THE CROAGH PATRICK CASE AT GOODWOOD.

The final hearing of this case took place at Messrs.
Weatherby's office in London on Saturday, the 17th inst.,
before the Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Exeter, and the
Earl of Zetland, to whom it had been referred, and in the
presence of all the parties in the cause.
of the pro,t;euiLigS a written state-
ment was put in on behalf Of Mr. Blake, in which it was
submitted

" 1. That the objections of Capt. Little and Sir Joseph
Hawley not having been made till about six weeks after the
Goodwood races wore too late.

" 2. That the objections in each case having been made
after the races, the burthen of proof lay with the objectors,
and that, as when the case was partially heard before the
stewards of Goodwood Races at Doncaster, the objectors
failed to prove the disqualification of Croagh Patrick, and
at the same time declared that they had no further evidence
to produce the complaint ought to have been then dis-
missed."

After this paper had been read at length and the points
raised had been discussed for some time by all the parties
present, the room was cleared. _ _ _

The referees having consulted together, their lordships
agreed upon the following decision :-
44 Having considered the preliminary objections raised on
behalf of Mr. Blake, we are of opinion that the fact of the
complaint having alleged at Doncaster that they had no
further evidence to produce, does not preclude us from en-
tering into the merits of the whole case, which, as we un-
derstand, has been referred to us by consent of all parties
But we have much greater doubt as to the objection taken
in point of time. We think it matter of regret that there
should be no definite rule as to the limit of time within
which an objection must be taken, in such cases as the
present, and we strongly recommend that the Jockey Club
should take this question into their early consideration.
" Rule 17, applying to fraudulent entry of a horse by a
false description; appears to be one of an unexceptionable
character, and we are not of opinion that the present case
can be fairly brought under that rule. On the other hand,
the Goodwood rule would appear to imply that an objectioA
should he taken in sufficient time to admit of a horse ob-
jected to being placed last in the race ; and upon these con-
siderations we do not think that we should be justified in
entering upon the merits of the case with a view of dis-
qualifying Croagh Patrick.—(Signed) DERBY, EXETER,
ZETLAND."

THE KENNINGTON TRAMWAY.--Last evening a
special meeting of the vestry of St. Mary's, Lambeth, was
held at the Vestry-hall, Kennington, to consider the ad-
visability of requesting Mr. Train to take up the tramway
at the expiration of three months. Mr. Williams was in
the chair. Mr. Goddard said the tramway was a nuisance,
and the vestry had been threatened with actions for compen-
sation. In the late trial the judge refused to pass sentence
upon the vestrymen ; but if the obstruction was continued
that obstruction would bo taken into consideration. He
thought that, as Mr. Train had complied with every do-.
mend of the vestry, there would be no animus if they gave
Mr. Train three months' notice to take up the tramway, as
it would be better to give the notice than to take advan-
tage of any technical objection. If the vestry continued the
tramway, they would incur a vast amount of responsibility.
He then moved—" That Mr. Train be served with notice to
take up the tramway at the expiration of three months from
the present time."—Mr. Blake seconded the motion.—Mr.
Roads moved " That Mr. Train take up the tramway forth-
with."—Mr. Fowler seconded the amendment.—After ad-
dresses from Mr. Doulton, M.P., Mr. Hills, Mr. Tayler,
Mr. Hall, and others, the consideration of the question was
postponed, after a division, till after the motion for a new
trial at westraintiter.

The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. George
L. G. Bowyear, went yesterday afternoon, from
Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, where her crew
will be paid off, and she will be recommissioned.
The Racehorse, 4, screw steam gunvessel, 6,945
tons, 200-horse power, Commander C. R. F. Boxer,
has been brought down from her moorings 'among
the despatch gunvessels of the first division of the
steam reserve at Sheerness, and has moored at her
own anchors in the stream, under theeye of theCom-
mander-in-Chief. Her officers have nearly all joined.
The Cormorant, 4, screw steam gunvessel, Com-
mander C. M. Buckle, is also lying at anchor in the
stream. Both the Racehorse and the Cormorant
will probably figure prominently in the Naval
Volunteer review at Southend, which will take
place next month.
The Controller of the Navy, Admiral-R. Spencer
Robinson, visited Sheerness Dockyard on Wednes-
day, where he was received by Captain-Superin-
tendent C. Wire, aide-de-camp, Capt. Thompson, of
the steam reserve, and the officials of the yard. The
gallant admiral proceeded to the office of the Capt.-
Superintendent, after which he inspected No. 2
dock, in which it is intended that an iron-cased
vessel shall be built. This dock is admirably
adapted for the purpose, and only requires some
trifling additions to be made before the building of
the vessel is commenced. The other docks were
also inspected, after which Admiral Robinson was
taken on board the iron-cased ship Resistance,4lB,
600 horse power, which is being fitted for the pen-
nant in the harbour. The gallant Admiral gave
orders that the Chesapeake, 51, screw steam fri-
gate, should be broken up, owing to the great de-
fects in her timbers. It is believed that the
Terrible, 21, paddlewheel, will meet the same fate,
as she is rotten.

The shipwrights of Sheerness dockyard having,
through their officers, petitioned the Admiralty to
be employed in building iron vessels, their lord-
ships have expressed their gratification at finding
that those workmen wish to he so employed, and
will afford facilities to meet their views as oppor-
tunities may arise. It is considered by the heads
of private as well as public establishments that the
general work of iron shipbuilding will be better
performed by shipwrights than by any other men,
as they arc thoroughly familiarised with the form
the various parts of a vessel should present, and the
best modes of combination to secure uniform strength.
The hired troopship Akbar, 819 tons, Captain
Pizzey, belonging to Messrs. Lascomb, which
arrived in the Thames, with troops from Ceylon,
on the 21st instant, landed her detachments at
Government Quay, Gravesend, yesterday, when
the troops proceeded immediately to Chatham
garrison. The Akbar sailed from Colombo on the
9th of Jan. last, and reached the Cape of Good Hope
on the 25th of Feb. She sailed thence on the 28th,
touched at St. Helena on the 13th of March, left the
same day, and crossed the line on the 24th March.
From the Cape frequent calms and light easterly
winds were experienced, which prolonged the pas-
sage from Ceylon to the Thames to 133 days. The
troops brought home include 77 non-commissioned
officers and men of the 50th Queen's Own Regiment,
6 men of the Royal Artillery, 1 man of the Ceylon
Rifles, and 4 prisoners belonging to the 50th, under
sentence of court-martial. The whole are under the
command of Capt. E. F. Tranchill, Ceylon Rifles,
and Capt. M. S. M. G, A. Clarke, 50th Regiment,
and in medical charge of Staff Assist.-Surg. A. J.
Ferguson. Only one death occurred on board dur-
ing the voyage, that of Sergt. Murphy, 50th, who
died on the 16th ult. After the troops had been
medicallyinspected yesterday eight of the number
were admitted into Fort Pitt Hospital for treatment.
The Royal Artillery were forwarded to Woolwich.
The Akbar brings home a number of cases of articles
sent from Ceylon for the International Exhibition,
together with a valuable cargo of cinnamon, coffee,
plumbago, and oil, and, as passengers, Mrs. Col.
Hamley and family, Mrs, Col. Maydwell and family,
and Mr. Stevens, merchant, with Mrs. Stevens and
family.
