SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES-THURSDAY.

It was to be expected that the Town Moor would to-day
present a marked contrast to yesterday. Nevertheless, the
attendance for an " off day" was exceedingly good, and the
weather being extremely fine an enjoyable day's sport was
the result. The racing was of average quality, and the
fields pretty numerous, but no particular feature occurred
worthy of further comment than will be found in the fol-
lowing details :

Pearl, 6 to 1 agst Sundeelah, 7 to 1 each agst Norwood,
Holstein, and Lively, and 8 to 1 agst King Charming.
After several breaks away, occasioned by Norwood, who
obstinately refused to join his horses, a start was effected,
Lively being the first to show in advance, closely attended
by Dolan and Sweet Anne, Holstein heading the others,
who ran in a cluster, with the exception of Norwood, who
was several lengths in the rear, but as they approached the
rifle butts he ran through his horses and joined the leading
division, but again gave way as they rounded the bend into
the straight, where Sundeelah and King Charming, who
with East Lynn had been lying in the rear, came through
and joined Sweet Anne, who, however, took up the run-
ning, and won very easily by three parts of a length from
King Charming, who defeated Sundeelah by a neck, Lively
was a good fourth, Dolan fifth, Lady of Coverdalo and
East Lynn next, the last to pass the post being Pedant.
Norwood within the distance broke his fetlock, and was
with great difficulty led from the course on three legs. He
was afterwards destroyed.

to 2 agst Knight of the Garter, 5 to 1 agst Harpenden,

and 100 to 6 agst Arundel. The Promised Land colt was
the first to show in advance, but after going a few strides
he gave way, and Moleskin took up the running with a
slight lead of Knight of the Garter, Grand Cross, and
Tumbler, Knight Errant, Star of India, and Lochaber being
most prominent of the others, the rear being brought up
by Harpenden, who was joined by the Promised Land colt.
Little variation occurred until fairly in the straight, when
Grand Cross was passed by Knight Errant, Star of India,

and Lochaber, the three joining Moleskin and Knight of
the Garter after passing the distance. A hundred yards
from home the three placed drew away, Moleskin having
the best of a terrific struggle to the last stride, when Star
of India just got up and won by a head. Knight of the
Garter was beaten a similar distance only for second place
Half-a-dozen lengths off Lochaber was fourth, the Prelate
being close up with him. Knight Errant was sixth, Grand
Cross and Policy next. The beaten-off lot comprised

curred at the post, but after several breaks away a good
start was effected, The Czar, closely attended by Lady
Sophie, being the first to show in advance, followed by
Skylark and Gardevisure, the most prominent of the re-
mainder being Musician and Miss Williams. Little altera-
tion was observable in the leading division until they
reached the distance, where The Czar and Gardevisure
gave way, and Lady Sophie was left with the lead, but

in a canter by two lengths. A length and a half separated

The St. Giles's Murder.

At Bow-street Police-court this day, John
Richard Jeffreys was brought up on remand on
the charge of murdering his son Arthur Richard
Jeffreys. Less excitement prevailed than on the
former occasion, a misapprehension having arisen
as to the day on which the prisoner was to be
brought up. He had originally been remanded for
a week, but before the commitment was signed
circumstances were mentioned which induced the
learned magistrate to alter the date to this day.
The following evidence was then given.
Henry Foster said—l an inmate of Lambeth Workhouse.
On the 29th of July I was living at 15, Great White Lion-
street. The prisoner at the bar came there that day. It
was on a Sunday, and ho came between 10 and 11 o'clock
iu the evening. 1 was out for some beer and found him
there on my return. I will not be quite certain that it
was as late as 11, as I had no cluck in the room, but I ant
sure it was after 9.
Mr. Vaughan—Did he come alone, or had ho a child
with him ?
Witness—He had his son with him. The child has
been living with his grandmother.
Mr. Vaughan—Did you have any conversation ?
Witness—Yes, and part of the time it was talking about

religion. lie told the child to say its prayers, and after
the boy had done so he asked why he had said prayers,
and the child replied, because he wanted to go to bed.
Prisoner then said, "Is that all you say them for ? " and
the child said yes. I then spoke to the prisoner and told
him not to bother the child, but let him get a sleep.
Mr. Vaughan—Was that all the conversation you had
with the prisoner ?

