COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
WINDRAM.
This. was a petition presentA for William Frederick
Windham, of Fellbrigg Hall, Norfolk, which prayed that
so much of the crier of Court of Nov., 23, 1861, be re-
strained until further order from interfering in the affairs
and concerns of the petitioner, and that the costs of Mr.
Windham on the proceeding consequent thereon, be paid
by the petitioners or one of them.
Mr. Rowcliffe said he had to apply to the Court to allow
the case to stand over until the next petition day.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce--Is there any opposition to
the case standing over ?

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.)

FINNES V. NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.
This was an action brought by the father of a young girl,
between 10 and 11 years, named Finnes, to recover com-
pensation for the injuries she sustained by an accident
which happened on the above•named railway some time
since near Kentish-town. The girl, when rescued from
the accident, was conveyed to the University Hospital, and
there placed under the care of Mr. Marshall, the surgeon.
On an examination taking place, it was discovered that she
had sustained a concussion of the brain, injuries to her foot,
and deep cuts about her face. She remained in the hospi-
tal six week, but was then sufficiently recovered to leave
the institution, but she was not then considered to be cured.
Ever since she had suffered from the shock to the brain,
and Mr. Marshall was of opinion that she would, at the
expiration of 10 or 12 months, recover the injuries, but she
would, perhaps, always feel the hurt she had received to her
foot, and the scars on her face would always remain visible.
The jury, after about 40 minutes' deliberation, found a
verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, £5OO.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(nis Day.)

IVIARLBOROUGH-STREET.
TILE EFFECT CFA BAD EXAMPLE.—Edwin Cole, a
respectable-looking boy, was charged before Mr: Yardley
with stealing a piece of cheese from the shop of Mr. E. W.
Fisher, cheesemonger, of Little Earl-street.
The case having been proved,

The boy's mother, who seemed in great grief, said he had
been working with an uncle, a carpenter, and had had two
situations bofore, being a good scholar, but he had a most
wretched home, his father drinking terribly. He (Mr.
Yardley) had punished him once for his dissipated habits,
at the Thames Police-court, and he was in the habit of
leaving them without food. She could not say whether
the boy had taken the cheese or not. She wished him sent
to a refoi matory, as he had twice before been in custody—
once at Bow-street, before Mr: Henry.

Mr. Yardley asked what punishment he was sentenced to?
The mother said once he was sentenced to three months'
imprisonment, and once to 21 days.
Mr. Yardley said, addressing the boy, that his mother
evidently felt for him, and that she at first was not able to
repress hen feelings, but at last had told the whole truth,
like an honest woman.

THIS' DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE,

The show of samples of English wheat here to-day was
small. All good-conditioned parcels wore firm hin prices;
but damp qualities were much. neglected, and their value
ruled, in a great measuse,
There was a fair quantity of foreign wheat on the stands.
In most descriptions a limited business was transacted,
yet, compared with Monday, not quotable change took
place in the currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request; never-
theless, prices ruled tolerably firm.
Barley was a dull inquiry, and secondary qualities sold
at fully the late decline in their value.
Malt sold heavily at previous rates.
For oats there was a limited demand. Fine corn firm in
price, but inferior qualities were rather drooping.
Both beaus and peas were in limited request at about
stationary prices.

The flour trade was dull, yet no further change of im-
portance was observed in the quotations.

THE GREAT WATERLO ) COURSING MEETING.

THURSDAY.

The second day's coursing for this meeting opened with
the Waterloo Purse, of which event the first and second
ties are completed. The Waterloo Cup is now considerably
reduced in the number of its competitors, the fifth ties and
deciding course only remaining to finish it. It may be in-
teresting to state that the fifth ties will be a struggle for
victory between the English and Scotch breeds, both being
evenly represented, the former by Belligerent and Bowfell,
while Roaring Meg and Kingwater belong to over the
border. A peculiarity attached to the Waterloo Plate is,
that it is comp@sed of the 16 dogs who were beaten in the
second ties for the Cup, amongst the victors in which £lOO
is to be divided. The sport was good, the judging satis-
factory, and the attendance large. The following are the

For an off day the room this afternoon was numerously
attended. Among those present were many influential
members who evidently had some other object in view than
killing time, which, as the day drew on, became manifest,
the transactions upon the principal spring events and the
Derby being speculated upon with great spirit. The de-
monstration appeared to infuse some heart int the backers,
who hitherto have beon in reserve, and we trust that from
this point we may date the commencement of the active
business of the turf for the season 1862.
The LINCOLNSHIRE HANDICAP claims priority. Subur-
ban, who appears to have recovered his buoyancy, was :sup-
ported with much spirit, both in the city in the morning
and here. Bto 1 was accepted about Shropshire, and simi-
lar odds were taken by the supporters of Ducat. Ariadne,
" the deserted," occasionally was asked after, but 100 to 8,
we imagine, was her highest price.
The LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE presented nonew feature
beyond the extreme confidence reposed in the Dane, who
appears from recent advices in much greater respect, not-
withstanding the unwavering support given by the French
division to their representatives. Thomastown, the "Irish
lion," retained his position, and was repeatedly backed at
15 to 1 to money.

The NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES.—This important
race has but just made its appearance in the market, and
but little or nothing has been transacted likely to throw any
light on the result. Panique, about whom 20 to 1 was taken
in well-informed quarters to upwards of 100, was made a
prominent favourite; and, at the same odds, Schism found
support, Wildman, Gouvieux, and West End were the
only others we heard mentioned, and were backed at 25 to
1 each.

The Two THOUSAND GUINEAS-3 to 1 was offered
freely about Old Calabar, but did not meet with a reply;
but we imagine half a point more would have met with
ready acceptors. The Marquis appears to retain his
equivocal reputation, as well as situation-8 to 1 being
offered, and, subsequently, rather than lose a customer, 100
to was betted; 100 to 8 each was betted several times
about Wingrave and Alvediston; and 50 even that Old
Calabar is not one of the first three.
The DERBT.—OId Calabar was backed at 8 to 1 to 100,
and Lord Stamford's slashing son of Orlando and Vivan-
diere was also in great demand, 20 to 1 being repeatedly
noted down to win some thousands. Wingrave received
the support of an old friend, who readily accommodated all
comers at 25 to 1. The Typee colt did not to us appear to
look quite so blooming, 1,000 to 30 being repeatedly offered,
but not as readily taken; but at last, we believe, 28 to 1 was
the best price that could be procured about him. Caterer,
about whom so many reports have gone forth, met with a
friend bold enough to do battle on his behalf and accept 30
to 1 about him, with an offer to go on. Melek came again,
and was introduced by a friend of the owner accepting
5,000 to 150 about him, which price we doubt could be
obtainable at the close of the room. Hubert advanced some
points upon his last quotation,:and bids fair to see a much
shorter price. Master Fenton was the only other animal
mentioned, and a few ponies were invested at 40 to 1.
