THE DISGRACEFUL "ROPING" CASE AT
WARWICK.

It was stated that it was probable the Jockey Club would
deal severely with Messrs. Hitchin, alias Mellon, and
Robert I'Anson, the instigators in the " roping" of Tels-
combe at the recent Warwick Meeting. The last number
of the sheet Calendar contains the following notice and
sentence upon the offenders. After the description of the
race, and the statement of the case, the Calendar proceeds
as under :

We subjoin the evidence sent to the Stewards of the
Jockey Club, with their judgment on the case
Warwick, March 18.
I'Anson, jockey and rider of Telscombe, in Selling Race,
states :

I rode Telacombe in the Selling Race, and received orders
from my father, the trainer (Robert I'Anson), and from
Mr. Mellon, the owner, to get off badly, to run wide at the
turn, and not to win.
Robert I'Anson, father of the jockey, states :
He has heard the evidence of his son, and that it is quite
correct, and that he gave the boy the above instructions,
having received the same from the owner of the horse, Mr.
Mellon.

The Stewards sent for Mr. Mellon, but he did not appear,
though he was seen in the enclosure before the race.
London, March 21, 1864.
The Stewards of the Jockey Club, with reference to the
enclosed case, which they have received from the Stewards
of Warwick, do hereby notify to Mr. Hitchin, alias Mellon,
that he is warned off NewmarketHeath, and that his horses
will not be allowed to run on any course where the New-
market rules are in force. _

Mr. Robert I'Anson, trainer, who gave instructions to
his son, in accordance with Mr. Hitchin's orders, "not to
win," is warned off Newmarket Heath, and no horses
trained by him shall be allowed to run at Newmarket,
Epsom, Goodwood, or Ascot for two years from this date.
With respect to R. I'Anson, jun., taking into considera-
tion his extreme youth, and that he was instructed by his
father to commit an unprincipled outrage, he will escape
punishment, but this act will be registered against him,
and a repetition thereot will prevent him from riding races
for the remainder of his life.

PRINCE OF WALES'S YACHT CLUB.—The opening
ofp stt hfi a pleasant e ev

sail
w took place on Thursday last.
Above six yachts met at Blackwall-pier at three p.m., and
aftera
dasowonnwtahredtsa,balreriavt six o'clock,edatßrithaatuhdal3fo-
gentlemen sat down—Mr. R. Hewitt, the late commodore,
in the chair, faced by Mr. Percival Turner, the treasurer.
The toasts of the " Queen," " Prince of Wales, and the rest
of the Royal Family," having been drunk, Mr. Turner
proposed" The Health of Mr. Hewitt," which was duly
responded to. Other toasts followed, and a pleasant even-
ing was spent.
SCULLERS' RACE AT PUTNEY.—A smilers' race
took place yesterday from Putney to Mortlake be-
tween John Caffin, of the Old Swan, and William Burr, of
Paul's Wharf, the former staking £lO to the latter's £7.
Mr. Innis was referee, and the men got away at the first
attempt, with level betting. Burr went off at a clipping
pace, and in 100 yards was a length ahead; here the other
began to piek him up, passed him at Simmond's, increased
his lead all the way, and won as he liked. Time, 27 min.
r i
25 sec., in old fashioned boats.

a G her
Gaol,
Chelmsford. There is no doubt that the charred bones dis-
covered were those of a full-grown child, but whether they
were of a child born alive or not is not eo clear ; in fact it
is impossible to form a definite opinion on the subject. The
woman appears at present to treat with coolness the very
serious accusation preferred against her.
THE ACCIDENT ON THE MONMOUTHSHIRE RAIL-
WAY.—Another of the injured men -has died, mak-
ing the second fatal case from this accident. The three
others who were injured are progressing as favourably as
might be expected, and it is believed they will recover.
