the bottom turn, when Trust began to draw upon the
favourite, and upon entering the straight the two Tupgill
horses closed with the favourite, who before reaching the
distance was in difficulties. Trust then took the lead ; oppo-
site the stand Aldcroft brought upOldminster, and the pair
running head and head to the chair the judge gave it in a
dead heat. Greville was beaten two lengths from the other
two.

Deciding Heat—Betting 5 to 4 on Trust, who made the

THE COUNSEL AND THE BUNDLE OF BRIEFS.—
SINGULAR SCENE.—At the Sheriffs' Court yester-
terday evening, before Mr Sergeant Wheeler, a case was
tried in which the amount sought to be recovered was £6 6s
for a china dessert service. A learned counsel appeared for
the plaintiff, and called one witness who proved an admis-
sion of the debt and a promise to pay. Upon this his
Honour gave a verdict, when the following discussion en-
sued :—Counsel—l apply for costs of my attendance as
counsel. His Honour—l do not see how I can grant costs
in such a case as this. Counsel—The debt is over £5. His
Honour—Yes, but it is not a case requiring counsel. Coun-
sal--.I practise in the county courts, and I can assure your
Honour that it is the rule to grant costs in all cases over £5.
His Honour—And I also practise in county courts, for I am
judge of one. I know of no such rule. Counsel—It has
been found to work very well, and for that reason I asked
for costs. Your Honour would not get counsel to come at
all if it wore not for the rule. I have three more cases here,.
and counsel can only get one guinea, so he look toth is
rule. The way it works is that counsel takes a. bundle of
briefs. His Honour (interrupting)—lteallY' tinreeln know
