tiers committed that assault upon him which ultimately
ensued in his death. 'the witnesses would tell the jury
that at two o'clock on the morning of the sth July, he
was sitting at the door of a house in Plumptree-
court, Shoe•lane, when the prisoner came up, and re-
peatedly struck him, and knocked him down, and then
dragged him to No. 28, which was further down the
court. He then drew out of his pocket a truncheon,
and holding the deceased by the collar with his left
nand, inflicted upon him several blows with the trun-
cheon which he held in the right hand. The deceased
cried out, "Oh have mercy upon me, for God's
sake don't kill me, I will go upstairs and not come down
any more to-night." The prisoner, however, did not de•
-ist, and after inflicting, some further blows upon the de-
ceased, he flung him into the passage of 28 and there
left him. The Learned Counsel then detailed the other
circumstances connected with the transaction as deposed
to below, and said he should be in a condition to prove
that Cogan was entirely sober, and perfectly quiet, and in-
' ffensive the whole evening. The medical witnesses would
state that according to their experience the rupture of the
vessels which caused death might have been produced
by over-excitement, but then it would be shown that
there were extensive disc )lourations on the deceased's
body, evidently caused by blows, and they corresponded
with the internal injuries. It was no doubt true that
he inhabitants in the neighbourhood had no very
friendly feeling towards the police, and that several of
'he witnesses he should call were not persons of the
very best character, but the jury would draw their own
inferences froth their testimony, corroborated as it
would be by that of other witnesses.
The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to call his
witnesses, who repeated the evidence which they had
given before the magistrates and coroner, and which has
been frequently published.
(The trial had not concluded when we went to press.)

NIARLBRO'-STREE T-(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY AT THE GREAT EXIIIBITION.—Ihomas
Much, a young Frenchman, was placed at the bar before
Mr. _Bingham charged with having stolen a packet of
chocolate from the French department of the Great
Exhibition.

Holland, 47 S, deposed that yesterday afternoon about
five o'clock, he was on duty near the French department,
when he recei►ed information that some chocolate had
been stolen from there the afternoon previous. He ac-
cordingly kept watch and saw the prisoner come and
take the packet of chocolate produced from a stall and
put it in his pocket and walk off. Witness followed him
and asked him what he was going to do with the parcel
he had just put in his pocket? The prisoner made some
reply which witness did not understand, and ho then
took him to.the station-house,where he was searched and
a purse containing 31. 10s. in gold found upon him.
Witness subsequently went and searched the prisoner's
lodgings, where he found another packet of chocolate, a
quantity of fancy soap, wax tapers, and blacklead-
pencils, the whole of which had been stolen from the
French department of the Exhibition.
The prisoner, who did not offer any defence, was fully
committed for trial.

THE ALLEGED CARD CHEATING AT
BRIGHTON.

