lead, but was soon passed by Mentmore Lass, Haco,
who was last off, following the ruck at a long interval.
On nearing the foot of the hill, however, he gradually
gained ground, and on reaching the mile post was
second. By this time Mentmore Lass had lost the lead
through " hanging" to the right, and her place was
taken by Heapy. No further change of moment oc-
curred until they entered the straight, when Haco and
Heapy were quite beaten. Hungerford and Harbinger,
who had been lyinff off, now brought their colours to
the front, Ireland's Eye, Abdallah, and Grapeshot being
the next lot. From this point the race was no longerin
doubt. Hungerford went on with the lead, and won
very easily by a length. Same distance between second

hours with unabated persistency. Before noon, however,
the rain " took up," and the remainder of the day was
on the whole favourable. The sport was good, and the
attendance of company quite equal to an average.

GUILDHALL—STEALING PLATE AT HOTELS.—
Henry Johnson, who has been several times remanded,
was brought up for final examination on the charge of
stealing a silver fork and spoon from Anderton's Hotel,
and committed for trial.

CHARGE AGAINST THE POST-OFFICE. —A gentleman
applied for a summons against the secretary of the Mo-
ney-order Department of the General Post•office, under
the following circumstances :—He sent his valet to get
a money-order cashed, and a bad ss. piece was given in
exchange. On applying for the name of the clerk who
issued it, the secretary, or superintendent, refused to

give it.
Alderman Wire said it was a case for the County
Court,
Upon which the gentleman said he would rather have
had it settled in this court ; but he should certainly seek
redress in the County Court.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY
ATTEMPT AT EXTORTION BY A YOUTH.—John Yoread, a
youth about 15 years of age, was yesterday brought
before Mr. Hardwick for final examination on the charge
of having attempted to extort 1001. from Dr. Kahn,
proprietor of the Anatomical Museum, 280, Regent-
street, in whose service he was living as page.
The only additional evidence to that which appeared
at considerable length in this journal on Tuesday last
was the statement of Sergeant Godfrey, of the C division,
who, on being sworn, said—Dr. Kahn communicated
with me relative to the above charge, and I went with
Ryland, a brother officer, to his museum, and waited till
I saw the prisoner. On the morning of the 6th inst. the
prisoner came there about 11 o'clock. I was in the
back room, and I heard all the conversation detailed on
the former examination take place. I heard Dr. Kahn
ask him what situation he was going to take. Prisoner
said a gentleman had called on him that morning who
was to get him a situation of 201. a-year. Prisoner said
also that he was still ill and obliged to take medicine.
Dr. Kahn said, "How can you take a situation when
you are ill?" Prisoner said, "Oh, I must take medi-
cine in my situation, and lock it up in the house."
Dr. Kahn said, "Do you persist in saying what you
said to me on Saturday night ?" Prisoner replied,
" Yes." Dr. Kahn said, " What are you going to do ?"
and the prisoner said, " Why, I'll tell you, if you will
give me 1001. I won't say anything more about it."
Dr. Kahn expressed surprise, as he thought it was a
great deal of money, and asked prisoner if he would not
take 501. The prisoner said, " No, not less than 1001.,"
and that he knew a boy in Birmingham, who had got
2001. or 3001. from a gentleman in that way. Dr. Kahn
said, " Then when did the occurrence you spoke of take
place ?" Prisoner replied, "On Sunday, the 24th of
July, between half-past 11 and 12 in the morning, when
all the people had gone to church." (It was subsequently
proved by Godfrey that the gas-fitters were in the place
at the time.) Dr. Kahn then left the room and went up
stairs, and called me up to him and asked me to write
the receipt produced, which'l did. We then returned—
Dr. Kahn to the prisoner, and Ito the back room. I
saw Dr. Kahn hand the prisoner the receipt, and he
asked if he would take it in notes or gold. The
prisoner said it did not matter, he would have some
in notes, and some in gold. Dr. Kahn said, "I'll
give you 501. now, and I think that will be enough."
I saw the prisoner sign the receipt, on which Dr. Kahn
said he would call in his friend, and I immediately went
in. I said to the prisoner, "Is this your receipt ? "
He replied, "Yes." I told prisoner then who I was,
and that he must consider himself in my custody.
Prisoner then said, "Oh, for God's sake, what shall I
do ? Oh, my poor father ! Do forgive me, Dr. Kahn.
I didn't mean it." I was about to take prisoner out,
when he said, " Oh, do let me speak to Dr. Kahn. I
didn't mean it ; I didn't mean it." In going to the
station prisoner said, " I don't care now. I'm in it.
I'll speak the truth. He did do it to me." I said,
"Do you mean to say so still ?" He said, "Yes, more
than once." I said, " Are you sure it was more than
once he did it I" "He didn't exactly do it more than
once, but he took liberties with me." I then said,
" When did it take place ?" He said, "It was on
Sunday, the 24th of July, but I can't tell to a day or
two." I said, " When did he do it before?" He said,
" The first day I went there he took liberties with me
' and felt my legs, which I didn't like." Godfrey gave
further evidence, which is unfit for publication.
Police-constable Ryland corroborated the evidence of
Godfrey.
Mr. Lewis said, this completed the case. He should
be prepared on the trial to produce further evidence, if
necessary.
Mr. Solomon said, he was perfectly prepared with an
answer to the charge if the case had been further gone
into. He should, therefore, advise his client to reserve
his defence.
The depositions were then read by Mr. Leadly, the
chief clerk, the witnesses bound over to prosecute, and
the prisoner, who displayed the greatest nonchalance
during the investigation, was fully committed for trial.

