(Before Mr Registrar Winslow as Commissioner.)
IN RE SPRINGETT.

MARLBOROUL3H-STREE r.

This bankrupt was described as of Clement's-lane, Lom
bard-street, architect, and applied for his release from
custcdy. The debts and liabilities are stated at £27,000,
and he attributes his difficulties to not being able to dispose
of some houses built by him on his own land. There are,
also. secured debts to a large amount, and it is expected
that there will be a surplus available for a dividend.

A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS MASTER
ROBBERY AND RECEIVING.—Francis Hatawell, a young
man, barman to Mr William Thomson, of the Black
Horse public-house, Haymarket, was charged before Mr
Tyrwhitt with robbing his master of 6d, and Andrew Hart,
a bootmaker, of 22, Ranelagh-grove, Pimlico, was charged
with receiving the same, well knowing it to bp stolen.
Mr Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection
Society, prosecuted.

In opening the case Mr Child said the prisoner Hatwell
had only been three weeks in Mr Thompson's employ, and
had been caming on a system of robberies very common,
namely, by havitg a person to come in and put down a
small coin, and giving change as for a large ono. The pri
soner Hart had never been a visitor at Mr Thomson's till
after Hatswell came to live there, and since then he had
ben in the habit of going to the house five nights out of
the seven, and three or four times a night.
Mr %V. Thomson said that suspecting Hatswell he
watched him last night, and a little after 12 Hart came in
and called fur some warm gin and water,• which Hatswell
served him with. Hart put down a shilling on the counter,
and Hatswell took Irons the till a 61, and some coppers, and
then put his hand again to the till and took out a second 61.
and placed it on the counter in front cf Hart. Hart in his
hurry to take up the money dropped a 61. c n the ground.
He (tlr Thomson) then told his other barman to get over
the counter and look for the 6d., and Hart refused to move.
Ha (Mr Thomson) then got over the counter, and having
pushed Hart away, his barman took a 61. from under his
foot, He then asked Hart whether the 6J. was his, and he
said, " Well, if I have not got another 61. in my pocket it
is mine, as I had only one." He then asked Hart to turn
out his pockets, and he did so, when he produced three
more sixpences and shillings and some coppers. He then
gave Hart into custody, and on afterwards speaking to Hats -
well,•he said, if he gave the 61. it was a mistake. He
told Hatswell that it was not the first mistake by a good
many, and that he had long suspected him. He then asked
the prisoner what he had in his boxes, and he said "about
£2." On calling in Sergeant Appleton, and searching the
prisoner's boxes, £4 3s. 21 was found, and some tobacco
and cigars belonging to him (Mr Thomson). He then gave
Hatswell into custody.
In answer to Mr Child, Mr Thomson sail that he never
saw Hart at his house till Hatswell came, that Hart visited
at his house three or four times a night, and alwa) a went
to the front where Hatswell served. The prisoner Hats-
well said he did not know Hart.

A barman, in Mr Thomson's employ, corroborated Mr,
Thomson,

Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, proved asking the prisoner
Hatswell what.he had in his boxes, and he said about £2,,
but on searching it LI 3s 2d was found, some tobacco and
cigars, and a quantity of letters signed "ElizA Hart," who,
on inquiring, notwithstanding the prisoners denied know-
ing each other, turned out to be the prisoner Hart's siiter.
Austin, 188 C, said in taking Hart into custt,dy he denied
knowing Hatswell.

Mr fyrwhitt committed the prisoners fcr trial, and
refused Halt's application to be admitted to bail.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE HAYMARYET.—Wm.
Kime, described as a traveller, residing at 3, St. John's •
terrace, Brompton,' was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with
disorderly conduct in the Ha) market.
From the evidence of police-constable, 31G A, it ar.
peared that about half-past one o'clock that morning he saw
two prostitutes fighting in the Haymarket, a large crowd
of persons being collected at the time. The defendant came
up flourishing a stick, and told him to leave the women
alone. He told the defendant to go away, and he said he
would do as he liked, and then struck a gentleman's hat,
but the gentleman refused to prefer any charge. As the
defendant refused to go away, and caused a deal of confu-
sion, he was obliged to take him into custody.
Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s or 14 days, and said
ho might be thankful the gentleman was not in attendance.

LINCOLN AUTUMN MZETING.

With ground hard as adamant, and in clouds of dust
wartby of the Sahara, Lincoln inaugurates the steeplechase
season. The day's card was a poor one, comprising only five
events, of which the Autumn Handizap, the chief, brought
together but few starters. Of course, the eta eof the
ground had a good deal to do with this comparative failure,
ownere of horses being chary of pulling them out, with the
prospect of the Houghton week before them. Suburban
was made the favourite, despite his not being considered to
like " hard going." The old horse, however, pulling double
all the way, won without much trouble. Erie-go-Bragh,
who looked formidable at ono time, retiring from the con-
test on entering the a raight, and leaving the Count's horse
noticing to beat but a moderate trio.

