SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES—TUESDAY.
This meeting commenced yesterday under the stewardship
of the Baron de Tessier and Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Mr.
Clark officiating as judge, Mr. Farrell as clerk of the course,
and Mr. Perren as starter, with a strong bcdy of police of the A
division, under Inspectors Pearce Hughes, and May, which
force, by the way, is to be largely increased this day. The
arrangements comprehended several improvements already
noticed, and, in other respects, were on the same plan which
has hitherto proved so successful in securing amusement to the
spectators and maintaining order : they were not less effective
yesterday. The weather during the greater part of the day
was wet and cold, notwithstanding which, the attendance was
quite as numerous as can be expected on any day antecedent
to the Derby. The Grand Stand, which has largely increased
ices claims on public support, was, as usual, and as it ought to
be, patronised, by a large number of the nobility, the following
names having been handed to us as a small portion of those pre-
sent in the course of the afteenoon :
Duke of Montrose, Duke of Beaufort, Marquis of Exeter,
Lord Albemarle, Lord Jersey, Lord Verulam, Lord Maidstone,
Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord Villiers, Lord Kelburne, Lord South-
ampton, Baron lie Tessier, Sir F. Johnstone, Sir J. Shelley,
Sir G. Heathcote, Hon. General Grosvenor, Hon. G. S. I3yng,
Hon. Colonel Anson, and Hon. Captain Rous ; Messrs. Payne,
Grevlle, Thornhill, Batson, Shelley, Etwall, Hawker, Greene,
Worrell, J. Bayley, Portman, &e. &c. ,
The refreshment rooms were under the joint superintend-
ence of Mr. Careless, of the New York Coffee-house, Corn-
hill, and Mr. Hare, of the Roebuck, Richmond, whose ca-
tering at former meetings has proved so satisfactory to the
visitors. We have stated that the general arrangements were
on the same system as before, ;and as far as the Stewards and
their subordinates had power, they were made available to
the amusement and comfort of the public ; but the gentleman
who has succeeded to the property of the late Mr. Ladbroke
has not inherited with it his love of sport truly called "na-
tional," or his liberal feeling towards those by whom it is pa-
tronized; he has directly attacked the means of subsistence of

trattiens M closing the Warren. Thee proceeding, we under-
starlit, has been directed by religious, and we doubt not, con-
scientious motives, but John Bull is an awkward animal
to drive, and so long as racing is legalized by Act of Par-
liament, encouraged by Royal gifts, and sanctioned by the
presence of the great and noble of the land, it may be
fairly questeoned -whether violent measures will not have
a direct opposite effect to that intended. Having ad-
verted to this, as part of our duties connected with the meet-
ing, we Cili assure those accustomed to an annual treat on the
Derby day, that if tecy lose one item of their amusements, they
will gain one that throws that and every other into the shade :.__.
Her Majesty will gratify her subjects by attending, in company
with Prince Albert, and as the visit will be made at an early
hour, it will be neeessery for those who are anxious to get a
" good plate," to " take the road" betimes, and not to dwell
on it in the expectation of a sight of the Royal procession, for.
by so doing they w;11 c, eats a vast deal of annoyance to them_
selves and others, almost to a certainty be disappointed, and,
stale than all, lose the chance of witnessing her Majesty's ar-
rival en the course.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the Globe.)
The meeting at Exeter Hall yesterday was a grati-
fying and imposing spectacle, well worthy of the grace-
ful presence and presidency of the consort of our
Sovereign, and which would have been characterised,
but for one incident, by perfect unanimity. We
allude of course to the unhandsome treatment of Mr.
O'Connell by a noisy minority, and having alluded
to it, we leave its discredit with those who cannot
keep party feelings for places and occasions where
their exhibition is at least not an insult to a Royal per-
sonage who has studiously kept aloof from all similar
demonstrations, and an injury to a cause which
has nothing to do with any party animosities.
Turning, however, from what was pleasing and from
what was unpleasing in yesterday's proceedings, we
feel bound to inquire—How far were they practi-
cal And certainly, so far as they afford a demonstra-
tion of the sentiments of a great nation unanimous
in support of " its Government in any and every
measure which affords prospects of checking the slave-
trade—so far, certainly, a meeting like yesterday's can-
not but have its effect. It would least of all be lost on
such an acute and instructed observer as the present re-
presentative in England of the greatest continental
power—the power which, we cannot doubt, is destined
to take a part similar to our own in the abolition of
slavery in her own colonies, and the suppression of the
slave-trade universally.
(From the Standard.)
The debate in the House of Lords last night eli-
cited some curious phenomena of the administration
of justice is the Courts of Equity. It appears pretty
plainly that the improvement in the despatch of
business bears no proportion to the increase in the
number of Courts—as plainly that, notwithstanding
the complaints of Lord Eldon's slowness, which we
were accustomed to bear while that excellent man and
unequalled magistrate held the seals, very little depends
upon the habits of the Judge. As respects the increase
of Courts, our equi.ty proceedings seem to obey a law
very similar to that which governs the motion of projec-
tiles. Scientific men and practical gunners know that
the range of a missile is not extended in the common,
but in the subduplicate ratio of the force applied—thus,
if a force equivalent to four sends a ball 1000 yards,
it will require a force equivalent to 10 to send the same
ball 2,000 yards ; and so it seems is the case in the ad-
ministration of equity. We have now four Judges in
equity : less than 16 seem scarcely sufficient to get
through the business of the country in half the time now
occupied by equity suits, and after all, that would be no
very great relief to the suitors, considering the all but
infinite duration of these suits.
( From the Courier.)

