ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETY. - -
;IMr. STEVENS presented a petition from the Accident
OW' Society, which was established by several benevo-

Persons who sustained injuries from accidents during the
confinement.of the patients. He highly commended the
I:_lbjects of the Institution, and expressed a hope that the
Vourt would grant pecuniary aid to it.—(Cheers.)
habit Mr. NVELLs said that Mr. Stevens was so much in the
of presenting petitions of this kind as to deserve
the name of Solicitor-General to the charitable establish-
!!!lents of the metropolis.—(Laughter.) He objected to
tile practice of disposing of the City's money to the sup-
thof Sqcretaries and other officers, under the pretence
eldin .the poor, who derived but little advantage from
M
_ contributions of the Corporation.---,(A laugh.)
r. STE'vENs said that he was proud of the distinc-

CITY LEASES. A subject of Considerable importance came on for ills-

Solicitor, vvhich have excited much discussion in the

CASE. Ist, The Corporation of London are in the habit of letting their
..„,tlaes to their numerous tenants upon lease for 21 years.
11!I,e leases contain all the usual covenants to pay rent, repair,
~-, as well as a covenant not to assign without license, and
.s4eislcie.__i_seo a co.ve.nant that the Com.ptroller (who is the con-
.ti eec, g solicitor of the Corporation) shall prepare all as.-
Te„ II Mtents of leases; and the observance of these covenants is
ter secured by the usual proviso for re-entry. A copy of
the c covenant and proviso is left herewith.
The.

re 344 RIROUnt of the duties and emoluments of the office is to•'-'tred to the consideration of a Committee, some of whose

tray f to think it has not ; but as tt, his been extensively in
''r hnne yeary, kW, hat not been Ine:qioned, that fact,

showing general aquieicence, will rather go to strengthen than
nom its supposed validity.
Dumpor's cas,, decided in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and
reported by Lord Coke, is the authority upon which Mr. Side-
Lo,tom co. rectly bye down the la.,v that " if a license io assign
is once given, the condition for re-entry on assigning without
license is at an end ; but. this ease, though reluctantly admitted
i as authority, has always, upon princip:e, been questioned by
lawyers. Lord Mansfield, in Doe v. Bliss, 4 Taunton, says.
" The profession have always wondered at Dumpor's case ; but
it has been law so many centuries that we cannot reverse it
now." And again, Lord Eldon, in Brummell v. 111Therson,
14 Vesey, 175, says, " Dumpor's case always struck me as ex
tralrdinary ; but it is the law of the land." The Judges,
while, however, they have recognised as law the principle upon
which Dumpor's case was decided, have done every thing na
their power to defeat its application to any case not, precisely
similar. The form of the covenant in the City leases does
render the cases similar, and on that account there is no
doubt but that in many instances the covenant not to assign
without license is rendered practically inoperative; but I
venture to think, should the validity of the restrictive cove-
nants adopted by modern conveyancers be brought to the
test of judicial decision, they will be held successfully to evade
the doctrine established in Dumpor's case.
The Comptroler is the officer upon whom the responsibity of
advising the Corporation in matters of conveyancing properly
devolves, and had that office beers full I should have ab-
stained from making the foregoing remarks. As, however,
the Corporation are now without a responsible adviser in that
department, I trust I shall be excused for the length of this
eport. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
CHARLES PEARSON.
The Court adjourned at a very late hour without coming to
any decision.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES—YzsTERDAT.

