LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
A SOVEREIGN OR A FARTIIING.—SINGULAR DISPUTE.—
BARTON V. CARNELL.—This was an action to recover £l,
money alleged to have been received by the defendant, who
keeps the Crown Tavern in St. Paul's Churchyard, and
who pleaded that she did not receive the £1 as alleged,
but only one farthing, which she returned to plaintiff.
„. .

Plaintiff stated that he went into defendant's house for
change for the £l, putting the coin upon the bar. De-
fendant took up the coin, but averred that plaintiff had
only put down a new farthing.

Mrs. Camel denied that the £1 had ever been put
upon her bar. Plaintiff put down a new farthing.
His Honour pointed out to the plaintiff that
.there was
a direct contradiction .in the case.

Plaintiff urged that he could account fur all the money
he had in his possession. He went into St. Paul's
Churchyard on the day in question, and wished to buy a
sppnge of a man who was selling sponges in the street.
The man had not change, and that was the reason plain-
tiff went into the defendant's house to get it.

Mrs. Carnell said that the sponge man came in with
the plaintiff.

Plaintiff—l deny it.

His Honour—l hardly suppose that Mrs. Carnell, who
was a respectable woman trading in the city, would

change a sovereign for a farthing, and, indeed, if the coin
had been changed at all, it had been most likely done by
the sponge man. All that she had done in the matter was to
offer plaintiff his choice between a la wsuit and a jury.
Plaintiff—What will be the expense of a jury ?

His Honour—The whole expense will possii)y be some
10s. or 12s.

Plaintiff—Your honour will understand that I am only
pressing this matter because I am so sure I did put down
XI.

Mrs. Carnell—And I am equally sure you did not put
down more than a farthing.
His Honour said that where the parties were equally
respectable, as in the present instance, he could not under-
take to decide a case of this kind. Plaintiff could be non-
suited or have a jury.

Plaintiff—Then, I shall havo a jury.
The case then stood over.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BooK-Shop THlEF.—Alfred Evans, a young man,
was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing some books.
The prisoner was seen by a shopman to Mr. Rimell to go
up to the window, and as some books were missed on a
previous occasion, directly after the prisoner left the win-
dow the shopman watched him and saw him take up some
books and walk off with them. The shopman followed
him to Soho-square, and there ho was taken into custody
by Sergeant Cole, 23 C, when ho threw the books from

The prisoner said ho was guilty, but that having no
lodging, and being hungry, he was induced to take the
books.

Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for a month with hard
labour.

WESTMINSTER.

BREAKING INTO BROINIPTON ORATORY.—Hippolito Drux,
a foreigner, was charged with burglariously breaking and
entering the Roman Catholic Oratory at Brompton, and
stealing therein upwards of £8 from the boxes placed for
the reception of alms for the "souls in purgatory."
James Thomas, 122 B—l was in Cottage-place, near
Brompton-row, shortly after four this morning. My
attention was called to hearing glass fall, and I went to the
spot by getting over some railings into Brompton church-
yard. I could see the prisoner on the Oratory tiles. I
went towards him, and as I got to the wall he jumped down
and ran, boots in ono hand and a patent steel cutting saw
in the other. He threw them down. I pursued him over
the wall, caught him, and took him to the station. I could
not get him to speak at all in English. I found £8 12s.
llid. loose in his pockets, £2 in gold, £4 13s. Bd. in silver,
and .£1 19s. 31-d. in coppers, and a purse containing £2 Os.
11d. ono saw, two knives, three keys, lucifer matches, a
jemmy I picked up afterwards near the spot, and a bar of
iron taken from one of the windows of the Oratory chapel
(produced). That would leave space to get in and out of
the window, two panes of which were cut away. I found
the sashes also broken. He said nothing in my presence.
I have no reason to suppose there was any one else con-
cerned. _ _

vv
Father Arthur Cumberlidgo—l live at tho Oratory, and
am in holy orders. Tho house communicates with the
church. It was all safe at 10 o'clock last night. There
were 15 of those boxes with money in them all broken
open. He said he was not a Catholic. The Oratory was
broken into five weeks ago. Two boxes containing notes
were also broken open. It is the property of the Rey
John Dalgairns. He has a possessory right to it, although
it actually belongs to the poor.

Thomas Lytle, porter at the lodge—l fastened up the
chapel at five minutes past 10 last night. A man could
not have been concealed there. It was broken open five
weeks before.

Prisoner had no questions to ask. Ho said he came
from Paris, and in reply to Mr. Solfe, said in French ho
had no home and lived anywhere. He did not deny the
charge.
Prisoner was remanded till Friday.

THE HUNTINGDONSHIRE STAKES.

The following are the remarks of two supposed
sporting authorities with regard to the decision of
the stewards on the Huntingdonshire Stakes. It
will be seen that the one entirely contradicts the
other, Bell's Life awarding the stakes to Suspicion,
and the Sporting Gazette to Claxton. There can-
not be the shadow of a doubt that Suspicion is en-
titled to the stakes, and that all bets must go along
with them as a matter of course, Claxton having
been struck out of the race by Lord St. Vincent, on
Aug. 1:

(From Bell's Life).

In answer to a communication from Mr. W. Bevill in
reference to the above disputed race, Lord St. Vincent
has written to that gentleman assuring him that when
Claxton was sold not a word was said in reference to en-
gagements, and that he (Lord St. Vincent) was perfectly
justified in'scratching the horse. We have since learned
from Messrs. Weatherby that the case has been virtually
decided, but as the decision has not yet received the signa-
ture of the majority of the stewards, they could not an-
nounce it in yesterday's Calendar. Mr. Ravill, however,
informed our reporter at Reading on Friday evening that
the stakes have been awarded to Suspicion. The question
of bets will probably be decided by the committee of Tat-
tersall's on Monday afternoon.

(From the Sporting Gazette).

This disputed raee was virtually settled yesterday
(Friday), when the decision of the stewards—awarding the
stakes to Claxton—was forwarded to the Earl of Sandwich,
at Hinchinbrook, pr his lordship's signature, in conjunc-
tion with that of the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of
Westmoreland, and General Peel, who was especially called
in to assist the other arbitrators. The question of bets
will be gone into at Tattersall's, on Monday next, we
believe.
