE'S.

MALenaerrielts OR Tin Tulte.—At a meeting of
the Jockey Club to be held on Monday next the stewards
will propose the following resolutions :—" Whereas it is
expedient that the rules of racing which prohibit defaulters
for stakes and forfeits from entering or running horses
should extend to defaulters for bets, and to all persons
guilty of malpractices on the turf, it is resolved that no
person convicted of any fraudulent practices on the turf,
and no person that has been reported by the committee of
the Subscription-rooms at Newmarket or at Mears. Tat-
terriall's as being a defaulter in bets, shall be permittefi to
name, enter, or run, either in his own name or in that of
any other person, any horse of which he is either wholly,
or in part owner, for any race whatever." It is also pro.-
posed to add the following as a rule of the Jockey Olds :
—" If any member of the Jockey Club, or of
the New Rooms or Coffee-mom at Newmarket
should appear in the published Forfeit List as a
defaulter for stakes or forfeits, or be reported by the
committee of the Subscription-rooms at Newmarket or at
Messrs. Tattersall's, as being a defaulter for bets lost an
horse-racing, the stewards shall cause notice to be sent to
him that if his default be not cleared by a time to be
stated in the said notice his name will be erased
from the list of members ; and if a member of
any of these clubs should be convicted of fraudu-
lent practices on the turf, he stud' cease to be a member,"
The Earl of Zetland has given notice of his intention to
move, after the words "practices on the Turf," to add
the words "or if any person that shall hereafter become
a member of the Jockey Club shall compound with his
creditors." It will also be proposed by the stewards that
Rule 10 of the Jockey Club, which precludes the stewards
from taking cognisance of any disputes or claims with
respect to bets shall be so modified as to enable them to
act when it appears to them that the interests of the Turf
requiretheir mterference.
The Sporting Life says that the winnings of The Earl
amount altogether to over 10,0001. Last year he won
12085/. ; previous to this week he picked up 1,2871. ; and
lance Sunday he has made the grand haul of 7,97ol.—mak-
ing altogether 10,4421. He was originally bought by the
Marquis of Hastings at the Hampton Court sale of year-
lings for 450 guineas, and has thus reimbursed his purchase
by nearly 10,0001.
The Sportnnon is glad to hear that Lord Wilton, who,
it was stated, had been struck with apoplexy at Ascot, is
not nearly so ill as it was at first feared.

STRANGE CHABOR AGAINST TWO OFFICERS
OF THE GUARDS.

Colonel Lake, C. 8., Chief Commissioner of the
Dublin Police, held an investigation yesterday (Thursday)
at the Chief Commissioner's-office, Lower Castle-yard, for
the purpose of ascertaining the circumstances of a charge
brought against the Hon. Colonel Stanley and the Hon.
Lieutenant Villiers. Grenadier Guards, by two police-
constables named Tierney, R 2 E, and Haddock, 133 E.
It apyenred from the statement of the constables that
whilst on duty at Haddington-road, between
1 and 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning, their
attention was attracted by two dogs which were fighting
on the road, one of them belonging to Lieutenant Villiers.
The constables attempted to prevent the tight, when the
officers came up and accused them of having caused it.
The constables denied the charge, and Colonel Stanley
then demanded their numberx which they gave ver-
bally, but the officer asked them in writing. This
the constables also did, at the same time walking with
the officers in the direction of Beggar's Buah Barracks. On
coming near the barrack gate, ono of the officers called to
the guard to turn out, which they did, and by the direction
of the officers the two constables were taken into custody
for being intoxicated. The constables were conveyed into
the guard-room, and a despatch sent to the inspector at
the Iriehtown police-station, desiring him to send up a
party of constables to take the two constables into custody
on the charge of being drank. Whilst waiting far the
arrival of the inspector and his men, the constables allege
that when one of them took out his watch in order to as-
certain accurately the time at which they entered the
a soldier matched the watch out of his hand,
and in • so he broke the guard chain, and the watch
was banded to some other sower Eventually, the Oasts-
-I:flesteritsaitths? whole guard assaulted them repeatedly, and
them out of the barrack gate into the
road, where one of them received a severe wound on the
knee, whilst both received several contusions. They then
proceeded to the station-house to report the transaction, but
on the way they met the inspector and his men coming to
look for them. Having told the ins tor the charge and
its origin, he returned to the barrack with them and suc-
ceeded in procuring the names of the two officers who had
made the charge. The constables further stated that they
were prepared to prove that they were both quite sober
at the time of the occurrence. One of the constables was
so severely. injured from the effects of the alleged ill-
treatment m the guard-room, that he has since been
under medical treatment. In the evening Colonel Lake
proceeded to Beggar's Bush Barracks, in order to have
the matter thoroughly inquired into, and a satisfactory
explanation given. The result of the inquiry has not
transpired.— bile Awn*, Nail.
