LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
NEWSAGENTS AND CHANCERY DISPUTES....-IMPORTANT

DICISION.-BRUTON V. lIACKETT.

This was an action to recover a sum of money for cer-
tain newspapers, called the Sporting Opinion, supplied to
the defendant for sale. •

Defendant admitted having received the newspapers,
but said he had been served with a notice from a suitor in
this Court, under the provisions of the Equity Jurisdiction
Act, not to pay for the papers.
His Lordship asked if such notice came from this Court.

Mr. Osgood (the registrar) explained that there had been
Chancery proceedings in this Court in reference to a sport-
ing paper known as the Turf. Mr. Commissioner Kerr
had granted an injunction against the defendant in that
suit, Mr. Davey restraining him from publishing any news-
paper resembling the Turf. The notice handed in, how-
ever, had nothing to do with the Court.
Plaintiff --I havo nothing to do with the Turf at all.

Mr. Osgood—Do you know Mr. Davey ?
Plaintiff —I do. Ho was formerly in my service, but he
has nothing to do with me at all, nor with the Sporting
Opinion, which is a totally different affair to the Turf.
Defendant—l am perfectly willing to -pay the amount,
only I wish to know to whom I am to pay it.
His Lordship—The notice with which you have been
served does not come from the Court, and you must pay
the money to the plaintiff. You will be protected by the
order of the Court against any other proceedings.

Defendant—That is all I require.
The verdict then passed for the plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HpIISE,

Henry Roylance, a middle-aged man, was charged before
the Lord Mayor with having unlawfully in his possession
four table cloths, the property of the proprietors of the
City Club.

Charles Underwood, one of the City detectives, said that
about half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw
the prisoner in Old Broad-street, and noticed that he ap-
peared very bulky. He stopped him, and asked him what
he had got about his person. He took from him one of
the table cloths produced, which was concealed under
his loft arm, and-he told him he must charge him with
being in possession of it unlawfully, and that he must ac-
company him to the station. At the station he found the
three other tablecloths tied round his body with a piece of
string, and also a pound of butter. The prisoner said that
the things were given to him by one of the servants of the
Club, where he was employed as a labourer, or stable
helper. He gave the officer his correct address, and he
found the wife, who appeared to be a very respectable per-
son, there, and she told him she was not surprised at what
had occurred, as the prisoner had lately become addicted
to drink.

The tablecloths were identified by a female servant of
the Club as having been given out by her the day before
to be sent to the laundress who worked for the establish-
ment. She said that the prisoner had no right whatever
to hive the articles in his possession.
It was also proved that the prisoner was employed at
the Club for ten hours per day, at the rate of 4jd. per
hour.

Underwood said that he had found another tablecloth at
he prisoner's lodgings, and asked for a remand in order
hat it might be identified.

The prisoner, who admitted having taken the tablecloths
produced, was remanded until Thursday.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR CASE.—Michael Murray, a young man, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with
another man named Barrett now in custody, in committing
a burglary at the house of Mr. James O'Neil, 17, Meddon-
street, Regent-street, and stealing a quantity of clothes—
some partly made.
Barrett was charged at this court some days ago and
committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial, he pro-
testing his innocence.

The prosecutor said—On the Bth of July my place was
broken into and some coats and other property stolen. I
charged a young man named Barrett, and he was com-
mitted for trial. Last night the prisoner called upon me,
and I then accused him of being concerned in the burglary.
The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done,
and that if he had not been drinking he would not have
done it, and that he had come to give himself up. I sent
for a constable and gave him into custody.
The prisoner—l did not say I was guilty. lam inno:.
cent. I know nothing about it. .

Buckingham, 328 A.--I was called to 17, Hoddon-street,
last night, and on the prosecutor saying that the prisoner
had come to give himself up, the prisoner said, " Well, I
thought 1 might as well give myself up, as I have been
seen in the streets by several persons, and the other man
in prison is innocent, and ho did not want to see an inno-
cent man suffer, although the man had some of the pro-
ceeds of the robbery." I then took the prisoner, who was
quite sober, to the station.

