held the stone between the blades of the forceps. During
the operation Mr. Cooke had several consultations with
Mr. Wakley Attempts were again made to sound for the
stone, and the gentlemen listened for the sound of stone.
I was one of those who listened, and I should say the sound
grated against a hard rough surface. The os sacrum would
not come within the definition of a hard rough sui face,
unless it was denuded. We listened by ear and by stethe-
scope, and both Mr. Cooke and Mr. Wakley examined the
child repeatedly after that. Mr. Cooke introduced the
forceps, and Mr. Thomas Wakley introduced his finger and
the knife I suppose for the purpose of extending the inci-
sion. After that Mr. Cooke again used the forceps. (A
pair of forceps was introduced to the witness.) That in-
strument is twice or thrice the size of the instrument
used. After Mr. Coo ke had used the forceps some time,
he turned round and asked Mr. Wakley to extract the
stone. Mr. Cooke was, no doubt, embarrassed at his
repeated failures to extract the stone, but I marvelled,
all things considered, at his coolness throughout
the operation. When be asked Mr. Wakley to search
for the stone, Mr. Wakley introduced his finger,
and the impression on my mind was that he also
introduced the forceps. That is my impression still. lam
perfectly certain that Mr. Wakley made use of an instru-
ment which at the time I believed was the forceps, aul
still believe it. At that time I had moved round to the
head of the table, or I should have been more positive. I
had become uneasy about the state of the child, and moved
round to the head of the table to feel its pulse. Mr.
Wakley's manipulations upon the child did not last be-
yond five or ten minutes at the very outside. After Mr.
Wakley had failed to extract the stone a syringe was
brought, and two or three ounces of fluid were introduced
into the wound. During the interval of sending for the
syringe the child recovered partially from the influence of
the chloroform. When the syringe was sent for it seemed
a very long time before it came, and I thought it never
was coming. After the bladder was injected I don't think
anything else was done, and it was thought proper to re-
move the child from the table and suspend the operation.
I am perfectly certain that Mr. Wakley jun., did use the
knife to the wound.

By Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—Whether Mr. Wakley made
any incision with the knife I cannot say, but I am positive
that he passed the knife with his finger into the wound.
At the conclusion of this witness's evidence the investi-
gation was adjourned till this day.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

The business that was transacted afforded little room
for comment.

In the anticipated absence of any worthy competitor
5 to 2 was betted on Bonnie Morn for the July Stakes.
The Knight of St. George was the only horse in demand
for the Worcestershire Stakes, and only two or three in-
vestments were made on him at the odds quoted.
Hungerford maintained his lead for the Liverpool Cup,
but was closely pressed by Heapy. Dr. O'Toole was
backed for some money at 8 to 1, and Talfourd was in
force at 20 to 1.

The betting on the Goodwood Stakes showed Diana
to be in the ascendant, and that renewed confidence was
placed in Tros. Heapy obtained some support at 10 to
1, and a small outlay indicated that some hope was
somewhere entertained of the notorious Nancy.
The principal bets on the St. Leger were 3 to 1 to
upwards of 2001. about Dervish, and 6 to 1 to a good
deal of money about the Trapper.

For the Derby Oulston was backed at 15 to 1, Bonnie
Morn and Dirk Hatteraick at 20 to 1 each, Strood qt 30
to 1, and Dr. Cooke, a new outsider, at 33 to 1. Moon-
beam, colt, backed for upwards of 0/. at Stockbridge
at 30 to 1, receded to 40 to 1 (taken and offered). 50 to 1
was laid to 1001. agst Rambling Katie, and 2,500 to 25
agst her winning Derby and Oaks.
The prices at the close were as follows :

DEATH OF MR. SAMUEL BEETON.—We regret to an-
nounce that this event took place somewhat suddenly
last Sunday morning. By a very extensive circle of
friends and acquaintance Mr. Beeton was held in the
warmest regard for his practical benevolence, cordial
sentiments, and strict sincerity. In the sporting world
he occupied a very prominent position--the strongest
testimony of the zeal with which he espoused the inte-
rests of the turf being in the establishment of the Great
Metropolitan Stakes, and in the general success of the
Epsom Spring Meeting.
