CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT —(this Day).

THE " DEPT-FORD SPEC" PROSECUTION.

To-day the managers of the " Deptford Spec,"
Alexander Leislarnan, the proprietor, 10, Florence-
cottages, Deptford ; Alex. Walker, 12, Florence-
cottages ; Charles Clayton, stationer, Clarence-
place, Deptford ; William Daniels, Plumstead-
road ; Thomas Stephen Morris, dairyman, 25,
Ceutral-street, St. Luke's, surrendered to their bail,
to answer an indictment preferred against them at
the instance of the Government of illegally keeping
and carrying on a lottery on horse-racing contrary
to the statute 16th and 17th Victoria.
The defendants pleaded guilty.

It wi:l be recollected from the very full report of
the case which appeared in The Sun, when the de-
fendants were first examined at Bow-street before
Sir Thomas Ihnry, that Inspector Clark, Ser-
geant Palmer and Sergeant Suuerway of the detec •
tine department, Scotland-yard, went to Deptford
on the evening of the day prior to the pay-
ment of the money prizes for the City and
Suburban, and, on taking Leishman into custody
at his residence, 10, Florence-cottages, which was
used as an office, a sum of amounting to over
£1,490 was taken possession of, and also the lottery
wheel., tickets, &c., which had been prepared for
the various great race lotteries that were advertised
as about to take place. The defendantE, Alexander
Walker and Charles Clayton, were also taken into
custody at their residenc3, at Deptford. At the
residence of the latter was found an enormous num-
ber of draw tickets, enough to fill two or three
bushel baskets. The defendants Daniels and
Morris, although connected with the lottery, did
not reside at Deptford, and the defendant Farrah
was a newsagent and stationery, carrying on busi-
ness in the Strand, who it appeared sold tickets
for these various " specs," and at whose place
of business a number of similar tickets
to those found at Leishtnan's together with tickets
for the " Californian Spec.," the " Lucky Bag,"
the " Carshalton Spec.," and others were found.

The evidence to be offered was the same as that
already publishel, and related to the seizure of
the tickets and money, and to a description of the
draw for one of the " specs" which took place in the
beerhouse in the neighbourhood of Holloway.
For the defendants it was contended that they
bad not acted in any fraudulent manner,
but having been allowed to carry on the "spec"
without interference for the last six years, during
which which they had honourably met all their
engagements. '1 hey were under the impression
that their proceedings were not looked upon as any
serious infringement of the Act of Parliament. it
was also urged that hal notice to discontinue been
sent prior to the seizure it would at once have been
obeyed. 'ihe learned sogeant said if the money could
not be returned to Ow subscribers, the defendants
would give their consent to its being distributed
among the local charities.
Mr. Poland thought this an excellent suggestion.

The Recorder said the best course would be for
the defendants to enter into their recogaizances to
appear if called upon, and if there was a satisfac-
tory arraugement they would not be called upon.
The defendants then entered into their recogrii-
zances for £lOO each.
