THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

Martha Howard, a young woman of considerable
personal attractions, was charged with attempting to
pass a counterfeit half-crown at the shop of Mr.
John Putnam, eating-house-keeper, Brook-street,
Ratcliffe.

The case was curious, inasmuch as the wife of the
prosecutor was brought up to this court, on Tues-
day week last, charged with passing a counterfeit
five-shilling piece, the particulars of which appeared
in The Sun of the same day. Mrs. Putnam was re-
manded on the charge, but subsequently discharged
without an imputation on her character. She alleged
that she had taken the five-shilling piece in her shop.
Mrs. Putnam stated that yesterday evening the
prisoner came into her shop and asked for a pork pie,
for which she tendered the half-crown produced. On
looking narrowly at it she discovered that it was
counterfeit. She immediately called her husband,
who bit it in two places. The prisoner then begged
to be let go, but Mr. Putnam sent for a policeman.
Seeing that Le was determined, the prisoner engaged
him in conversation, and watching her opportunity,
suddenly snatched the half-crown out of his hand and
ran out down Harris-court. Mr. Putnam pursued
and overtook her, when she said, " I have done you,
for I have dropped the half-crown." He, however,
detained her till the policeman came, and the half-
crown was found in the court this morning.
Police-constable, K 20S, produced the half-crown
which s watchman had found in Harris court this
morning, and on it were the marks where Mr. Put-
nam had bitten it.

The watchman swore to finding the coin.
Mr. YA RDLEY said, that from the adroit manner in
'which the prisoner had acted, no doubt she was an
adept at smashing, and he should therefore remand
her till Tuesday next, in order that the police might
make inquiries about her, and also communicate with
the solicitor to the Mint.
The prosecutor then stepped into the witness-box,
and said he had brought forward this case with a vievr
to vindicate his wif.e's character,
Mr. YARDLEY—_I have already said that no impu-
tation whatever remains on your wife's character.
Mr. Putnam then thanked the magistrate, bowed,
and withdrew.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before T. Y. M'CIIRISTIE, Esq.)
Mr. S. Smith, at the commencement of the pro-
ceeding of the Court, said, that both himself and Mr.
Brown wished to have the opinion of the Court upon
a point which they considered of some importance as
t''.o the regulation of their future proceedings. The
Court had come to a decision that in cases where ob-
j(tctionshad been made, costs would be allowed to
ti le parties, although the agents had agreed to with-
&raw their objections, and that notice should be given
to the parties in such cases that the objections were
with drawn. Now it happened that whenever
'Laic e was t:o given to the parties, they invariably
attended the court and claimed costs.
Mr. Brown said that last year, in consequence of
the decision of Mr. Arnold, a great number of objec-
t tions were at once withdrawn, and no costs allowed
in such cases. The Court had, however, decided
that when the objection was withdrawn, and the
parties attended, they should be allowed costs. That
was a very hard case upon the agents, because in all
instances where the objections were made they were
supposed to be valid ones.
The REVISING BARRISTER said that the agents had
brought the inconvenience upon themselves in con-
sequence of their having served so many objections,
'without having any foundation for so doing. He had
done all that lay in his power to remedy the incon-
venience.
Mr. Brown wished to know whether, if an object
ton were withdrawn and notice thereof sent to the
'party, the Court would refuse to give costs ?
The REVISING BARRISTER said that he could not
pledge himself to do any such thing.
During the sittings of the Court several persons
:attended who had received notice of the withdrawal
\Of the objections, and in each case received costs va-
-tying in amount from 10s. to 20,5.
Mr. S. Smith upon this reiterated his former
tstatements as to the hardship of the case, and trusted
'that the Court would consider such cases worthy of
'receiving the fullest consideration of the Court.
Mr. Brown said that last year there were upwards
11000 more oblations made than in the present

year, but an arrangement was then made before Mr.
Arnold, and no costs were then allowed.
The ItEvIsING BARRISTER said that he could not
recognise or sanction any such arrangement.

A meeting of the Jockey Club was held, after the
races this afternoon, for the purpose of taking into con•
sideration a proposed deviation of the Newmarket Rail-
way Extension to Bury and Thetford, by which the
directors sought, not only to save 150,0001., by avoiding
the construction of the tunnel, but to complete the line at
least twelve months within the period originally contem-
plated. The Duke of Rutland, Lord George Bentinck,
and many others, were favourable to the alteration, but
the trainers and jockies having petitioned against it, on
the ground that it would injure the exercise ground, the
scheme was negatived. The proposal to change the time
of running the two great October handicaps was also
negatived. The memorial of Messrs. W. Stebbings and
Braham was also taken into consideration, and the reso-
lution by which they were forbidden to go on the course,
was rescinded.

Mr. John Day has challenged for the whip.
