noted the &Merida*, ever knows IC6
meeting, the pa turning out in avowals to laWs;;;;
the inauprativa el tbo legitimate racing nesse la the
metropolitan circuit. The Bloom management provided •
monster day's sport, no fewer than seven ileum beina
pointed fir dashes, ilesitmhog ileteeileelel Trial
Stakes, the Two-yam-old Stakes, and the City and Sub-
urban. The weather ass beautifully fins, and there was
an immense attendance. The Prince of Wales and
Prince Mick honoured the sport with their pro-
mace, which was patroalied by the usual aristocratic
followers of the turf. The ring was crowded, and the
minor greed steads won extensively paerontiest. Shaft
the last meeting several impainansists have bop made,
alas having been erected between the stead and Bar-
nard's stand for the clerk of the course. Attached to this
is • room for weighing, • separate room for jockeys,
another (or she stewards and member, of the Jeekey Club,
and a very convenient one for members of the press.
Racing commenced punctually at ball-past on. o'clock with
the Trial Stakes, for whickall the fifteen entered, except-
ing Montapard, Speculum Knight of the Garter, and
Travis* went to the Pest. Spenalum and " the
Kadgist " were bald in reserve far their mere
important engagements in the City and Suburban,
sad Montaptard was drawn Ira In of his
stable companion Montgoubert. Pad Jones warn made the
favourite, as little as 2 to I beinfi
le taken about Mr. Hodg-
man's colt, who won very clever by • head from Philo-
sopher. Huntsman appeared tohave the rase in band at
the distance, but he' cut it" at the stead, and finished
third. Had there been time, Paul Jones would no doubt
have boon backed for the Chester Cap, but isamodiately
lb. bones poised the post speculation on the big headlamp
of the day was resumed, the wretched figure eat by Rabbit
Trap having ne effect upon the position of Thalia. The
Stamford Plate produced no fewer than twestrtem
rumen, and the " talent," elated by their landing on the
Trial, were not loath to take the short odds of 4 to 1 about
Laird of Scotland—a three-year-old in Nightiagall's stable.
Chapel Royal and Patrician were the malt fancied of
the others. The favourite made the whole of the running,
and won vary easily by • couple of length., Patrician
duishing second, a head only in advance of Monarch of the
Glen. Old Warrior—whiter than ern with afiaisbed
the last but one. The Overnight Beaufort 'kess was
contested by fifteen runners. Mr. Headman supplied the
favourite in Fleetwing, 5 to 2 being taken about t- be son of
Buceannaer and Phantom Sail. The Mane was never in
doubt, as Pleetwins made the whale of the running, and
won easily from the Tarragona filly. Mr. Beadessio did
not seem disposed to part with his filly, as he bought her
in for 450 guineas, leaving .5.50 to be divided be-
Linen Captain Machell and the race fund, her
entered selling pries being 1001. The City and
Suburban came next for decision, but the delay
which bad taken plea, in the previous races canoed it I
to be fully three-quarters of an hour behind the s, pointed
time before the competitors reached the post. Theta were
27 runners, the most notable of the absentees being
Honestish, Grey Stocking, Ravioli, and Canes. The
French filly, Senses, on whom Hun table bad his first
mount for Count Lagrange, Oriersbaw being unable to
reduce himself to the required weight, left off the from. I
rite se 6to 1. A point more was taken about Thalia, who
was ridden by Maidment. Stradbroke, on whom little
Wyatt seemed lost, was in fair demand at 10 to 1, whilst
11 to 1 was taken about Chelsea, and 12 to 1 about
Speculum. Those odds were also accepted in favour of
knight of the Garter and the three-year-old Milton.
As • lengthened description of the ran will be found
below, it is needless here to refer to it other than in brief
terms. Speculum, who lay off till fairly in the straight,
then came away and won in a common canter by One
lengths from Abergeldie. Challoner rode the latter, and
just succeeded in beating Knight of tbe Garter and Cu..
tame • head fur second place. With all his weight the
" Knight " defeated the whole of the favourite., some of
whom out up very badly. Noma was "init " till the
straight, when she dropped back beaten, and finished just
in rear of Blinkhoolie, who was fifth. Thalia never showed
prominently in the nee, and • similar remark applies to
Stsadbroke, who died away when Wyatt milled on
him for an effort. Chelsea ran indifferently, and
the much-vaunted Milton finished last but out. Of the
extreme outsiders, Lady Rosehill ran the most promi-
nently, finishing fourth, beating Kettlebolder and the
Anita colt a long way. The winner was most patiently
ridden by Cameron, who has now won both • "City sad
Sob." and a " Great Metrop.," having rialtos Timasmo
Trove for the latter evens. Speculum was at one am. the
favourite for the City and Suburbxn, but ha retired from
the quotations during the Warwick week, when other
animals were put up. The Duke of New-
castle wins • good stake, and those connected with
the sable throw in for considerable amounts.
Not fewer than • score of juveniles turned out to compete
for a rather valuable two-yr-old stakes, and the winner,
at soon es the numbers were telegraphed, was spotted by
the tiient in Mr. Joseph Dowson's Be \rem, a Lincoln
winner, although the From% division beaked Count
Lagranp's and M. Auraont's pair pretty freely at the
prices current ; but the result was never for • moment
in doubt, as when French gave the sea of St. Albans his
head the colt came away and cantered in a winner
by throe lengths. The United Stakes,
run in the dusk, produced a done, the
second favourite, Sir Oliver, about whom 100 to 30 was
bested, landing a winner by three-parts et a length, whilst
the favourite, tie Tarragona filly, only secured fiftdi position.
The programme was not quite got throu6, the Heathoote
Plate remaining for decision ; but as darkness was fast
in the stewards held • consultation as to the de-
fy of postponing this mos till next day. and even-
tually it was announced that the Plate would not be run
for, but that business would be opened earlier oa Wednes-

