The short time allowances were again adopted this
afternoon; and, as the majority of the races were
matches, a great deal of business was got through with-
out the confusion and fatigue that the " working classes"
bad so much reason to complain of on Friday. Strict
punctuality, however, was impossible. Although there
was no event of striking importance in the card, the sport
altogether was excellent; and it will be seen, from the
subjoined programme, that the November meeting is
likely to prove a good wind-up to the season.

The Learned Judge delivered his judgment in this

cover compensation in damages alleged toe be siust

having caused him to be imprisoned upon groan the
suspicion. The Learned Judge went through thet
whole of the voluminous evidence, given during
s
several (lays which it has occupied the attention.
the Court, with clearness and ability, and stated tpa,u
upon a careful review of the whole facts deposed of
he was of opinion that there did not exist any re3s°n;
able ground of suspicion on the part of the defenchin.o
towards the plaintiff. The law always presurnel I t
such cases the existence of malice and the defendant
had therefore rendered himself liable to the judgcne,rl..
of the Court in this instance. He had acted throura
out in the most rash and indiscreet manner, and lhae
refused to attend to the hints and suggestions of t
police officers, who had informed him of the circliul.

stance, that at the time of the robbery having
committed, the plaintiff was in Sunderland, and oa
he
not possibly have committed the act of which e 14,;

HAMMERSMITH.

EXCISE INFORMATIONS —Mr. Wm. Westbrook, brick-
maker, at Earle's-court, Kensington, appeared before Mr.
Paynter to answer an information, at the instance of the
Excise, for selling beer without a license, whereby he had
incurred a pei ally of 20/.
Mr. Sleep, the solicitor, appeared for the defendant,
and pleaded not guilty.
The Excise proved that the defendant had never taken
out a license to enable him legally to sell beer, and called
a witness who had been in the defendant's employ, who
deposed to the defendant having, in the kitchen of his
house in the brickfield, a regular tap fitted up for the
sale of beer, and that on the day charged in the informa-
tion he was served by a boy, in the defendant's employ,
with a pint of beer, for which, and something else, six-
pence was stopped out of his wages by the defendant on
the following Saturday.
Mr. Sleap, for the defendant, contended there was
before the magistrate no proof of the sale of beer. There
was nothing in the Excise Acts to prevent a master, for
his own convenience, and the furtherance of his busi
floss, engaging men for so much wages and so much
beer. All that the Excise had proved was, that in a
briclifield a boy in the employ of the defendant had
given a man in the same employ a pint of beer, and that
on the Saturday a sixpence of his wages was stopped.
It was, however, a fact capable of proof, that in the
summer time the farmers in Middlesex and elsewhere
were in the habit of giving beer in part wages, in order
to prevent their leaving their work to get it.
Mr. PAYNTER said he did not anticipate the line of
defence set up. There was, however, no proof that it
was so in that case. He must, therefore, convict and
fine the defendant in the lowest moiety of 5L and costs.
He thought it a case for the consideration of the Excise
Comniissioners.

GUILDHALL.

FORGING A FITE HUNDRED POUND BILL OF Ex •
CHANGE.—A middle•aged man, of rather clerical ap-
pearance, giving the name of Nicholas Kerp, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, on suspicion of
being concerned in the forging of a bill of exchange for
5001. on Messrs. Fuller and Co., the bankers in Moor-
gate-street.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine defended
the prisoner.
Mr. James Baker, a clerk at Messrs. Fuller's bank,
stated that a gentleman named Hawley banked at their
house. The bill of exchange produced, purporting to be
drawn by B. Taylor on H. G. Hawley, for 5001., he
cashed on the 29th of December, 1846. He gave the
party presenting four 1001. and two 50/ notes.
Mr. Henry Gerrard Hawley, a retired City merchant,
living at Hackney, deposed that in December last he kept
an account at Messrs. Fuller's. He did not accept the
bill of exchange produced. It was a forgery.
Moses Samuels, a dealer in old and new clothes, in
Strutton-ground, Westminster, was next called. On
the 29th of December the prisoner and another man
came to his shop to purchase some clothes. His com-
panion was dressed in a very seedy manner, and on
being fitted with a new suit he left his old clothes behind
him. The prisoner paid witness in silver. They then
left, and Kerp returned about two o'clock in the after-
noon, and took a purse out of his pocket and showed:it
bim. It contained about one hundred sovereigns. On
the following day they called upon him, The prisoner
same first, then his companion, whom the prisoner called
Brown. On the latter entering, he observed to Kerp,
"I am glad to see you, for I was frightened you would
be stopped at the Bank, as they asked you where you
lived, and from whom you got the notes. You told them
from Fuller's bank, and that I lived at No. 3, Bond-
street." Kerp asked him why they asked those questions,
and Brown answered, "Because you went with four
1001. notes." They stopped at witness's house about ten
minutes, and then left.
Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—There was no
concealment; there was no endeavour to prevent witness
hearing them.
Mr. W. Higman, the principal at the issuing depart-
ment at the Bank of England, said he remembered the
notes being presented for payment on the morning of the
29th of December. It was not usual to take the numbers,
but he identified the notes, on being shown him, by cer-
tain marks he had made on them. They were first pre-
sented to a Mr. Adams, who referred them to witness.
He asked the party who brought them where ho got
them, who replied, at Fuller's bank. The notes were
paid. The prisoner, to the best of his belief, was the
person who presented them.
Mr. Clarkson applied for a remand to complete the
evidence.
Mr. Alderman GIBBS Bccordingly remanded him for
a week.

Mr. Clarkson now applied for the detention-of 2001.,
which had been lodged in the London and Westminster
Bank by the father of th© prisoner, who had left the

country.
A gentleman from the London and Weqminster Bank
guaranteed that the amount ahotdd be detained,
