yrs, Gst 41b ; Mayflower, 3 yrs, Est 41b ; Skelton, 3 yrs, dst

101 b. To select the winner from such a field is a matter of
the c,catest difficulty, but Peialty, The Rover, Cantine,
Gibraltar, and the best of Mr. Ten Brooch's should not be
forgot in selecting a lot against the field.
The Hopeful Stakes, for two-year-olds, is another race
where speed is the chief requisite, and the Derby backers
of Dundee are not unlikely to have their confidence shaken
by his performance therein, for he does not possess that
quality in a very high degree, the half mile being decidedly
unsuited to him, especially when meeting such horses as
Walloon and Queen of the Vale, and I mill not be sur-
prised to see him lower his colours to one of them.
The Grand Duke Michael Stakes, for 3-yr-olds, about
one mile and a quarter, may further mystify the world as to
the real merits of the St. Leger horses, for Thormanby and
the Wizard again meet at even weights, while they each
give High Treason 71b. Now, in the St. Leger the latter
fairly beat the pair at even weights, yet in the Cup Th( r-
manby gave him 71b and a good beating, and the Wizard
got home first in the Don Stakes, which contradiction is
explained by High Treason not being an every day horse,
his running having always been very in and out. If the
running in the St. Leger was correct of course High Trea-
son ought to win, but as I have great doubts of that I will
pin my faith this time to Thormanby, even with his
extra 7 lbs., and as Thunderbolt has been doing good work
lately he may obtain second honours.

The Buckenham Stakes of 300 sous each, h ft, for two-
yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b, will fall to Folkestone
or the Ranee filly.

The match between Mr. Crawfurd's Nicholas and the
Duke of Bedford's Montenegro, for 500 sovs, will be car-
ried of by the former.

On Wednesday the owner of Mouravieff will pocket the
Eleventh Triennial Produce Stakes.

The Second Twelfth Triennial -Produce Stakes of 10
soya, for three •yr-olds, will introduce us again to most of
the St. Leger candidates, including St. Albans, Sabreur,
King of Diamonds, Winton, Sweetsauce, Cape Flyaway,
Tom Bowline, and Donner and Blitz. If Sabreur, St.
Albans, Sweetsauce, and Cape Flyaway meet, there will be
a most interesting race, as there is no penalty for the St.
Leger winner; but I shall stick to Sabreur, and expect to
see him cut down St. Albans, thereby showing that the
St. Leger running was all a mistake.
The St. Leger Stakes the Wizard ought to win, although
he has to give Leprochaun Vbs.

The Granby Stakes, of 30 sous each, will likely be a walk
over for Folkestone.

On Thursday the most important races is the Thirteenth
Triennial Stakes for two-yr-olds.
Amongst the representatives of the Whitehall Stable ale
the Dark Robin Hood, who has been supported for next
year's Derby, Vergiss-Mein-Nicht, and Klarikoff.
Amongst the other public performers are Asteroid, Folke-
stone, Prudence, Wing, and Matador. As I prefer horses
that have run to dark ones, I shall give the preference to
Folkestone and Vergiss-Mein-Nicht.

The Rutland Stakes, of 30 sovs each, 20 ft, for two •yr-
olds ; colts, Bst 71b; and fillies, Bst 31b; has Cowley, Sweet.
hawthorn, and Prudence amongst their entries, and they
shall represent my interest in the order named.

The acceptances for tho Crosarewitch and Cambridge-
shire close to-morrow, and will appear in a late edition of
The Sun. The weights appeared in The Sun twenty-kw
hours before any other paper in London.

