SPORTING NOTES.

FROM ASCOT.
A glorious day's sport was celebrated yesterday amidst
glorious weather. The Heath was not too crowded, and
the company was distinguished•. by that aristocratic cha-
racter and that calm enjoyment which renders a trip to the
Heath so pleasant. The racing possessed much importance,
for it was marked by more than a transient interest. The
overthrow of Lupullus by Thormanby for the Biennial
Stakes strengthened the opinion which many people
entertain respecting Lupullus's lack of staying
powers, whilst Thormanby's running satisfactorily
proved his stoutness. The youngsters brought out
yesterday were perhaps as good looking a lot as we are
likely to see on one day. King of Diamonds is a fine,
slashing colt, with much of the cut of his sire, King Tom,
about him. In the last race Leprochaun was made the
favourite, but he disappointed his party. He will, I take
it, however, yet do something worthy of the reputation
which preceded him from Malton. Lady Falconer improves
daily, and the filly by Longbow out of Venus has nothing
particular about her. The defeat of Leamington for the
Vase has altered the betting on the Cup materially. Saun-
terer may now be sent for it, and should the black'un
be in trim he will, I fancy, put out the light
of North Lincoln. Still, as I am writing in uncertainty
about him, I shall throw in my net with Fisherman, whom
I have seen gallop as strong and as well as he did on his
best day. Still he will have to meet North Lincoln on 71bs
better terms than he did at Epsom ; but the Baron's colt is
not • a sticker, and I do not think the extra weight will make
much difference to " old Fish." Indeed of the three years
old I prefer Bevis.

Thormanby, despite kis 51bs extra, will, I fancy, carry
off the New Stakes. I have, however, been cautioned
about Thunderbolt.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(77116' DAY.)

•
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Crompton and Baron Bramwell.)
Prancis Ingham surrendered from last session to an in-
dictment preferred -tinder the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Act, by order of the Commissioners in Bankruptcy, for
misdemeanour by making a false representation' of his ac-
counts with intent to defraud his creditors.

The defendant pleaded not guilty.
From the evidence it appeared that the bankrupt had, in
order to surmount the difficulty of explaining the item of
Douse and personal expenses, made up a book in which
e.tertain items were increased, so as to bring itp the sum un-
accounted for, namely, £349.
'6ounsel for the defendant contended that he had corn-
to itted a foolish act but not a fraud, and that there was not
a tittle of evidence to show he had defrauded his creditors;
fru the contrary, it proved quite the reverse.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
g uilty, but judgment was respited until the question raised
b y the defendant's counsel, viz., whether it was an offence
N 7ithin the Act of Parliament shall have been further!
e rgued. In the meantime the defendant was allowed to go
e ,t large on bail.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
ROBBING A FATHER.

Mary Ann Dixie was indicted for stealing a quantity o
Tearing apparel, the property of her father, Edward Dixie.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.

The father was, by request of the judge, called into
c ourt, and in answer to certain questions said ho had done
all a father could do to save his child from ruin. He had
1 or eighteen months, although his means were extremely
[limited, maintained her in a reformatoiy, but immediately
she quitted that establishment she returned home, and afte r
robbing him of a quantity of clothing, went off to Chathan
with a man. He thought she had been led away by bad,
associates.

The learned Judge,in passing sentence, feelingly addressed.
the prisoner, and remarked that she must be an exceedingly
ungrateful person to rob her father, who had for a consider-.
able time impoverished himself by trying to bring her to a
true sense of her shame by maintaining her in a reformal•
tory asylum. He thought the only chance of the prisoner
changing her mode of life was to separate her from her
companions.

She was then sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment.

BURGLARY.
William Pilgrim pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with burglary.

The learned judge said it was fortunate the prisoner was
riot known, or he would have received a much severer
riunishment.
He was then sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
Edward Cavanagh was also indicted for a burglary in a
dwelling house.

The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Previous to passing sentence, the learned Commissioner
asked if the prisoner was known ?
Police-constable 171 D said he had been in prison some
time ago for four months. Ho had also been in two refor-
matories for some months.
The Judge, addressing the prisoner, said it was clear he
well knew the danger he was incurring in again returning
to crime. The sentence of the Court might appear severe,
yet it was, in fact, a merciful one, as it would remove him
from a gang that would eventually be brought to justice. It
was, that he kept in penal servitude for six years.

THIS DArs MARKETS .

CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of Monday's supply of English wheat
was on offer in to-day's market. The attendance of buyers
was rather limited, and sales progressed slowly, at 3s to 4s
per quarter beneath last Friday's currency. -
We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat.
Even the finest samples were quite neglected, aid prices,
generally, were nominal.
..••••
In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
There was a moderate business doing in barley, at late
rates. Malt was very dull, but not cheaper:
Oats moved off slowly, at Monday's decline in value.
Beaus, peas, and flour were very dull, at barely stationary
prices.