The Selling Steeplechase also furnished a quintet ven-
turesome enough to brave the perils of a course resembling
a turnpike road and a brook innocent of wa`er. After divers
refusals and mishaps, the race was left to Cumberland and
Discrepancy, Mr Land's horse winning at last very easily.
The Hurdle Rice was also an easy victory for Pigeon,
and brought a poor afternoon's spot to a conclusion.

The weather was fine, and the attendance anything but
numerous.

The Carholme Stakes of 5 soya each, with 35 added, for
2-yr•olds ; colts, 8 t 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b, with certain

even) agst Goldylocks.
Godmersham in the inside made play, having Goldylocks
at his girth, the pair being followed by Cronstadt and
Coverdalo. They ran thus to the eistanco, when the
former gave way, leaving Goldylocks in possession of a
clear lead, which she retained to the end, and won in a
canter by ten lengths. Nelly Gray, who headed the favourite
half way in the distance, finished second, a length in ad-
vance of Baron Mesnel's colt. The winner was bought in
for 90 guineas.

The Lincolnshire Autumn Handicap of 10 Boys each, 5 ft,
and 3 sous if declared, 100 added. Winners extra. The

Betting-6 to 5 agst Suburban, sto 2 agst Erin-go-Bragh,
5 to 1 agst Moose, 6 to 1 agst Pixie and Sir Watkin.
Moose got away with a slight lead, Sir Watkin going in
second, and Pixie next, the favourite and Erin-go-Bragh
lying some lengths in their rear. As they proceeded up the
hill Pixie headed Sir Watkin, and as they reached the lime
kilns he joined the leader, the pair racing for the lead to
the mile post. Here they were joined by Erin-go-Bragh
and Suburban, the lot running in close company into
the straight, where Erin-gc-Bragh was beaten and became
last. The leaders retained their position to the distance,
where Moose was beaten, leaving Pixie in possession of the
lead, closely pressed by Sir Watkin and Suburban to half-
way down, where the latter came up next the rails, and
getting his head in front at the stand won a fine race by
half a length, a length separated the second and third.
Moose was fourth, beaten three lengths.
The Selling Steeple Chase, of 5 sovs, with 40 added, 12st
each. With selling allowances. The second saved his
stake, About three miles. 7 subs.
Mr Land's Cumberland, aged (no), lost ....(J. Land) 1
Mr Welfltt's Discrepancy (£TWO), 11,t (Ur Drake) 2
The following also tan :—Gambler, Ballinat.4loe, and
Princess.

Betting-6 to 5 agst Cumberland, 3to 1 apt Princess,
and 4 to 1 agst Ballinasloe.
The favourite, with a clear lead, made play, followed by
Gambler, Ballinasloe, Discrepancy, and Princess in the
order we have given them, to the artificial water-jump in
front of the stand, which the leader cleared cleverly, but
Gambler, less fortunately, refused, and unhorsed his
rider, who was soon remounted, but again refused the
flight of hurdles on the common, and was left a long way
in the rear. Crossing the lane into the meadows, Cum-
terland increased his lead, but on reaching the second
fence in the rear of the hovel he blundered on landing,
and came on his nose and knees, but was saved from
falling through the quickness of his rider, but the mis-
take left him some lengths in the rear of Ballinasloe
and Discrepancy, Gambler going on fourth and Princess
next. The latter, however, was placed hors de combat
by falling at the same fence as the favourite, and was
afterwards persevered with. As they preceded across the
stubble in the rear of the brick-kilns, Ballinasloe
increased his lead to upwards of twenty lengths, but
going on the wrong side of the turning flag he had
to return, and was in consequence out of the race.
This mishap gave a clear lead to Discrepancy, who
came on with the running, followed by Cumberland to
the fence into the winning field, which the former cleared
a couple of lengths in advance, but on reaching the flight
of hurdles beyond Cumberland cleared them first, and came
on with a decided lead, which he retained to the end, and
won easily by three lengths. The others, who repeatedly
refused, were pulled up some distance from home. The
winner was bought in f,r 70 guineas.

Tho Handicap Hurdle Race, of 5 soya each, with 40 added,
winners extra, the second saved his stake. Two miles.
10 subs.

Batting—Even on Pigeon, 5 to 2 agst Shiite, and 3 to
1 agst Never-no-Moro.

Never-no-More made the running to the first turn, where
he was headed by Harden, who carried it on to the mile
post, where the lot got upon close terms, and ran in com-
pany to the T. Y. C. pose, where the favourite, who had
hitherto lain off, came through his horses and took a decided
lead, whieh ho held to the end, and won, pulling double,
by six lengths ; a like distance separated the second and
third.
