SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

The head-quarters of racing, not following the bad ex-
amples of Lincoln, Liverpool, and Northampton, but
clothed in a spring garment, with balmy air and bright
sunshine, has inaugurated the racing season in a most
lamb-like fashion.

The Craven is never a very fully attended meeting, No
especial features of interest attach to it beyond the glimpse
some of the events afford :of the various Derby favourites;
for the Newmarket Handicap does not absorb much specu-
lation. It might be a subject for serious consideration
whether four days would not be ample to dispose of the
various items of sport, which, commencing on Tuesday,
would not drag the racing world from their homes on Sun-
day to spend a wry dull afternoon in Newmarket. To-day
the card was meagre in the extreme, and the eight events,
including two matches marked on it, might well have been
distributed over the rest of the week. Bathilde, despite her
71b penalty, found little difficulty in putting the Craven
Plate to Lord Chesterfield's account, while a great favourite
in Mr. Payne's Olivia, who started at evens, was ignomi-
niously defeated by the light weight, Jessie. The 50 soya
Handicap brought together, with the exception of the
Craven Plate, the only tolerable field of the day, and re-
sulted in the victory of Rouge Crosse, a Derby outsider,
which ran forward in the July Stakes last year. The
match between Clarissimus and Catch-'em Alive excited,
perhaps, the greatest amount of interest of the afternoon's
events, and there was a good deal of betting on it,
Catch 'em-Alive winning a good race by a length and a
half. A good race for the 50 soya Sweepstakes, which was
carried oft by Planet, who immediately after came into the
betting on the Derby, wound up an indifferent afternoon's
sport.

away in front at the third attempt, and made the running,

They ran thus to the bushes, where Argonaut gave way to
Tourist, who came en slightly in advance of Algarsife and
Bathilde into the bottom, where he was beaten, and gave
way to the latter, who obtained a slight advantage half way
in the cords, and won easily by three-quarters of a length;
three lengths separating the second and third; Tourist,
beaten a neck, was fourth; Dunkeld fifth; the last two were

Rouge Crosse, on the far side, was the first off, closely
attended by Salvioni, Concordia, Clairvoyant°, and the
Lady Hawthorn filly, and came on with the running into
the cords, where the favourite obtained the second place,
but failed to reach Rouge Crosse, who won very cleverly
by a length and a half. Concordia finished a bad third ;
Lady Hawthorn filly fourth; Whitebait and Salvioni, side

colt to the bushes hill, where they were joined by Planet on
the extreme right, and Brindisi in the centre, in which posi-
tion they ran into the dip, where Wandering Minstrel was

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day,

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

THE EFFECTS OF THE NIGHT HOUSES IN THE
HAYMARKET.

Charles Robertson St. Quinton, a fashionably-
dressed military-looking young man, said to be most
respectably connected, described as only 17 years
of age, was indicted for obtaining the sum of £5
under fraudulent pretences, there being also a charge
of uttering a forged order for the payment of £lO,
with intent to defraud Messrs. Grindley and Co., the
army agents. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the
first charge; no evidence being offered in the second
charge, the prisoner was acquit ted. It appeared that
the prisoner, who represented himself as belonging
to the 10:h Hussars, there being an cffieer of the
name of St. Quinton in that regiment, but not the
same Christian name as the prisoner, had been in
the habit of frequenting the night-houses in the
neighbourhood of the Haymarket, and particularly
one in Panton-street, of which the nominal prose-
cutor, Howard, who kept a brothel in Pimlico,
was waiter. On the occasion of the prisoner
obtaining the £5 from Howard at Pimlico,
he gave him what purported to be a cheque
drawn by him in his own name for £lO on
Messrs. Grindley and Co. The cheque, on being
presented for payment, was pronounced to be a
forgery, which led to the prisoner's apprehension
on that charge, which, however, was afterwards
withdrawn.

Mr. Sleigh said he was instructed on the part of
tho prosecution that the prosecution had no desire
to press unnecessarily against the prisoner.
Mr. Orridge, for the prisoner, urged upon the
Court that this was a case in which the Court would
be justified in dealing with leniently. He was in-
structed by a most respectable solicitor at Norwich
for the friends of the prisoner to say that they were
ready to enter into any undertaking to send the
prisoner abroad immediately, that he might be able
to retrieve himself and his character. The prisoner
had no doubt acted very improperly, but it would
be the salvation of the prisoner if he was allowed
to be sent abroad by his friends.
The learned Judge having retired, and consulted
one of tt e other judges, on his return ordered the
judgment 10 be respited until next session.
George Oust, 17, barman, and James Smith,
glazier, were indicted, Oust with stealing 53.4 d., the
property of his mas er, and Smith with receiving
the same, knowing it to be stolen. It appeared
that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr.
'William Gouldsmith, licensed victualler, at the
Grapes wine and spirit vaults, Fore-street, Cripple-
gate, as barman ; and it being suspected that he
was in the constant habit, in concert with some
other person, of robbing his employer, his movements
were watched, and marked monies placed in the till,
which led to his detection. The money was found
on the other prisoner. The jury found both pri-
soners guilty.

Mr. Kemp stated that since the prisoner Oust
had been in custody the prosecutor found that his
takings for the last 30 days exceeded the previous
30 by upwards of £9O, therefore he had every rea-
son to believe he had been extensively robbed by
the prisoners.

The learned Judge sentenced both prisoners to
five years' penal servitude.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE THIEVES AT THE GARIELLDIAN PROCESSION.—
Joseph Barrett, John 111 'Kenzie, and Patrick Fitzroy, three
determined-looking fellows, were charged by Mr. James
Thompson, one of the chief inspectors of the Department,
Scotland-yard, with attempting to pick pockets, and having
two gold watches and one silver watch in their possession.
Inspector Thompson said that yesterday afternoon,
about half past five, while at the end of St. James's-
street, in company with Sergeant Coathorpe, he
observed the three prisoner hastily leave a gen-
tleman and make their way up St. James's street.
He noticed Barrett pass something to Fitzroy, and then
they all set to running. He followed M`Kenzie and suc-
ceeded in capturing him, and on taking him into custody
he said, "It's all right, 11.1 r. Thompson, dont take me.'
While he had been pursuing 11.1.'Kenzie he noticed him
throw something down an area, and on going back to the
area he found the gold Geneva watch produced. At the
station a clasp knife was found on Barrett, and on Fitzroy
two watches—the whole of the watches being broken at the
bow.
Sergeant Edwin Coathorpe, of the detective department,
proved following the prisoners up St. James's-street, and
said that he took Barrett, and a constable whom he called to
his assistance, took Fitzroy. Fitzroy threw the constable,
and on his (Coathorpe) going back with Barrett to the con-
stable's assistance he took the two watches produced out of
Barrett's inner coat-pocket.
A constable named Driver, 398 A, corroborated the pre-
vious evidence.
A foreign gentleman named Ferren, staying at Draper's
Hotel, Piccadilly, identified one of the watches produced by
Sergeant Coathorpe.
The watches in the hands of the police are a silver lever,
"Robinson, maker," and a gold Geneva,
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial.
Gaorge Pennington, a lad, was charged by Sergeant
Charles Coles, 23 C, with attempting to steal the breastpin
of a gentleman, and remanded.
Edward Pearson, and Thomas Simpson were charged
with loitering for the purpose of committing a felony, but
discharged.
William Huscroft was charged with stealing a purse in
Pall-mall.

Sergeant Cole saw the prisoner with another lad in Pall-
mall, and knowing them, watched them, and saw the pri-
soner and the other lad pick a female's pocket, but she re-
fused to attend to prosecute.

they were disposed off in different ways.
