LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.
TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF THE DUKE CF
WELLINGTON.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, Lord Camp-
bell said—l wish to announce that on Thursday next,
the 18th instant, the day appointed for the funeral of
Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington, the Court of
Queen's Bench will not sit. We trust this will be
deemed a proper tribute of respect to the memory of
that illustrious man—considering that, under Divine
Providence, it may be chiefly ascribed to his genius, to
his courage, and to his patriotism, that wo are now ad-
ministering peaceably the laws under the ancient and
free constitution of this country.

The meeting of Parliament will probably prejudice the
GNateot
materially, Leamington being well filled at the present
time. The bill of fare is a strong one; and the sport on
Tuesday will commence, as usual, with the 5 Soya.
Sweepstakes, for two and three years old; five furlongs.
This stake closes between the hours of four and six on
Monday evening; and the nominations must be made to
Mr. Merry, at the Gecrge Hotel, Warwick.
The Great Warwick Handicap, of 15 soya. each, 5 ft.,
with 100 added, and penalties for winning after the de-
claration of the weights, &c. ; once round ; one mile six
furlongs and sixty yards. The penalties will only affect
the Little Fawn and Odiham, whose respective weights
are increased from Est 91b and Est 31b to 7st 1 lb and Est
91b. Out of the fifty entries obtained to this stake
twenty-nine acceptances have been announced ; and I
think I shall not be very wide of the mark if I say that
a moiety at the least, if not more, will be found at the
post. Retail, at 7st 111 b, after his Liverpool running
can scarcely be considered good enough to win this
stake. Alonzo, at two pounds less is in the same predi-
cament as the foregoing. Ariosto will, in all probabi-
lity, run, and may get a forward place, but as to winning
that is quite out of the question. Miss Ann or Doubt
will represent Saunders' Stable; and there are more im-
probable things than one of these winning. Gladiole,
in once again at an uncommonly favourable weight, will
take an immense deal of beating, if destined to be de-
feated at all. Hungerford, at a pound less than the pre-
ceding, I understand is a certain runner, and conse-
quently must not be despised. The Little Fawn without
her penalty, would have looked very formidable ; the
six pounds additional, however, makes all the difference.
Her victory at Liverpool was accomplished with such
can, however, that she must not be altogether thrown
elide on this occasion. The six-years-old Alp, with
fist 91b up, is of no use in the present company. Lough
Bawn, at Est 81b, makes the majority of the
middle weights safe : or, if he does not, Odiham
does. Unity, Tomboy, the antiquated and feather-
weighted Snowstorm, and the Surveyor require no con-
sideration. Little Davie not much, as at sst 121 b he is
not well in comparatively with others in the race. 11
Madame Wanton, with only sst 121 b upon her four-
years-old back, is handicapped lightly enough now, if
she never was before; but I very much doubt her efforts
ending in anything but disappointment. Lindrick at
sst 101 b, satisfactorily disposes of Trifle and the Bit of
Blue. Ischia will, no doubt, in company with Miss
Jemima, give place to Gladiole as the representative of
the stable. Dame Tattle, Lady Blanche, Madeline,
Proudfoot, and Isabella, have their respective chances
set at nought by the presence of Ibis, in their depart-
ment of the weights. The struggle at the termination
of the race, I fancy, will show Doubt (if that is,
Saunders' intended), Gladiole, Hungerford, Little Fawn,
Lough Bawn. and Ibis, in front; the Gladiator's daughter,
GLADIOLE, issuing out of the struggle triumphant.
Ibis and Hungerford may, perhaps, obtain the second
and third placed. In my remarks on this race, I have
referred to the weights as they originally appeared
in the Handicap, though the highest weight accepting
being only 7st 111 b, .I presume they will be raised to
Bst 11b, according to the law in that case made and pro-
vided.
The Leamington Welter Cup, value 100 sovs., the
rest in specie, by subscription of 15 sou. each, 10 ft,
and only 5 if declared, &c.;
,the winner of the handicap
after the declaration of the weight, to carry 51b extra.
Gentlemen riders. Once round—about a mile and three-
quarters. A race with gentlemen jockeys up is at al
times a ticklish one to select the winner of. Looking at
th• pretensions of the horses, the winner would seem
to bo in the heavy-weighted division. Miss Ann, for
instance; and Yarforth and Agis are her most dangerous
rivals. The three figure within two pounds of the same
weight. More of this race anon.
A 5 soya. stakes over the mile course will close the
first day's performance.
The second day's races comprise the Free Handicap
Hurdle Race, the Grand Open Steeple-chase, and the
Hunt Cup, and Free Handicap Steeple-chases. The
straws afloat in the air have not yet shown which way the
wind blows with respect to the sport of the second day;
therefore I shall postpone my opinion until to-morrow
at least, if not till Monday. Carrig and the General
have each a penalty of seven pounds to carry in the
Grand Steeple-chase, in consequence of their victories
at Liverpool and Worcester, which I have but little
doubt will settle both their chances. MAURICE DALEY,
at 9st 41b, and the BRITISH YEOMAN, at lOst 71b, if
meant, look as dangerous as any.
The Hurdle Race, in my opinion, is a good thing for
CATIRIRE, who will be very difficult to beat, notwith-
standing the penalty he will carry for winning at Liver-
pool. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
