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 Melton. 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 his slbs extra, will, I fancy, carry
off the New Stakes. I have, however, been cautioned
about Thunderbolt. •

A FRESH MAN.

CRIMINAL CO URT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice Crompton and Baron Bramwell.)

Francis Ingham surrendered from last session to an in-
dictment preferred under 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
house and personal expenses, made up a book in which
certain items were increased, so as to bring up the sum un-
accounted for, namely, £349.

Counsel for the defendant contended that he had com-
mitted a foolish act but not a fraud, and that there was not
tittle of evidence to show he had defrauded his creditors;
on the contrary, it proved quite the reverse.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
guilty, but judgment was respited until the question raised
by the defendant's counsel, viz., whether it was an offence
within the Act of Parliament shall have been further
argued. In the meantime the defendant was allowed to go
at large on bail.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

ROBBING A FATHER.

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

The father v as, by request of the judge, called into
court, and in answer to certain questions said he had done
all a father could do to save his child from ruin. He had
for eighteen months, although his means were extremely
limited, maintained her in a reformatory, but immediately
she quitted that establishment she returned home, and after
robbing him of a quantity of clothing, went off to Chatham
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 reforma-
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.
