Water jump, died away, and was eventually pulled up, the

berton and Brandy Apple for his immediate attendants, a
long interval separating them from Sinite, the rear
being whipped in by Sportsman. They ran with little
material alteration till after passing the stand, when
Brandy Apple took the lead, increasing it on the
far side to fifty yards. This had the effect of cutting down
his opponents, Sinite and Lord Douglas pulling up in the
Plough, while Cutler, completely pumped out, came to pia
at the next fence. Little remains to be said, as Brandy

CROYDON RACES.

of the snow.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—Tms Day.

Tho postponement of Croydon Steeplechases enabled
members to attend the Club, where, despite the wretched
weather, a fair muster assembled. The feature of the
meeting was the renewed attention to Proserpine for the
Chester Cup, for which the mare left off de-
cidedly the favourite. She was also named in con-
nection with the Metropolitan, but in that direction
no actual :business was done, since layers refused to
advance on 15 to 1, though at a couple of points more
the 3rd for the Cesarewiteh would have been supported
"to money," as would Dunsany at 20 to 1. Plaudit re-
mains remarkably firm for " the Guineas," and
to-day old/ 3 to 1 was offered. The Rake would have
been supported at anything over 8 to 1. The others
quoted for the Derby were quiet, at their prices, with the
exception of The Palmer, Ivito advanced to 28 to 1, which
was taken to win about 45,000.

TRAINING QUARTERS.

(THIS DAY.)

The majority of the horses engaged for the early
handicaps, as well as for the Two Thousand Guineas
and the Derby, have been driven to their straw beds,
snow having continued to fall, in some training dis-
tricts, especi.►lly in the north, most heavily through-
out the present week. At the commencement of
the week the snow did not lie so deep, and
horses, by means of gutta percha pads to their
feet, to prevent " balling," were enabled to
still patronise the wolds, moors, and downs,
and take steady gallops. Now, however, trotting
and cantering exercise is about the extent of what
they are set to do. It is vury seldom, though, that
snow stays long in this month, and we have no
doubt training operations will be actively resumed
in the course of a day or two. The ground, never-
theless, will be in a heavy or rotten state for some
time. We are glad to report that the majority of
the important stables can show a clean bill
of health. At Richmond, Watson still places
implicit faith in Plaudit for both the 2,000
and the Derby, and also in Newland for the
Chester Cup. Wild Agnes has been fired for curby
hocks, but is all right again ; and Proserpine won
a great trial with the Lizard, which accounts for
the advance of the Littleton mare in the Roodee
market. Marksman, though very forward, is not
likely to run for the Two Thousand, and The
Palmer is receiving a special Derby preparation, Sir
Joseph Hawley having every confidence that he
shall win the £50,000 bet about his colt beating the
Hermit for paces in the Blue Riband conflict.
Miner has been going in his old form, and appears
sound again.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OIDIVORCE.

Before the Bight Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special
Jury.)
*WHITE T. ITIIITE AND FIELD.

The hearing of this somewhat complicated divorce caso
was resumed this morning, the same counsel appearing as

on a former occasion.
The case for the respondent and co-respondent rested
principally upon the doubtful character of the evidence
adduced by the petitioner, and it was also alleged that the
suit was iustituted in order that General White might be
enabled to marry again.

Mr. White stated that he had known General White for a
long time, and that ho had had many conversations with
him on the subject of the divorce. On one occasion wit-
ness met the general and shook hands with him, when he
said, "I am surprised that you should notice me—all my
friends have cut me." Witness replied that he had heard
that he (the general) wanted to got a divorce, because he
would then be able to marry a young girl in Scotland.

Cross-examined—Witness hued told the general ho could
get him a detective, that he knew a friend in Scotland-
yard. This was to obtain evidence against young Field
Witness could not find his friend, and they went to Co'.
Frazer, and he advised them not to employ a detective.
He had not said that if the girl Ellen: Blockland
would not give them any , information that the
general should go to the.; brother and promise her
that if she would get the information required he would
assist in furnishing her son-in-/aw's house. Witness did
not say this would be bribery, nor that he knew how to
arrange the matter. He believed there was some unplea-
santness between Mrs. Field and Mrs. White, on account
of Mr. Field's attentions to the latter lady. He had casually
heard that Mr. Field was going to Aix-la-Chapelle to
fetch home his daughter. When General White asked
him to obtain evidence against the elder Mr. Field, he was
very indignant, and would have nothing more to do with
it. The separation of General and Mrs. White took place
in January, 1863. The General was gone about a year to
the Sandwich Islands.
Re-examined—He advised him to go to Colonel Fraser,
to ascertain whether, in employing a detective, he was
throwing away hie money or not.
Jamey Purdey stated he was a gunmaker in Oxford-
street. He knew Mrs. White when she was a girl. Before
she went out to England she was under the charge of his
parents as ono of the family. Mr. Field married one of
his sisters. Mrs. White went to school with witness's
sisters. 6he used to go to Mr. and Mrs. Field fer advice
and assist, ince. Mr. Field was her medical attendant. He
never saw anything iu Mrs. White's conduct to induce him
to believe that there was anything improper between her
and Dr. F,:eld. Goa. White intimated to him that he should
like
a gae, and h
geti.adivoreee because he knew a person he would
marry wished he could catch "Nellie trip-
ping." Ha c.tme again to witness and asked him if he could
give him any information about the younger Field, and
added that no had employed a detective, but that he had
been unable to find out anything. He, however, antici-
pated that some details might be obtained from an old
servant who i vas about to be married. He never seemed
to have any suspicion of his brother-in-law at any time.
Cross-examined—Until 1865 General White never hinted
at any suspicions against Dr. Field. He only asked wit-
ness about Arthar Field. He never said that Mrs. White
was always " hankering after man," and always had some
dark man after-bar. _ _