the whole of the day in trying two intupleader aesiosy
the details of which were of no interest to the public.

(Bthee Kr. Justice Bybee.) -
John Williamson, 35, was charged with obtaining 501.
from William Catforth Lae by fah. pretenees.

Kr4=proseou‘sd, and the prisoner was defended by
It appeareda'fiens the evidence of the prosecutor that in
eensequene• of an advertisement in the Daily Telegraph,
he was iatmettoed to the prisoner, who appeared to be
oszrying on the bailees. of • corn dealer, and be repre-
sented that he wee in a large way of businese, and wanted
sews person to attend the country markets for him, and
sell and purchase corn and hay, and other articles of that
description. He proposed te giro him 30s. per week,
and he was also to have half of the profit derived
from the business that be might do, but the prisoner
required hint to hand over a sum of 50/. as security
for the faithful discharge of his doty. The prosecutor
demurred to this, and proposed to give him security or
to plum the money at • banker's, but the prisoner ia-
slated upon having the money placed in hb bands ;
the prosecutor gave him the amount, sad be was then
employed to attend at different markets, but he found
that he could not do any business, and after • month had
elapsed he found the prisoner in the Bankruptcy Court,
and all the money that he was paid in the shape of wages
only amounted to about 5/.
Kr. Justice Byline, at the close of the evidence of the
prosecutor, inquired et the counsel for the prognostics
what false pretence be relied upon to rapport the in-
dictment

Lllley said that what be relied u;:on was that the
prisoner repraiested that he was on • large busi-
ness and required the services of t prosecutor ; that
this statement was imatirely false, and was merely a 'risk
to induce the latter to part with his money.
Mr. Justice Byles said he was of opinion that this would
not amount to a false pretence such as would support an
indictment like the present. It was extremely important
that the distinction between the civil and the criminal law
should be kept up, but if such es idenoe as bad been given
in this case was to be held sufficient to support • charge of
obtaining receety by false pretences, the Melina law might
be resorted to in every instance where misrepresentations
with regard to the value of a business were made by the
owner of it. The law provided • civil remedy in sash
matters, and he was of spiel.= that the criminal law
ought not to be put in force in such • cam.
The jury, therefore, under his lordship's direction,
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Thera was • second indictment against the prisoner for
obtaining another sum of 501. from • person named Edward
Mr. Lilley said that the facts of this case were precisely
the same as the last, but after the intimation that bad
been given by his lordship be should not offer any
evidence in support of the indictment.
Mr. Justice Bylee said that the conduct of the.piisoner
bad, no doubt, been most repreheasible, but, in his
opinion, he had not committed any criminal offence.
The jury then again returned • verdict of Not Guilty,
and the prisoner was discharged.
It is expected that the criminal business will be con-
cluded early to-day (Wednesday), and Mr. Justice Bytes
will then assist the Chief Justice in disposing of the cause
list, and all parties who have causes entered should be
prepared to try them, or they will very probably be struck
out. The special jury causes will be taken on Thursday.

