THE EARL OF WESTIORELAND AND

THE RACING TIMES.

This Noble Lord has commenced proceedings against the
publisher of the above journal for some remarks by a cor-
respondent respecting Kenyon's riding of Rama in the
Leamington Stakes. The writer of the alleged libel stated
that Kenyon must be the strongest light weight in Eng-
land to have kept Rama behind the moderate lot of horses
opposed to him in that race ; but ho must have very little
knowledge of sporting affairs, or he could not have made
such a mistake, as Kenyon did not ride in the Leamington
Stakes. The following correspondence, which we have
authority to publish, has taken place between the respec-
tive solicitors on the subject :-
7, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar -square, London,
25t1 Sept., 1866.
Sir,—The Earl of Westmorland has consulted us on the
subject of a paragraph in page 5 of the Racing Times of
Monday, 17th September instant, under the heading,
"Doncaster Races, from an Actor's Point of View," iu
which there is a statement which can have but one mean-
ing, viz., that Kenyon, in riding one of Lord Westmor-
land's horses in the race for the Leamington Stakes, wil-
fully lost the race, and cheated the backers of the horse out
of the money they had staked on him.
We are instructed to commence an action on Kenyon's
behalf against you (as the publisher of the paper) for the
libel, and shall be glad to be informed of the name of your
solicitor to whom we may send the writ.
We are, yours obediently
HORN AND MURRAY.
The Publisher of the Racing Times,
18, Catherine-street, Strand.

4,Sergeant's Inn, Temple,
29th Sept., 1846.
Gentlemen,—l have been consulted by the publisher of
the Racing Tinges with reference to your letter of the 25th
inst., throateaiug proceedings against him on behalf of a
jockey named Kenyon, in consequence of an alleged libel
contained in the impression of that publication dated the
17th instant. I am quite unable to understand how you
can place such a construction as you do upon the para-
graph complained of, and I am instructed by my client to
say it never was his intention to convey any such mean-
ing. He has carefully perused the article which has given
your client offence, but he cannot see anything in it cal-
culated to do him the slightest injury. If you will show
me in what way Kenyon can possibly suffer from the con-
tents of that article my client will most willingly insert
any reasonable explanation • but if, on the contrary, you
insist upon resorting to legal proceedings, I will undertake
any process you may think fit to issue.—l am, gentlemen,
your obedient servant, Wu.JAQUET.
Messrs. Horn and Murray, Solicitors,
7, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square.
His Lordship has also forwarded the following amusing
letter to a contemporary as an acknowledgment of its
receipt, and as it is such a unique epistle we think it worth
quoting :
