LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIR DAY.)

SINGULAR QUESTION OP PRACTICE-LEVY V. HAWKESLEY.

This case being called on, an Attorney said that he held
the instructions in the utur7oidably momentary absence of
Mr. Beard.

His Honour-1 see—an attorney instructed by an at-
torney. I cannot hear you.
Some discussion then arose upon this question, and it
was stated that it had been customary during the judgeship
of Mr. Gurney (the Recorder) and the late Mr. Pren-
dergast,

His Honour—ln this Court we cannot hear a barrister
unless instructed by an attorney, and it would be rather
hard upon the bar to permit an attorney, instructed by
another attorney. _ _

At this moment Mr. Beard came into court, and thus
saved further discussion. The debt being admitted, costs
followed.

PHILLIP Y. HOWEL-SHOCKING PERJURY.
(Before a Jury.)

This was an action which had been adjourned by his
Honour to have the opinion of a jury as to whether plaintiff
or defendant committed perjury.

THE DONCASTER DOINGS AND THE

Mr. Cooper, instructed by Mr. W. B. Davies, appeared
for defendant.

The action was brought to recover 28s. for a week's
wages, in lieu of notice.
Plaintiff said that when ho was engaged, defendant ex-
pressly said, " It is understood that it is to be a week's
notice on either side." In cross-examination, plaintiff said
he was paid piece-work.
A man named Amos then said he heard defendant agree
to the week's notice in " either way." In cross-exami-
nation, he said, " When plaintiff asked me in the shop if I
heard Mr. Howe agree to give a week's notice, I replied—
So help me God, Frank, he didn't." (Sensation.)
The Jury did not wish to hear any more, and found for
defendant.

His Honour, in giving costs, said ho should have com-
mitted plaintiff and Amos had there been a chance of a con-

ST. LEGER SUGGESTIONS.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA F.)

Turfites from all parts of England are en route
to Doncaster. Even as these remarks slip off the
pen, the streets of that prim Yorkshire town arc
echoing to the tramp of the incoming visitors, and
are resounding with the shouts of list sellers.
Horses, too, are rapidly arriving, the course is in
excellent condition, the weather promises to hold
fair, and the holiday folks and the professional tur-
fite alike calculate upon a pleasant and successful
race week. Interest in the St. Leger seems about
to revive, and Promised Land has not utterly de-
stroyed it. The minor stakes, too, will be marked
by most important results, and the two-yr-old races,
in particular, will be speculated upon with much
briskness.

A. CASE FOR THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.-Mr. John
Joseph Haberfield, a master tailor, of Sutton-street, Soho,
Wm. Delaparalle, and Wm. Simmonds, in the employ of
Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell, of Soho-square, were charged
with creating a disturbance and assaulting the police.
The evidence of constable Bunce, 88 C, and Byers, 43
C, was to the effect that on Saturday night, or rather Sun-
day morning, the defendants were all talking together and
making a great noise, and having expostulated with them,
and on their refusing to go away, he took them into cus-
tody, when Bunco was violently assaulted by Haberfield
and Simmonds, the latter of whom kicked Bunco several
times, they all being drunk.
Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for
the defendants, and said that the defendant Haberfield was
standing at his own door when he was dragged away by
Bunco, the only cause being that he had complained of his
not removing a drunken man; and the other defendants
being taken because they expostulated with the officer.
Several witnesses were called for the defence, whose evi-
dence went to show that the police had greatly exceeded
their duty—some of them saying their conduct was marked
with great brutality, one of the defendants being struck on
the head with the constable (Bunce's) rattle, and that the
bystanders cried " shame " at the officer's conduct.
The case lasted some time, and great interest seemed to be
felt in it. _

...._......_
Haberfield was fined 10s., Simmonds 205., and Dela•
paralle 10s.

To expatiate, however, on the prominent features
of the programme would be superfluous ; they are
familiar to the veriest turf tyro. The first day's
list is strong with its Champagne and Great York-
shire Handicap attractions. For the former Ma-
dame Eglantine has no penalty, and her winning is
regarded with much confidence, if—" much virtue
in if " Wells can only keep her quiet at the post,
and get her off on good terms with her
opponents. She may be opposed by both
Thormanby and Lupellus, both of whom have 51bs
extra to carry. Although I entertain no expecta-
tions of their ability to beat the filly, yet their
appearance in the lists will excite much curiosity,
as they are old antagonists.
The Great Yorkshire is likely to become a very
interesting and profitable betting race. Many
horses have already been backed for it, and before
the start I shall expect to see several fresh names
introduced into the list of quotations. The recent
performance of Underhand has increased the num-
ber of Paul's sipporters, and his chance, it must be
confessed, has not been over-estimated. The horse
is reported many pounds better than he was at
Newcastle, and if this be true, his "form" is quite
good enough to win. Nucleus has been backed
somewhat heavily both for this event and for the
C',-esarewitch, but I entertain very slender expecta-
tions of his chance. Coroner has been most satis-
factorily tried with Twilight, and his owner and
" the stable" have freely supported him ; still I do
not deem him quite capable of conceding ilbs to
Paul. Julia will not be stopped by her weight,
but she will, I fancy, find the company rather too
good to make a prominent figure. Mutineer has
gone up and down in the betting with an ominous
significance. He was to do wonders early in the
season, but he disappointed expectation. He has en-
joyed a long rest, but his pretensions to win a large
handicap are in my opinion of the slenderest de-
scription.
The Squire has been a little off, and although I
once entertained a great partiality for him, this cir-
cumstance compels me to place my confidence in a
sounder if not in a worthier champion. King-at-
Arms will find both the distance and the weight
militate effectually against his chance. Magnum
will in all probability be reserved for the St. Leger,
and Newstead alone will carry the Baron's colours
for the Handicap This horse has not yet shown
sufficient racing ability to induce me to regard his
pretensions with partiality. Although Defender
has figured in the quotations, I shall not be sur-
prised to see him withdrawn, and saved for the
more important encounter on the Wednesday.
Gallus may represent Sir Joseph Hawley's interest,
and may carry the " cherry colours" conspicuously
in the race. To refer to the other probable starters
would be useless—l shall therefore pin my faith to
Paul, and should Gallus go to the post I shall re-
commend an investment on him for a place.
Should Con tadina run up to the form which it is
asserted she possesses, she will perhaps snatch the
Filly Stakes from Emily.
The Glasgow Stakes is likely to preduce a very
interesting match between High Treason and Thor-
manby. Although the former possesses a good
urn of speed, yet I shall not desert Mr. Merry's