TUE WEATHER AT SOUTIIAMPTON.—It com-
menced raining at Southampton heavily on Friday night,
at nine a cluck, and up to the present moment (Saturday
evening) it has continued without intermission. The
damage to the crops will be considerable, especially to the
barley, much of which will be rendered unfit for malting
Purposes. A great quantity of second cut clover and
meadow grass has been completely spoilt, in consequence of
the ungenial state of the weather. Prices, in consequence,
have risen considerably, the factors charging £6 10s. per
ton.
The Patric., which has laboured to persuade the
world that it publishes none but official news, has been sin-
gularly unfortunate lately. Among other inaccuracies it
announced that General de Gayon would not return to
Rome ; secondly, that the French troops in Rome would
not be reinforced; thirdly, that the King of Naples had left
for Seville; fourthly, that there. had been no revolutionary
movement at Subiaco, Tivoli, Su ; and lastly, that General
de Lamoriciere was marching tc, Gaeta. If the soi-dtsant
semi-official journal so frequent ly leads us astray, how are
we to rely on minor stars ?
The steam frigate Asmo, aee, with the transpoits
Youne and Gregois, sailed fror a Toulon on Sunday last
fur

LAW INTELLIGENC.E.--(THIS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
IMPORTANT CASE ENDEIt THE MERCHANT SITIPPING ACT.

BRADY V. 'LINDSAY, M.P.,
Th.!s was an action in which a seaman named Brady
sought to recover L 9 from defendant, the well Inown ship-
owner and member for Sunderland, under the following

circumstances :
Mr. Hennekey (instructed by Mr. Ley), for the plaintiff,
said the sum now claimed by the plaintiff was for good con-
duct money. Plaintiff, a seaman, had been induced to cuter
defendant's service by a promise that if he (plaintiff) con-
tinued in the service for three years he should have ss. per
month good conduct money. Plaintiff entered defendant's
service on the 29th August, 1856, and left on the Bth No-
vember, 1859, and he now claimed the good conduct money
as per agreement.
Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison (instructed by Messrs. °Ever-
son), for defendant—Before you go any further I must ask
if that agreement is in writing, and has been signed Wore
the shipping-master ?
Mr. Hennekey—lt has not been sinned before the ship-
ping-master.
His Honour—Then we can't have it.
11Ir. Hennekey did not imagine he should be met with
such
an objection. The man had been promised the extra
55., and such an objection, purely technical, ought not
,to
be taken.
Mr. Harrison—l beg to call your Honour's attention to
the 150th section of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. By
that section it is enacted that the agreements between
sailors in foreign-going ships and the shipowners must be
signed before a shipping-master.
His Honour—Have you the agreement here which was
signed before the shipping-master ?
Mr. Harrison—We have, and there is no mention in it
of the extra ss.
The document was then handed to Mr. Hennekey, who
admitted that there was no mention in it of the sum now in
dispute.
His Honour--.Was the ship plaintiff sailed in a foreign
going ship ?
Mr. Harrison—yes ; London to Calcutta.
His Honour, upon referring to the Act 17 and 18 Vic.,
cap. 104, sec. 150, as relied upon by Mr. Harrison, observed
that plaintiff could • not recover. Plaintiff would be non-
suited, and costs awarded to defendant.
Mr. Hennekey would repeat that he did not expect a
defence of this kind from a gentleman in the pdsition of
Mr. Lindsay. Inducements were held out to seamen to
enter the service of defendant by promising ss. extra per
month, and--
Mr. Harrison—l beg to state that I hold my brief in the
regular way. Mr. Lindsay is out of the country now, and
lam instructed by his attorneys. I may add that we waive
all question of costs.
His Honour—you can do so, but the case is at an end,
and I am no judge of morality.
Plaintiff nonsuited. No costs asked for.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAT.)

BOW-STREET.

A DRIIMN CRIPPLE.—Ann Taylor, a tall, middle-
aged woman on crutches, her garments in a very dirty and
tattered state, was placed at the bar, charged with being
drunk and incapable.

The constable said on Saturday night he found the pri-
soner lying on the ground in a state of drunkenness. He
saw it was impossible for her to move from the spot without
falling through lameness, so he took her into custody.
Mr. Henry—Well, prisoner, what have you got to say
for belng found as the policeman describes ?
Prisoner—l wasn't drunk, sir. It's true I was on the
ground, but I wasn't drunk.
Mr. Henry—Not drunk; why the constable says you
could not get up.

