CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE EBOR HANDICAP.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Charles West pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a
diamond ring, the property of Mr, Cockayne, jeweller,
Fenchurch.street.

The prisoner went into the shop and asked to look at
some rings, and after examining them he left the shop stat-
ing that he would return again. As he was leaving the
shop the assistant noticed a common paste ring lying in the
tray, which had been substituted for a genuine one, valued
at about £B.

Mr. Pater asked that sentence might be deferred, in order
that the prisoner might give information that perhaps
would lead to the recovery of the property.
The application was granted.
Thomas Harrison, a traveller, pleaded guilty to a charge
of stealing 20 yards of silk, the property of Messrs. Ellis.
The prisoner was in the habit of calling for orders at the
warehouse of the prosecutor for fancy boxes, and from
time to time the goods were carried from the stock. The
pHs mer was watched and seen to purloin the goods in
question.

- Mr. Sleigh in defence, said the prisoner had previously
borne an exceedingly good character.

The Common Serjeant, in passing sertence, said that
the worst feature in the case was that other persons in the
prosecutor's employ might be suspected of the robbery. He
then ordered him 12 months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

Alexander M'Bride, warehouseman, pleaded guilty to an
indictment charging him with stealing 112 yards of silk,
value £22, and 92 yards of silk velvet, value £2O, with
other good a, the property of his employers, Messrs. Morri-
son and Co.

The Common Serjeant sentenced him to fix years' penal
servitude.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Ken.)
George Brown pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with uttering base coin.

Brennan, the officer attached to the Mint, said the pri-
soner was one of the most notorious "smashers" he had
ever known. He had already undergone a sentence of six
years' penal servitude, yet immediately he came out of pri-
son he resumed his old occupation of passing bad money.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr said the prisoner seemed deter-
mined tbat no amount of punishment should deter him
from pursuing his nefarious practices. At all events he
would prevent him carrying it on for some years to come.
He then sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for
the term of 15 years.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BEER-SHOP KEEPER CHARGED WITH RECEIVING
STOLEN GOODS.-Wm. Daws, the keeper of a beer-shop at
20, Herttord-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged with re-
ceiving a quantity of property supposed to be the produce of
a robbery, and Stephen Galvin, John Stroud, Wrn. Galvin,
and Henry Gerrard, lads, were charged with stealing a
quantity of boots, a portion of which were found at the first
prisoner's beer-shop. _

Mr, John Banyerfield, bootmaker, of 1, Upper Rathbone•
place, said he went to his shop and found the door un-
locked, and a lot of boots and shoes gone. He searched
the place but found no one there, and went to bed, but
afterwards heard some one in the house. On making an
examination of the premises he found that a padlock had
been taken off the front door, and Gerrard was in tho pas-
sage and said be had been pushed in by two men. He then
gave him in charge. The 15 pairs of boots and shoes pro-
duced were hik. property. _

. .
Sergeant Ellis Davis, 11 E, said he went to No. 20, Hert-
ford-street, a beer shop, kept by the prisoner Daws, and
asked him it some boots had been left there. After a little
hesitation he said " Yes.'' Inside the parlour he (the ser-
geant) found 12 pairs, some under the table. He then
asked him if he had a man named Cole living there, and he
said he thought not, but afterwards said the boots were left
there by Cole. He (the sergeant) then took him to the
station, and afterwards searched the place, and found a
quantity of other property in the house.
Reilly, 115 E, said he went to St. Pa'icras-street, and
found the two Galvins and Stroud in bed. There were
three pairs of new boots in the room, with a little dirt on
them. The lads said they bought the boots of a man in
Fitzroy-market. _

Wm. Galvin said he bought them of a man named
Cole in Daws' house.

The other prisoners said they also bought the boots found
with them.

The prisoners were remanded.

CAUTION TO OMNIBUS DRIVERS.—Thomas Thomas,
omnibus driver 15,531, was charged, at the instance of Mr.
William Love, chief officer of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, as follows :

George Choyce, one of the Royal Society's officers,
proved seeing the defendant driving a pair of horses
attached to an omnibus in Piccadilly. Observing one of
the horses pulling sideways as if flinching from the collar,
he went after the omnibus and stopped it, and then exa-
mined the horse, when he found several wounds on it—one
of them under the collar, which was pressing into it, and
evidently causing the horse great pain. He also found one
of the wounds had been smeared over with some composi-
tion, as if to screen it,

Defendant said the reason why the horse was pulling
sideways was because it was going down hill. He was
aware there was one wound.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Not one, but several.
Choyce said the defendant said his master was aware of
it, but that it was not so bad when he brought it out.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s. or a month, and
said the master ought to be punished also.