BRIGHTON, SEPT. 18.—The circumstances conneeted
with the charge of conspiracy and cheating at Brighton,
in which John Broome, John James, and Charles Staden
stand committed for trial at the next Sussex assizes, are
fresh in the memory of our readers. Broome is out on
bail; Henry Nottage was committed for perjury when
offering himself as bail for Staden; and notice of bail
was given for last Friday on the part of James. On that
day Mr. H. B. Roberts, of York-row, Kennington-road,
complained before Mr. Baron Martin, at chambers, a
habeas having been issued to bring James to London to
ne bailed, that two persons from Wales, who had been
offered as bail, had been deterred from coming forward
by the publication of a pamphlet, containing a narrative
of the whole proceedings in the case. Both on that day
and on Tuesday last arguments were heard by the judge
on the habeas and the question of costs; and the deci-
sion is postponed till to-day. Meanwhile, however, no-
tice of bail was given to Mr. Sill, 2, Tavistock-street,
Covent-garden (attorney for Mr. Hamp, the prosecutor
in the charge of conspiracy), that the same bail would
attend to justify before the Brighton bench, at one
o'clock to-day. The bail offered were David Wechio,
of Oxford-street, Swansea, Glamorganshire, maltster;
and Joseph Morris, of the same street, wheelright. At
one o'clock Mr. Sill made his appearance before the
bench, C. Carpenter, J. Borrer, N. Borrer, and Mon-
tagu Scott, Esqs., and took an objection that the ma-
gistrates had no jurisdiction to take bail. After a
lengthened discussion the magistrates decided on exa-
mining the sureties, and ultimately decided against ac-
cepting the proffered bail.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
DONCASTER RACES.—TUESDAY.
THE GREAT YORKSHIRE 11ANDICAP.—Thos race not
having been run until more than half an hour alter the
time appointed—four o'clock—we were unable to add
any particulars to the return. Previous to its coming
ff Miss Ann, Paquetta, True Blue, Young Altisidora,
Antigone, and two or three others, overpowered their
riders and broke away ; Miss Ann went about a mile
before the lad succeeded in stopping her, Paquetta and
True Blue ran nearly half a mile, and the others to the
road. In the actual start, not the best in the world,
Young Altisidora was the first to show in front, but
before reaching the hill, was passed by Miss Ann, who
went on with the running at a strong pace, Paquette
and Clarissa waiting on Young Altisidora, The Sweep
heading the second ruck, Cossack and Confessor in the
centre, and behind them a tremendous "tail." Young
Altisidora gave way near the mile post, leaving Paquetta
and Clarissa in waiting on Miss Ann, The Sweep, An-
tigone, and Chief Justice coming next, and The Con-
fessor lying about seventh. In making the Red House
turn, Antigone and The Confessor drew towards the front,
and at the bend the former went up to Miss Ann,
and, in a few strides, deprived her of the lead, Confessor
at the same time, on Paquetta's retirement, taking the
fourth position. Antigone carried on the running to
the distance, where The Confessor went up, quitted her
opposite the stand, and won very easily by a length, Miss
Ann finishing a bad third, Cossack fourth, and Chief
Justice fifth. Run in 3 min. 20 secs.
The easy manner in which The Confessor won, brought
him into the St. Leger betting at 20 to 1, and increased
the general anxiety to back Aphrodite and the " lot."
Hernandez slightly declined, and The Ban was almost
friendless.
Of the day's sport too much cannot be said in praise;
it was above the average in quantity, full of interest,
and in its consequences on the St. Leger and Derby
betting highly important; in fine, it was the best " first
day" known at Doncaster for many years. The weather
was all that could be wished, the company great, and
the receipts at the stand (1,9501.) the largest ever known.
The management would have been unexceptionable had
a little more time been allowed between the races; the
loss of three quarters of an hour must have convinced
the stewards of the impossibility of being punctual
with half-hour intervals.
It was announced in the course of the day that Lord
Ribblesdale was the new Steward, in the place of Lord
Zetland, whose three years expired this meeting.
WEDNESDAY.
The unceasing arrival of well-filled trains from all
parts of the kingdom, the crowded state of the streets
for some hours before the commencement of the races,
a stand crammed to access, a throng within the en-
closure, and the entire aspect of the course, furnished
the most convincing proof that if the higher classes,
have become lukewarm in their attachment to the most
popular of our national sports—and that such is the fact
has been obvious throughout the season—the taste for
it is on the increase in the middle and lower ranks. We
will not go the length of saying thaat the concourse
was so great as on the memorable St. Leger day of
1850, but we safely affirm that it has not been exceeded
on any other occasion. The Round Stand was occu-
pied by a few ladies of rank, and the one appropriated
to the club by some of the most influential patrons of
the turf ; we also noticed some persons of title and
fashion in the balcony of the Grand Stand, a list of
whom we shall give at a more favourable opportunity.
Of the racing we gave yesterday as full a return as
time and circumstances permitted.
THE ST. LEGER.—Our account sent from the course
having been unavoidably confined to a bare return, we
now furnish st• tow details of the running. The starting,
it should be premised, was undertaken by the Hon.
Captain Rous, who got through the task with so little
difficulty that the race came off within a few minutes of
the time specified on the card. Deceitful went away
with the lead, followed by Exeter, Aphrodite and
Goliah lying third and fourth, Hernandez next, in com-
pany with Cneeus, Newminster, Phlegra, Sir Rowland
Trenchard, Hook'em Snivvy, and two or three others,
Ephesus, Lough Bawn, and Jack Robinson bringing up,
the rear. Exeter retired before he reached the mile-
post; but in no other respect were the positions of the
leading horses affected until they got to the Red House.
Here Goliah and Hernandez were beaten, and New-
minster took the third position. Half-way between the
Red House and the bend Deceitful gave way, and the
race was left to Aphrodite and Newminster, the latter
getting to the mare's head inside the distance, quitting
her half-way up, and winning in a canter by two lengths,
Hook'em Snivvy, who was as far behind Aphrodite,
beating Sir Rowland Trenchard by a neck. Phlegra
and Miserrima were fifth and sixth, Laneartine and She
Ban next. The race was run in 3 min. 19 secs.
The races were over by five o'clock, and before nine
the multitudes who had been brought into the town in
the morning had taken their departure, with compara-
tively little confusion, and without accident of any de-
scription.
The betting-room was thronged in the evening, and
the issue of the great race having proved harmless to the
ring, business commenced with much spirit on future
events. We give the quotations up to twelve o'clock:—

THURSDAY'S RACES.
Paying and receiving for the St. Leger occupied the
greater part of the morning, but, owing to the absence
of a party who had taken liberties with Newminster tee
the extent of ten or twelve thousand pounds, did not
prove quite so harmless as had been generally antici-
pated; this, fortunately, was the only cause of default,
so that, as the Newminster party win only small stakes,
the settling, as a whole, is likely to be tolerably good.
The racing this afternoon showed no improve-
ment on the generality of " off" days, but hav-
ing a decided "feature" in the Cleveland Handicap, drew
a f sir company. We have only time to give the re-
sults:—

A good start was effected, after two failures, the Cos-
tus filly taking up the running, which, with Vortex in
waiting, she carried on to the distance; the second place
was then taken by the favourite, who challenged opposite
the stand, and wuu by a neck. Vortex a good third.

took no part in the race. Time, 1 min. 46 secs.
