SPORTING ;NOTES:

The Epsom Spring Meeting commences to-morrow, when
it is to be hoped that a change of weather will allow the
denizens of the " village " to enjoy their first " outing,"
and fill Mr. Dorling's exchequer, who has provided most
liberally for their amusement on Thursday and Friday
next. The list comprises the same races as last year, the
City and Suburban and the Two Year Old Stakes being the
principal items set for decision on the first day, while, on
the second, the Metropolitan, the Welter Stakes, and New
Two Year Old Stakes will occapy most attention. The
City and Suburban is the principal event to be decided.
The field will number bteween thirty and forty, and the
following are those most likely to put in an appearance :
Palestro, Camerino, Sir William, Chere Arnie, Sawcutter,
Compiegne, Croagh Patrick, Copernicus, Suburban, Ant-
werp, Portland, Fitz-Avon, Frailty, Vancouver, Phantom,
Adrasta, oby Wild Payrell, out of Vest, fby Stockwell,
out of Babetto, c by Newminster out of Grey Hen, Ducat,
Real Jam, Tuberose, Earl of Surrey, Lord Stanley, Peahen,
Limosina, Victor, Knight of the Bath, Bosh, and Olive
Branch. Of theso Palestro, Camerino, and Sir William
and Sawcutter are the best of the top weights. Sir Wil-
liam may still be Mr. Merry's representative, as the
Test colt was beaten in his trial. Phantom has
had a long rest, and, if John Scott is in earnest,
ho should be very near winning, but I do not like
patched up horses. Vancouver, from his easy victory
in the St. Lis Handicap, should keep all the top
weights safe. Ducat, I anticipate, will reverse the Lincoln
running by beating Suburban. He has been very " fishy"
for the last week, and 2 to 1 was freely laid on Satur-
day that he did not see the starter. However, he seems to
be coming again, and I have no doubt that if he puts in an
appearance he will start first favourite, and pull oft the race.
Limosina and Olive Branch have been backed for heaps of
money, but they can have no chance with the light-
weighted four-year-olds. The Babette filly will find the
company here too good for her ; but still it would not sur-
prise me to see her run into a place. The lot that I expect
to furnish the winner are Ducat, Vancouver, Sawcutter,
Suburban, and Phantom. As I said above, if his owner
will only let him try, there is nothing to prevent
DUCAT

being returned as the winner of the City and Suburban.
In his absence, I shall pin my faith to VANCOUVER. With
regard to the Metropolitan, I can only repeat what I said
on Monday that Ducat shall again represent me, the next
in my estimation being Panique. Revolver will win the
New Two-year-old Stakes ; and if Lord Stamford sends
Maid of Honour, her ladyship will pull off the Inkerman
Plate. From information I have received from Newmarket
no horse could be doing better than Old Calabar, but there
are a few good bookmakers who have always money to lay.
My advice, therefore, is to let him alone till hia number goes
up at the post. The Marquis is very steady in the market,
and in all probability will start first favourite, which he is
nearly already. Buckstone is now backed freely at 6to 1,
and looks like seeing a shorter price. His trainer is very
confident, and only considers it a matter of health for his
fortunate owner to add another wreath to his laurels by
pulling off the blue ribbon of the turf.

A FRESH MAN.

NUAL STEEPLECHASES.--T

The United Hunt Stakes, a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each,

on again coming in sight Bird of Prey had the second place,
and Indecision third; soon afterwards Tom Moore fell, and
was out of the race. Black Eagle then dropped further
behind, and the other three went on as before. These four
got well ever the water jump, after which Bird of Prey
took up the running, and carried it on t 6 the last hurdle,
where The Flat passed him and won by four lengths.
Previous to starting an objection was lodged against The
Flat on the plea that he had won £5O.
The Borough Plate, a Handicap of 5 sous each, with 40

Betting-7 to 4 agst Piff Paff, 2to 1 agst Brunette, 4to
1 ags. Wee Willie, and 6 to 1 agst any other.
Gamecock, Quicksilver, and Piff Paff set off in front, but
before reaching the stand Gamecock took a decided lead,
Wee 'Willie runningintothe second place, with Quicksilver,
Miracle, and Piff Paff in close attendance, Broomstick and
Brunette waiting, After going round the top turn, Game-
cock increased his lead, the rest coming'in sight again as
before, with the exception of Miracle, who fell at the drop
fence. On arriving at the water jump Gamecock swerved,
ran up the course, and was turned back, but did not catch
his horses. Wee Willie cleared it about half a length in ad-
vance of Quicksilver, Broomstick, and Piff Paff following,
and, about four lengths from them, Brunette. Shortly
afterwards Broomstick and Quicksilver gave way to Piff
Paff and Brunette, who overhauled Wee Willie as he ap-
proached the fence into the winning field, and quitted him
at the last hurdle. The two then ran abreast for about 40
yards, when Brunette came away and won in a canter by
two lengths, Quicksilver finishing three lengths behind
Piff Paff. 'Wee Willie walked in ; no other passed the post.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Bounce, and sto 2 each agst Lin-
coln and The Martyr.

Waverley and Lincoln made running alternately until
they approached the Stand a second time, when Nimood
took second place and followed Waverley over the water
jump. The Marryr and Bounce then drew forward, and
the former took up the running at the turn. In the field on
the far side Martyr had a clear lead, Lincoln and Bounce
lying together about five lengths from him ; thus they
entered the winning field, where Lincoln went up to the
Martyr and appeared to have a chance, but he quickly
dropped away and suffered the Martyr to win easily by six
lengths. Lincoln's rider stopped his horse rather too sud-
denly, when Bounce came with a rush and saved his stake
by a neck.

the Lansdown Plate of 30 soya (handicap), added to a
sweepstakes of 3 sovs each. 2 miles. The winner to be

Tamworth and Comet lying next to the third fence, at which
the latter fell. No other change occurred till they same to
the water jump, which Gamecock, Forest Hind, and Cathe-
rine cleared nearly abreast, and Deception, Miracle, and
Tamworth did together, but not so well, Comet leaping it
about 100 yards behind them. Gamecock increased his
lead round the top turn, and entered the big field several
lengths in advance of Cathefine, who passed Forest Hind

CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wyldo.)
THE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE RUSSIAN BANK.

