THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS'S STUD.—The following
are the horses belonging to this nobleman which will be
disposed of by Messrs. Tattersall ou October 29 ;—Ack-

4, Sergeant's Inn, Temple,
29th Sept., 184 G.
Gentlemen,—l have been consulted by the publisher of
the Racing Times with reference to your letter of the nth
inst., threatening 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 pars-
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, Wm. JActITET.
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 :

"My Lord,—l writ uto say that a long time since from
information i received i back-d your horse Thalia for the
Cesarwitc and i had a £lOO on the mare at 1,000 to £lO to
win me 10,000 when you struck her out—i have since got
on Potomac for a 100 at 66 to 1 and i am on Thalia fur the
Cambridge £lO,OOO to £lOO for that event and i write to
say if you will make a good race of both i will in the event
of Either winning i will as a man of honour send you a
checqe after the race for one hundred pounds and £lO for
the trainer and £lO for tho Lad that rides and you will also
have my beet regards. —I am my lord yours respetfully
"A GENTLEMAN OF HONOUR."
