SPORTING NOTES.

NOTHING NEW.

So many important demands were made upon the
columns of The Sun, by the extraordinary disclosures on
Palmer's trial, that I departed from my expressed inten-
tion of placing my " notes" before the reader on Wed-
nm;day last. I had, however, nothing to communicate,
unless, indeed, I had described the chop-fallen counte-
nances of the "proud SalopianP," whose meeting, despite
the exertions of Mr. Frail, was an unmitigated failure.
On the Tuesday foul weather marred the sport, and en
Wednesday the Manchester gathering took off all the
principal turfites. The racing, at either place, was not
remarkably interesting, the double defeat of
Typee, on the banks of the Irwell, being
perhaps the most important " feature" of the week.
By the way, I see that both Stork and Lambourn were
placed in great peril on Wednesday. For the Manches-
ter Meeting they were located at Broughton. The stable
in which they stood caught fire, and they were with
difficulty rescued. Stork was much frightened, and
kicked and plunged so violently that he hurt himself.
The Manchester men may be well proud of their
meeting, for it has attained a wide-spread popularity,
and the legitimate means which are adopted to provide
sport will ever render it worthy the support and patron-
age of all classes of turfites. The executi• e department,
under the direction of Mr. Bake, is most efficient. I
understand that the list of attractions will be still
further strengthened by next year by an increase o
added money. Racing men, too, enjoyed their
ease at their inn to the top of their bent, for the charges
were moderate enough, and contrasted most agreeably
with the extortionate demands which they had just ex-
perienced at Chester.
The Bath Meeting will take place on Tuesday and
Wednesday next. During the two days some important
demonstrations will be made relative to the Derby. On
Monday I will discuss the promise of sport and throw
together some rough notions relative to the Great
Coming Event at Epsom. A FRESH MAN.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
THE TIPPERARY BANK.

Yesteiday the case of the English shareholders
was brought to a conclusion, but the Master re-
served his judgment. Their counsel confidently
expect that several of them—if not all—will have
their names expunged from the list of contributories.
Mr. O'Driscoll, on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Langston,
claimed to be beard.

The Master said he could not hear him, as his client
Lad not made an affidavit. Unless he could swear that
he had been misled in the purchase of his shares he would
find it a difficult matter to get rid of his liability.
Mr. O'Driscoll said he was beard on Tuesday when he
opened an affidavit of Mr. Hynes (his client's solicitor.)
The Master said that if a person purchased in the
market what he considered to be valuable shares, how
could anything that occurred afterwards liberate him
from the position in which he placed himself ? It would
be contrary to every principle regulating such matters to
hold that he could get out of that position. If Mr.
O'Driscoll's client wanted to make out a special case of
imposition or fraud he should do so in the proper legal
manner.

Mr. O'Driscoll said he would procure the affidavit
necessary to enable him to be beard.

The Master said that in a case of so great magnitude
and importance as this was he would give to every party
the fullest opportunity of putting forward his case, his
desira being to save expense to suitors.

Mr. M‘fionough, Q C., replied on behalf of tie official
manager, and pointed out that, under the 43d section of
the deed, power was given to the directors, in case of a
vacAncy on the board occurring by death or otherwise,
to fill it up until the next annual meeting of the pro-
pri,tars. Messrs. Keating and John Sadleir accepted
office as directors by consenting to sign the certificates,
and, as between the parties before the Court, they could
not now be heard saying that they were not then direc-
tors. Before concluding the learned counsel read an affi-
davit of Mr. M'Dowell, the official manager, which
stated, amongst other things, that he had obtained pos-
session of the books, papers, and documents of the bank,
and had carefully examined the minute book, the stock
ledger, and the registry book ; that the minutes of the
proceeding did not show that any court of directors, ac-
cording to the provisions of the deed was ever held far
any purpose whatever ; that the provisions of the deed
respecting the approbation by a court of directors of any
issue of new shares hat been habitually disregarded;
that there did not appetr to have been any rules or re-
gulations in the bye-laws made by the directors as to
the manner in which the subscription for or transfer
or any shares should be made and registered in the share
registry book of the company.
The proceedings were adjourned to this morning.
The Limerick Chronicle states that

"Mr. Sadleir, a little before his destruction, had the
vanity to say that ho should send four clerks in the
Tipperary Bank to grace the Senate, as members, on a
dissolution of Parliament."
