SOMNAMBULISM—On Saturday morning last, be-
tween twelve and one o'clock a Custom-house officer on
watch in Leith Dock was just enabled in the darkness. to
perceive a man in his night• dress on the deck of a Britpb
schooner within a tier of vessels a short distance from him.
He kept his eye fixed steadily on the man, and at last be.
held him proceeding leisurely along the bowsprit of the
ship, when ho suddenly dropped about an arm's length and
there remained suspended. The thought flashed across the
mind of the officer that it was an attempt at suicide. The
stillness of the hour, the drop, the motionless appearance, as
it were, of the man with the first shock, and afterwards the
drawing up of his legs, might well haveconvinced him that
it was so. The officer threw off his coat, rushed to the
deck of the schooner, and aroused the seamen, who were all
in bed, next jumping into a boat attached to one of the
vessels. Great was his surprise at perceiving the man who
was suspended cling to it. "Is that you Bob," cried one
of his companions, who had started in alarm to the deck,
but he received no answer. "Is that you, Jim," he called
again, and was answered " Yes." Without 'making any
further remark, and being once more safe on board, the man
retired below. The seaman was a somnambulist, and had
appeared, as described, in a sound sleep. He had merely
clung in his suspension to a rope. In that position he re-
mained for two or three minutes, and only when exhausted
dropped into the water.--Caledonian--CaledonianMeregry.

The loving cup having been made to circulate,
and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts duly
honoured,

The LORD MAYOR, in flattering terms, gave " The
,ord Chancellor and the House of Lords."

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in returning thanks,
observed that he presented in his own person an
illustration of that peculiar characteristic of the
distinguished body to which this compliment re-
ferred, viz., the freedom with which it opened its
portals to those wha could not boast of high
hereditary rank. In this respect the British aris-
tocracy differed from almost all other aristocracies
in the world. They were not hedged in by exclu-
sive privileges—they were not separated from the
rest of the people, but they were blended and in ti-
mately mixed up with the other sections of the
community, of which they formed an integral part,
like the Corinthian capitals which completed as
well as adorned the pillars of the noble hall in which
they were now assembled. It might be that amid
the excitement of the hustings or under the exhila-
ration of an after•dinner speech they heard invec-
tives against the exclusive privileges of the peers
and the narrowness of their order, and were even

told that the very wars which this country bad
waged had been solely owing to a desire to aggran-
dise our aristocracy. But when the hour of sober
reflection returned, we found these declaimers dis-
posed to do the House of Lords justice—to acknow-
ledge that it was an essential element of the consti-
tution, the mainstay of the monarchy, and the friend
of the liberties of the people. (Cheers.) It might be,
indeed, that measures which appeared to have the
favour of the public were scmetimes too long re-
sisted ; but the strength and security of our institu-
tions required that when grave questions had been
tossed upon the waves of popular passion, they
should also pass through the ordeal of calm inves-
tigation and deliberative revision. Parliament was
now about to proceed to the discharge of its im7

portant duties, and the House of Lords would
doubtless be found faithfully performing its pecu-
liar functions. It would evince no desire to obstruct

any reforms which might be useful for the progress
of our social system, but while seeking in all.things
to promote the public benefit, it would also strive
to fulfil its peculiar mission of preserving and
handing down to posterity unimpaired the noble
constitution under which we had the happiness to
live. (Cheers.)
" The Bishops and Clergy" having been given,
and briefly acknowledged by the Bishop of London, ,
The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Judges in
Equity," to which Lord Justice TURNER responded,
taking occasion to comment upon the honesty which
generally animated the commercial classes of this
country, tracing this characteristic to the free
spirit engendered by our corporate and municipal
institutions.
The LORD MAYOR next gave the " Health of the
Common Law Judges."
Lord Chief Baron PoLLocx, in returning thanks,
said there was one novelty in their proceedings
that evening—viz., that whereas it had been
generally understood that equity followed law, the
rule had now been reversed, and law had been made
to follow equity. (Laughter.) Having remarked
upon the historic fame of the city of London as the
cradle of liberty, and pointed out that it s citizens

