violent blow on the head. The constable came up imme-
diately after, and the prisoner on being remonstrated
with turnedupon the officer and struck him several very
severe blows in the chest, and afterwards kicked him.
He was, however, eventually secured, and, with the as-
sistance of another policeman, safely lodged in the station.
The prisoner, who is a strong stalwart fellow, and has
been before the magistrates on several occasions for simi-
lar offences, admitted he was too drunk to know what
he was doing, and was therefore fined 10s.; or, in de-
fault, 14 days' imprisonment.

DONCASTER MEETING.
SUBSCRIPTION Room, MONDAY NIGHT.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, SErT. 1.

Subscribers dropped in in quick succession, and, after
the arrival of the express train from London, the room
was densely crowded. Business, however, was not con-
ducted with marked activity. Several books were opened
on the Cesarewitch, and, as will be seen from the ap-
pended list of quotations, many horses were brought
into prominent notice. The movement with respect to
the St. Leger showed Rifleman to be in increased force.
Early in the evening 6 to 4 was taken about him, but
towards the close these odds were currently offered.
Oulston retrograded to 4to 1 offered. The latest prices

.•
From the statement of the landlady, it appeared that
she had taken the prisoner into her service without the
usual precaution of inquiring into her character, the girl
having represented that she lived at a neighbour's.
For the first week she conducted herself in a
most satisfactory manner ; but by the end of the
second week suspicion was directed against her, in con-
sequence of the gradual disappearance of sundry coun-
terpanes, blankets, petticoats, towels, &c., from the bed-
rooms upstairs. She was not detected, however, in
removing any of the things, and the first intimation of
her guilt was given by a woman in whose house the pri-
soner had taken a room, evidently for the purpose of
stowing away her master's property. This woman
received a bundle from the prisoner one evening, which
she had the curiosity to open. She then saw in a minute
that the contents belonged to Mr. Keck, whose name
was marked upon the sheets and other articles in the
bundle. Daring the night the woman communicated
what she bad discovered to her husband, who jumped
out of bed, dressed himself, proceeded direct to the pro-
secutors, and gave him the information, upon which the
girl was given into custody. It was then found that
she had almost stripped the bed-rooms, her apartment
being half full of the stolen property.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to
three months' imprisonment.
