authorised agent of the State of Texas, thus increasing
the aggregate registered debt to $67,560,395 26c. The

TROTTING EXPOSURES.

THE FLYING CLOUD AND JOCKEY MA.TCH,AT NEWTON,

zif 1352.

Some rather startling disclosures relative to this well-
remembered match were made at the Birminghain Dis-
trict Court of Bankruptcy, before Mr. Commissioner
Balguy, on Friday week, the 28th of Janntry, in the
case of James Ford, of Wolverhampton, cattle dealer,
at a meeting for the choice of assignees. Mr. Knight
appeared for the petitioning creditor, andiAir. Solomons
(of the firm of J. and S. Solomons, solicitors, London).
Proof was tendered on behalf of Mr. Levi, clothier,
of London, for 2301., upon two bills of exchange ; but
this gave rise to an objection, on the ground that no con-
sideration had been given for the bills. The bankrupt,
in his examination, said, " The signatures on the two
bills now produced are mine ; one is for 1001., and the
other for 1301. The one dated 4th October is payable
three days after date for 1301., and the other, bearing
date four days after at fourteen days after date, both
drawn in favour of Abraham Simmonds, who is a part-
ner of Levi's. I did not owe him a farthing when I
gave him the bills. Simmonds came to my house
at Wolverhampton in September, and asked me if I
had not got a pony. I replied in the affirmative;
upon which he observed to me that he had gat
a very good horse, and then asked me to hiv/
a sham match with him, which I agreed to; ani the a
nouncement was made. It was arranged between r
that my pony should win. A day or two before he men-
tioned that he did not know much good of me, and that,
if my pony won, as was agreed upon, I should draw
4601., and he begged that I would give him bills fcr
half the amount, which I consented to—those now pro-
duced. He afterwards backed my pony, by his friends,
at 10 to 1, and hearing this, I locked my stable door,
and refused to let the pony start. On the night the race
was to have been run I asked for the bills back, and
Simmonds said I should have them the next day. I did
not draw one farthing from the pretended race. I would
not let my pony run when I found that the other party
were backing the pony at such outrageous odds." Mr.
Solomons distinctly denied that Simmonds was a part-

those of the preceding week.
OBELISK IN WHITECHAPEL.—The great Obelisk ex.
hibited at the Crystal Palace,. in 1851, and which it was
at one time feared would leave the country, has been
purchased by the inhabitants of Whitechapel. It is now
being erected in the centre of the haymarket.
FIRE AT DARLEY MAIN COLLIERY, BARNSLEY.—We
are sorry to say that all attempts to extinguish the fire
which has been going on in the workings aeDarley Main
for the last fortnight has proved ineffectual. A large
number of hands have been thrown out of employment.

places, and the limb was bleeding He was again taken
into the house. The old man said he could not walk
home, and as twelve o'clock drew nigh the police were
called in. They helped to get him out of the house, and
left him on the pavement outside and went on their
beats. He attracted the attention of a Marine going
by, who managed to carry him to the guard-house,
where a dottor saw him, but it did not seem that he
knew the limb was fractured. The officers procured a
wheelbarrow, and conducted the poor sufferer to the
station-house, and with his clothes on laid him idoctor bed.
There he remained three days, when another
visited him, and found him shivering from the cold, the
cell window being open, but seemed to have learnt little
more than the previous one respecting the unfortubate
man's broken leg. The police then communicated with
Captain Samuels, county magistrate, who proceeded to
the cell, the deceased being unable to move, and, after