Yesterday was the " grand" day of the meeting, and with a
slight qualification, the adjective has seldom been more cor-
rectly applied; the weather was delightful, the dust immense,
and the multitude great,—the presence of the Sovereign, with
a brilliant Court, imparting a grandeur to the ensemble which
no other race course can parallel. For those wholook for totals
this brief proem will suffice, but as there is a certain class of
readers who look for items, we will enter a little into detail. Be
it known then, that in anticipation of a visit from the Queen
and her Illustrious Consort, swarms made their exit from the
metropolis by the various modes of conveyance now in vogue,
and that the rail and the road were in a bustle from an early
hour in the morning. The " Great Western," as might have
been expected, drew immensely, but not to such an extent as
altogether to supersede coaches and port-horses; the difficulty
and expense of getting from the Slough terminus to the course
had weight with many, and properly so, as in reality very little
saving of time or money was effected by those who gave steam
the preference. Another inducement to " take to the road"
was the meanness of the Railway Directors, who, having
ruined every posting establishment on the line (a source from
which a good Plate was always available to the races), and
established a monopoly without making compensation to its
victims, have from the first refused to contribute to a Meeting
from which they annuaLy derive several thousand pounds.
As the races were advertised to commence precisely at half-
past one o'clock, an early arrival was essential to those who
were anxious to obtain " good places ;" accordingly, by twelve
o'clock, clouds of dust, almost darkening the sky, gave evidence
of the coming throng, and called into play all the energies of
those to whom its disposition was entrusted. The Grand Stand
absorbed nearly all the higher class of visitors; but many per-
sons of rank, determined to look royalty in the face, and at the
same time enjoy their luncheons in the old-fashioned way, took
their stand within the carriage inclosure, setting at nought both
heat and dust, with the certainty of being at least one hour
later off the ground than their neighbours, and thereby encoun •
tering the dangers and confusion incidental to the journey
home. The foot people poured in by thousands, but by the
good-humoured firmness of the police all were packed as well
as could be expected, where two were constrained to squeeze
themselves into a space in which one would have been
barely comfortable. It is almost superfluous to add that every
stand was full, that thieves and thimble. riggers abounded, and
. .

that a powerful body of the A division of the police, under
Superintendents May and Grinsell, and Inspectors Pearce,
Hughes, and Partridge, were kept in constant and vigorous
employment.
At twenty minutes past one the approach of the Royal pro-
cession was heralded by the, shouts of the spectators, and an
axone was immediately formed, up which it passed amidst the
most enthusiastic cheering. Exactly at the half-hour her Ma-
jesty reached the stand, and on her appearance at the window
immediately after, was greeted with every possible demonstra-
tion of loyalty and regard; similar feelings of attachment were
displayed towards her illustrious consort, whose appearance, we
are happy to say, gave a contradiction to the late reports. In
the carriage with her Majesty and the Prince were his Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge. In the others were
the Duke of Sutherland, Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the
Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of Exeter, Earl and Countess
of Erroll and Lady Ida Hay, Earl of Albemarle, Lord and Lady
Robert Grosvenor, Countess of Charlemont, Earl of Uxbridge,
Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, Lord Kinnaird, Sir Henry
Wheatley, Lord Poltimore, Lord in Waiting ; Honourable
Sir William Lumley, Groom in Waiting; Lord Alfred
Paget, Equerry ; Sir Edward Bowater, Equerry to his
Royal Highness Prince Albert; Mr. George and Honourable
Mrs. Anson, Hon. Charles Murray, Lady Barham, Lady in •
Waiting, and the Hon. Harriet Lister and Amelia Murray,
Maids of Honour. Lords Segrave and W. Lennox, and several
other noblemen, had the honour of joining the distinguished
party at her Majesty's dinner party in the evening.
In addition to those included an the list of her Majesty's
visitors, there were present the Duke and Duchess of Beau-
fort, Duke of Rutland, Marchioness of Clanricarde, Earl and
Countess of Lichfield, Earl of Chesterfield, Countess of Albe-
marle, Earl of Somhampton, Earl Aboyne, Earl Jersey,
Earl Verulam, Earl Wilton, Ear] of Pembroke, Earl Mil.
town, Earl Rosslyn, Lord U. Bentinck, Lord Kelburne, Lord
Maidstone Lord Somerton, Lord E. ItusselL Lord J. Fitzroy,