Witnes —Yes.
Mr. Vaughan—What did the prisoner come to your
place for?

Witness—A night's lodging, I believe. Ho did not say
so to me, but he did to my wife. I know he and the child
went to bed, and that he left our place between one and
two o'clock.
Mr. Vaughan—Did you say anything to him about
leaving at that 'hour ?
' Witness—l almost implored him to stay. He said "No,"
and told the little boy to dthss himself. Ho went on to
remark that they were both 'going into the country—a
long way off. He told the child when he was going away
to shake hands with his aunt, as he woald never see her
again. There was some food in the cupboard, and I told
the boy to take some of it, but the child said ho was not
hungry. The prisoner, however, took two of the
cold potatoes and put them in his pocket, saying that he
might want them on the road. When my wife was re-
monstrating with him about taking the child away, he told
her to mind her own business. There not being a light in
the room ho wont out, and shortly after he returned
with a candle and matches. Prisoner cut the candle
in two, and told the little boy to put his hand in his
pocket and take some paper out. The child did as it was
directed, and the candle being wrapped in paper the pri-
soner put it into his pocket, and having taken some lucifer
matches out of the box that he had brought in with him
he threw the box containing the remainder on the floor.
They then went away.
Mr. Vaughan— Did you see the dead body of the child
in the dead-house the next morning ?
Witness—No, sir, my sister did. I have not seen the
child since ho left.
Mr. Vaughan—Have you ever heard the prisoner use
any expressions about the child ?
Witness—About a fortnight before he came to our house
I heard him say that he did not believe the child was his.
Mr. Vaughan—Do you recollect what led to that ?
Witness—We were having some conversation about his
wife. . .

Mr. Vaughan—Was he irritated when he said that?
Witness—Ho appeared as if he had been drinking.
Mr. Vaughan—You never heard observations of that kind
before, have you ?
Witness—l have heard him say that the child should
not be a trouble to any one much longer.

Mr. Vaughan—When would be about the time when
you heard that?
Witness—l cannot say, but I should say it would be
within a period of two or three months.
Mr. Vaughan—ls there anything else that you wish to
add to your evidence ?

Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Vaughan to prisoner—Do you wish to ask the wit-
ness any questions ?
Prisoner—Yes ; one or two. Addressing the witness--
Did I not assign a reason for leaving your room?

Witness —No.
Prisoner—Didn't I say that the bugs bit so sharp that I
was compelled to get up ?
In answer to further questions from the prisoner,
the witness said—l believe you are given to
swearing when you have been drinking. I have
never placed particular constructions on your language.
You may have said that you considered yourself justified
in living with another woman as your wife was living
with another man, but I did not take any particular notice
of what you said further than that the child should not be
a trouble to any one lung. I have seen you illuse the
child once very much. Formerly you appeared to be very
fond of the boy, but latterly you seemed to have altered
altogether towards it.

Prisoner—Did I ever use anything but my hand to
correct the child ?

Witness—No, never, that I saw.
Prisoner—Did your Wife ever have to take care of the
child ?

Witness—Yes ; when she did you paid me 3s. a week for

doing so.

Prisoner—Did you ever see me take any unbecoming
liberties with the child ?
Witness—No, never.
Prisoner—Did your children ever complain to you that
I had taken any liberties with them ?

Witness—No.
Prisoner —Did my child over make complaints to you
that I had acted cruelly towards him ?

Witness—No.
Prisoner—Did not my child seem as ready to come to me
as yours did to you ?
Witness—l can't say that. Your child did not seem
eager to go to you.

Prisoner—l've nothing more to ask you.
Mary Collett said—l reside at 15, Great Earl-street, and
on the morning of the 30th of July I had occasion to go
into the cellar of that house to get some water at about a
quarter-past six in the morning. I then saw the body of
a boy hanging. I immediately rAn up stairs and told my
mother and father, and shortly after that the police con-
stable arrived. The body was hanging in the same state
when the policeman came as it was when I first saw it in
the morning.

Mr. Vaughan--Do you wish to ask this witness any
questions ?
__

Prisoner —No ; n one.

Mr. Vaughan—ls the outside door of the house left open
at night?

Witness—Sometimes it is left open, but I cannot say
positively whether it was open or shut on the Sunday night,
but I believe it was open.

