The defendant put in a, letter, which he said he had
received from the complainant, and of which the follow-
ing is a copy:—
"Sept. 2.
" consideration of receiving from yes a I. 0.
U. for 91. and 11. in cash, which I herewith acknowledge
the receipt of, I undertake not to take any proceedings
of any description against you respecting the 15 shares
of the Reading and Guildford Railway Company.

• Se WILLIAM WALKER.
" Mr. E. Stannard."
The LORD MAYOR said be thought the letter just read
took the cats out ,o(his hands completely.
Alderman WILSQN, who came in towards the conclu-
sion of the evidecce, and, heard the letter read, said he
feared it would prove fatal to a prosecution. lie had
never known of an!instancu in which such an admission
as it contained did not•counteract the intended effect of
an indictment.

Mr. Humphreys—l consider that document, which
was drawn up and kept in preparation by the defendant,
as an essential‘ part ,of the fraud, and I know your
Lordship and Mr. Alderman Wilson would not willingly
allow such a serious case to go off without strict exa-
mination. .

The LORD MAYOR—I shall remand the case till Wed-
nesday, and bind over the defendant in his own recog-
nizancee to appear here to answer the charge.
L. 4 MBETH.
Mr. Charles Batley, William Perowne, and William
Rufus Perowne, who were apprehended a fortnight ago on
a &large of robbing Mr. Freer, a Yorkshire farmer, of a
51. note, were again examined before Mr. Norton.
Mr. NORTON thought,it essential that Mr. Richard
Batley should be in attendant ;-and adjourned the cue
for his appearance to give evidence.
SOUTH WALK.

William Embleton, a tall, thin, well-tiressed man, ms
brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with plunder-
ing several coffee-shops.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that it was quite time that an
end was put to the career of the prisoner, who had been
carrying on a systematic course of robbery for a long
time. He (the magistrate) could assure the prisoner
that in the event of his conviction ho would be sent out
of the country.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.--YESTERDAY.
The advance of Nunnykirk—the result of some heavy
transactions at the Club-houses, was the great feature of
the Derby betting. Long odds, we believe, were obtained
in some quarters on Siturby, but this afternoon the
highest offer was 12 to I—this was taken immediately,
and so numerous were the commissions that before the
room closed he was quoted at Bto 1. This astounding
movement drove the first favourite back half a point,
but did not affect Tadmor. A few changes also took
place in some of the handicap?:—The Tartar gave way,
and Fernhill and Westow improved for the one at
Northampton ; Velox was bent to the right about.
Canezou underwent a further decline for the Metropo-
litan, and gave the second place in the betting to Do-
the-Boys; the investments on all these events were very
small. The only horses in favour for the Chester Cup
were Joe- o'. Sot, Halo, Blucher, and Rathmines. Latest
