Plantagenet took the lead, followed by Scarlet Runner,
Leaconfield, Maynooth, Seven's the Main, and several light
weights, Alamode, Jenny Wren, Polka, and Marquis of
Conyngham lying off, the order of running close, and the
pace as good as Plantagenet could make it. They remained
in nearly these positions for about a mile. Maynooth and
Leaconheld then took up the running, followed by Jenny
Wren, Polka, and I-am-not-aware ; Alamode in a good place,
and looking, even thus early, an easy winner. On reaching
the T.Y.C. winning-post Alamode went past his horses, and
led to the foot of the hill, but was then pulled back, and the
lead left with Maynooth and Marquis of Conyngham; at
the top, however, he again took up the running, had it all to
himself, and won very easy by two lengths, the Marquis of
Conyngham beating Polka by a length, and Jenny Wren and

tance from home. Run in 2 min. 56 sec.

mont waiting in the rear. No change till they were half
way down the Bushes-hill, when Lebanon died away, and
the running was taken up by Sister to Flambeau, followed
by Tit-bit and Prospect. Beaumont waited on this lot into

THE GAME-LAW CASE.
The evidence of Thomas Silvester, in the recent conviction
of Mrs. Bridger, the fisherman's wife,
for buying game, and
who has been released from durance
mile by the humanity
and kind-heartedness of J. Collett, Esq M P. for Athlone,
will not be uninteresting to the enemies" of the game-laws,
and will afford some valuable information to Mr. Bright's
Committee, now sitting in the House of Commons.
At the Petty Sessions, held in the Town Hall, Petersfield
on April 7th, 1846 (Captain Lyons and Sir Charles Taylor,'
Bart., the presiding magistrates), Thomas Silvester, charcoal
burner, in the parish of Liphook, deposed on oath as follows :
Police-constable Hale, No. 76, of the North Hants con-
stabulary force, called on me, when the following conversa-
tion took place between us :
Policeman—Have you any work now to do?
Silvester—l have nearly done up all the work I have in
hand, consequently I shall be glad to get another job.
Policeman—l can tell you bow to earn 51.
Silvester—ln what way, and how?
Policeman—l have got a pheasant and a hare in my
house; if you will take them to Bridger, the fisherman, at
Petersfield, and get him to buy them, and afterwards lay an
information against him, in the event of his being convicted,
I will guarantee you the 51. from Sir Charles Taylor, of Hol-
lycomb House, near Liphook.
Silvester—lf you cannot recommend me to a better job
than that, I would sooner go into the union house than be-
come an informer.

This disgusting affair has caused a great sensation in the
town and neighbourhood, and is strongly condemned by the
inhabitants generally. The poor fisherman has been called
on since the return of his wife from gaol, by Police con-
stable Smith, with a message purporting to be from Sir C.
Taylor, stating that he had two other ewes against him, and
that be was to appear on the sth instant at the Petty Ses-
sions, at the Town-hall, to answer the charges. Conse-
quently Bridger attended in person before the game-pre-
serving and unpaid magistrates on Tuesday last, when Sir
Charles Taylor promised to withdraw the two cases if the
fisherman would enter into a bond of promise not to commit
the like offence again in future !! !—llampshire independent.

LADY FESTER STANITOPE.—AII who have perused
the memoirs of this remarkable individual, will be glad to
learn that three new volumes have just been published, com-
prising the narrative of her travels. The work is intended
(says the prospectus) to complete the Memoirs of Lady
Hester Stanhope. As the "Memoirs" embraced a period of
about 15 years, in which were traced the causes which led
to the " decline and fall " of her Ladyship's somewhat
visionary Empire in the East, the Travels take up her his-
tory from the time she quitted England, and by a faithful
narrative of her extraordinary adventnres, show the rise and
growth of her Oriental greatness. A distinct line may at
once be drawn between this and all other books of travels in
the East—for it boasts of a heroine who marches at the head
of Arab'trlbes through the Syrian Desert—who calls Gover-
nors of Cities to her aid, while she excavates the earth in
search of hidden treasures—who sends Generals with their
troops to carry fire and sword into the fearful passes of a
mountainous country to avenge the death of a murdered tra-
veller —and who then goes defenceless and unprotected to sit
down a sojourner in the midst of them.
