This race WU run in a very heavy shower of rain, and to
cause it to be the more unpleasant, a long and tedious delay
at the poet ensued, through the fractiousness and breaking

for about a quarter of • mile, having Suburban, Sporting
Life, Sawcutter, Knight of St. Patrick, and Sir Hugh in
clone attendance upon him. Soon after rising the hill, both
Cosnaopollte and Sporting Life were beaten, and fell hack.
Suburban and Knight of SL Patrick then came on with the
lead, with Weatherbound in the fourth place. When oppo-
sith the distance post Suburban was unmistakeably swerved
against by the Knight of at,.. Patrick, and thus deprived of
coming through and wizusing. When the ball (Es-

unanimously decided that the race must be awarded to

Y.C.C. AND GROUND AGAINST 8917:111 WALES.

This match was brought to a conclusion yesterday
at Lord's, in favour of South Wales, by 7 wicket& Score :

THE CASE OP THE BARON DE VIDIL.
--•--

[Tire following appeared in the greater port of oar yes-
terday's impression]:

Yestenlay afternoon large crowds of people
assembled in front of Bow-street station for the purpose
of catch;og a glimpse of the Baron de Vidil and his son.
The Baron was brought to the court by Inspeclot
Thornton and Sergeant Williamson, and was placed in the
dock shortly after three o'clock.

ac the bench were Mr. Gaakall, M.P., Sir Chas. Aldis,
and seVeral county magistrates. Mr. Corde was the pre-
ildiog

hillock appeared, as before, for the prosecution ;
Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge defended the pridoner.
Mr. Sleigh (addressing the magistrate) said he regretted
that the effect of the arrangement which was entered into
at the last meeting bad been ineffectual in altering the
determination of the young man (Mr. A. J. de Vida) not
to give evidence. Of course it would be not only uselees
but impertinent in hint to say anything about the course
the magistrate would think it nederary to adopt.
Mr. Pollock mid that, under the circumstances, he and
Mr. Ellis, who instructed hint, were no longer in the posi-
tion of being prosecutors in this case. It was not for him
to suggest what course the magistrate would take. The
ease must now take its course in the ordinary way.
Mr. Cowie—Have you any other witnessed'?
Mr. Pollock—We are no longer prosecutors ; we retire
from , the case, which is now in the bands of the
marmitm ..lespector Thorntou, addressing the magistrate, *id
am directed by Sir Richard Mayne to say that, as the
preeseetson bee withdraire, he trusts your worship will pro-
And aftli 'Fe an Tpblioe '
Mr. Sleig' N—Perhale, sir, du will anon. me to say one
Word. Having heard what : Pollock has said, I trust
that, having referent's to the unhappy nature of this trans-
action, the suggestion I ant about to offer will meet your
sanction as magistrate, especially as I understand it will not
meet. with anything like opposition from my learned friend
—if, without making any unnesessary remarks, but relying
upon what must be uppermost in your own mind, I hope
you may feel that the ends of; justice will be answered by
the Baron de Vidil entering into his own sureties to keep
the peace towards his son. (Hisses in court).
Mr., Corrie—l f there are any manifestations of feeling on
one aide or the otller I will clear the court of fill who have
not business here.

Mr. Sleigh—l am vary sorry that there should have been
such a manifestation, I cannot help thinking that
what has occurred between the father and the son in this
case must have made a very deep impression upon all who
have heard the detail! of this very lamentable case. I
knit the term I made use of on a former occasion, and
which 1 may appropriately repeat, that this in most ex-
ceptioual, may induce you to take the view 1 suggest. I
most sincerely and fervently hope that you may be induced
to accept it.
Mr. Pollock said that, as far as he was concerned, lie was
not unwilling that the proposition should be accepted, as he
had withdrawn from the prosecution. The gentlemen who
had iustruated him had no other desire except that the
honour, truth and safety of the young man, whose intereste
they had raided, should be protected.
expressed a hops that Mr. Pollock's candid
statement would weigh with the magistrate in his considera-
tion of the application he bad made.
Mr. Come—Let Mr. Alfred de Vidil be placed in the
witness-box.

ilr. r..f de Vidd was placed in the box. He looted
much better thaw when be was last before the court.