concluded by giving the health of its present Chief
Magistrate.
The MAYOR acknowledgedothe ntobteioecompli-
ment,
and then introduced t
assemblage the name of one who, he said, was the
most successful diplomatist of the age, and the raan
who had done more than any other negotiator to
extend the commerce and the influence of England
throughout the world. He meant the Earl of Elgin,
whose services as Governor of Jamaica, as Governor-
iGnencehrinalao 1' Canada, and as British Plenipotentiary
and Japan were too well known and too
mniversally appreciated to render it necessary for
him now to recount them.
The toast was received with marked enthusiasm.
The Earl of ELGIN rose amid loud and continued
cheering. He said,—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and
gentlemen, I can assure you that I am using no
words of course when I tell you that I am utterly
overwhelmed by the kindness of this reception, and
by the terms in which my name has been intro-
duced to your notice. You can well imagine how
gratifying it must be to a servant of the public who
has been engaged for a considerable period of time
in a distant part of the globe in the discharge of
duties of a peculiar—and, perhaps without exagge-
ration I may be permitted to say of a somewhat
arduous—nature to be greeted on his return home
with a welcome such as has been accorded me to-
night by a company presided over by the chief
magistrate of the chief city in the world, and corn•
prising among other distinguished guests that illus-
trious man on whom the freedom of the city has
been this day conferred, and who is one of that
noble band of heroes who, combining qualities the
most dissimilar—the sagacity, thecalmness, and the
prudence of the statesman with the fortitude, the
quickness of vision, and the energy of the soldier—
have contributed to replace more securely than ever
on its foundations that mighty empire of England
in the East which for one moment, and for one
moment only, seemed to be :tottering. (Cheers.)
Ah! my Lord Mayor, I remember that moment.

It
was my task, in pursuancq of what I be-
lieved to be my duty, to proceed to Calcutta at the
critical period of August, 1857; and I shall never
forget, to my dying day—for the hour was a dark
one, and there was hardly a countenance in Calcutta
save that of the Governor-General, Lord Canning,
which was not blanched with fear shall never
forget the cheers with which the Shannon, the
vessel which had been assigned to me as my float-
ing mansion, and which I was then hastening to
place at the disposal of the Government of India,
was greeted as she sailed up the river, pouring forth
her salute from those 68-pounders which the gallant
but lamented Sir W. Peel sent up to Allahabad, and
from those 24-pounders which, according to Lord
Clyde, made way across the country in a manner
never before witnessed. (Cheers.) I hope I may be
pardoned if I own at this moment to a certain feel-
ing of exultation, tempered, I trust, with a devout
sentiment of gratitude to Almighty Providence,
when I am reminded, by the vicinity in which I
have the good fortune to find myself to-night, that
it was from the force destined for China, and by a
stretch of authority on my
own part which was
perhaps unprecedented, that the two regiments
which were then holding Bengal against the rebels
and which were panting under the command of the
dauntless havelock to proceed to the relief of Luck-
now, and of that brave warrior, Col. Inglis, with
his noble wife, the sharer not of his danger alone,
but also of his courage and fortitude, were rein-
forced and enabled to achieve the prodigies of valour
which have rendered them illustrious. (Cheers.) I
have, my Lord Mayor, accepted your invitation on
this occasion with great gratification. It has been
my lot to live for some time in a country boasting
of laws and of usages, some of which are not wholly
unworthy of imitation, together with a morality
which, to judge from the precepts contained in its
books, should be of a pure an elevated character.,
In that land, however, one thing is wanting, and
this defect neutralises all the merits of its system.
The integrity of the administrators of its laws in
dispensing what, by a little touch of irony, is some-
times denominated justice—(a laugh)—is cer-
tainly not entirely above suspicion. Thus a moral
gangrene eats into the heart of a social. system,
introducing wide-spread corruption and decay. The
wandering Englishman—and I am sorry to say
that I belong to that category—when he returns
home, after an absence however protracted, finds
that not only in respect of disinterestedness and
impartiality, but of wisdom, learning, and indepen-
dence, the judges of this country hold as high a
position as they ever did ; and whatever may have
been the case with public men in other spheres of
activity the judicial bench at least have lost nothing
in the estimation of their fellow-citizens. (Cheers.)
But if I have passed a somewhat severe sentence on
China, I must say it possesses some securities
against mal-administration which ought, according
to received opinions, to prove highly efficacious. In
the first place, all its public functionaries of every
class pass repeatedly through that ordeal which
many ardent reformers in this country believe to be
an infallible test, not only of capacity, but of every
other qualification—viz., through a competitive
examination. (Laughter.) I think it is a matter
of custom rather than of positive enactment, but
the practice in China is for every official of high
rank placed in a position of great difficulty to
accept it with the comfortable assurance that if he
fail to extricate himself creditably from his em-
barrassments, he is perfectly certain sooner or later
te, terminate his career by decapitation. (Laughter.)
That is a system no doubt attended with some in-
conven ienc ies. It presses sometimes rather hardly on
individuals. But it provides vacancies, and operates
in that way unquestionably as a powerful encourage-
nient to enterprising young men desirous of entering
the public service. (Renewed laughter.) Still, if
that practice were introduced into this country, I
can't help thinking it would create considerable
perturbation among the heads of departments. At
any rate, it would have a strong tendency to reduce
the plethora of Prime Ministers and that kind of
determination of blood to the head which now ap-
pears to be the disease from which England is
likely to suffer. (Laughter.) The result of my
experience in the East is that competitive exami-
nation, even when supplemented by decapitation,
is not an adequate substitute for that manly mora-
lity which is the product of our free constitution and
of the characteristic training of our countrymen.
(Cheers.) The late Parliament, which died an un-
natural death, although it was elected for the ex-
press purpose of looking after affairs in China,
nevertheless observed during the whole of its exist-
ence so discreet a silence on that subject as neither
to have asked for nor received any communication
whatever with respect to our proceedings in that
quarter of the world. (A laugh.) The consequence
is that if, in obedience to your invitation, I were
now to begin to open my heart on the question of
our diplomatic relations with China, I might un-
warily and unwittingly betray some secrets of
State, and, after dining so luxuriously under your
lordship's auspices, I might breakfast to-morrow
much more frugually under the auspices of the
Constable of the Tower. (A laugh.) lam anxious,
however, that over-sanguine expectations should
not be raised respecting the issue of recent events
in China and Japan. On a former occasion, after
a much more partial opening of China, it was stated
that Manchester would not be able to provide
enough goods for one province of that country; and
those in whom these hopes were excited were sub-
sequently disappointed. lam anxious that the
error should not be repeated. Yet, when we talk
of 400,000,000 of people, it is really difficult to
avoid statements that seem to savour of exaggera-
tion. I have been told that the best way to calcu-
late the future extension of our commerce in these

