WATCH ROBBERY AT THE ROWING MATCH.

Alfred Chitty, waterman, was indicted for steal-
ing a silver watch from the person of Chas. Milts.
Mr. Matthew Williams prosecuted ; and Mr.
Ribton defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor stated that on the evening of the
12th inst. he was at the rowing-match for the cham
pionship of the Thames, and about nine o'clock he
was in front of the bar at the White Hart public-
house, at Barnes, where there were also a few other
persons, among whom was the prisoner. While
standing there he felt a tug at his watch, and on
looking down he saw it in the prisoner's hand.
Witness had only a few minutes previously put it
in his trousers pocket for safety. and 'it was fast-
ene3 by a guard to one of his trousers buttons,
which Ind been torn off. He immediately said,
"I'm Alf. Chitty, of Richmond, the rowing man."
Witness said he did not care who he was, he had
robbed him of his watch, and he should give him
into custody. Witness did so immediately.
In defence Mr. Ribton contended that it was a
mistake • his client wa's under the influence of
liquor, having been drinking with the prosecutor
all the afternoon.-

The jury, however, found him guilty, and the
Court sentenced him to two months' hard labour.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.

Charles Billars, 18, shopman, pleaded guilty to
stealing, at Lambeth, a writing desk and other
articles, and the sum of 701., the property of his
master, Henry Cook, in bis dwelling-house.
The Chairman said it was a very serious offence,
and he should sentence him to 12 months' bard
labour.

SPORTING INTELLIGEIVCE.

TATTERALL'S (MONDAY,)

The Derby horses were knocked about in a perplexing
manner„ and so sudden and rapid were the changes,
that it was with great difficulty that we are enabled
to compile a correct price current. ' The most important
incident was the advance of Tournament, who it was re-
ported bad been most satisfactorily tried. Early in the
afterncon 12 to 1 to about 7001. was taken about him ;
afterwards a slight reaction set in, and 13 to 1, 14 to 1,
and 15 to 1 were laid ; at the close, however, he was de-
cidedly firm at 11 to 1 taken freely ; 7 to 1 was cffered
against Skirmisher without effect, but a point higher odds
would have commanded backers ; 9 to 1 was repeatedly
taken about Arsenal, but it was also currently offered
throughout the afternoon ; 11 to 1. was laid against An-
ton to 501.; 10 to 1 might have been obtained without
difficulty. The odds against M.D. fluctuated between
15 to 1 and 100 to 8, the latter price being, perhaps, his
correct quotation. Sprig of Shillelagh was steady ' • he
was not, however, backed for a very large sum ; the last
bet about him was 1000 to 80 ; 1000 to 55 was taken
three times about Lady Hawthorn. Bird-in-the-Hand
was friendless; 20 to 1 was currently offered against
him, and, indeed, we believe layers might have been
found who would have accommodated backers at any
price between 100 to 5 and 100 to 3 ; 30 to 1 was laid
once agst Adamas, but subsequently 25 to 1 was taken.
Saunterer made a further retrogression, 20 to 1, 22 to 1,
and finally 25 to 1 were laid agaiust him ; 1000 to 15
was betted five times against Lambourn ; 1000 to 4 and
6000 to 30 were laid against Newton-le-Willows. The
other transactions do not require comment.