The House of Lords was last night chiefly occupied
with the Administration of Justice Bill, to which Lord
-I.3roughum strongly objected in a speech of great length.
His chief objection appears to be the large addition of
judicial force which the Bid proposes to be made for the
disposal of present arrears, as well as to meet the increase
of business which the Lord Chancellor apprehends
wit be the resent of a greater despatch of cases. \V., how-
ever, do not exactly feel the force of the learned and
elequpet Ex•Chaneellor's objection, for it certainly
does appear to us that if the suitors become so nu-
mernn3 in any Court of Justice or Equity, that the
present judicial establishment is unable to give them
the attention te which they are entitled, and for
the dcspalch of which that establishment was instituted,
it ought to be rendered equal to the proper discharge of
this vary important duty. With respect to the Court
of Chancery, if the accumulation of its business cannot
be despatched by the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor,
we venturetosuggest that it might be well to inquire
befere appointing one or more assistant Judge?, whether
a more economical means might not be tried by way of
experiment.

INDIAN COURT MARTIAL.

FIVE NATIVES PUT TO DEATH BY A BRI
TISH OFFICER WITHOUT TRIAL.

Head Quarters, Bombay, March 24,1840.
At a General Court Martial assembled in Canton-
ment near Poona, on Monday the 30th day of Decem-
ber, 1839, and of which Major G. Browne, of her Ma-
jesty's 41st Regiment, is President ; Lieut. William
Gibbard, of the 16th Regiment Native Infantry, was
tried on the following charge, viz. :
Lieut. William Gibbard, 16th Regiment Native In-
fantry, placed in arrest, and brought to trial by order
of the Commander of the Forces, on the following
charge, viz. :

For highly irregular conduct, most disgraceful to
the character and reputation of an officer, i❑ having
betwixt the 22d and 31st December 1838, at or near
the village of Kowtannee, within the State of Sawant
Warree, when in command of a detachment of troops
on duty there, atrociously caused five persons who had
been taken prisoners by a party of irregular troops under
his command, to be summarily put to death, by being
shot, without due authority and warrant for so doing.
Adjutant General's Office, Bombay, 27th Sept., 1839.
By order of the Commander of the Forces.
(Signed) STRATFORD POWELL,
Lieut. Col. Adjt. Gen. of the Army.
Upon which charge the Court came to the following
decision :

Finding.—The Court having maturely weighed and
considered what has been adduced in support of the
prosecution, together with what the prisoner Lieutenant

RECOMMENDATION OF THE COURT.

