SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

YORK SPRING MEETING-WEDNESDAY.

The weather to-day, though there was a strongish and
cool breeze, was remarkably favourable for the comfort of
visitors to the course, and for a large attendance. The latter,
however, was not so numerous as on Tuesday. Greatly in
contrast with the inactivity at the rooms on the previous
evening, there was on Tuesday night some spirited specula-
tion on the Derby, and during the short period betting went
on more money was invested on the Surrey event than has
occurred for several days past. General Peel, against whom
there were several offers, appeared to be on the decline until
the arrival of Mr. Steel, who picked up seven fifties, which
bet led to an offer on the part of "Major" Booth of six
"monkeys." This was also greedily snapped up by the
Sheffielder, and after backing the animal at 3,000 to 500, he
accepted 600 to 100, and a few minor bets at the same ratio
of odds. Several of the outside division were backed for
small sums, and Scottish Chief was supported for £lOO at 8
to 1. Cambuscan, at a point in advance of these,odds would
have been freely backed, and Ely would haN; been invested
upon for considerable sums at 25 to 1, but not more than
2G to 1 was obtainable. Baragah and Forager were not
much in request, though 40's to 1 would have been taken to
money about Lord St. Vincent's horse. Several cross beta
were made, Prince Arthur and Coastguard being backed
against eanh other for £2OO in their places—the best of one,
two, or three. Paris was also favoured with support for a
place. The racing commenced to. day at one o'clock with
the Eglinton Stakes, which brought out three runners,
and the eagerness with which "the fielders" bet anti-
cipated the position which the favourite Benanoar ob-
tained. For the Flying Dutchman's Handicap there were 9
runners, Little Stag, who on dit had been sold to Lord St.
Vincent for £3OOO, being the favourite. At one time he was
backed against the field, but at the close 6 to 5 agst him were
the current odds. Lytham, the Monk, and My Mary were
the next in demand. The race was preceded by a false start,
after which Mr. Marshall got them well away together, with
the exception of Goldylocks and Newmarket; but these two
soon joined the rest. For a mile they ran upon pretty equal
terms, but afterwards Little Stag and The Monk care away,
and the two ran a close race to the half distance, where they
separated, and The Monk had the best to the finish, and
won by half a length. The Tyro Stakes were contested by
the three entered, and resulted in the victory of Jig, who
realised 90 guineas to the fund. The Consolation Scramble
produced a field of five of the seven entered, the absentees
being Loafer and Newchursh. Speculation thereon was
confined principally to Kapunda and Theobalda, the latter
of which, from the 'Whitewall stable, securing the first vic-
tory of the meeting for the Great Northern establishment.
The Londesborough Cup brought 14 runners to the post,
and, consequent on The Monk's easy victory, Amazonian
was made a great favourite; but the recent excellent pub.
lie form of East Lancashire proved the more truthful
.
criterion to the selection of the winner, East Lancashire

way along the Woodside Newmarket and Goldylocks joined
the Newmarket horse, the three going on in close comprny,
Little Stag proceeding fourth some distance in advance of
the others, who were headed by Flirtation and Donnybrook.
They ran thus until half way round the bend, where Goldy..
locks and Newmarket dropped from the front, and Little
Stag took second place, and Tho Monk drew up to the
leaders. Lytham hung 'out signals of distress half a mile
from home, whereupon Little Stag, with The Monk on his
right, were left in front, and the two came on in close com-
pany, and an exciting race ensued with the two to the dis-
tance, where, however, The Monk obtained an advantage,
which he maintained, and won by half a length. A dozen
lengths separated the second and third, and a similar dis..
Lance divided Donnybrook and Merry Maid ; My Mary
Lytham, and Newmarket passed the post at scattered in-
tervals in the order named. Goldylocks and Flirtation, the

After a long delay at the post, Walloon and Reaper

War Dance, Waterloo, and East Lancashire headed the
heavy-weights. At the distance East Lancashire, next the
rails, took up the running, and after a first race with War

