It will be remembered that the prisoner, in company
with three other men named Cox, Poulton, and Walsh,
created a disturbance in front of deceased's shop on the 3d
of February, which ultimately resulted in the prisoner
seizing a knife and stabbing Mr. Wincott in the abdomen,
from the effects of which he afterwards died.

The first witness examined was the assistant to the de-
ceased John Part e, who stated that on the day in question
a man named 83.1 es was removing the boes from Mr. Win-
cott's shop, when the prisoner in company with the three
men came up and knocked some of the bones out of
the man's cart, which was standing at the
shop door. A scuffle took place, when Byles
struck one of the men with a bone, but they went a short
distance from the shop. All four men afterwards returned
and stood in front of the shop. He saw the prisoner strike
Mr. Wincott, and Mr. IN incott struck him again in self-
defence. The four men had a scuffle with the deceased
to endeavour to get into the shop. Mr. Win-
cott then called out, " I'm stabbed." One of the
men—he did not think it was the prisoner—had a chopper
in his hand flourishing it over his head. One of them
called out, " Rip the -- guts out." He saw the prisoner
stab Mr. Wincott with a knife, which he took from the
shop board. The knife belonged to the deceased. [The
knife, which was produced, was one ordinarily used
by butchers.] He (witness) had been using the knife
about five minutes before. The prisoner dug the knife
into the pit of the deceased's stomach. He attempted to
stab Mr. Wincott a second time, but was prevented. When
Mr. Wincott was stabbed he pointed to Quail, and said,
" That's the man." All the men were drunk.

Cross-examined—The four men came down n the street
shouting and hallooing in the most noisy manner.
William Bytes, a bone-boiler, residing at Hackney-wick,
said that on the 3d of February he was taking bones from
Mr. Wincott's shop. The prisoner and three other men
began throwing everything about that stood in front of the
trademen's shops. They took the bones out of the cart and
threw them into the road. Quail went into the shop, and
Mr. Wincott ordered him out. Quail struck Wincott, and
Mr. Wincott struck him again. The prisoner then took
the knife from the board and plunged it into Mr. Wincott's
stomach, when be called out, " I'm stabbed."
Cross-examined—One of the bones had been thrown into
the shop. There was a good deal of confusion, but he did
not see Mr. Wincott strike Quail with one of the bones.
Dennis Shee said he saw the prisoner stab Mr. Wincott
with a knife which he took from the shop board. He (wit-
ness) prevented Quail stabbing Mr. Wincott a second time.
By Mr. Sleigh—There was great confusion about the
shop dcor. lie did not see Wincott strike the prisoner,
He had known the prisoner all his life, and he always con-
sidered him a harmless, hard-working man.
'Several other witnesses gave corroborative evidence,
which closed the case for the prosecution.

Mr. Sleigh, in an eloquent speech for the prisoner, con.
Vended that the crime amounted only to manslaughter.
The learned judge having summed up the evidence,
The jury retired to consider their verdict, but had no
returned when we went to press.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
TILL STEALING,

John Hall and Daniel George were indicted for attempt-
ing to steal certain moneys from the shop of the prosecutor.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner Hall
entered tie shop, 68, Leadenhall-atreet, occupied as a sta-
tioner's, and asked to be served with a sheet of writing
paper. He was supplied with the article and left the shop,
but in a short time returned and said the paper was not the
required. The wife of the prosecutor, who served the man,
took him to the end of the shop to select what he wanted
from the stock. While she was so engaged the prisoner
George cane in, and after waiting a short time she saw hies
reach over the counter and take from the till a bag contain-
ing 56 sovereigns. She ran towards him and seized him,
and between them they managed to get the money out of the
bag, whici was thrown on the counter. While she was
engaged in the struggle with the man a person entered the
shop, and she called to him to lock the door, which was
done, and a constable arriving, both prisoners were taken
into custody.

The jury found both prisoners guilty.
The Recorder sentenced them to nine months' imprison.

POLICE INTEL LIG E N CE.—( .77ds Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF.—John Kew, 15, was charged
by Felix Bl' Mahon, 165 C, with stealing a large piece of
cheese from the window of a shop in Grafton-street.
Mickleborough, a constable of the A division, said the
lad had been convicted at Bow-street aud also at that court.
The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for
six m' nths with hard labour.

WORK FOR THE EXHIBITION—A DEAR PAIR OF
BOOTB.--In a case which occurred before Mr. Tyrwbitt
yesterday, being a complaint by Mr. Atloff, bootmaker, of
Bond-street, against a workman named John Deighton for
detaining a pair of boots and the materials for a pair of side
spring boots, it was elicited that the defendant was to have
.£7 for making the boots, they being intended for the
forthcoming Exhibition.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the amount was very exces-
sive.

TDIS DAPS SHIPPING.

The defendant said he was a first-class workman, and he
had known £l2 to bo paid to a workman for a pair of boots
for a similar purpose.
The defendant tried to make out that he had a lien on the
materials, but Mr. Tyrwhitt, considering he had failed in
doing so, ordered the materials claimed by Mr. Atloff to be
given up.

