LAMBETH.—Thomas Mitchell, a man of respectable I
appearance, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a
summons taken out against him by Mr. Madden, the
assistant officer of the parish of Kensington, for refusing
to support his father. Mr. Madden informed the ma-
gistrate that the father of the defendant, who was now
in his 65th year, had, from infirmities, become charge-
able to the parish of Kensington, and having four
sons, all able to contribute to his maintenance, the
guardians deemed it to be their duty to call on each
for their quota, so that the ratepayers might be
saved the burthen. One of the sons had been sum-
moned before the Petty Sessions at Kensington, and the
court made an order for the payment of two shillings a
week towards his father's support. Two others of the
sons resided at Brighton, and it was his (Mr. Madden!s)
intention to proceed against them at the sessions there
for their quota, and the defendant was summoned to this
court on account of his living in its district.
The father of the defendant, a decent-looking man,
corroborated Mr. Madden's statement, and said his son
was well able to contribute to his support, as he was in
in the receipt of two guineas a week and had no family.
The defendant pleaded inability to pay anything, and
said his father had brought all his troubles on by marry-
ing a young wife, to the perfect annoyance of all his
family.
Mr. Elliott, however, made an order on the defendant
for the payment of 2s. a week.

SPORTING IR TEL bIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

The double triumph which Virago achieved at Epsom
last Thursday was a severe blow to The Ring ; but,
from the smoothness with which the business of settling
was carried on, there was evidently no tightness with
regard to money ; it was " High 'Change" throughout
the afternoon. _ .

..CHESTER CUP.—AII sorts of quotations were afloat
about Newminster, but as nothing definite came under
our own observation, no place has been assigned him in
the subjoined list. In the City 25 to 1 was laid.
Marc Antony was 9 to 1, taken and offered. Baalbec
and Star of Surrey, the latter one of Virago's stable
companions, were in very strong favour ; the former
opened at 15 to 1, the latter at 20 to 1 ; at the close 12
to 1, in hundreds, was taken about each. Peggy re-
appeared at 25 to 1.
THE Two THOUSAND.—Ruby was again down to 9
to 2, offered ; 7 to 2 offered against Buiardo.
THE DERBY.-5 to 1 was taken to 4501. about Auto-
crat ; 050 to 100 and 1,200 to 200 about King Torn ; 15
to 2 to 1001., and 7 to 1 to 400 about Dervish ; 550 to
400 betted against the three 1,500 to 50, and 1,250 to
50 taken about Andover ; 1,000 to 30 Marsyas ; 1,000
to 30, and 1,500 to 50 twice about Ostrogoth; 875 to 25
twice about "Bessus ; 3,000 to 75 about Scythian ; and
1,000 to 25 The Knight of St. George.
New Warrior, halt-brother to Virago, was introduced
at 1,000 to 15, and such was the prestige attached to his,
pedigree that he quickly advanced to 4,000 to 100 taken.
It wilt be recollected that he made his debut on the turf
last August at Wolverhampton for the Chillington
Stakes. Corin, Bst 71b, was first, Wild Huntsman,
Bst 121 b (including 51b extra) second, New Warrior, Bst
71b, third, Rally, Bst 4ib, fourth. Corin won by a neck,
New Warrior finished is length and a half behind Wild
Huntsman, and was a length in advance of Rally.
Belgrave and Grey Plover were backed for 501. each
at 50 to 1, and 1,000 to 15 was taken about Marble Hill.
