MEETING OF MIDDLESEX

MAGISTRATES.

Yesterday a very numeroui body of the County Magistracy
met at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. Mr. Powuall,
in the absence of Mr. Sergeant. Adams, took the Chair.

THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

Mr. EDMONDES read the Report of the Visiting Justices of
the House of Correction, which stated that at present there
were 1,105 prisoners, exclusive of 24 children, via., 1:101 males
and 304 females. The document then set forth that—" The
Visiting Justices in their last Report to the Court mentioned
that they had directed an applicatibn to the Secretary of State
for the Home Department to ascertain if Government in-
tended to submit a Bill to Parliament enabling the Sessions to
grant retiring allowances to aced and des, rving officers ; on
which subject the Visiting Justices had received an answer to
the effect that it was not the intention of the Government to
introduce any Bill to that effect this Session.

The Deputy Clerk of the Peace stated, in answer to a ques-
tion by Mr. Wilson, that the name of the Magistrate who was
inculpated by Medhurst was Mr. Henry Marston Dyer, and
that his name had been struck out of the Commission.
After some discussion about certain alterations in the Coro-
ner's Court, and the present state of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum,
the Court adjourned.

SPORTING IN TELLtuENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
THE LATE DERBY AND OAKS.—In our notice of the set-
tling for these races, we mentioned that one large account wa,
altogether unsettled ; giving credit to the statement made yes-
terday, it would appear that the party had made a 10,000/.
book, and on balance was a winner of nearly 2,0001., but hav-
ing been given to understand that by others, who were heavy
losers, he should be minus nearly double that amount, he had
used a hasty expression, which was construed into a declaration
that he should not be able to settla' and was so reported at Tat-
tersall's on Monday. On Tuesday, however, he attended for that
purpose, but, as might have been expected, one and all refused to
pay him, and he left the yard without havingeffected anything t,.-
wards an adjustment. He subsequently deputed three of his
creditors to settle for him, and the Stewards of the Jockey
Club, on the appointees stating that " upon receiving the
sums due they were prepared to pay all demands in fall," gave
an opinion that " all persons owing money on this account are
bound to pay the balance due to the gentlemen appointed to re-
ceive it." Upon this authority, application was made yester-
day to the losers, several of
_whom paid the money, with this
understanding, that, failing a satis'actory settlement, it should
be returned. The discussion of this case, and it is a novel
one, occupied so much time, that little business was done on
events to come off ; we have only to quote the following bets :