regions is to reckon how much cotton it would
take to provide nightcaps for these 400,000,000
of Chinese, and then send an order to Man-
chester accordingly. Now, really, my acquaintance
with the Chinese and Japanese does not enable me
to say whether they wear nightcaps or not ; but,
if they do, certainly the quantity of cotton that
would be required to pack up their long tails
would be something enormous. (Laughter.) I
know, however, that these 400,000,000 souls wear
blue cotton blouses, and that they dress in other
garments of the same material; and, though in
China the ladies are habited exactly like their
lords, I have never heard that the practice is at-
tended with the domestic inconvenience supposed
in England to flow from such a circumstance.
(Laughter.) But, to speak seriously, China and
Japan are now open to British enterprise. The
barrier which separated 400,000,000 of human
beings from their fellow men has, as far as inter-
national engagements can effect such a result,
now been broken down. I have never exaggerated
the part which diplomacy has had to play in these
matters. I said a year ago at Shanghai, when
the treaty was concluded, that after force and ne-
gotiation had finished their work the labour of
establishing our commercial intercourse with
China on a proper footing had only begun. I hold
that our manufacturers must task their ingenuity
to the utmost if they would supplant the, native
fabrics produced in the leisure hours of an agricul-
tural and industrious people. But though the
great work commenced by the feeble hand of diplo-
macy has to be completed by the vigorous brain
and stalwart arm of the British manufacturer, we
have 'no reason for despondency. Indeed, I am
confident that the enterprise now begun will lead
aEnndg and
to a vast development of the commereeof
and introduce a new era of prosperity
civi-
lization for a large portion of the human race.
(The noble Earl concluded amid loud cheers.)
The next toast given was " The Bar of England,"
for which the Attorney-General responded, and the
company shortly afterwards retired.

LAW INT.ELLIGENE—June 3.

EQUITY COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
INGRAM V. STIFF.-" THE DAILY LONDON
JOTTRNAL."
Mr. Rolt (with whom was Mr. Speed) moved for
an injunction to restrain the defendant Stiff from
printing, publishing or selling any newspaper or
other periodical under the name of the Dady Lon-
don Journal, or under any name or style of which
the words " London Journal" should form a part,
and from doing or committingany.act or default
that might tend to lessen or diminish the sale or
circulation of the plaintiff Ingram's periodical
called the London Journal. The learned' counsel
stated that Mr. Ingram, in September, 1857, bought
of the defendant the copyright of the London
Journal, then the property of the defendant, for
the sum of £20,000. That sale was duly com-
pleted and the assignment of the property regis-
tered. As a part of the transaction the defendant
Stiff covenanted that he " would not directly, or
indirectly, alone, or in partnership with any other
persons, engage himself or be concerned in bring-
ing out or publishing any weekly periodical of a
nature similar to the London Journal, selling 'at
one penny per copy, or commit any act or default
that might tend to lessen or diminish the sale or
circulation of the said periodical, or the profit to
be derived by the plaintiff from the printing or
publishino. thereof." The London Journal was
published' until the spring of last year at Mr.
Stiff's office, notwithstanding the assignment ; but
at the period just mentioned the publishing depart-
ment was transferred to the plaintiff's office, which
is on the opposite side of the Strand to Mr. Stiff's.
It was a matter of complaint on the part of the
plaintiff that some time since the defendant com-
menced a penny periodical called the Guide, similar
in form to the London Journal. Respecting this
an action had been brought at law. On the let
June the defendant, had, however, commenced the
publication of another penny periodical called the
Daily London Journal. This was the periodical
the publication of which it was now sought to re-
strain. It was asserted that the insertion of the
word " Daily" was merely a colourable alteration of
title such as the public would be likely to overlook. In
support of this proof was given that letters intended
for the defendant's paper had been delivered at the
office of the plaintiff's journal.
Mr. Edwin James and Mr. De Gex, for the de-
fendant, contended that there was not any violation
of the covenant. That which was complained of
was a penny paper, not what was properly under-
stood by a periodical, Nobody who saw the broad
sheet of the Daily London Journal could suppose
that it was the illustrated periodical which was the
property of the plaintiff. The two things were
entirely distinct ; hence there was no violation of
the covenant, and no case for an injunction.
The Vice-Chancellor said that the plaintiff rested
his case on fraud, by which the defendant could not
be allowed to benefit after having received no less
than £20,000 for the sale of his journal. The work
sold differed in its name by one word only from that
against which an injunction is now asked. Why
did the defendant select that particular name when
setting up a penny newspaper ? The evidence
showed that already persons had addressed letters
to the plaintiff's office, using a wrong name, and
meaning to address themselves to the defendant's
place of business. The defendant could not com-
plain of hardship, for he had brought it upon him-
self by his own conduct. He had been guilty of
that which justified the court in granting the motion
in the terms asked. The Court did not think that
this was a case in which the plaintiff should be put
upon any terms as to damages. The rule as to
damages did not apply to cases where there had
clearly been gross fraud.

(Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.)

IN GRAM V. STIFF.-THE " DAILY LONDON JOURNAL."

The plaintiff in this case was the proprietor and
publisher of a weekly publication called the London
Journal and Weekly _Record of Literature, Science,
and Art ; the contents of which were, not the news
of the week, but tales, novels, and articles of a
literary and scientific character. The copyright of
this publication, after it had been in existence 14
years, in the course of which the work itself had
obtained a very large circulation, was sold by the
defendant, the original proprietor, to the plaintiff
in 1857, for £20,000. The printing of the work
was continued from the time of the sale at the
defendant's office, No. 334, Strand, till April, 1858,
when it was removed to the plaintiff's office at 140,
Strand. Soon after this defendant became the pub-
lisher, at 334, Strand, of a new work, issued weekly,
and entitled The Guide to Literature, which was
alleged by the plaintiff to be, in all but its name, a
fraudulent imitation of the publication of which
the plaintiff had purchased the copyright. The
defendant, not satisfied with this, had also com-
menced issuing the Ist of the present month, a
daily newspaper bearing the title of the Daily
London Journal. Upon an application before Vice.
Chancellor Wood made this morning, the plaintiff
obtained an injunction restrainingr the defendant
from printing, publishing, or selling the journal
bearing the title of the Daily London Journal, or
any other journal of the title to which the words
" London Journal" should form part. The ground
of the Vice-Chancellor's order was, that in his
opinion, the use by the defendant of the title in
question was fraudulent and improper as against
the plaintiff, and an infringement of the copyright
which the defendant had sold to him. _ _ _

From this order the defendant now appealed by
motion to discharge the Vice-Chancellor's order.
Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., and Mr. De Gex, ap-
peared in support of the appeal ; and Mr. Rolt,
Q.C., and Mr. Speed, contra.
The Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that consi-
dering the sale by the defendant to the plaintiff in
1857, and the covenants then entered into by the
defendant, hethought the title Daily London Journal
adopted for the publication, though a daily one,
which the defendant had commenced on the Ist of
the present month, was too suspicious to allow of
the dissolution of the injunction granted by the
Vice-Chancellor. At the same time he thought the
case in one sense might be open to doubt, and it
would therefore bebut reasonable that there should
be an undertaking given by the plaintiff, and that
the injunction should be continued, the plaintiff
undertaking, in the event of its dissolution or mo-
dification, to abide by any order of this court as to
damages, and by the defendant toebrinrr his action
within a week—the defendant to be allowed, with-
out reference to any question in the action of
damages, to publish the impression of the Daily
London Journal to-morrow morning.
The Lord Justice Turner said it was unnecessary
for him to give any opinion upon the case, further
than saying that he felt considerable doubt whether
this injunction ought to have been granted at all.
He should have had no doubt had the defendant
adopted the title of the Laity Journal without the
word " London."

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
V. MAUD.-SPECIAL
MAUD (IN FORMA PAUPERIS)

JURY.

