post he was leading three lengths, a like distance peparating
the other two. They ran in these positions until rounding
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 upOldminater, 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 6 to 4 on Trust, who made the

worth recording took place until entering the straight the
last time, when the favourite went to Honest John, and,
heading him inside the distance, won after a good race by a
neck; Aunt Judy a bad third.

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 leurned 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-
ssl—l 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—lt 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 were not for the rule. I have three more cases here,
and counsel can only get one guinea, so he looks to this
rule. The way it works is that counsel takes a bundle of
briefs. His Honour. (interrupting)—Really, sir, I know
nothing of bundles of briefs or arrangements between coun-
sel and attorneys. All I know is that in cases where debts
like the present are admitted I see no necessity for counsel.
Counsel—Only that rule is found to work well, and we look
to costs, or should not come at all. If we do not get costs
from the court your Honour will not see us here at all. His
Honour—l cannot help that, sir; and I must say that it is
a most unusual thing for counsel to talk about bundles of
briefs and money matters in this way before the public. I
do not require any more explanations, and I shall not allow
costs in this case. The matter then dropped.

The Pacha of Egypt has just lost a daughter,
aged 15, who was betrothed to one of his High-
ness's aide-de-camps, Since her death the Viceroy
has not left his residence at Ghise, and receives no

one.
Sad accounts have been received of the state of
the growing crops in Lower Hungary. The Hirnok,
states from authentic information that the frost has
destroyed nine-tenths of those of colza four-tenths of wheat.
The loss of the autumn sowings in the Olfold alone amounts
to four millions of florins (tea millions of francs)."
La Pommerais, on returning to the prison after
his condemnation to death, recovered all his calmness.
During the two days before he had eaten little or nothing,
had enjoyed no sloep, and his strength failed him every time
he left the Court. After the trial, on the contrary, being
relieved from the agony of the struggle, and knowing, as he
said, his fate, he expressed his satisfaction at baying all doubt
at an end. I wish for nothing more than to die, and the
sooner the bettor." He called for dinner, and ate with a
good appetite, and at night slept soundly for nine hours.
This is the first time since his arrest that his rest has been
so long. Tho prisoner expressed yesterday his formal in-
tention not to appeal, wishing, as he said to have done with
life. But after a conversation with M. Lachaud he with-
drew his refusal and signed an appeal to the Court of Ces-
sation.

REV. DR. GIITHRIE.—The Scotch newspapers
contain a letter from this well• known divine of the Free
Church, intimating with deep regret his resignation of his
church, as his physicians have forbidden him ever again to
appear in a pulpit or on a platform.