Prisoner—Ah, he can say what he likes. I was on the
ground, that I admit; but I fell down.
Mr. Henry—Through being drunk.
Prisoner—l say again no, sir. I fell down through my
affliction, lameness. lam down two or three times a day,
so if the police were to take me to the station-home every
time they found me on the ground, they'd have enough to
do. I should be here at least three times a-day. (Laughter.)
Mr. Henry—You must have been drunk ; the officer
could have no object in taking you in custody if you were
not. Is she known ?

Inspector Mackenzie—Yes, your worship, she's been hers
before. The last time she was sentenced to seven days im-
prisonment for drinking.

Prisoner—No, I warn't ; so you're wrong. The fact is
there's so much persecution in this world that it is not
safe for poor people like me even to walk about. God
made us all ; we're all food for worms, and I don't think I
ought to be treated worse than any other worm.
(Laughter.)
Inspector Mackenzie—The officer who had her in charge
is in attendance.

Prisoner—And ho says 1 had soven days the last time I
was here ?

Inspector Mackenzie—Yes.
Prisoner—Then I should like to see him. He must hay
a good recollection. (Laughter.)
Police-constable 109 F—l know the prisoner ; she has
been in prison for drunkenness. She has had seven days
in prison is my knowledge; but the last time I had her in
custody at this court she was discharged.
Prisoner—Of course—you see, sir. The last time I was
before your worship, or somebody else—(laughter)—l did
not get seven days. I was discharged.
Mr. Henry—But you have been in prison seven days.
Prisoner—l didn't deny it. I only said that the last
time I did not get seven days—(laughter)—l was dis-
charged ; but the time before that itfis quite true I did gel
it—and I had to do it.

Mr. lienry—You say you are married. What is your
husband, and where does he live. -
Prisoner—l must respectfully decline to answer that
question. He does not do anything for me, and when I
see him, as I frequently do, drinking with his concubines,
at the bar of publichouses, it hurts my feelings. (Laughter.)
I suppose I get excited. I, on some occasions, take a little
to keep up my spirits. (Laughter.)
Mr. Henry—As you don't reside with your husband you
must be in the habit of entering publichouses, or you would
not see him. Tell me his name. Ho ought to be made to
do sc mething for your support.
Prisoner—l've too much respect for him. lie, like a
good many others, is fund of gay women. That's what
makes me mad—(laughter)—but it don't make me drunk.
I may as well own that sometimes my brain wanders.
Mr. Henry—That's from your drunken habits.
Prisoner—Oh, no, it ain't. I think I ought to know
best about my habits. (Laughter.) I don't like to seemly
husband drink with his concubines—(laughter)—that':t all.o
and
lam the injured party ; so, if your worship will __
go this time, I'll try to abstain from excitement, u
patronise the drinking fountains. (Laughter.)an. you
Mr. Henry—Very well. I'll try you once a„
may be discharged.
Prisoner—l am exceedinglysir. Thank
you. Good morning. (Laughter.)

having been cautioned by the police
respecting his previous collections, the defendant said—" I
shall not send my hat round to-day as I have done on pre-
vious occasions, but if any of my friends wish to give me a
few coppers, or even a piece of silver or two, it will be
thankfully received, as I have scarcely had sufficient to
subsist on during the past week, owing to the limited sub-
scriptions I have lately received." Having cautioned him
that if he received any contributions ho would be taken into
custody, he said " I have been receiving them for several
Sundays past, and shall continue to do so," and then held
out his hand and received several pieces of copper and some
silver, and said he had as much right to do so as any organ-
grinder or monkey-leader in the streets. I then took him
into custody.
Defendant—l did not say anything about silver.
Peacock—You said " even a piece or two of silver."
Defendant—Did I hold out my hand till any was offered I'

Peacock—Yes.
Defendant—What the officer has said is pretty correct,
and he did say that if either I or any of my friends collected
subscriptions we should be taken. I resolved to test the
question before a magistrate. I have discussed the question
with the Hon. Mr. Cowper in the lobby of the House °I.,
Commons. It was Mr. Cowper's belief, as it was alsor°ll.Y„.
