for the prosecution; Mr. Torr defended the prisoner Grey,
Mr. Littler Channon, and Dr. Commins James.
Mr. Critchley was a pawnbroker in Liverpool, and at the
time of the burglary the prisoner Channon was employed
in his establishment, and had been so for some time. The
burglary was committed by some person concealed within
the premises, who had broken out, so as to constitute the
offence, and within a day of the occurrence Channon was
in the company of Grey, who was at that time in Liver-
pool. About eight o'clock on the evening of the 2d of
January the shop was closed, and a boy named Bethel
searched the pledge-boxes and put up the shutters, while
Channon stood at the shop door, so that no one could have
entered without his knowledge, and it was suggested that
the prisoner Grey was secreted in one of the pledge-boxes
which the boy did not afterwards examine. About half-
past 1 in the morning the housekeeper, Mrs. Kent, was
awakened by the loud barking of a dog which lay in the par-
lour at the back of the shop, and the door of which was
locked. She woke Channon, and they went down into the
parlour with a lighted candle, and Channon coaxed the dog
quiet, and, looking into the dark shop with the lighted can-
dle in his hand, told Mrs. Kent that all was right. They then
went to sleep again, and at 5 o'clock in the morning the po-
lice found the door of the shop into the passage open, and
thereupon roused them up again. The door had been opened
from the inside by forcing off a padlock, and probably the
noise of doing that had disturbed the dog. It was found
the next day that Grey had gone to London, and on the sth
a box arrived from Liverpool at his lodgings there in Chapel-
street, Tottenham-court-road. A few days after the box
James arrived in the Chapel-street lodgings, Grey living
there under the name of Bennett, and James under that of
Selby. The men then proceeded to dispose of the property.
A ring was given to a Mrs. Hillyard, the wife of a publican.
The prisoner James induced a man named Hill to pledge with
a Mr. Walter, a pawnbroker, articles to the value of £75,
and he himself disposed of rings to the value of £35 to At-
tenborough, the pawnbroker. The rest of the property
they had pledged at Portsmouth, Southampton, Southsea,
and other places. Grey was arrested in London by Carlisle,
a detective officer. The officer saw him in Drummond-
street with Douglas, from whom he turned quickly away,
when he caught sight of the officer. Carlisle followed him,
and said, " Here, my gentleman," when he turned:round
and said, " What charge do you want me for, Mr. Car-
lisle ?" The officer M'Vetey arrested Douglas, and both
prisoners were put into a cab. Grey put something into his
mouth, and Carlisle put up both windows and desired him
to take it out. He took out a sovereign and said, " Carlisle,
don't think I am a d— fool to keep any of the stuff
about me." He said to Douglas, " You be a man ; know
nothing ; say nothing ; watch me, and see how I will do.',
On the way from London to Liverpool in the train he said,
jocularly, to Douglas, "If we are Mound guilty, you will
get six years and I will get twenty ; and we shall have to
put up with it. Inspector Jermyns, of the Portsmouth po-
lice, searched the lodgings of the prisoner James in South-
sea, andfound a tin case there containing some gold chains,
a gold locket, and others of the articles lost.
After the addresses of the learned counsel and the sum-
ing up of his lordship,

The jury, after a deliberation of about 20 minutes, found
a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners.
Grey and James were sentenced to 14 years' penal servi-
tude each, and Channon to 12 years.
On the conclusion of the case his Lordship called the
two officers, Carlisle and M'Vetey, into tho witness-box,
and, remarking, that he could not speak in too high terms of
their conduct in the case, ordered them to receive a each.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, THURSDAY.

From the Wetherby, Lewes, and Reading meetings being
on, the attendance of subscribers was confined to about a
dozen old stagers, and beyond a trifling outlay on Mail
Train for the Northamptonshire Stakes at 12 to 1, not a bet
was booked. For the Ten Thousand 7 to 2 was the highest
offer against Breadalbano, who in the morning at the Club
was backed for upwards of £4OO at that price, and let off
with a rising tendency. For the Derby, at the same place,
3,000 to 100 were laid against Chattanooga. The quota-
tions on the other races were unchanged ; but we should
state that Thalestris, Lion, and Arcturus were scratched
for the Northamptonshire Stakes yesterday morning.

THE GRAND NATIONAL HUNT STEEPLE-
CHASES.

The success of Wednesday was more complete than we
at first supposed; nearly 40,000 people are estimated to have
been present on the ground, and the stand receipts were
close upon £6OO, £5O in addition being taken for the car-
riages. The only thing wanting was the brilliant sunshine
we were favoured with to-day (Thursday).- The air was
like May or June, and it was strange to hear that there
had been snow in London. The only race of interest to-
day was the Great Yorkshire open handicap, which afforded
a very brilliant finish between King of Hearts and Creole,
the former winning by a head. The rest were farmers'
events. The only drawback lo the success of the meeting
has been the sad want of punctuality in keeping the hour
fixed on the card. The stewards seemed unable to keep
any regularity in this respect, and the proverbial dilatori-
ness of gentlemen jockeys was allowed the utmost limit.
The Bramham Moor Cup, of at least 60 sovs, given by the
town and neighbourhood of Wetherby, added to a sweep-
stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, for hunters ; to be ridden by
gentlemen or by farmers. Distance, about four miles. 7
subs.

The following also ran :—Cock Robin, King Arthur,
Buceleueb, and Maria.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Buccleuch, 100 to 30 each agst Bryan
and Maria.

Bryan took a commanding lead, with nothing else near
him, the others, apparently under the impression that it was
no start, pulling up, but upon finding their mistake, going
on again. It was too late; however, to reach Bryan, who,
though passed at one time by Hinda, soon resumed his lead,
and won easily by six lengths. Magpie was a bad third.
An objection to the start was overruled.
The Great Yorkshire Open Handicap Steeplechase, of 10
sovs each, h ft, with 100 sovs added. About four miles.
20 subs.

Foresight and Fly-by-Night also ran.

Betting-6 to 5 agst Creole, 4to 1 each agst Bridegroom
and King of Hearts, sto 1 agst Fly-by-Night, and 6 to 1
agst

Foresight rushed to the front, followed by R.M.D.,
Rathronan, Creole, and Bridegroom, Fly-by-Night bringing
up the rear. The leader continued the running until falling
apt the first fence after passing the stand. He left Bride-
groom in the van, who went on with Creole in attendance,
close up with whom were R.M.D. and King of Hearts,
Fly-by-Night retiring about this point. On the far side the
last time round King of Hearts improved his position,
and a very fine race ensued between him, Creole, and
R.M.D., Mr. Welfitt's horse coming with great gameness at
last, but failing to reach King of Hearts, who won by a
head, R.M.D. finishing three-parts of a length behind
Creole.

The Dealers' Stakes, of 5 sovs each, with 25 added ; the
winner to be sold 150 sovs ; if for 100 sovs, allowed
71b ; five-yr-olds to carry 11st ; six-yr-olds, 11st 91b ;
aged, 12st. Winners of 50 sovs 51b extra, of 100 sovs,
or upwards, 101 b extra ; half-breds allowed 71b. About

Chain Jumper and Magician also ran.
Betting—Even on Miss Joyce, 3 to 1 agst Magician, sto
1 agst Miss Active, and 6 to 1 agst Chain Jumper.
Miss Joyce and Miss Active jumped off with the lead,
and continued the running without being approached.
Chain Jumper refused, and Magician fell. The others
were never in the race, and Miss Joyce won a good race
from Miss Active by a neck. Maid of the Mill was a very
bad third. The winner was not sold.

The Farmers' Open Steeplechase, with at least N soys
