MISS MOWBRAY AND THE LIVERPOOL STEEPLE-
.
CHASE.

Circumstances have come to light from which there is
every reason to believe that this unfortunate animal was
drugged or poisoned just before starting for the Liverpool
Steeplechase, wherein, it will be remembered, she had the
misfortune to meet her death. At half-past one o'clock on
the day of the race her owner, accompanied by two or three
other gentlemen, saw her in the stable, lively as a kitten, but
when
pbroughte her
re
usual
snucal ol sfluir.
ein e_, though looking well in
fact, had no ,‘ go" in
con-
dition, she appeared heavy and dull, aid when mounted,
gp
her. At the request of Mr. Mason, Mr, Lucas, of Liverpool,
analysed the contents of her stomach, after death, when the
intestines, liver, and lungs were found to be in a perfectly
healthy state ; but in the stomach a pint and a half of rod
liquid matter, of a chemical nature, was:discovered, which, it
will be proved, from the place wherein it was secreted, must
have been administered within a. short period of starting for
the race. The stomach and its contents are now in the
hands of Mr. Brett, the celebrated analytical chemist of
Liverpool, for further examination, and upon his report, the
conduct of the case, upon which Mr. Mason is advised by
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., will depend. That it will be fully
investigated the public may :est assured; and it is to be
hoped the guilty parties will not escape detection. For
obvious reasons, however, we cannot at present say more on
the subject than that suspicions attach to the party in whose
charge the mare was sent fa om Mahon, and who, though not
a regular servant of Mr. John Scott's, has for many years
been considered a trustworthy characten—Beles Life.
