Y.
theOßNoySaAl paT TIRThe annual sale of her Majesty's yearlings took place at
d dpo cAk Hampton Court, on Saturday last.
The weather was very fine, and the event brought together
many noblemen and gentlemen, and an unusual namber of
turf habitues, including owners of horses, trainers, &c. As
will be seen by the subjoined list of prices, the gross
amount fOr the 24 Royal yearlings sold was 6,626 ;uineas,
making an average of 276 guineas each—a larger slim than
the produce of the stud has realised for many years. One
filly was sold for the unprecedented sum of 1,250 guineas,
but although she is a big one, the price was considered by
most good judges to be in excess of her value. She hid

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord
Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Ringed° wm.)
YELVERTON V. LONGWO4TH (OR YELVERTON).
This appeal case was continued this morning. Long
before the doors were opened a large crowd of persons had
assembled, a large majority of them being ladies, who were
actuated by curiosity, so that all the space appropriated to
strangers was very soon occupied. Several members of the
House of Commons occupied seats in the gallery, The
respondent was in one of the side seats with two other
ladies, but, as she sat on a hassock, she could only be seen
by a few persons,
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., who on a pravious day called attention
to the positior of the parties, and the manner in which they
became acquainted, together with a history of the various
law proceedings which have taken place, proceeded this
morning to read lengthened extracts from the evidence bear-
ing upon the case of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the appel-
lant, with a view to show that the lady had anted impro-
perly in her early connection with the appellant.
Lord Chelmsford could hardly see how that evidence,
supposing it were all true, affected the marriage.
The Lord Chancellor concurred in the opinion that it was
useless to trouble their lordships with such matters.
Mr. Rolt could not argue that point at present, but
thought it might be found to throw some light on subse-
quent stages of the matter. He would now proceed to ad-
vert to the correspondence which had passed between the
parties, contending that, as the judgment of the court below,
and which was against Major Yelverton, was founded upon
that correspondence, it was of the greatest possible import-
ance to his client, and that must be his apology for intrud-
ing it upon their lordships at some length,
Shortly after 12 o'clock it was evident that Mrs, Yel-
verton was becoming unwell, and she was removed from
the house. In the course of a few minutes afterwards she
made her appearance in the Reporter's Gallery, being
escorted by one of her counsel, and accompanied by her
two lady friends, The news soon spread, and several mem-
bers of the House of Commons came up to the side galleries
to catch a glimpse of the lady who has attracted so much
notoriety, She is a person rather above the ordinary
stature, of pleasing features, and very fair complexion.
She wore a light silk dress and a light silk bonnet trimmed
with velvet ribbon.

Mr Roll proceeded at great length to read extracts from
the lady's letters, and said there were some passages which
he would not read, but he would request their lordships to
read them. Some of them were in Italian, and he agreed
with the Lord Ordinary that it was almost impossible for
the lady to have been acquainted with the nature of many
of the expressions she used, some of those expressions
being capable of bearing the most filthy interpretation. He
pointed out other passages in English, in which the lady
had expressed pity that persons about to contract marriage
could not go on trial. Such remarks, he contended, were
entirely inconsistent with all honourable courtship.
The learned counsel was proceeding with his address
when our report left.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court com-
menced this morning before the Common Sergeant, Alder-
man Sir R. Carden, Sir G. Moon, Phillips, and Lusk, and
the Sheriffs.
There are 83 prisoners for trial, but the greater portion
of the charges are of the ordinary character.

One of the gentlemen summoned on the grand jury
objected to serve on the ground that he had conscientious
objections to taking an oath.

In reply to Sir_ R. Carden, the jurcr said he knew he
could not claim exemption, but if excused he knew it would
only be as a matter of favour.

Sir 11. Carden asked what course he would pursue
supposing he should be obliged to bring an action against
any one.

• The gentleman replied that he always settled any dispute
of that nature without going to law. He should not take
the oath under any consideration.
Sir H. Carden observed that if he were a witness in a case
of murder, he would be compelled to give his evidence, or
else ho would be committed.

The gentleman said he had no desire to evade the per.
formance of his public duty, and he had on various occa.
sions been excused from taking the oath.

Sir R. Carden said that if such claims as the present
were to be frequent great difficulty would arise. They
were, however, very rare, and under the circumstances he
Would admit the excuse.

Another juror was then sworn, and the grand jury coin-
pleted.

The Common Sergeant, in his charge, said he was happy
to inform them that there were not more persona for trial
than would have been expected, considering that the inter-
val of five weeks had elapsed since the last session. Ile
was glad to be able to state that from having for the past
few years watched the state of crime, this showed a very
satistactary state of things, and that, taking into considera-
tion the very great increase in the population, and a like
increase in property, and the consequent increase in tempta-
tion, criminal offences did not increase in the like proper-
, Lion; indeed, as regarded juvenile offenders, the number
during the last three or four years had decreased at least two-
thirds, which could be accounted for by the exertions which
were being made by philanthropists in taking charge of aban-
doned children. He was sorry to see, however, that five of
the charges involved the loss of life, and one assumed the
more serious charge of murder, and the other four for Cie
milder offence of manslaughter; and he could not help
noticing with regret, that this, as usual in most cases of
violence that came before the Court, resulted from the
effects of drink. With regard to the case of murder the
prisoner and the deceased had had a quarrel in a public
hoase, and deceased went up to the prisoner in a fighting
attitude, but it did not appear whether or not he struck
him, However,
_the prisoner, who had a knife in his

however, got by the famous Stockwell, sire of Blair Athol,
winner of the Derby, and unquestionably the most fashion-
able stallion of the day, added to which she traces her
lineage through her dam (Bracey) to the famed Queen
Mary, dam of Blink Bonny, and grandam of Blair Athol,
&c., and will always keep the money together, if only
for breeding purposes. After the sale of the Royal produce
thirteen of Mr. Greville'a yearlings were sold in the same
paddock, and realised a total of 2,491 guineas, or an average
of 190 guineas each. Messrs Tattersall as usual cfficiated.
The following are the prices and the purchasers' names :

, hand, made a cut at deceased and stabbed him, and
he died in three weeks after from the effects
of the wound. If these facts, wero extenuated he
thought it was prima facie murder, and it would be rather
for the jury to consider more minutely whether there was
anything to justify the charge being reduced to manslaugh-
ter. The Common Sergeant then alluded to the charges
for manslaughter, amongst which was that of the woman
lately residing in Johnson-street, New Cut, remarking that
all of them appeared to have been committed while the pas-
sions of the prisoners were inflamed by drink. In conclu-
sion he alluded to the case of which a captain of a vessel
was charged with enlbez3ling LIAO belonging to his em-
ployer. The prisoner, it appeared, received the money
abroad end ought to have at once accounted for it, and
remitted it to the owners of the vessel. Instead of doing
so, he came to England with the money which he deposited
in different banks. The prosecutors hearing of the fact of
his arrival in England caused him to be apprehended, and
his statement was that he invested the money for security,
while he foolishly went about to see his friends instead of
going directly with it to his owners. The question for them
would be whether or not the prisoner had any felonious in- '
tent when he invested the money, or whether it was, as he
stated, a mere matter of negligence.
The Court then proceeded with the business of the session,
William Heath, a respectable looking man, pleaded guilty
to a charge of embezzling money, the money of Mr. Ed •
wards, the proprietor of the Building News. The prisoner
had been :in prison two weeks, and he appeared to believe •
that he was only civilly liable to the prosecutor for the
money.

He was bound over in his own recognisances to come up
For judgment when called upon.