Mr. Vaughan—Then, if the outside door was open, any
one could go down stairs from the street into the cellar.

Witness —Yos, sir. ----
Mr. Vaughan—Have you ever seen the prisoner, at the
bar, before ?
Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Vaughan—Then ho did not live in the house.
Witness—No, sir.

Agnes Ingram—l reside at 16, 131eydell-street, Fleet-
street. I know the prisoner at the bar for about 9 months.
He lodged in our house for about three weeks before the
murder. Ho left on-the WedneSday before the 30th of
July. I have washed two shirts and a pocket-handkerchief
for the prisoner. The handkerchief that I speak of was
similar in colour and pattern to the piece now before me
[The portion of the handkerchief here referred to was that
found tied round the hands of the murdered boy.] The
last time I washed the handkerchief was about a week be-
fore he wont away. I never saw his son, but the prisoner
has told me he had a little boy, and he wanted to bring it
to our house to stop for a day.
Mr. Vaughan—ls there anything peculiar with respect
to the handkerchief ?
Witness—When I washed the handkerchief I noticed
that it was hemmed with black silk, and I was going to
ask the prisoner whether he hemmed it himself. I see the
piece of handkerchief now in my hand is hemmed with
black silk, and it is in all respects similar to that I have
mentioned.
Dr. Harvey, recalled. He said—When I first saw the
body of the boy ho had been dead about one to two hours.
The body was warm, but the limbs were stiff.
Richard Holden—l reside at 15, Great White Lion-
street, Seven Dials, and am a tailor. I hays known the
prisoner at the bar for a long time. Ou one occasion the
prisoner had been sleeping in my room, when he got up in
the night, and on awaking I found him sharpening a knife.
I asked him what he was going to do, and he said ho was
going to cut the throat of his boy and grandmother. I
said to him, :‘ If you go out and a constable sees you with
that knife, sec how you would be situated." Prisoner con-
sidered for a bit, and then took the knife out of his pocket
and returned it to the drawer from which he had taken it.
Thisweek
etkook
Mr. Vaughan.—Was he sober at the time ?
Witness.—Oh,
yes ; be was quite sober.
Prisoner.—Have you never heard the boy say that he
had two fathers ?
Witness.—Yos ; I recollect once hearing him say so.
Mr. Vaughan.—Did you tell the prisoner that the child
beforePlce lastwheCn I lived at 2G, Tower-street, and about
aChristmas.
had said he had got another father ?

Witness.—Yes.
Prisoner.—And didn't you say you thought there was
something wrong ?

Witness.—Yes:

Prisoner.—Have you ever heard that ray wife had had
a child by another person ?
Mr. Vaughan-4 don't like to interfere, but I don't think

these questions have anything to do N rith the present
charge.

Prisoner—My life hangs upon the result of this inquiry,
and I think 1 ought to ask all the questions I think neces-
sary.

Mr. Vaughan—Very well, then, go ou. I will not stop
you again. _ _

Prisoner—l don't think I need ask the witness any
further questions on the present occasion, but I shall
hereafter. I should like to ask Dr. Harvey a question.
Mr. Vaughan—By all means do so.
Prisoner—Addressing Dr. Harvey, in your post morteni
examination, did you find that the child had keen used for
an immoral purpose ?
Dr. Harvey—No.
Prisoner- Could you have discovered it if it had?
Dr. Harvey—Yes, I think I could.

I John Follis, a constable in the West Riding of York-
I shire police, said—l live at Triange, in the township of
Sorbey, in the parish of Halifax. On the Bth of Septem-
ber the prisoner called at home. I heard him ask
whether the policeman was at home. I heard
my wife say yes, he was upstairs in bed, and
then the prisoner told her he had something important
to say. When he saw me he asked whether he could make
a statement to me. I told him ho could say whatever he
pleased. He then asked me whether I thought he could
murder his own child. He then said he would go
and get something, and then tell me all about it.
I watched him to the Triangle Inn, when he came out with
a Bible in his hand. I asked him what they called
him, and he said John Richard Jeffery, or other-
wise Samuel Mortimer. Ile said I am charged with
the murder of my own child in St. Gile'ss, London,
and there's a .£lOO reward offered for my apprehension.
After this I determined to arrest him, and told him he
must consider himself my prisoner. I cautioned him when
he began to speak, that whatever he told me I should
repeat it in evidence at the trial if necessary. He said he
was a married man—that he had one child, a little
boy about six years old, and that he was named Arthur
Richard Jeffery. He further said that he last saw the boy
on the 30th of July, when he loft his sister's
house in the Seven Dials about 'two o'clock
in the morning. He told me he had never
had any comfort since he had been married, now about
seven years ago, as his wife had left him for another man.
Prisoner said ho was burn in Richmond, Virginia, that he
had broke the law, and the law must decide his fate. He
further remarked that he should say nothing then, but
when the judge put the black cap on he should tell a tale.
As we were going to Halifax the prisoner asked for some
beer, which was given him.