The settlement of the Lincoln and Reading accounts at-
tracted' a large attendance at Tattersall's this afternoon,
and, from the activity shown by the majority present, both
meetings must have turned up "trump cards" for the
backers. After the usual waste of time consumed in the
settling, occasioned by the unnecessary number of agents,
the business upon forthcoming events was entered into, but
with little or no spirit. The Nottingham Handicap was
introduced, but only one animal appeared to find favour
with the speculative, Nightingale, who was in much re-
quest in the City this morning, and 4 to 1 taken eagerly,
being freely supported at sto 2. The Liverpool Steeple-
chase gave evidence of "want of confidence." Many
would, but were intimidated. For instance, at the Club
Jealousy was "put in," a la Dutch auction, at 20 to 1, and
after some finessing 25 to 1 was laid; but subsequently the
layer cooled down, and she was backed at 20 to 1; but
those, it appeared, who performed in the City had occasion
to seek the wise men of the West, and readily accepted 100
to 6. Beyond this movement little or nothing was done.
For the Northampton Stakes and the Metropolitan a couple
each were supported at the odds given in our index.
THE Two THOUSAND GUIKEAS.—OId Calabar did not
appear in much request, 100 to 30 being repeatedly offered
at the close of the room without a reply ; the same demon-
stration, as will be seen from our return, was exhibited
against him for the Derby. The Marquis appears, from
the eagerness of his supporters, to have recovered his tem.
per, or the confidence of his trainer, 7 to 1 having been re-
peatedly taken about him by those who are accredited to
know. 10 to 1 was accepted about Wingrave, and Hubert
was in force at 100 to 8.

THE CHESTER CuP.—The quotations given below will
fully represent the business transacted upon this "puzzle."
THE DERBY.—OId Calabar appeared to have a host of
opponents. After repeated offers of his closing price last
Thursday, without meeting with a customer, the layers
gained heart, and at last 9 to 1 was laid to £75, which we
believe was the only transaction in which Sir R. Bulkeley'■
colt figured. Ensign was backed for money at 16 to 1, and
Malek at 25 to 1. From the outside division Caterer and
Hubert were in most request, the former being freely sup-
ported at 25 to 1, and the latter at 33. Vanguard was
mentioned, as also Cellarius, at their quoted odds. Mr
Ward's Ellangowan was inquired after and backed at
3,500 to 35, and similar odds were taken about the French
representative, Choisy le Roi.

BETTING AT M ANCHESTER—MONDAT.
For the Nottingham Handicap Ducat and Miss Eva colt
were alternate favourites ; 7 to 2 was, during the day, taken
about each of them; of course one receded a little as the
other advanced ; but at the close Miss Eva colt was in the
ascendant. A little was done on : Nightingale and Don-
caster. For the Little John Stakes, the same thing oc-
curred with Princess Louisa and Livingstone, 3 to 1 being
taken about each of them, and closing at 3 to 1 (offered) on
the field. Phantom was backed for the City and Suburban,
and for the Chester Cup Agag had a few friends. For the
Grand National, although 10 to 1 was taken about The
Dane, the only animal in force was The Huntsman.

THE UNDERGROUND RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the
open cutting of the line of the above railway from Ring's-
cross to Bagnigge-wells-road, opposite the Police-court,
was completed. A brick wall, about eight feet high above
the roadway, is substantially built the whole distance from
the Cross to Bagnigge- wells-road. At this spot commences
th

,e portion of the line which passes underground through
he tunnel opposite Clerkenwell Workhouse,. which part of
he tunnel is completed. The first arch of the communion-
ion between the road and the tunnel was yesterday locked,
as expressed by the navvies. The ethers will be rapidly
carried to the proposed terminus adjoining Farringdon-
street, on the north side of Holborn, and which was com-
menced on Saturday last. Considerable progress has been
made in the construction of the open cutting along the Fleet
Valley, from the Sessions House to Farringdon-street.
FOOT RACE BETWEEN DEEBFOOT AND W. LANG.

—A six mile race came off at Mr. Baum's enclosed pedes-
trian ground, Hackney Wick, yesterday afternoon, between
Deerfoot, the celebrated Indian runner, and William Lang,
of Middlesborough. This is the last of the Indian's matches
at any of the London grounds, he being engaged in a num-
ber of "gate-money performances" at Leeds and numerous
other places. The stake was £5O. To complete the dis-
tance the men had to make the circuit of the course fqrty-
one times. Lang's height is sft 7in, while that of the Indian
is sft llin. A good deal of speculation took place on the
result, Deerfoot being the favourite. The men got off on
very easy terms, and one of the most exciting races ever
witnessed took place between them, the men passing and
re-passing each other until they had run five miles and a
quarter, when Lang, who had run himself to a standstill,
gave up, and Deerfoot finished by himself. Time, 311
minutes.

, MELANCHOLY DEATH BY DROWNING OF A SENIOR
MEMBER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.—We have re-
ceived intelligence of the death by drowning of Mr. George
Rankine Luke, M.A., student and tutor of Christ Church.
A waterman was steering a boat down the river Isis yes-
terday afternoon, and when in Kennington Reach he dis-
covered an outrigger dingey turned upside down. The
waterman raised an alarm, and the drags were procured.
The conjectures of those on the spot were speedily realised
by the discovery of the corpse of Mr. Luke, which was taken
to the Isis Tavern, Iffley Island, at Kennington, to await
the coroner's inquisition. Every effort was made to restore
animation. Mr. Luke was known as a man of great ability
in the university, havingin 1858 gained the Gaisford prize;
in 1859 the Ireland scholarship; and subsequently been
elected from Balliol to a studentship at Christ Church. Mr.
Luke was generally respected, and great anticipations were
entertained of his usefulness by the college of which he was
a member,
