A SPORTING APPLICATION.—A well-dressed young man
made the following extraordinary application to the magis-
trate

Applicant—A man told me that he had gone £2 upon a,
running man, and asked me if I would stand in.
Mr. Arnold—l don't understand this slang. What do
you mean, pray, by the phrase " stand in ?"
Applicant—Be in it. Take a part, but he bested me.
Mr. Arnold—ls this a matter in which you require pro-
cess of the Court, if not, I cannot hear you any further. I
have nothing to do with pedestrian matters.
Applicant—l wanted either a summons or a warrant.
Mr. Arnold—What for ?

Applicant—Obtaining money under false pretences.

Mr. Arnold—Then state the facts plainly to me.
Applicant—Last Monday week a man came to me and
told me he had gono £2 upon a pedestrian match, and
asked me if I should stand in, as it was more than he could
afford to go at once. He said he had staked the money
with a man named Shepherd, and I said I would go ss.
with him, and I gave him the money then and there.
Mr. Arnold—What is the false pretense ?
Applicant—Shepherd never held the £2.
Mr. Arnold—Did you know the man who had your ss. ?
Applicant—Yes.
Mr. Arnold—And Shepherd ?
Applicant—Well.

Mr. Arnold—You could have inquired of Shepherd into
the truth of the story.

Applicant—l could not inquire then. I took his word,
considering it was all right.
Mr. Arnold—lt is a very foolish matter. You had bettor
sue him in the County County for the ss.