This was a suit arising out of a codicil, executed
on. the 29th of October, 1857, by Mr. John George
Maud, late of Croydon. The testator was formerly
an auctioneer annd wine merchant, but for the
last twenty-eight years of his life had been
a member of the corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms.
He had had 17 children, but only 13 sur-
vived. He left property worth about £B5O a year,
which, by a will made in 1850, he left first to
his wife, and then directed it to be divided equally
amongst his children. The codicil in dispute con-
. tained the following clause--" I renounce Lavinia
'BaileY Maud. my daughter, from any benefits
arising from my will ; but should she follow in the
_ paths of virtue and obedience to the wishes of my
dear wife and my executors, they may give her by
instalments, if they think proper, the sum of 4200."
The testator died in about a year after he had exe-
cuted this document. It was propounded by the
defendant (Mrs. Maud) and resisted by Miss Maud,
on the ground of her father's testamentary incom-
petency, and of her mother's undue influence over
him.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Dr. Spinks, and Dr. Wam-
bey appeared for the plaintiff; Dr. Phillimore,
Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for Mrs. Maud.
The case was a very painful one. Up to 1853
Miss Maud had been her parents' favourite
daughter; but in that year she went to the Crystal
Palace without leave. On her return they confined
her to her room for about three months ; after
which time (although she was 25 years of age) they
e. n her to school, first at Clapham and afterwards
aShe remained at the latter place till
13')-1, and since then it was feared she had been
leading an immoral life, which was allegcp to be
the reason
all benefit under her father had excluded her from
his property. i
On the other it was contended that the de-
fendant left her
drink-
ing, and that she wusabsana' was addicted to drink-
the ,iperson of very overbear-
ing temper. For
out leave to the Palace,Crystale
offence of going with-
she had virtually
deprived her daughter of
her
i
home. A nie great deal
of evidence was given to
substantiate
show that
k these charges
against the defendant and to she was
likely to have compelled her husband to execute the
codicil. -
m
His lordship, in summing up, censured the con-
duct of both litigants. It was, unhappily, too clear
that the plaintiff had become an outcast from
society; but the defendant's behaviour had been
injudicious, harsh, and unmother,,y. At the same
time that vas not the issue the jury bad to try.

They had simply to determine whether or not the
testator had been subjected to any coercion in the
execution of the codicil.
The jury, without hesitation, found for the de-
fendant, and thus established the codicil.
The court, however, directed that the costs in-
curred by the plaintiff before she was admitted a
pauper should be paid out of the estate.
HYDE V. HYDE.
This was a petition for a judicial separation pro-
moted by Mrs. Esther Annie Hyde, against her
husband, Mr. Charles Henry Hyde, on the ground
didultery.
sr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Barry appeared
for the wife. The husband was undefended.
The parties were married at St. Marylebone
church on the 18th of July, 1845. They cohabited
for twelve years, and had two children, of whom
one still survived. In 1857 the respondent formed
an adulterous connexion with a woman named Jane
Higgs, with whom he was living as man and wife.
Tile jury having found the fact of adultery,
His lordship decreed the separation, with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—June 3.

GUILDHALL. Thos. Chas. Peprill was charged
with assaulting his master. Mr. Beard appeared
for the complainant.
Mr. Smith, a whip and walking-stick maker, of
Beech-street, Barbican, who appeared with his
eye bandaged up, said—The prisoner is my ap-
prentice.
Mr. Martin (the chief clerk) asked the prisoner
if he had been at the court early in the morning
applying for a summons against his master ?
Prisoner—Yes, sir ; I wanted a summons against
my master for assaulting me, and I was told to come
again later in the day.
Mr. Martin—And did this . complaint of your
master arise since you were here ?

Prisoner—Yes, sir.
Mr. Smith—The prisoner neglected his work in
the morning, and when he returned from this court
he complained that he had not had his breakfast.
I told him to leave the 'warehouse and go to his
work, and on his refusing I placed my hand on his
arm to push him out, when he seized me by the
throat and struck me with a brick in the eye. This
is the fourth time he has been guilty of similar
conduct.
Prisoner—He has kept me, sir, since Wednesday
without food, and all I have had has been about
twopennyworth of bread and cheese which he
offered me yesterday for dinner, but I refused it,
and he offered it to me again last night, and I
thought better of it and took it. He struck me last
night, and I came here this morning for a summons
for it. He has had nine apprentices, and they have
all tun away because he half-starves and ill-treats
them; and he declares he will make me serve my
time in a prison or compel me to enlist for a soldier.
Alderman Challis—ls it true that you deprive
your apprentices of their proper food ?
Mr. Smith—My foreman will be able to inform
you, sir, of every.thing connected with this matter.
Alderman Challis—Do you keep them without
food ?