In answer to the charge the prisoner said, " I heard the
prosecutor was looking after me, and I went to him to
know what he wanted with me. I met the man who took
the things in the City, and he asked me to come out of
London with him, and b3fore we went he sold the things,
but I did not know where they came from. I afterwards
went to Kingston with him, and then he told me all about

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

BRIGIITON RACES-WEDNESDAY.

The Cup day is considered- the most fashionable of the
meeting, the attendance, therefore, was much larger than
on Tuesday. The weather during the morning was very
boisterous, and as the hour approached for the first race the
prospects of a fine afternoon appeared remote, as the sky
was overspread with clouds, and rain cell heavily, but for-
tunately after the first race the clouds dispersed and the sun
shone brilliantly. The wind was not so disagreeable pon
the opening day, but it was still very high, and ladies ex-
perienced great difficulty in keeping their toilettes from its
rude strength. A match between NightwatchandForester
was placed on the card to commence the sport at 2 o'clock,
but being off by consent the actual business of the day did
not commence until half an hour later. The Ovingdeau
Plate, with 11 runners, produced a warm favourite in Vio-
lent, who won very easily by two lengths from Paris. The
Fifteenth Brighton Biennial Stakes, with but three runners,
was productive of some very lively speculation between
Trocadero and Cannon Ball, but the last-named was beaten
at the distance, and " the outsider" Mandrake, a remark-
ably good-looking colt, was left to do battle with the
French horse, who, howeVer, won by half a length. The
Cup, a very handsome Over vase of elegant workmanship,
portraying " The escape of Charles the Second from
Br:ghton to Fackham; near Havre-de-Grace," was of course
the most attractive race of the day, and when the five
starters were notified the interest was at its height. The
betting at the last moment was very heavy, both Tormentor
and The Duke being freely backed, the Oaks victrix at
one moment having a slight call, but before the flag fell
they were equal favourites, at 2 to 1, while Tourmalin,
at 5 to 2, eceived substantial support from the followers
of the popular " blue and yellow cap." Janitor was among
the starters to make the pace for his stable companion,
and the moment they were settled in their places he com-
menced his mission. The pace requires little comment,
for Tormentor was beaten a mile from home, and The
Duke, taking up the running when he liked, cantered
in a winner by 15 lengths, almost pulling Fordham out
of the saddle. The victory of the Marquis of Hastings was
received with great satisfaction by the general public:, loud
cheers greeting the winner and Fordham as they returned
to the enclosure. The remainder of the racing is suffi-
ciently described in the subjoined return, which contains
every detail of the running.

and 100 to 7 agst Mandrake. Cannon Ball made play with
a slight lead of Mandrake and Trocadero for more than half
a mile, when Lord St. Vincent's colt gave way, and Man-
drake came on with a slight advantage of Trocadero to op-
posite the stand, where the latter headed him and won
cleverly by half a length; Cannon Ball was a bad third.

tuous, 100 to 6 each agst Variation and The Masson. A
long delay at the post was occasioned by the restiveness of
Monitor, Variation, and Birkdale. When the flag fell
Monitor jumped off with the lead, but gave way to Caprice,
Birkdale, and Goldylocks, after going a hundred and fifty
yards, and they ran thus till half-way up the hill, where
Monitor rushed to the front, and never again being headed,
won easily by a length from Caprice ; Virtuous and Birk-
dale, close up with the second, finished a dead heat for
third place ; Wild Thyme was fifth ; The Masson sixth ;

Betting-7 to 4 each agst The Duke and Tormentor, 5
to 2 agst Tourmalin. -The competitors were dispatched at
the first attempt, Tormentor having a slight lead for a
hundred yards, when Janitor, forcing the pace for his
stable companion, took up the running with a clear lead
of Tormentor and Tourmalin side by side, The Duke being
about a length in their rear, while Rattler, outpaced from
the start, was beaten off before going a quarter of a mile.
Little variation in their relative positions occurred until
approaching the T.Y.C. post, when Tormentor, it was
evident, was beaten, and in a few strides further she gave
way. The Duke, who had been pulling over his oppo-
nents all the way, now ran up to Tourmalin, and Janitor
giving way, The Duke assumed the lead and cantered
home a winner by 15 lengths. Janitor and Tourmalin ran
side by side after coming into the straight, but the first
named in the last 50 yards drew away and finished a