THAMES.

Darid Lester, a journeyman butcher, employed in the
People's Market, Whitechapel-road, was brought before
Mr. Benson charged with inciting and endeavouring to
persuade William Charles Norris, a youth, to commit •
felony.
Mr. John WCall, the proprietor of the People's Market,
272, Whitechapel-road, explained the mode of carrying on
business there. One t croon was the seller, another took
the order, and • third entered the article sold and the money
paid for it in • book. The prisoner was a seller. He sold a
shoulder of mutton for aid. per lb., end it weighed 6jlbs.
The pries was 3a. 90., but the purchaser would not pay
the odd halfpenny, and be carried It away for 3s. 9d.
When the mutton was sold, the weigher, whose duty it
was to weigh it and take the money, waa absent at his
dinner, and the prisoner ssid to Norris " Never mind
booking it, we can divide the money when we go out."
Norris declined acceding to the prisoner's request, and
subsequently had an interview with Mr. Weill, and made
known to him the proposition of the accused who was
forthwith given into custody. It was considered necessary
to make an example of the prisoner, owing to the many
servant, employed in the market.
The prisoner denied having solicited Norris to rob his
employer. and said the charge was got up against him
from motives of spite, because he reported Norris for mis-
conduct • fortnight ago for throwing lumps of fat at him.
Norris said be was not lammed by anything but good
feeling towards the prisoner...
The prisoner then cram-examined Norris, and the facts
came out stronger against him. He had made a proposition
to the youth on • former day in a poblie-house not to book
a joint of meat, and to divide the money paid for it
between them.

Mr. Beason the prisoner for trial.
JAR Tricker, a sheriff's oftloar, in the service of Mr.
Levy, a Jew, seder whose authonty he is acting, and who
washailed on Monday, surrendered before Mr. Benson to
answer a charge of rtealMg a gold watch value 141. from
the person of Mr. Louis Lazarus, a commercial traveller,
of No. 33, Dempsey-stoat, Stepney. It will be recollected
that the prisoner woe a sheriff's officer, and that he had a
writ of ff. fa , or warrant, to mire the goods of Mr. Lazarus
for a debt and costs amounting to 61. On entering the
hense he snatched the uter's watch, and with such
force that the swivel broke.

--Mr. Bensonstopped tle ass, sad said it was not •
felony. There was no doubt the prisoner, before he stated
who he was, or what business he was upon, seised the
prosecutor's watch, and his conduct, to say the least of it,
was moot unjustifiable and improper. The ease would be an
interesting one to try in another court. The prisoner was
armed with a warrant, and had a right to go to the
house, and it appeared that what he did was under an
assumed colourable right, and that he afterwards said that
be was a sheriff's °Meer, waited in the parlour until • wa-
dable arrived, and made no effort to escape. He thought
it useless to commit the prisoner for trial after what bad
been done by • grand jury of Middlesex in another ease
like this, where considerable violence was used. Two men
went to the office of 'bankrupt under the directions of a
trade ee, and while one held the bankrupt the odor
forl6l of from his pockets a large sum money.
Ifr.ll7harles Young prosecuted is that oase, sad
he adopted the same Has of argument as Mr. Pennon
had done in this, but the grand jury *mired the bill.
Sir Thomas Henry, the chief magistrate, sold in a recent
sue before him that magistrates ought not to set them-
selves in opposition to the grand tcries. This was a very
proper ease for investigation, and he bad no hesitation in
saying that upon the ease set up for the prosecution the
prisoner had been guilty of flagrant misconduct, but after
the opinion of the mad jury he should not commit the
prisoner for felony, and he was discharged.
Mr. Smith asked for the restoration of the watch to his
client. It was in the heeds of the police.
verUr.stro Benson—l shall make no My opinion is •
y oLO:e.
Mr. J. mid the gold watch had been already
restored to the prosecutor, and he advised him to keep it.
CM'S summonses for same& were then applied to, by
each party, and granted.