Mr. Vaughan—Was the prisoner sober when he made
this communication to you ?
Witness—He had been drinking, but he *as not drunk.
Mr. Inspector West, of the F Division of Police, said—
On Monday last, from information I received from Supe-
rintendent Durkin, I proceeded to Halifax, in Yorkshire.
I arrived at the est Riding police-station about half-past
9. I was introduced to the prisoner Jeffreys by Superin-
tendent Copeland, who said to the prisoner, " Here's an
officer from London come to see you." Prisoner turned
me, smiling, and said, " I've been expecting you down,
and I thought you would have been here before this."
After he was identified by witnesses that accompanied me,
I said, "Now, Jeffreys, I shall apprehend you for wilfully
murdering your son, Richard Arthur Jeffreys, by hanging
him in a cellar at 15, Great Earl-street, Seven Dials." He
answered, "But I have surrendered myself. I knew that
I must be apprehended at some time or the other from the
accounts in the newspapers, but I don't say that I am
guilty of the murder. My reason for giving myself up was
on account of the papers accusing me of the murder, but
the laws of this country must prove me guilty." With
that I was about turning towards the cells when ho called
the man who had indentified him "Bill," at the same time
smiling, "I thought it was you, old boy, who gave my
description ; but here, shake hands with me, 1 bear you
no malice." On the following morning I brought the pri-
soner to Bow-street.

llr. Vaughan—Did you cause the prisoner to be searched
for after the 30th July in London ?
Inspector West—Yes, your Worship.
Mr. Voughan—And your search was ineffectual ?
Inspector West—Quite so.
superintendent Durkin—That, sir, is the whole of the
evidence for the prosecution, and upon which I ask for the
committal of the prisoner for trial.
Mr. Vaughan—Prisoner at the bar, you have heard the
evidence against yau. If you have anything to say why
you should not be committed for trial now is the proper
time to do so.

Prisoner—l should like for a remand for a day or so be-
fore I say anything.
Mr. Vaughan I cannot grant a remand. The case is
closed, and it now becomes my duty to convict you for
trial at the sessions, which commence on Monday next.
Priaoner—l am not prepared with my defence now, and
there's only till Monday—
Mr. Vaughan—You must make application to the judgo
for postponement.
Prisoner—l've nothing to say, but that I still deny the
act.

The witnesses were then bound over, and the prisoner
fully committed for trial in the usual form.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ALLEGED SYSTEMATIC SWlNDLlNG.—Frederick Barnes,
described as a hat manufacturer, of 52, Harley-road West,
was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, by Thos

rials for making hats, &c., of the value of £175, from Mrs.
Ann Long, a widow, residiag at 83, Gower-street, Bedford-

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great
Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and; in
opening the case, stated that there would be other charges
against the prisoner on a future occasion.

