MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.

ROBBERY AND MURDEROUS AS SA ULT.—WilliaM Willis,
a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the
following robbery and violent assault :

William Lewis, a respectable-looking young man, and
who said he was a mariner, said that on the previous night
he accompanied a young woman to a house in Hunt's-court,
St. Martin's-lane, and soon after he went to bed and fell off
in a dose. Hearing the rattling of money in the room, he
jumped out of bed and saw the prisoner at his pockets, and
immediately seized him. Upon this the prisoner seized a
large water %jug from the wash-hand stand, and aimed a
blow at bis head; but, on holding up his arm,
he received the blow upon it, the jug being smashed and his
arm cut and covered with blood. The prisoner then ran
down stairs, and he pursued him and called for the police.
On searching his pockets ho found all his money was gone.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said that the
young woman had left when he was awoke by the pri-
soner's being in the room.

A constable, named Salisbury, proved searching the
house and finding the prisoner secreted in a cellar, holding
the door so as to prevent his coming in. Ho found 12s. 6cl.
on the prisoner, but no half sovereign.
Prisoner's defence was that he went home and found the
sailor in his bed asleep and said " Hallos, old fellow, what
do you do here," and that then prosecutor jumped out of
bed and attacked him, and that he (prisoner) struck in self
defence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it looked as if the young woman went
down and sent him up, and then there was the hiding in
the cellar.

Prisoner said he knew the young woman.
Remanded.

KELSO MEETING. THURSDAY.

Match.

The timidity exhibited by the backers since their signal
discomfiture at Newmarket last week has grown more
patent, as the last meeting at heed-quarters approaches.
The muster at the Corner this afternoon was extremely
scant, and the business transacted, under such circum-
stances, was of the most limited character and was entirely
confined to three or four animals. Ilenham Lass appeared
extremely firm at her quoted price, at which she was sup-
ported for £4OO or £5OO. Asteroid also was inquired after,
and just prior to the closing of the room 9 to 1 was taken to
some money; with offers to go on, Limeflower, not Pre-
cise, as was anticipated, was the " sensation" of the after-
noon. Tho commission commenced at Manchester, was
vigorously executed in the City in the morning, and she
bloomed at the' opening of the room as good a favourite as
anything but the favourite ; but later in the afternoon a
reaction set in, and she left off with a host of layers at 11
to 1. 100 to %each was taken to good money about Con-
fectioner and The Roe, the former having a strong party,
who evidently expect to land the sweets on this occalon.
Tho other animals enumerated in our subjoined list were
occasionally touched upon, but the business transacted upon
either must be looked upon as nom4nal. The following is
a list of the closing prices

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--THURSDAY.

The favourite for the Cambridgeshire is very quiet here.
6to 1 was offered on the field. Asteroid, Limeflower, and
Confectioner were very firm, and Camerino has almost re-
sumed his former position, and the last we heard of him
was an offer to take 100 to 5. The Liverpool Cup was in-
troduced, for which Sir William, Calpe, and Confidante
were in most request, but there were not so many horses
backed as we have seen on the introduction of so large an
event. Closing prices :

33 to 1 agst Donner and Blitz (offered, 40 to 1 taken)
33 to 1 agst Baron Munchausen (offered)
40 to 1 agst Rocket (taken)
40 to 1 agst Sporting Life (offered)
