THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY r, ENING. AUGUST 24,

TIIB BARON DE VIDIL.

The Baron de Vidil at the conclusion of the trial, and
after he had quitted the dock, was placed amongst the ordi-
nary prisoners in Newgate. He seemed to be greatly dis-
appointed at the verdict returned against him, as he had
fully made up his mind for an acquittal. _ _ _

The sentence, 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour,
will be carried out at the Hour= of Correction, Ca,ld-bath-
fields—the occupation of the inmates in that establishment
being either picking oakum or working " the mill."
The Baron will remain until Monday or Tuesday in New-
gate, when be will be removed to the above prison, and
there have to undergo the usual process of bathing, shay-
ing, and haircutting. He will also have to wear the prison
dress, which consists of a coarse hodden grey suit; with a
distinguishing badge on one of his arms.

The diet he will receive during his imprisonment will be
exactly the same as that served out to the other prisoners.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day)

OLD COURT. •
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
EMBEZZLEMENT.

Edward Key was indicted for embezzling certain sums
of money, the property of his employer.
The prisoner withdrew his plea of not guilty, and
pleaded guilty to the charge.

The Common Sergeant sentenced him to four months'
imprisonment.

There were two other ca, es t ) be tried, one in which the
defendant Morris did not surrender to his bail, and the
other a charge of highway robbery, in which the prose•.
cutor did not attend, and consequently the prisoners were
discharged.
This concluded the business of the session.

POLICE IarTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE " COMMISSIONAIRES•" AND THE " PUBLIC MES-
SENGERS."—A sergeant of Vie Commissionaires attended
before Mr. Yardley, accompanied by one of a body of men
who, being discharged from the corps, have started in a
similar line, wear a somewhat similar uniform, and who
call themselves " Public Messengers."
The Sergeant said he was requested by the Adjutant to
state that some of the men wore a similar uniform to theirs,
but that they were men who had been discharged for mis-
conduct. The man in court had by some means become
possessed of the insignia worn'on their caps (a sword and
anchor crossed in metal on a red ground of cloth), the wear-
ing of which deceived the public. All they required was
that the insignia should be returned.
Mr. Yardley to the Messenger—Where did you get it
from.
Messenger—l bought it of a man.

Sergeant—Tie being an old hand, your worship, ought
to know that discharged men are ziot at liberty to sell them,
and Captain Walter holds the die from which it is struck.
The men when they are discharged give up their uni-
forms, &c.

Messenger—As I bought it 1 consider 1 have a right to
wear it. It is my property.

Mr. Yardloy—Then a summons shall issue against you
fa- the illegal possession of it.
Messenger—lf I give it up at once will the summons
issue P

Mr. Yardley—No. You had better give it up.
The Messenger then gave up the required insignia.
It appears that some of the men of the Corps of Commis-
sionaires, having for misconduct been discharged, have
formed a corps and adopted a dress similar to that of the
Commissionaires, but wear on their caps the words " Pub-
lic Messenger," instead of that of " Commissionaire," the
latter having on.their collars also the letters "C. C." It
would be well, therefore, for persons to see whom they em-
ploy, so that a well-behaved and respectable body of men
should not have discredit brought on them.
The Messenger, in this case, said that if the magistrate's
decision was not against him all his companions meant to
have worn the insignia also.

A slight lead was obtained by Sweetbread soon after start-
ing, which was maintained until half way up the straight,
where Overton, Pea Hen, and Jackal! got up. Opposite
the stand Jackal! took the lead, and won easily by two
lengths ; Overton, Sweetbread, and Gauntlet came on nearly
abreast, the former beating Sweetbread by a neck, and a
head only divided the third and fourth, Acco was fifth, and
Pea Hen last, beaten off. The winner was claimed by Mr.
Treen, the trainer of Overton, and Acco was claimed by
Mr. Williamson, for Mr. Hilton.

Annette was the quickest on her legs, and came on with

from her by Commander, Annette second, Turn of Luck
and Imperatrice third and fourth, Dalesman heading the
next lot. As they came on to the distance Commander fell
back, and Annette a second time took the command. On
coming past the. Stand the front lot swerved over the course
very much, and Turn of Luck got up to the American

in a cluster, with the favourite bringing up the rear. Scent
continued with the lead round the back stretch and up to
the half-distance, where she was collared by Oxford, who
soon passed her, and won cleverly by threo parts of a
length. Miss Eleanor made her effort up the straight,
and quickly ran through her horses, and when passing the
Stand was third, but she could not reach the two leaders,
and finished a length and a half behind Scent. Wortham
was fourth, the rear of all being brought up by South

The instant the flag fell Defender, as in his race for the
Oxfordshire Stakes, jumped off in front, and before a quar-
ter of a mile was covered he was leading a dozen lengths,
having the Lawyer second,with Optimist close at the latter's
quarters, evidently having orders to wait upon the favou-
rite, with Bay Shirley. Half way along the far side Opti-
mist shot out and quickly passed the Lawyer and De-
fender, but he was not permitted to continue in front for
long, as The Lawyer a mile from home passed Mr. Ten
Broeck's horse, and came on along the straight (hard held),
Defender falling back in the rear, at the distance Optimist
and Bay Shirley got up to The Lawyer's quarters, but
could not get closer; The Lawyer winning easily by a
length ; Bay Shirley was a bad third ; Defender did not
pass the post.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

Bally Edmond is not in great force for the Ebor Handi-
cap in this morket ; 8 to 1 was taken to a little money, but
it was also offered. Lady Trespass was very firm, whilst
Virgilius receded to Bto 1 (offered). Prologue was freely
laid against, and as freely backed ; and it was difficult to say
which were the stronger party, the layers or backers. A
commission to back Voltella, after some trouble, was got on
at 100 to 9 ; immediately afterwards 100 to 8 was offered and
100 to 7 laid, but at the close 100 to 8 was the highest offer.
We had a very full attendance of the members, but the
business done was almost confined to Lady Trespass and
Prologue. Closing prices :=