Mrs. Long said—ln the month of August last I had a
hat making business in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital,
for sale. In consequence of an advertisement for the sale
of the business by tender, a man named Rowley called on
me and said he had a friend who wonld purchase the busi-
ness. The next day the prisoner came and looked at the
stock, and offered me £175. Besides the property included
in the tender I agreed to sell the prisoner a few things for
£lO 75., and the prisoner found the ready money for
them. The prisoner said he was a hat manufacturer, in
John-street, Clerkenwell, and that he had a first-
class business in Princes-street, Leicester-square. Ho said
some of the goods were too good for Clerkenwell but would
suit the West-end. He said ho had a country house, and
agreed to give £175 for the stock and business. On the
30th of August last the prisoner called and apologised for
not being able to pay ready money, in consequence of his
broker having disappointed him in the sale of some Metro-
politan Railway shares. He slid he would give him a draft
for £175, payable in seven days, if he would accept it,
and in the interim the prisoner would pay for the shares. He
also said that his bankers were the London and County
Bank, Shoreditch branch. Ho produced a piece of paper
purporting to be the draft, with his acceptance across it,
and I signed it. He then wrote a receipt for the draft,
and I signed it. I waited 7 days, and then went to the
bank, and found the prisoner was not known there, and had
no account there ; " no account" being written at the bank
on the supposed draft. On calling at a shop in Clorken-
well, and seeing the prisoner and telling what had occurred
at the bank, he appeared to be very much offended with
the persons at the bank, and said he would speak to some
of their customers about their conduct. He further said
that why they were offended with him was because he had
withdrawn his money from the bank at the time
of the panic. He promised to call on me the next
day, but did not do so, and on my son going
to Princes-street he found no person of the name of Barnes
kept a hat shop in the street. I afterwards went to the
prisoner's shop in John-street, Clerkenwell, and found it
closed, the prisoner having left suddenly. I then applied
for the warrant.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—The prisoner will be remanded.

WESTMINSTER.

NATIVE SIMPLICITY.—A good-looking young woman,
about eighteen years of age, came to the court this morn-
ing, and, addressing Mr. Flowers, the presiding magistrate,
said, "I am afraid a man won't pay me for my child, and
I wish you would be good enough to make him."
Mr. Flowers.—ls he the father of it?
Applicant.—Oh, yes ; of course he is.
Mr. Flowers.— Have you ever sworn the child to him ?
Applicant.—No. Must I ? Can't you help me without ?
Mr. Flowers.—No, I cannot. Ho is not bound in law to
maintain the child without an order is made upon him to
that effect. You must summons him, and then I can com-
pel him. Has he given you any money for the child?
Applicant.—No ; I can't get to see him. I have done
all I could. I went yesterday to his house with the child,
and saw his wife, and I offered her the child, and told her
she could do as she liked with it. Although it is his
\child, he is not my husband.
Mr. Flowers.—That's the worst of it. There would be
very little difficulty if he were. You are single, I sup-
pose ?

Applicant.—Yes, I am, although I have a child. I
should be better off, of course, if 1 was married, but I ain't.
I don't know what lamto do with the child. His wife
won't have it, and won't let me see him.

Mr. Flowers.—There is nothing very extraordinary,
perhaps, in that. If you can produce the necessary corro-
borative evidence, you can have a summons.

Applicant brawled out that she could, and took the
summons.

THAMES.

TEE FVRIOUB MRS. ROBINSON AGAlN.—Sarah Robinson
who is about 50 years of age, and has been in custody re-
peatedly for drunkenness, assaults, and outrages, 1,7"8
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently
beating her husband last night.
Robert Robinson, a tall and hard working man, of No.
6, Mary-street, Limehouse, said ho was a shipwright, and
the prisoner was, to his great misfortune, his wife, the
bane of his existence. She had heaped sorrow and trouble
on his head. They had five children, and only one, a boy
aged 11, was at home. His wife came out of prison last
Saturday, after an imprisonmon: of two months. She had
been intoxicated and making a disturbance ever since
Yesterday she went out and returned in the even-
ing gloriously intoxicated, and commenced abusing
him and threatening him. She pulled 'him off
a chair and struck him with it, hit him with a fender, and
declared she would kill him. He was afraid she would
carry out her threat.

Mr. Partridge—Where did oho strike you with the

ender ?

Witness—She threw it at me and knocked me down:—
The prisoner—He knocks me about and illusos me. He
continually gives me blows.

Frederick Betts, landlord of the house in Mary-street
said the prisoner had been 12 months in prison in the course
of the last two years. Last night she was either drunk or
mad. She threw pieces of lighted paper down the stairs,
and on the staircase, and threw newspapers on them
for the purpose of setting tho house on fire. She struck
her husband with a candlestick, and threwhim down stairs.
The complainant was a quiet, respectable man, and lived
with his son in the greatest harmony before his wife came
home. She was a dangerous nuisance.
Mr. Partridge —The prisoner is sentenced to one month's
imprisonment and hard labour.
The complainant—How am I to be protected iu future ?
Mr. Partridge—Come here if she annoys you again. The
case is over.