Mr. Smith—lf the apprentices are not up early
enough in the morning, we make it a rule to keep
them without breakfast, or if they misconduct
themselves.
Alderman Challis—You must not take the law
into your own hands, but, if they misconduct them-
selves, bring them before a magistrate. You have
no right to deprive youths of their proper food.
Mr. Smith—lt is the only way we have of
punishing them ; bat I will consent to cancel the
indentures if you will bind him down not to work
in the same trade.
Alderman Challis—l cannot do anything of the
kind. tr

Prisoner—That is 'what he wants, sir. He
knows that I have been with him two years, and
that no journeyman can teach me any more. He
takes parish apprentices for the sake of the pre-
mium, and when he has got the money tries all he
can to get rid of them.
Mr. Beard, for the complainant, submitted that,
even supposing the prisoner's complaint had any
foundation, no matter what Mr. Smith's conduct
might have been, it would not justify such an
assault.
Alderman Challis—Certainly not ; and I there-
fore fine the prisoner 20s. for the assault, or 7 days'
imprisonment ; but at the same time I shall grant
the prisoner a summons against his master, when,
if Mr. Smith objects to cancel his indentures, I can
cancel them without his consent.

BOW-STREET.—William Sloper, a respectably
dressed young man, was charged with firing a
pistol at himself at the Holborn Casino, on Thurs-
day'night.
Charles Lowther stated that he was the gasfitter
at the establishment now known as the National
Assembly-rooms, in Holborn. He was there on
Thursday evening about half-past 11, when some
alarm was occasioned by the report of firearms. He
hastened to the quarter from whicfi the noise
proceeded, and there saw the prisoner lying on the
ground. A pistol, recently discharged, was lying
near him and there was a burn or singe on the
front of his shirt and flannel-shirt, as if caused by
the bullet or wadding. It was soon found, however,
that the prisoner was not wounded. He was given
into custody.
Inspector Searle, the officer on duty at the rooms,
said that the prisoner was evidently the worse for
drink. If a bullet had been ever placed in the pistol
it must have dropped out before the discharge took
place. The prisoner said nothing to the charge
except that he was depressed in spirits.
The prisoner now made a similar defence, adding
that he had been drinking too much, and hardly
knew what he was doing.
Mr. Jardine said it was very strange that he
should be going about with a loaded pistol in his
pocket, and some inquiry into his character must
be made.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded for a
week.
A gentleman waited upon Mr. Jardine during
the afternoon and left 3s. for the poor-box, stating
that he had picked up the money in an omnibus,
and had found no claimant for it.

MARYLEBONE.—A distressed-looking woman,
named Mary Jones, aged 40, and who had on
neither shoes nor stockings, was charged, at the
instance of Sir R. W. Carden, with begging.
Complainant, who resides at No. 64, Wimpole-
street, Cavendish-square, stated that on the same
morning, at half-past 10 o'clock, the prisoner was
in the middle of the street singing to excite com-
passion. He spoke to her and told her if she was
in distress she had better go into the workhouse,
to which she replied that she had a great dread of
it, and he then thought it his duty to give her into
custody, and have her brought to this court.
Mr. Long—l can't understand what for. Was
she doing anything more than singing ?
Sir It. W. Carden—l saw her pick up money, and
therefore gave her in charge for begging.
Mr, Long—Did you see or hear her beg of any-

one?
Sir R. W. Carden—l can't say that I did, but I
consider that there are ways of begging without
persons actually asking for money.
Mr. Long (to prisoner)—What do you say to
this?

Ptisoner—Pkase, sir, I was singing, and that's
all. A gentleman threw me two farthings, and .I
went to pick them up.
Mr. Long.—I shall let you go now, but if you go
about begging and are brought here again you will
be sent to the House of Correction.

George Cox,
said he had charge of the train, which left at a
quarter to nine on the previous mornincr. The
prisoner was a second-class passenger, and when
the train left the Frith station he saw him in the
carriage and the door was closed. When they had
got about 600 yards from Erith, and the train was
going between 30 and 40 miles an hour, witness
saw one of the carriage-doors open, and perceived
the prisoner sprawling on the side of the line close
to the metals, and it was a miracle he was not
smashed to pieces.
The guard of the next train said that when he
stopped at Erith, the station-master handed the
prisoner to him, telling him to take him to the
superintendent's office at London-bridge, as he had
jumped off the previous train while going at 30
miles an hour.
Mr. Robinson informed his worship that he
understood that the prisoner was on furlough, and
that he had been frolicking, as he had with Min a
bottle half full of whisky, and he was half drunk
when given into custody.
The prisoner said he had been in the army 19
years, and had recently returned from India. He
had a furlough for two months to visit his friends,
and when he got into the train he put his furlough
in his cap. As soon as he left-Erith the latter fell
off his head on the side of the rails, when he foolishly
opened the door and jumped out after it. He was
extremely sorry for having done so, and could
assure his worship that it had considerably shaken
him.
Mr. Burcham told him that as he was an old
soldier, and had served his country in India for
1
Isome years, he did not feel inclined to punish him
with any kind of severity ;
but he must punish him

as al:: example to him and others for the future. He

The prisoner paid the penalty, and thanked his
worciiiip for his leniency.

SIR ,irOSEPII HA WLEY'S TURF CAREER.

BY " ARGUS."