Mrs. Rosa White said she was the wife of Dr. White
and was a sister of the respondent. Sho returned from
India in 1853. She went to India in 1834. Before she
went to India she bad lived with Mrs. Purdy. Mrs.
White lived tltexe, too, ihe went out to India with wit-

ness. Witness knew Mrs. Field ever since she could re-
member. She had known Mr. Field since 1847. Mrs.
Field had been married in 1837. Mrs. White, when wit-
ness came home, lived in Westbonrne-park Villas. She
visited her, and stayed with her. When witness returned
to England in 1853 she renewed her intimacy with Mr.
Field. She had left her children with him. Mr. and Mrs.
Field constantly visited witness and her sister. Dr. Field
was on terms of affection with both of them. He had
them in the presence of their respective husbands.
Mr. White was in a very bad state of health, when
witness returned to England, and required medical atten-
tion. Visitors constantly staid with Mrs. White, her
niece, sisters, dm Witness did not know of one instance
in which visitors had not been staying in the house.
Cross-examined—Witness never heard that Mrs. White
was going back with Mr. White. She was not fit to go
back to India. Witness did not recollect that Dr. Field
had said that Mrs. White ought not to return to India.
Witness returned to India in April, 1854. Dr. Field very

likely might have kissed her, sitting on a sofa in a back-
room. She bad heard of a disagreement between Mrs.
Field and Mrs. White; that was in 1857.
Re-examined—Witness did nut know what the disagree-
ment was about, but Mrs. White went to Mrs. Field and
complained Of something, and words arose.
Mrs. Eliza Greenaway said that she was niece of General
White, and her husband was a major in the Madras army.
The respondent brought her up. They resided at various
lodgings in 1850 and 1851. They often visited Dr. Field.
Witness often heard her aunt consult Dr. Field. She went
out to India to reside with General White in 1851. Her
aunt came out about the end of that year, but fell ill
again, and witness returned to England in 1852 with her.
In March, 1853, they resided in Charles-street. Witness
was with her all that time, with the exception of a short visit
to Ireland. It was the first week inAugust, and returned
somewhere in the middle of October. Mrs. White
went to Scotland. They parted at Crewe. She could
not remember what servant there was at Charles-street.
Dr. Field visited her when she was ill, daily. He stayed
about half an hour. Witness lived with Mrs. White in
Michael-terrace, in 1854. She recollected a servant leav-
ing in Michael-terrace, but she was not in the house at
the time. Dr. Field attended witness, in fact all the
family. The witness then corroborated the statement as
to the people who stayed with Mrs. White in Michael-
terrace.

The case had not concluded when we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE WAX CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO COMMIT
ROBBERIES. —John Gilbert, a boy.about 12 years of age,
was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing some articles
belonging to his stepmother, Mrs. Sarah Gilbert, of No.
12, Chapel-street, Tottenham-court-road ; and Mary Carr,
the keeper of a clothes shop at 22, Market- street, Fitzroy-
square, was charged with receiving the articles with a
guilty knowledge.
The prosecutrix stated that she was a widow, and the
boy her stepson. She went out to work on Tuesday morn-
ing, and when she returned in the evening found some of
her boxes broken open, and several articles, including some
cloth and a shirt, taken away. She ascertained from the
prisoner's sister that he had left at two o'clock in the
afternoon under the pretence of going to school, but she
saw no more of him till yesterday evening, when on re-
turning home she found the boy there, when he ad-
mitted having broken open the boxes, taken the articles,
and sold them for 3d. She then gave the boy, who had
Once before been in custody, in charge.
Police-constable Thaxter, 176 E, said that the boy
having told him where he sold the articles he took him to
Carr's shop, and the boy pointed out a petticoat as one of
the articles he sold Carr, stating that Carr had only given
him 3d. for the things. He afterwards took Carr into cus-
tody, when she said that she gave Is. 3d. for the articles.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutrix stated that hhe
had never sent tho boy to the shop to sell things, and
Carr was an entire stranger to her.
After being cautioned by Mr. Knox, the prisoner Carr
said that when the boy came to the shop he said Lis.
mother sent him to sell the things, and that he had a
sister lying dead. Believing his story, she gave him ls. ad
for them.

The boy said he asked 6d. for the petticoat, and Carr
;ook up all the things and said, " 6d. for the lot," and he

ook it.

Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial, and told the
prosecutrix to inform the judge that the boy had been in
custody before.
