Central Criminal Court—This Day.

OLD COURT.

George Brooks, Joseph New, Edward Prince, and
Thomas Clements, were indicted for violently assaulting
Sarah Russell, with intent, &e.

The prosecutrix admitted she had been drinking on the
day in question until late in the evening, when she left
the public-house in Old Brantford for her home. On her
road she met the four men, who, after walking a short
distance with her, began pulling her about. They also
had been drinking, and the result was that they all rolled
into a ditch. A man came up, and the prosecutrix asked
him to see her home, and the four men were given into
custody.

Brooks appeared to have been the person most to be
blamed, the others only occasionally taking Wart in the
scuffling.
The jury found Brooks guilty, and acquitted the other
prisoners.
• The learned judge sentenced Brooks to nine months'
imprisonment with hard labour.
This trial concluded the sessions.

OXFORD RACES-THURSDAY.

This pleasant two days' meeting was commenced to-day
on the Port Meadows. The weather during the forenoon
was very unfavourable, and doubtless deterred many re-
gular attenders living in the vicinity from putting in an
appearance. At two o'clock, however, the hour at which
the racing was set to commence, the weather cleared up,
and with the exception of an occasional shower kept fine
till the close. Those of the turf habitues who were at Wol-
verhampton came on to Oxford, and the special and ordi-
nary trains from the metropolis were crowded, so that the
attendance was nearly up to the average. The racing was
good, a capital card having been provided by the manage-
ment. Details of the day's sport are appended :