Few' of our readers who have been racing any
period c)f time can have failed to remark a short
gentlein an, with sharp intelligent features, a rather
stooping figure, and cigar in his mouth, talking
very earnestly to John Day, or some other trainer.
This is Sir Joseph Hawley ; and as there are few
men who have recently engaged more public atten-
tion, he is fully entitled to an early niche in our
gallery. Sir Joseph Hawley, when he began life,
entered the ,army, in which he remained for a few
years in one of our crack cavalry regiments, and on
retirement took up his residence in Florence. Here
his love for the turf was first displayed, as he imported
some horses from Englaud, and in conjunction
with his subsequent confederate, Mr. Stanley, ran
them at most of the meetings in Italy with varied
success, his most formidable opponent being the
famous Polish Prince Poniatowski. At Florence
he cultivated the fine arts, of which he was a liberal
patron, and, in addition to other mental accomplish-
ments' he improved his knowledge of painting, of
which there are few better judges among the mem-
bers of the aristocracy. He is also deep in black letter
lore. Sir Joseph Hawley's debut on the English turf
was in 1844, where we find him with Vibration,
Venus, and The Bishop of Romford's Cob, at "Field-
Marshal Beresford's," at Newmarket. With these
he did but little good, and had all the worst of it in
his matches. In the following year he improved
slightly, and his stud was enlarged ; but as yet
there was no " flier" in it. But in 1846 things
began to look more cheery with him, as with Miami
he beat Cossack for the July, which the Days
thought to be impossible, from their colt having
been tried with St. Lawrence at 3st, whom he beat
by two lengths. 7 to 4 was betted freely on Mr.
Pedley's colt ; and to the great mortification of the
Danebury division, he was bowled out by the mare,
who proved her goodness on the following Thursday
by being only beaten a head, with her 91b penalty
for the Chesterfield, by Nerissa. And it was singu-
larly conclusive of the merits of the first and second
for the July, that they should have turned out the
winners of the Derby and Oaks. Sir Joseph also
won the Drawing-room at Goodwood with Hum-
drum, and several races with The Cob, Bravissimo,
and Prospect. His progress, which up this time
had been but slow, now became more rapid, and in
1847 he perpetuated his name in the Calendar
as the winner of the Oaks (worth upwards of
£4,000) with Miami ; but he did not net a very
large sum in addition, as the market was so un-
wholesome for some time about her as to give him
but little ',encouragement to back her for a stake.
The week after this race he gave an instance of
his pluck and desiie:to have the best animals that
money could purchase, by buying Mendicant of
Mr. Gully for 3,500 guineas. The bargain, how-
ever, was as unfortunate for him at first, as Lord
Londesborough's was the other day in the same
race, for which she was wanted, viz., the Ascot
Cup, as it will be recollected she was beaten by The
Hero, in the same stable from which she was sold ;
and, although Sir Joseph might have sorely re-
gretted his purchase in the first instance, within
the last month he must have been led to consider it
the.best investment he ever made in his life. In
1848, when he paid taxes on 18 horses, he had a
bad year; but he was in immense force in the
following season, when he won the Northampton-
shire with Fernhill (purchased of " The Squire of
Wantage") and afterwards the Metropolitan with
him, when the race was run on the Saturday in-
stead of the Friday, on account of the snow. Peep-
o'-Day Boy for this event was an extraordinary
favourite, and from his trial at home all Danebury
were " up to their chins" on him ; but his small
feet held him in the deep ground, and he was vei y
cleverly beaten. Fernhill also was only defeated
a head from Snowstorm for the Great York-
shire Handicap at Doncaster ; and with Vatican
Sir Joseph ran third, for the Leger, to the Dutch-
man, and picked up the Newmarket Stakes and a
Triennial with him besides. In 1850 he was again
a thorn in John Day's side, as with Aphrodite he
ran a dead heat with the highly-tried Grecian for
the July, although the latter ultimately won
cleverly ; but on the Thursday he made up for the
loss by winning the Chesterfield with Teddington.
At this time the confederacy between Mr. Stan-
ley and Sir Joseph, which commenced in Italy, was
renewed ; and Alec Taylor succeeded to the manage-
ment of the stud, vice Beresford, who remained at
Newmarket. But, beyond Aphrodite and Vatican,
he had nothing very grand in his stable. In '5l,
which was the Exhibition year, Sir Joseph had " an
exhibition of his own," which was quite as profit-
able as that in Hyde-park, as The Ban pulled him
through for a second Metropolitan, and the Doncas-
ter Cup. Aphrodite carried off the Thousand Guineas
and Parkhill ; Teddington swept away the Derby;
Vatican the Ascot Stakes ; Confessor the Great
Yorkshire Handicap ; and Teddington won his
great Match with the Mountain Deer for 1,000
guineas at Newmarket. But, if thus successful
with Teddington and Aphrodite, he experienced
three tremendous disappointments in missing the
St. Leger with Aphrodite, and the Oaks and Cam-
bridgeshire with Breba. As to this mare's merits
the public and Sir Joseph were never agreed, and
a great deal of virulent feeling existed on the sub-
ject. On the morning of the former race he told
Job Marson he was as sure to ride the winner as he
had done Teddington. But Jub was incredulous,
and gave the preference, in his own estimation to
Merry Peal, who, as he predicted, beat her in the
race. Annoyed with the remarks that were made
relative to the running of Breba in the Cambridge-
shire, and with his sale of Vatican prior to the
Doncaster Cup coming before the Jockey Club,
when his own word of honour was not deemed
sufficient evidence of his conduct, Sir Josept retired,
sold the greater poi tion of his stud, and took to
breeding at Leybourue, his estate in Kent, where
he began with Cowl, Confessor, and a few brood
mares, Teddington returning to his real owner, Mr.
Stanley. Teddington, perhaps, was one of the best
Derby horses of modern years, and the very worst
animal the Ring had ever in their books, for every
gentleman on the Turf was " on " him, as every
" little man " was on Marlborough Buck. Sir
Joseph and his confederate, as may be imagined,
won an enormous stake, and in a short time after
the race was over Mr. Greville received from Davies
a cheque for £15,000 which e had lost to him.
This simple incident will gihve some idea of the
vastness of the Leviathan's resources, as well as the
nature of the betting at his lists, as up to the time
he gave the check he had not received one farthing
of his account from Tattersalls'. Of course those
who knew Sir Joseph thoroughly felt persuaded his
retirement was only temporary, and in less than a
twelvemonth they found their views were correct,
as he was numbered among the employers of John
Day at Danebury. Here he commenced with
Kalipyge, own sister to Aphrodite, with whom he
did little or nothing, and after persevering with his
small team for a couple of years without winning
any great stake, " he went into private again,"
selecting George Manning, formerly head lad to
Percy, at Pimperne, for his trainer, Wells as his
jockey, and fixing upon some ground at Cannon's
Heath, upon which Eclipse was tried, near Whit-
church, for his training_quarters.
At first things promised very little better here
than with John Day, and before Christmas he
would willingly have disposed of all his horses
for the sake of their engagements ; but re-
ceiving no offer for them, he was obliged to train
them, and won nearly all their races, including the
Two Thousand' and Derby with Fitzßoland and
Beadsman in 1858, which are of too recent date to
require recapitulation, clearing in bets also what
Ciptain Scott used to call a '• stoater," viz., sixty
thousand pounds ; and so well was his last thou-
sand laid out on Beadsman on the Thursday before
the Derby, that it brought him, through " Lord
Frederick's" agency, £18,870. As a sportsman, Sir
Joseph, like Lord George Bentinck, will never be
a popular one with the public, because, like that
nobleman, he never makes them his confederates,
or discloses his intentions to his trainers or jockeys
before the day arrives. And so exact :is the dis-
cipline of his stable that no one attached to it,
more than the greatest stranger, is aware of his
Plans. His trainer is simply to get his horse ready ;
his jockey is simply to be in readiness to ride. His
boys, like Lord Exeter, he weighs himself. By this
means curiosity is repelled, and his own judgment