The Lord Chancellor's Bill,

The Lord Chancellor's Bill has been printed. It provides
that no suit shall be brought "in any court" for a money
demand not exceeding £2O, unless within one year after some
part of it became payable, reckoning no time during which
the debtor was absent from England; and (subject to the
same reckoning no process shall issue on judgments of any
Court for a sum not exceeding 420 (on a money demand),
unless within a year from their date, or from the last pay-
ment becoming due, or being made, or two years in case of
fraudulent conduct on the part of the debtor. The power
of a County Court to commit to prison on a judgment for a
sum not exceeding £2O is to cease except as now to be men-
tioned. If on the hearing of a judgment summons it appears
that the debtor has not any means or reasonable expectation
o; being able to pay any part of his debts, the judge may
deolirke to make any order; but if it appear otherwise, the
judge is 1,1 order him to deliver to the registrar a statement
of his debts ate d assets, and attend to be examined, notice to
be given to the el editors and protection granted meantime;
and if the debts owing by the debtor turn out to exceed £5O,
or if he is found to poeseK3 property which cannot be taken
under any process of a County Court, the Court may ad-
judge him a bankrupt. The Com t may order his property to
be seized and sold, taking householc; goods and wearing aps
parel beyond the value of £4, and too:s beyond £3. Upon
examination of the judgment debtor and c onsideration of all
the circumstances (or in his absence at the \Jim° appointed),
the Court is to order him, unless he is adjudge,-1 a bankrupt,
to pay into court such sum as it shall think propser by in-
stalments for division among the creditors, and a copy of
the order is to be sent to his employer, who is to stoi,' the
instalment out of his wages. If he has obtained credit by
false pretences, or been guilty of fraud or breach of trust,
or wilfully contracted a debt without reasonable expecta-
tion of being able to pay it, or disposed of or concealed pro-
perty with intent to defraud his creditors, or since the judg-
ment wilfully wasted his income by unjustifiable extrava-
gance, the judge may commit him to prison ae a misdemean-
ant for not more than two months ; but when discharged he
is not to be liable to any other imprisonment under this act.
Upon payment of the last instalment ordered of the Court
he is to receive a certificate discharging him from his debts.
The bill further provides that no action shall be brought to
recover any debt for ale or beer consumed on the premises
where sold or supplied. If an action is brought in a superior
court for a debt not exceeding £2O, it may be removed into
tho County Court on the application of the defendant ; or the
defendant may within eight days pay the debt without any
costs; or, if he suffer judgment by default, the plaintiff
shall recover no costs ; nor if the plaintiff obtains a verdict,
unless the Judge certifies. Actions brought in a superior.
court for malicious prosecuten, illegal arrest or distress'
assault, false imprisonment, seduction, and any other
action of tort, may if a judge shai2 think fit, be removed
into the County Court (unless the pitzintiff gives security
for costs), on an affidavit that the plaintiff has no visible
means of paying costs. We come now to the proposed grant
of equitable jurisdiction to the County Courts. Every suit
that may now be prosecuted in Chancery may hereafter be
brought in the County Courts if such suit falls within the
following rules :—The demand must not exceed £lOO, unless
it be a dLstributive share of property; the whole property
sought to be distributed or administered in any suit must
not exceed £500; if land is sought to be recovered or sold,
it must not exceed t;,e value of £lO a year; if mortgaged
property is sought to be fore-closed or sold, the mortgage
must not exceed £3OO ; if a i.,artnership is to be dissolved or
wound up, the property must nOt exceed £5OO ; where the
suit is for specific performance or Oncelling of an arrange-
ment for sale of property, its value mpst not exceed £3OO.
Lastly, no injunction is to be granted by a County Court ;
nor any suit entertained involving a question concening
the sanity of a testator. There is to be a right of appera to
the Court of Chancery against the decision of the judge on
any matter of law or equity, or on the admission or reject.'

tion of evidence. Salaries to be increased out of the fees to

be taken for all this additional business, but the salary of
the judge is not to exceed £1,600 a year.

HYDROPHOBIA IN LIVERPOOL,—Another death
from hydrophobia occurred in Liverpool on Tuesday, the
victim being a boy named Samuel Leech, who was bitten in
the lip about a month ago by a shepherd's dog, belonging to
a farmer living at West Derby, near Liverpool,

THE RUSSIAN NAVY.—A largo armour-plated
steam ram, of between 3,000 and 4,000 tons, built
by an English firm, Messrs. Charles Mitchell and :Jo., of
Low Walker, on the Tyne, will be launched from the Go-
vernment dockyard, St. Petersburg, this month, for the
Russian Government. She has been built by English
workmen sent out from this ccuntry, and her armour-plates
have also been manufactured in England. A gunboat,
built by English workmen, will also be launched about the
same time.

THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS. -- The
struggle between the masters and the men may now
be said to have actually commenced, and in such a manner
as to test in a very short time the strength of either party.
On the fact being made known on Monday that the masters'
association had agreed to open the two collieries on strike to
all men who wished to go in on the old terms, a meeting
was held at Hoyle Mill the same evening, when the men
wore enjoined to stand firm, as the union would support
them until the advance asked was conceded. A resolution
pledging the meeting to stand out until the men received
the 10 per cent. was unanimously agreed to. On Tuesday
evening a good deal of excitement was created in Barnsley
by the arrival in the centre of the town of some hundreds
of colliers, with a cart, pulled by men, containing a number
of the Oaks workmen, with printed notices on their hats.
It appeared that the men belonging to that colliery had re•
ceived notice to quit the houses occupied by them under the
the proprietors of the colliery that afternoon.