Having thus performed its painful duty, the Court
is anxious to bring to the notice of the Commander of
the Forces, some circumstances of an extenuating
nature, which authorise its recommending the prisoner
to his favourable consideration, viz. the extraordinary
orders he received from the Political Superintendent of
the Sawant \Varree State ; the evident conviction that
he was acting in strict conformity with those orders ; the
approbation which be sought and received from the Politi-
cal Superintendent (under whose orders he acted), from his
own immediate Commanding officer,and those with whom
he associated, his youth, the activity and zeal he has
frequently displayed both prior to. and subsequent to
the 2-ith December. 12535, and, finally the high cha-
ielcter he has received fur humanity and gentleness to-
wards the natives generally.
The above reasons lead the Court to believe that the
lamentable error he has fallen into, was one of judgment.
only, and therefore to -recommend to the favourable
consideration of the Commander of the Forces, feeling
assured that the experience ho has so dearly earned, is
sufficient security against a recurrence of such a
misfortune.

Major and President.
REMATIKS BY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

The trial in the above case was closed previously to
my assuming command of the Army of this Presidency,
but circumstances have thrown on me the painful duty
of confirming tne finding and sentence, and it is with
deep regret I observe, that the proceedings develope
matter which make it impossible for one to accede to
the recommendation of the Court, or in any way to
avoid
,giving fuli effect to the award.
I am further concerned to remark, that evidence. re-
corded in the case imperatively demands that proceed.
ings shall be adopted to.vards another officer, that he
may have an opportunity of clearing his eonduct, or
that the ends of justice, and the interest of the public
service, may he vindicated.
(Signed) Tilos. M`MmioN,
Lieut.-Gen. and Conunander-in-Cliief.
The name of Lieutenant William Gibbard is to be
struck off the strength of the Army from this date.

HOW TO GET AN ESTATE FOR

NOTHING.

buy an estate for £loo,ooo
gut into possession somehow, and throw it into
Chancery for 24 years (a moderate estimate of
the length of a Chancery suit) ; I am then de-
creed to pay the purchase money as above, and
the interest thereon 120,009

X 220,000
In the mean time, I have placed the purchase
money o❑ interest with annual rests, which, in
the name time, amounts to' 322,510

Gained i'102,510

I thus get the estate for nothing, and 2,5101. besides to
fee lawyers, to the utter ruin of the vendor, who loses all

this amount, even supposing he can borrow money at 51.
per cent., by paying interest annually. But can he do
that ? Let the man whose means arc in Chancery answer
tins question. Neither is any abatement to be made from
my profit, on account of the remoteness of the period st
which the account is cloned ; for I have the usufruct and
increase in the value of the estate, which every purchaser
considers equivalent to the interest of his money, and that
even in a compound ratio ; for, besides the annual income
the Menaced value of the estate in growing timber, &c.,
I calculate on the benefit of that general accretion in the
value cf land which, co✓nmunibus annis, is sure to occur.—

11. in 24 years (per price) amounts to 3,2251. by
00,003-322,510/.

On Thursday last the Essex Union Hunt gave
a handsome dinner, at the Blue Boar Inn, Maldon, to J. Payne,
jun., in compliment for his exertions as manager of the bound.,
in which that gentleman had given universal satisfaction. There
were between seventy and eighty gentlemen present, C. co_
myns Parker, Esq., in the chair. The toast, the lively tale,
the sporting song, and the interesting anecdote, gave a peculiar
zest to the repast. The dinner was excellent, and the party
separated with a firm conviction that it was
" Better to hunt in fields for health unbought,
Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught."

OTTER FISHING." Here's one at least," ex-
claimed le. It was true • he had one of the otters fast ; but
the difficulty of holding him was not trifling. The fight was
exactly in thu style of a large and heavy fish; first he was
down to the bottom of the pool, then with the rapidity of
lightning, he rose at another part where he was least expeuted.
The contest was one of most singular dexterity on one part, and
of strength and agility to• the other. M lejigth the smaller of
the two fishermen began to yield, and in a few minutes he was
ragged by main force to the shore. I now assisted in the
fight, but warily, as the little animal bit ferociously at every-
thing that was put tor;ards him. He died the death of
honour; he was stoned to death and crammed into the creel,
as
the
most remarkable trophy off expert angling. —Sportsman