There are ten races set for decision to-morrow, including
the Great Ebor Handicap, the North of England Biennial
1 for two year olds, the Prince of Wales Stakes, and two
other two year old races. The entries for the Great Ebor
were not so numerous by 10 as last year, but, all things
considered, it seems a pretty fair acceptance when 27 stood
• out of the 64 horses weighted. No very large field need,
however, be expected to run, as the following stables have
two representatives :—Whitewall, Cape Flyaway and
Q. E. D. ; Mr. Saxon's, The Monk and Bally Edmond;
Col. Towneley's, Doefoot, and Hubert ; Lord Glasgow's,
The Drake and black mare by Voltigeur out of Makeless;
Godding's, Laughing Stock and Fitz-Eva; while the vete-
ran trainer of Ashgill has no fewer than five in his charge,
viz., Lady Trespass, Viscount Brignall, Springwell, York-
minster, and King of Kars. The weights remain in statu
quo, consequent on Ivanhoff, who carries the statutable
weight of Bst 121 b, accepting, and though his impost ap-
pears heavy for a four year old, he is not unfavourably in,
considering that he beat Tim Whiffler at Manchester,
giving him 181 b, which is like putting the Goodwood Cup
winner in here with 7st 11b, or 41b more than Carisbrook, a
weight Tim would doubtless carry to the goal successfully
were he engaged. From the state Fairwater was in at
Goodwood, she cannot now be fit; besides, taking
the line through Tim Whiffler, it ie not on the
cards for her to beat Ivanhoff. Flyaway, it will
be recollected, carried Bst 71b for this event last
year, and ran a fair third to Rising Sun and Lady Tres-
pass, giving them respectively 121 b and 51b, and he now
has to carry only Bst 91b, or equal weights with the latter,
which insures his beating Mr. Hudson's mare. Moreover,
it must be borne in mind that neither Bally Edmond nor
Virgilius had then any chance with him, though they re-
ceived 261 b and 311 b respectively, from which it must be
inferred that none of the 3-yr-olds can now beat him. That
Lord Derby's horse has retained his form this year was
proved at the York Spring Meeting by his beating Virgi-
liu s, Lady Ripon, and some others in a canter, and later by
his performance at Nottingham, where, though he failed to
pull through, it must be recollected that he was giving
Atherstone, who has shown the best handicap form of the
year, no less than 131 b, which, over so trying a course, was
not to be done with impunity. The Monk being engaged
in the Chesterfield, he will probably take his chance for
that race, and leave his master's interest to the care of
Bally Edmond, who being bred both by sire and dam—
Bantam and Chaseaway—to stay, must have a great chance,
as, compared with the top weighted horses, he carries no
1 more than a 3-yr-old weight. Doefoot is rumoured to be
" off," and Dulcibella cut such a bad figure at Stamford,
that, if her running there was correct, she can have no
chance. Carisbrook got at Liverpool more than a 61b
beating from Fairwater ; he consequently cannot beat
Ivanhoff, who can surely give 31b to Mr. Cartwright's filly.
Schism's day is past, and Watchfire, independent of his
not being within llb as good as Carisbrook, cannot hope
to beat Q. E. D., giving her 191 b, when at Goodwood all
he could do was to beat her at the difference for sex, and
would not even have succeeded in doing that ha not Ald-
croft been disappointed. If Viscount Brignall failed to
show any form in Reeves' hands at Epsom, he won't be
improved by galloping on either the high or the low
moor at Middleham. Conundrum and the Drake are both
troubled with the slows. Springwell was once good, but so
few patched up horses ever retain their action, it
will be as well to leave him alone till seen at the post.
Laughing Stock cannot beat his stable companion Fitz-
Eva, who being so much better in here than at Wolver-
hampton, where his stable companion Millionaire did duty,
may get a place. Yorkminster cannot complain of his im-
post, but is all to pieces. Makeless has often been as favour-
ably weighted as now without distinguishing himself.
Neither Rufus nor Dorking has ever shown himself to be
worth much, but I am told the former will run well.
Q. E. D.'s form, judging through her performance with
Watchfire, is not good enough to pull through such a race
as this. Pembroke has incurred a 10Ib penalty, but even
with that he is almost certain to be one of the first three, if
not the actual winner. The winner, I have no doubt,
will be
