SPOR7ING INTELLIGENCE.

TATIERSALLS'LLAsT EVENING?.
Had it not been for the fortunate change in the weather
on Saturday, which enabled Mr. Merry to complete his
week's engagement at Warwick, the attendance here this
afternoon would have presented the same appearance as has
hitherto been looked forward to at the close of the legiti-
mate racing season ; but tho wind-up at Leamington sup-
plied some grist to the mill of the layers, who in conse-
quence, either in person or by agent, mustered in some
force ; many of them actuated by the hope of meeting with
a stray customer prior to retiring for the winter, The
monetary process was got through with great ease ; but
any attempt to resume speculation upon the Guineas or the
Derby appeared to be met with silence. In consequence
the following list must be taken as indicative of the rela-
tive positions in favour of the animals named.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL OF SYSTEMATIC SHoPLlFTEaso—Margaret
Adams and Sarah Williams, charged with being in posses-
sion of a quantity of goods, consisting of pieces of silk, hand-
kerchiefs, drawers, &c., all bearing shop marks, and be-
lieved to be stolen, were brought before Mr. Mansfield for
the purpose of committal.

Mr. Warrand, solictor to the Association:for the Prose-
cution of Shoplifters, &c,, prosecuted, and Mr. Pater, bar-
rister, defended Adams.
The prisoners visited the house of Messrs. Grant and
Gask, silk mercers, of Oxford-street, and was followed by
an assistant, and given into custody, when two pieces of
Bilk handkerchiefs—four in each—and some drawers, with
shop-marks on them, showing that they had not been sold,
were found upon them by Moorcroft, 10 E, and Hiscock,
51 E.

Mr. Pater having cross-examined one of the constables,
Henry Gardner, assistant to Messrs. Clack, 102, Oxford-
street, hosiers and outfitters, identified some of the articles
found on the prisoners as the property of the firm, and said
the value of them was 30s.

In cross-examination the witness said he recognised the
goods by the shopmarks on them, they having been marked
by one of the firm.
The witness was closely pressed by Mr. Pater as to his
knowledge of the fact whether the goods had been sold or
not, and said they had not been sold for four days before
they were found on the prisoners, and that he could not re-
cognise the prisoners as having been in the shop.
The constable said there was no owner for the handker-
chiefs.

Mr. Warrand said the prisoners were found with some
things in their possession, and they had both given false
addresses.

Boden, one of the officers of the court, said that one of
the prisoners had been tried.

Mr. Pater addressed the magistrate at some length on
the part of Adams.
Mr. Mansfield said he should send the case before a jury,
and the prisoners were committed for trial.