Wolff Harwitz, Abraham Josephson, and Chlom Reich-
berg were indicted for feloniously—without the authority of
a certain foreign state, to wit, the state of his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias—engraving and
making upon certain copper plates, stones, and other mate-
rials parts of a promissory note for the payment of money
in the Russian language, purporting to be the note of the
said foreign state. _ _

The present indictment referred to the circumstances
which took place in London, where it was alleged that per-
sons were getting the plates and other materials together.
There were also other indictments against the prisoners, in
conjunction with others, for certain transactions which are
alleged to have taken place at Birmingham.
The facts connected with this case have already appeared
at length in The Sun during the examination of the pri-
soner at the Mansion-house.

The trial will, it is fully expected, occupy two days.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Williams.)
POST• OFFICE PROSECUTION.

Alfred Banock, 34, letter sorter, was charged with steal-
ing a letter containing two half sovereigns and a number of
postage stamps.
Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Dickie defended the
prisoner.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was en-
gaged in sorting letters in one of the railway post-offices,
and in consequence of certain suspicions a trap letter
was sent, and cn the arrival of the train in Lon-
don the letter was missing. The prisoner was ac-
cused and searched at the General Post-office, when
a number of postage stamps were found in his pocket. The
stamps were tested, and found to be those which had been
enclosed in the letter, as they had all been marked with in-
visible ink with the word " Trent." _ _ _

The defence was, that some person had put the letter into
the pocket of his coat whioh had teen lying in the letter
van.

The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
CHARGE OP MANSLAUGHTER.
Two respectably dressed men named James Robert Wil-
son and Josiah Crown were indicted for causing the death
of Mr. John Smith.

Mr. David Drover said—l live at 9, Caroline-place, Cam-
berwell. On the 24th of December I was et the corner of
Southampton-street, Camberwell, at about 11 o'clock in the
morning. I saw an old gentleman in the act of crossing
the read, but ho was standing still in about the centre. I
heard a great shouting, and I turned round and saw a gig
approaching. The gig was about 40 yards from the old
gentleman when 1 first saw it. The two prisoners were in
it. Wilson was driving. The horse was going at about
12 miles an hour. When they arrived at about 12 yards
from the old gentleman they all but pulled up, and
approached at a slower rate, not exceeding seven miles
an hour. He stood still, brit the vehicle went over
the man. There was plenty of room on tither side
of the old gentleman for the gig to have passed.
I ran on the road, seized the horse'■ head, but the prisoners
had pulled up. As I could not find a policeman, I took
them both to the station. They were both very violent
that I would not let go the horse's head, They were both
drunk. I charged them with being drunk and incapable,
and they were locked up. lam used to horses. I have
rode and drove for more than 20 years.
Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine Defendants
were driving on the right side of the road when I first saw
them. The deceased was crossing over to the off side, and
the near wheel was about seven feet from the kerb when
the old man was struck. The deceased stood still as soon
as he heard the shouting of the defendants. There was
time for him to have got out of the way. He was about 40
yards from the gig when he stood still. I have not heard
that the defendants had offered the funds of the deceased
any amount of compensation. •
Mr. W. Twentyman, of Camberwell, gave similar evi-
dence, but stated that in his opinion Crown was the most
intoxicated of the two.

A witness proved that the deceased gentleman was neither
deaf nor infirm.

The surgeon said death was occasioned from the injuries
the unfortunate gentleman received in consequence of being
run over.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantino addressed the jury for the pri-
soners.
After a short deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON AWEMILE.— Owen COX, a
tall, dirty labouring man, was charged with the following
assault on a female :

The complainant said that yesterday evening she was in
a tavern in Little Windmill-street, having a baby in her
arms, when the prisoner, without the slightest provocation,
he being an entire stranger to her, struck her across the
arm with a bar of iron, the effect of it being to dislocate her
arm. She went to the Middlesex Hospital, and was told
to attend again to-day.

Caird, 33 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody.
Prisoner said he had no questions to ask.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week, for the at
tendance of the surgeon from the Middlesex Hospital.

MEDICAL AND LAW STUDENTS' AMUSEMENTS.—
William Johnson, Augustus Fowler, George Polking-
home, John Edwards, and William Walker, surgical and
law students, were charged with creating a disturbance, and
Johnson was further charged with being drunk.
Sergeant Fomett, C division, said, at half-past two this
morning he saw the defendants altogether outside of Scott's
refreshment house, Coventry-street, Fowler had a stick,
and was flourishing it about, and dancing and shouting.
He requested them to go away, and not make such a noise,
when they became more uproarious. He followed them
as far as Cranbourn-street, and as they still kept up the
noise, he took them into custody. Johnson and Fowler
were bailed out.

Mr. Knox-1 thought so, for one has a sprig of a flower
that don't look as if it had been in the station-house all
night.

Fornett said that Johnson made use of disgusting lan.
guage, and another officer said Johnson kicked his legs and
threw him down, and he was very violent all the way to
the station.

Mr. Knox said he hoped it was their first time of coming,
and that it would b 3 their last. The police had behaved
with forbearance towards them. Johnson was fined £3 or
14 days, and the others ordered to enter into their recog-
nisances.
