To-day the police paid a visit to the "Rising Sun "

betting fraternity, and conveyed them to this court,
when, after some evidence, those found drinking at the
bar were discharged, and the remainder, who frequent a
room over the public-hcuse, were bound over in their
own recognisances, to the amount of 501., to appear on
Tuesday next to answer the charge of illegal betting.
One of the party was sent to prison for refusing to give
the requisite security for his appearance.