Mr. Gerrie (addressing him)—Sioos you were here the
other day you have had an opportunity of reflecting upon
what I said to you, and of consulting your blends upon
what is your duty in Wistaria. Are we to understand that
you still refuse to give evidence in this case !
Mr. de Vidil—Yes, sir.
Mr. Corrie—Very well. (After thinking upon the mat-
ter for some moments, while the court preserved • strict
silence, he proceeded)—This inquiry is certainly a most
important one, and one of great difficulty. The clue is Im-
portant on several grounds. The prisoner is charged with
one of the most heinous crimes that could be committed.
I have received information from the young man dow
in the box ; and that information is, to a certain extent,
confirmed by the depositions lying before me, and which
have come to me in due course from other magistrates.
Now if that information, which has been given me tin-
vately, were repeated before the prisoner, I probably might
feel it to be my duty to send the prisoner for trial Itej at
this stage of the proceedings the cause of justice is apts-
reutly frustrated by the young Man in the box' expelling

circumstances, Mr. Polio* has adopted the not unnatural
course of retiring iron, the prosecution. Now if this course
is successfully adopted, that witnesses refusing to give
evidence when called is to form • precedent to be atter-
w.,r,L, followed, it may happen that the example may find
imitators with motives far less pure than those which
actuate the young man now before us. If he can do
it, others will do it. The question is, what course
I am to take. It has been intimated to me by Mr.
Thmolon that the police will carry on the prosecution.
In this country, as a rule, there is no public prosecutor. The
law leaves it, too much probably, in the hands of an injured
party, who is allowed to act in the name of the Queen, to
carry on prosecutions such as these. Cases do occur on ac-
count of didiculties, in which the executive authority inter-
feres, and I think of all cases—if there ever was allowed to
be atoos in which the executive ought to interfere—this
is such • case. I shall oonsider it my duty to communicate
with the Secretary of State, leaving it to Win to take what
course he pleases. I don't think 1 ought to suggest any
course. I ought not Lobe the prosecutor and magistrate, for
I think the magistrate ought to be free and unfettered until
all the evidence is before him. I shall therefore remand
the prisoner until Monday next, in order to ascertain what
course the Secretary of State will determine upon
the matter—whether he will take up the prosecu-
tion. The only thing I have been besitetiog about is
whether I ought to take any steps with regard to the young
, new who refuses to do what this law soya he ought to do.
If I could in any way be secured of the attendance of this
young man in future—supposing the crown determine, to
furry on the prosecution—l might allow him to go to his
friends, as he has gone before.
Mr. de Vidil —1 will mtend, sir, whenever you please;
but if I were sworn that would be no guarantee that I
should speak the truth.
Mr. Corrie—All I require at present is that you should
•PPett•
Mr. de Vidil—l will.

Mr. Cowie—Then, Mr. Sleigh, I must decline your re-
quest, and remand the prisoner until Monday. By that time
we shall know whether anyone will appear 514 prosecutor.
Mr. Parker, an uncle of young Mr. de Vidil, said it was
a mistake to suppose that the relatives had retired from
the prosecution. They had not retired from the prosecution,
nor were they prosecutors.
Mr. Currie-1 do not wish to eater into details, All the
rest must remain with the executive. Mr. de Vidil must be
bound over in his own surety of I,OOW. to be here at the
adjourned inquiry at three o'clock next Monday.
Mr. de that on condition that I give evidence in
theaise _ .

; simply that you attend here at
that time.

Mr. De % tdil wan then hound over, and the Baron do
Vidil, who during the whole of the proceodings bad buried
his face in his hands, was removed from the dock.
There was a great crowd outside during/ the whole of the
proceedinga, but on account of the excellent arrangements
enforced by Mr. Superintendent Durkin, all who had boat.
nem in the court were amply accommodated.

Tun FATAL AFFRAY IN NORT II UM BERLAND-
/3111E477%-M r. Superintendent Durkin and Inspector
Mackenzie were engaged the whole of yesterday morning in
collecting the evidence necessary to be adduced before the
coroner at the inquest on the bodyof Mr. Roberts, which will
take place either to-day or Monday, but root probably the
latter day win be fixed, as Mr. Longhorn, the deputy
coroner for Westminster, who is now holding the inquests
is the absence of Mr. St. Claw Bedford, had not been
officially informed of the death of Mr. Roberta until a late
period of the day, and it will be necessary that an order for
a post-mortem examination be made. Major Murray
adheres to his former statement as to the nature of the
' meeting and the encounter that took place. The body of
Mr. Iliiherts is lying in one of the lower room. of the
'wapiti], and now that the bandages are removed the bead
pre....nts n mast frightful appearance, them being no fewer
than fourteen distinct scalp wounds, besides the fracture to
the skull and the left cheek bone. The wound under the
left ear presenta a fearful gash, and ie two-thirds of an inch
deep ; one wound on the bead would, from its extent, appear
to have been repeatedly struck ; altogether, a more tearful
appearance ran ocarcay be imagined, and it is only mar-
vellous he should have lived so long.

CHILD MURDER AT COLCH itil.—Yeßterdlly, an
inquest was held at the Town-hall, Colclic.ter, before Mr.
Churchill, borough coroner, upon the lenly of a temple
child, three months old, which was discovered in the river,
as already reported, near the town, and which doubtless
had been murdered. Every effort has been mule to trace
the perpetrator of the murder, but at prment without suc-
cess. The jury returned ► verdict of "Wilful murder"
against some person unknown.