SOUTHWARK.—THE CHOLERA AND NOXIOUS
MANUFACTURES.—Mr. Alfred Ebsworth, a surgeon, re-
siding in Trinity-street, Southwark, made application to
Mr. Combos under circumstances of a very urgent nature.
He stated, that in the immediate vicinity of his residence
there was an indiarubber waterproofing establishment,
the stench from which not only rendered the neighbour-
hood almost uninhabitable, but generated malaria that
was calculated to produce the most serious effects on the
health and even the lives of those who dwelt within its
influence. He had himself been called upon to attend
professionally several poor persons who had become
seriously ill in consequence of the factory being carried
on there ; and it was his opinion that, unless the nui-
sance were immediately removed, very fatal results must
ensue. _ _ _ _ _

Mr. Combe recollected that a similar complaint had
been made to him some time ago of the same premises,
and he then understood that the proprietor of the fac-
tory promised to put a stop to it.
Mr. Ebsworth —He has not done so.

Mr. Combe—Have you not a local board of health ?
Mr. Ebsworth—No. I have complained to the
board of guardians, but they told me they were unable
to do anything to abate the nuisance, although they
were aware that cases of cholera had recently occurred
in the neighbourhood.
Mr. Combe expressed his astonishment that under the
circumstances, the manufacture should not have been
put an end to, and he sent Murray, a warrant officer,
to inspect the spot and ascertain why the nuisance had
not been abated.

The officer went, but very soon returned, and said
that the proprietor of the premises refused to admit him;
but he added, that the stench was not now so bad as
when he was near the premises on Saturday last. He
also stated that there was a butcher's shop close to the
factory, and that the foul air so much injured the meat
that the butcher was sustaining a heavy loss.
After some conversation,

Mr. Ebsworth said—Cholera exists to a great extent
in Newington ; and, after the advice of the magistrate,
I certainly shall not apply to the parish authorities any
more, but will at once memorialise the Home Secretary
on the subject.
Mr. Holland, one of the churchwardens of St. Mary's,
Newington, soon after entered the court, and informed
the magistrate that, having had the particulars of the
case related to him by the parish officers, he bad issued
instructions to the clerk of the board to take immediate
steps for putting an end to the nuisance complained of,
and he assured Mr. Combe that every precaution had
already been taken to prevent the spread of cholera in
the parish.
