SPORTING NOTES.

LEICESTER AND MANCHESTER.
I shall redeem my promise by briefly directing
attention to the programmes of the Leicester and Sr
Manchester Meetings, albeit so little interest do the
events appointed to be decided at either place ex-
cite that anticipatory remarks on them will be
scarcely expected. The list of sport at Leicester
contains twelve items, but the meeting most un-
fortunately clashes with the " last day" at Bed-
ford, and the opening day at Manchester, a cir-
cumstance which will contribute to shorten the
fields, and diminish the attendance of company.
Sharavogue heads the list of acceptances at Bst 121 b,
and the animals likely to be pitted against him will,
despite his heavy impost, find in him a troublesome
opponent. Should he start, therefore, I shall, with
" Sam's" assistance, expect him to pull through.
In his default Lurley may prove the winner.
Sharavogue is, by the way, also entered for the
County Cup, which on paper looks a " certainty"
for him. This event and the Handicap are to be
decided on the same day ; whether he will do
battle for both I am, of course, unable to determine.
Among the nominations to the Two-Year-Old
Stakes are Cimicina, Rambling Katie, Pole
Star, Lord Alfred, Jack Sheppard, and Mrs. Rigby.
The last-mentioned will start " unpenalised ;" and
should her two "severe heats" with Ellermire over
the hard ground at Doncaster have produced no
stiffening effect on her, I shall, should she go to
the post, select her against the field. The Belvoir
Stakes I shall not touch upon.

Among the " rips" likely to compete for the
Scurry Handicap, Butterfly and Game Chicken
may show to good advantage. The 10 Sovs. Han-
dicap may be placed to the credit of either Bright
Phoebus or The Poet.
..

Sport is generally pretty good at Manchester,
and the betting somewhat brisk. The meeting
appointed to take place on Thursday and Friday is
likely to show few shortcomings in these respects.
Cherry Brandy's running at Doncaster last week
was sufficiently good to induce me to place faith in
his ability to concede weight to the "youngsters"
likely to oppose him for the Chesterfield Handicap.
He will, however, encounter powerful Resistance,
and His Piper may sound his retreat. For the
Wilton Handicap I shall select The Little Fawn
and Jetty Treffz. Black Doctor has been so little
worked this year that I am induced to place him
under suspicion. Hazlenut and Patience are en-
titled to favourable notice for the Welter Handi-
cap. From the twenty-five animals weighted for
the Northern Metropolitan, I select Lough Bawn,
Helena, Maid of Team Valley, Domino, and
Pumicestone, as forming a "lot" most likely to
furnish the winner.
I have not yet seen the weights for the Grand
Stand Stakes and the Northern Subscription Han-
dicap. A FRESH MAN,
September 19.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) I
25

THE EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT
MURDER.

It appears from inquiries instituted this morning that
the unfortunate gentleman, Mr. Willoughby, who dis-
charged a pistol at Mr. Giffard, the barrister, while
sitting in the Old Court, is related to Mr. Alderman
Kennedy, and it appears that he has been for some time
in an unsound state of mind.

Mr. Giffard was in court this morning, and it is satis-
factory to be enabled to state that he appears to have
received very slight injury.
The unfortunate gentleman is a clergyman, and holder
of two livings.
Since his committal to Newgate his conduct has not
been at all particular. After his removal to the cell
where he was locked up, he became somewhat excited,
but not more so than prisoners under charge generally

John Smith, 19, carrier, William, Watts, 22, la-
bourer, and Henry Luke, 19, labourer, were indicted,
Smith for stealing 121 yards of silk, value 361. 11s. Bd.,
the property of John Gillard, his master, and the others
with having received the goods.
Mr. Ryland prosecuted, Mr. Payne was for Luke,
Mr. O'Brien for Smith, and Mr. Sleigh for Watts.
It appeared that Smith was in the employment of a
carrier, and amongst other goods which he had to de-
liver was a box of silk from Bridgewater, to Messrs.
Cook, of St. Paul's Churchyard. Luke and Smith had
been seen in company upon the day Smith had the box
of silk. Upon that day Smith left his horse and cart,
which was subsequently found at the green-yard. Upon I
that day Luke was apprehended by the police in posses- I
sion of some of the property, and then said he had found
the box in the street. When Smith was taken in charge
he gave as his reason for leaving his cart that, having
missed the box from it, he was afraid to come home.
With regard to Watts, nothing was proved except that
he was seen in their company.
The evidence as to the identity of the silk not being
very clear, the prisoners were acquitted.
