Thre was a fairly minimum muster of member', this afternoon,
and the tnusenetions, if not individually heavy, took a somewhat
wide range- For the lloodwood Makin Comers proved in great
nouis4, and, after 7 to 2 hwl lien obtaini.4l with onion difficulty,
tio to 30 was oneasionally aocepted ; but these odds were forth-
coming from several quarters to the dose. TabounA had a large
number of friends, who took all the 10's to 1 that oould be got,
and ultimately 9 to 1 ma booked. Emote also looked healthy at
about the same price; the amounts, however, invested in his
favour were limited. For some time the highort offer against
Cannon Ball waqloo W 8, which was now and theq taken, but
just towards the tffindi one speculator laid IS to 1 to about £6O.
The other in the none stable, Lucifer, met at the same time
with auletantial airport, 70 to 1 being accepted to good money,
while the two coupled were lacked at 7 to 1. Romping Oirl, after
Bing supported at 600 to 36, was laid egst at 1000 toile and 600 to3o.
Then followed offers against various harem, and the only one
about whom actual business was done was Kidderminster, who
was barked to win about £6,000 at 33 to 1, but his rsaition was
not improved thereby, as the odds mentioned were persistently
offered throughout. Some good Dominos+ was tom:acted on the
Goodwood Cup, Blinkhoolie at S to 1, and Speculum at 0 to 2,
waning in for corrode able support ; no more than 4 to 1 was
offered against Julius, and on these three •• mixed" MO to WO
was laid. Suffolk was a good deal inquired after and found
frienels at 1000 to 8) and WO to 8, while Priponnier, after going
through • variety of changes from 10 to 1 to 100 to 6, ftally
fettled down at 14 to 1. For the St. Leger The Earl was in great
demand at S to 1 taken freely, and one gentleman offered
to acapt 550 to 900, but layers would not advance beyond 5 W 2,
and at this figure some IWO were invested. Formosa and King
Alfred were equally fancied at to 1, but the baron's horse had,
Perhaps, the amount inverted in his favour ; 40
were taken abou Athena, but Lady Elisabeth was in suernibaeii
odes that one apeculsor, endeavouring all the afternoon to lay
500 to 10 wainst her, could not snowed in his object. The Derby
was scarcely mentioned ; 1,000 to 813 was booked once in favour
of Bel liulrum, and the same price was offered against Ryaliworth ;
at 13 to 1 each would have been well supported. Prices as follow.:

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—LEICESTEtt, 31tLY 13.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
Thomas &urgers Frisby, 21, shoe-nailer, was charged
with attempting to murder Thomas Frisby. on the I 2th Mxy.
Serjeant Tozer and Mr. It. 11. Palmer appeared for the
prosecution ; Mr. Jacques defended the prisoner.
The case excited some interest in the town, the prisoner
being the son of the prosecutor. From the evidence it
appeared that the prisoner was; diachargel from the army
last year and came to live at home with his intent%
Soon after his conduct became so unsteady that his
father and he t epeatedly quarrelled, and eventually the eon
left his home and took lodgings at the house of a man
named Leatherland. On the night of the 12th May pri-
soner was proved to have purchased ammunition, and was
afteiwaide seen by Leatherland's wife in possession of a
pistol, avowing his intention to shoot his father. The
mother proved that between 9 and 10 o'clock the name
night the prisoner called at his house and asked to see his
father. She refused to let him, as he was intoxicated at
the time, but he pushed her on one side, and went through
into the room where his father wee. Directly after
she heard the report of firearms, and on going into the
room found the prosecutor bleeding profusely from a
wound in his head. The surgeon spoke as to the nature
of the wounds,which had been caused by large shot, and to
the fact that for some time the life of the prosecutor was
in danger. The prisoner, on beinjg taken into custody,
asked if the old man had kicked out yet, and being told
no, said, "It is time he had then."
For the defence, Mr. Jacques submitted that it was a
question of intention, and that with regard to that, the
fact of the prisoner's drunkenese must be taken into con-
sideration.

The learned Judge having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Gawlty on the minor count
of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and
be was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.

CHARGB OF TRKASON-FELONY.

At Bow-street Police-court, yesterday, before
Mr. Vaughan, two young men, James Williamson, of
Clarendon-street, Somers-town, wheelwright, and John
Blake, of Vere-street, Islington, clerk, were brought up in
custody of Mr. Williamson, chief inspector of the detoe-
tive force, upon a charge of treason-felony.
Mr. Poland, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Pollard, of
the Treasury solicitor's of conducted the prosecution,
mid Mr. Merriman, solicitor, defended.
Mr. Poland having briefly opened the case, called
George Clarke, who said—l am 1111 inspector of detective
police. On Saturday last I was in the Old Jewry, about
12 o'clock, and in consequence of some information whissli
I received from the police I went, a few minutes after 12,
to a dining-house and public-house known as Hid Lord-
ship's Larder. I went inside, and found the two prisoners
there in conversation with two or three others. I remained
a few minutes, when they left. I followed them to the cor-
ner of Cheapaide. I touched Williamson on the arm, and
said, "I wish to have some conversation with you."
Blake was with him then. lie turned round, and said,
"Who are you 'r" I said, "I am an inspector of petit*.
I believe your name is Cooke I'. He said, "My name is
not Cooke. What do you want I said, I have
a charge against a man of the name of James Cooke. 1
believe you are the man I want. I shall taker you to tho
elation." Be again said, "My name is not ssoke." I
then directed Sergeant Sannaway to take him to the sta-
tion, which he did. I turned to the other prisoner, Blake,
who had been standing by during the conversation,
and directed Sergeant Micklejoha to take him to the
station. lie said, " What charge have you against
me r I said, "I will explain to you at the
station." They were both taken to Bow-lane station,
where I detained them tilll got a cab and conveyed them
to Scotland-yard. At Scotland-yard I said to Williamson,
" I believe your name is Cooke—James Cooke, whom I
have • charge against." He said, " No, my name is
Williamson." I said, ' You will he detained, and must
submit to be searched." So I searched him. Before I
did so I said, " Your name ir' He said, " James Wil-
liamson." I said, " Your address?' He said, " I have
no address • I have only arrived in London to-day." I
searched him, and found on him a watch and chain,
some money, and • pocket-book containing papers which
I have not looked over yet, as I have not had time. I
then turned to Blake, and said, " Your name's" He
said, " John Blake." I said, " Your address He
said, " 42, Noel-street, Islington." I found nothing
on him of any importance. I afterwards went to the
address he had given—the first room on the top floor,
being directed thereby a person whom I believed to be his
mother. I had asked her for her son John's room. I
searched the room and found a variety of papera, some
bearing his name, and a revolver of I think six chamberd.
They are all at Scotland-yard. I also searched the front par-
lour at 47, Clarendon-street, Somers-town. There I found
several letters and papers, and an envelope addressed
" John Blake, 42, Wool-street," a six-chamber revolver
loaded, and a tin case containing about • quarter of a
cwt. of ammunition. I had often seen Blake before, but
not at the address I have mentioned.