friends of the horse." In the weighing-room after
lie had won and had scaled out, he told him to
" put the friends' thousand down to myself," and
he gave him a cheek for the whole a few days after-
wards, which J.ob invested in land irl Yorkshire,

preferring, like most of his countrymen, the " broad
acres" to consols. Such an employer, therefore, is
certain to be well served; and with Manning and
Wells he is as sure to succeed as he was when he
took up Alec Taylor and Job. But if Sir J. Hawley,
from tactics, is not generally popular, by his own
immediate circle of friends he is beloved, and the
best proof of confidence they have in him is the
manner they back his horses, which they do as they
would do their own, and the cherry jacket is invari-
ably the worst the bookmakers have in all the great
races. Like a good judge, Sir Joseph is not afraid
to try his horses, so as to know the worst at once;
and he will have the best available talent in the
saddle, as, from the time he began up till the last
race which he ran, he never employed a less dis-
tinguished jockey than F. Butler, Nat, Job Marson,
Charlton, or Wells ; and if Pearl had kept on riding
his name would have been included in the above
list. Having thus traced Sir Joseph Hawley
through his career, it will be seen there are few
races he has to win, whilst the Turf exhibits few
more successful since the time he has been connected
with it. So long as he pursues the same straight-
forward conduct he has hitherto observed, and from
which there is no fear he will deviate, he may turn
a deaf ear to the attacks of the canaille, and will
gradually acquire the confidence of the public as
much as Lord Chesterfield or Lord Zetland have
done throughout their course.—Sporting _Review.
