LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE JOHN LEE SCOTT.
In this case his Honour passed the bankrupt's exami-
nation, and granted the order of discharge, but that deci-
sion was appealed against, ant the Lord Chancellor had
directed that the matter should be referred back to the
learned Commissioner for further evidence.
Mr. Griffiths complained that the opposing creditor had
not complied with the order of the Lord Chancellor to
bring the matter to issue without delay, that the matter
might be decided before the vacation, but the ord r had
not. been drawn up, and consequently the case was not
in his Honour's paper of business for the day, but the
matter stood in the Lord Chancellor's list for the day.
The bankrupt had volunteered to submit to any further
examination, however searching, and to give every expla-
nation; it was therefore a very herd case that he should
be prejudiced by the lathes of the opposing creditor.
Mr. E. C Lewis protested against the irregularity of
taking matters not in the list before the business of the
day. It was a matter of constant occurrence, and led to
great ieconvenience. He was engaged in a cause from 11
o'clock, and it was now 12, and he must ask the Court
to proceed with the business on the list. His case had been
adjourned till this day.
His Honour said he did not see how he could proceed at
all. He had decided on the ca.Re, as he was led to believe,
on its merits. He was now told that his decision had been
appealed against, but he had nothing before him to show
that.

Mr. Griffiths said there was no doubt of the fact, but the
question was, who was to draw up the order. His Honour's
decision was of vital importance, so that, if possible, it might
be conveyed to the Lord Chancellor before his Lordship
rose to-day.
His Honour said he would not allow applications to in-
terfere with the regular course of the business of the day,
but after the list of the day had been gone through, he
would hear any arguments on either side.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

AN inrsu Row.—Daniel Smith, John Griffin, and Ellen
Barber were placed before Mr. Hall, charged with assault-
ing the police.
Police-constable 112 F said he was on duty last evening,
near Parker-street, Drury-lane, when his attention was
attracted by the female prisoner, who, being intoxicated,
was dancing and singing and making a great disturbance.
He went up to her to endeavour to persuade her to go
home, when she commenced calling him anything but
proper names, and as he was about to remove her from th•
place she commenced fighting, and, on closing with him,
she bit him in the band and on the knee. Griffin seeing
the woman in custody rushed to the spot, and with a stick,
which he held iu his hand, beat him so about the head that
he thought his life was in danger. He then for a short
time seized hold of b ,th prisoners, when Smith came
forward and attempted to rescue them. Some other con-
stables fortunately came up, and all three prisoners were
conveyed t o the station,
The constable's evidence having been corroborated,
Mr. Hall asked the female what she had to say to the
charge ?

Biirber—Say to it. Why, that it's all false, and he knows
it. Drunk indeed I Why, how could I get drunk when I
hadn't anything to eat all day? (Laughter.) I've got a
baby, and it's not likely I should get drunk.
Mr. Hall—Then you say you were sober? Well, that
only makes the matter worse.
Barber--Oh, does it I (Laughter.) Then all I've got to
say is, that I hadn't anything to eat, and having a baby—
(laughter)—l don't think the drop o' beer I took could have
taken effect of me.

Mr. Hall—Well, Smith, what nave you to say to the
charge?
Smith—l wasn't in the street at all, so I couldn't have
anything to do with it. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hall—Aid I suppose, Griffin, you were not there

Either ?
Griffin—That's it, your whorship, I wasn't. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hall—Then it's all a mistake of the policeman's, he
was not struck at all, and the marks about his face prove
it ? (Laughter.)
Griffin—Well, I wasn't in the mess. I never hit him
with a stick. How am Ito tell how ho got the marks on
his face

The police constable said he never lost sight of either of
the prisoners for one minute after the row commenced.

Barber—lt's not true that I was drunk. I have wit-
nesses to prove that I had nothing to eat all day. (Laugh-
ter.)
Mr. Hall—l don't want to hear witnesses about what you
had to eat. (Laughter.) I want to know what you had
to drink.

Barber—Well, nothing but a drop of beer, and I suppose
the weather had some effect on it. (Laughter.)

Mr. Hall—lt is very cowardly for three people to attack
one man, and I shall fine you, Battier, 20s. or 21 days' im•
prisonment, you, Griffin, to a month's impriconment, and
you, Smith, to a flue of 30s. or 15 days' imprisonment.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES—WEDiusner.
The glorious weather and the attraction of "the Stakes"
brought together a large and distinguished concourse to-
day. To give a list of the company would be to include
nearly all those members of the aristocracy who have fled
from the metropolis to seek in cool sea breezes and the
agremens of country houses, the rest so much needed after
the fatigues of the London season. We observed his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Beaufort,
the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Earl and Countess
of Winchelsea, the Earl and Countess of Stamford, Earl
and Countess Spencer, the Earl and Countess of Lincoln,
the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Coventry, the Earl of Zet-
land, &c., while many of the "faithful Commons," released
from senatorial cares, were more agreeably occupied in
speculating on the different chances of Buckstone and the
French mare, and whether Anfieli roaily was the certainty

his party asserted.
The Stakes have been shorn of much of their interest of
late years from causes which it is not necessary here to

and at the enclosure got is head in front, and won in a
canter by two lengths; a bad third.
A Handicap Plate of 100 sous, for 3-yr.olds and upwards.

Craven Course.
Mr. York's The Principal, 4 yrs, 7et 131 b (G. Fordham) 1
Lord Uxbridge's Microscope, 3 yrs, 6st 71b (car. 6st 81b)
(T. French) 2
Mr. Savile's Buckenham, 4 yrs, Bat 101 b .... (J. Goater) 3
Black Prince and Kingswood also ran.
Betting---5 to 4on Buckenham, sto 2 agst Kingswood
6 to 1 aget Black Prince, and 10 to 1 agst the Principal.
Immediately the flag was lowered Kingwood rushed to
the front, and came on with a commanding lead, followed
by The Principal, the favourite, Microscope, at whose girths
was Black Prince. On reaching the turn into the straight,
the former bolted towards the T.Y.C. starting post, leaving
The Principal in command, who was joined at the distance
Buckenham, the latter in a few strides having a slight
lead, which he retained to the enclosure, when Fordham, in
company ,‘i.h Microscope, headed him, and finished a fine
race home; The Principal winning rather el verly at last
by a length, twice that distance separating the second and
third, bad fourth.