Mr. John Hall, whe has been established in business
many years, and who keeps a first-class ale and beer-house
in the Commercial-road East, at the corner of Stepney-road,
came before Mr. Selfe and asked his advice how he was to
act under the following circumstances :—A person named
Thomas Stowell, who was well known, and who had
brought numerous actions against licensed victuallers and
beer-house keepers, had recommenced his work, and had
served him (Mr. Hall) with a writ for permitting music to
be played in his house. He had a cottage piano to amuse
a few friends and customers twice a week. No charge was
made for admission, and no objection was made to it by his
neighbours, the police, or anyone else, and an action was
commenced by Stowell to recover a penalty of £lOO under
an old Act of Parliament.

Mr. Selfe—You must defend the action in the best way
you can.

Mr. Hall—l wish to know, sir, if Stowell can be com-
pelled to give security for the payment of costs on my de-
fending the action ?
Mr. Selfe said he wished to give advice on matters affect-
ing the public peace or the prevention of crime, but he
could not be the legal adviser to the whole district. Ho re-
sommended Mr. Hall to act upon the advice of a solicitor,
It was a matter over which he (Mr. Selfe) had no control.

colours.
For the Revival Plate I shall utterly abandon the
two-year-olds, and shall expect the winner to be
either Twilight or Mentmore.
The starters for the St. Leger will not exceed a
dozen, but they will perhaps fall short of that
number. The popularity of Promised Land is un-
diminished, and indeed the circle of his partisans
seems to widen, and the confidence of his
friends to increase. " The diabolical hints and
damnable inuendos" which have been thrown
out against the honesty of purpose which actuates
his party are, I am informed, merely malicious in-
ventions, and that they are as much in earnest with
"The Land" for the St. Leger as they were for the
Two Thousand and the Goodwood Cup. So much
has been written and said about his Derby running
—so much that was personal and unfair to his
trainer and jockey, and so much that was founded
merely on disappointment—that I shall not further
refer to the horse's Epsom performance, but shall
prove his claims to support by a reference to his
running at Newmarket and Goodwood. At both
those places he literally cantered away from his
opponents ; and whilst for the Two Thousand he
displayed undeniable speed, for the Goodwood Cup
he established a reputation for staying. He there-
fore possesses the qualities essential to constitute a
first-class horse. Some uncertainty exists as to the
jockey who will have charge of him, and it is stoutly
asserted in many quarters that his trainer and part
owner, William Day, will again be in the saddle,
whilst in others it is confidently stated that Alfred
Day will have the mount. William Day will be
very ill-advised, and very imprudent, to ride the
horse, and expose himself to the charges of some-
thing worse than incapaciy, which will be
made against him by disappointed backers of the
horse should he be defeated. For my part I expect
to see Alfred Day wear the Land's colours. Dane-
bury has, it would seem, withdrawn in favour of
Woodyates ; and both Marionette and Trumpeter
have disappeared from the betting with a sudden-
ness which is regarded by those who backed them
as fatal to their hopes. In Trumpeter I never placed
faith; in Marionette I once entertained hopes, as I
believed that his owner would not inadvertently—
I am sure he would not intentionally—connect
himself with large " milking " establishments.
People are watching with some anxiety for a sign
to be made in favour of Scott's horses. Although
neither Phantom nor Gamester have recently been
quoted in the betting, yet many individuals believe
that the Wizard of the North .will astonish the
sporting world with a repetition of his Newminster,
Warlock, and Impericuse tricks. At York Game-
ster was notoriously amiss, and the two severe races
which he ran there were not likely to be conducive
to his health. Still lam informed that he is well,
and if John Scott were to train and run a donkey
for the St. Leger I do not know whether I should
be inclined to discredit the possibility of his suc-
cess.

Mr. Hall said he would act upon the magistrate's advice

By all persons Summerside is regarded as the
most formidable antagonist to Promised Land, and
the favour bestowed upon her has been increased
since the reasons which led to her withdrawal from

her engagements at York have been Lsatistactorily
explained. Although I do not attach much im-
