THE EA.RL OF WESTMORELAND AND
- THE RACING TIMES:

This Noble Lori 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 iu 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,
25th Sept., 1666.
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," in
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,
Howl. AND MURRAY.
The Publisher of the Racing Times,
18, Catherine-street, Strand.
