NEWTON RACES.-FRIDAY.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
IN RE RAMSAY'S SETTLEMENTS-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This was a
settlement made on the marriage of Sir Thomas and Lady
Ramsay, by which a charge of £5,000 was created on his
estate, for certain purposes for his use, and to the children
of the marriage, whom failing, with power of appointment in
favour of Lady Ih.msay's children by a former marriage
with Mr. Chisholm. This power of appointment had been
introduced by mistake, and Sir Thomas renounced it. The
money was invested in the purchase of Three per Cent.
Consols. In October, 1859, Lady Ramsay died without
issue of this marriage, and by this deed the funds became
devisable among the children of the first marriage, and
the question to be determined is the rate of duty
to be paid on the succession. If the right to
the fund in question was in, and derived from,
Sir Thomas the rate of duty payable to the Crown
would be 10 per cent., but if the right was in Lady Ramsay
the rate would be only 1 per cent. His Honour was of
opinion that, as the power of appointment had been in Sir
Thomas, the children of the first marriage took as strangers,
and therefore the rate of duty under the Legacy Duty Acts
was 10 per cent., and declared accordingly, without costs.
COATES V. TILE NOTTINGHAM WATERWORKS-JUDGMENT.

The Master of the Rolls said—The question to be decided
depends on the construction to be put on two Acts of Par-
liament, of the old and new water works. And the question
raised is, at what state of surplus profits will the share-
holders be entitled to receive dividends of ten and five per
cent. on their shares ? The Master of the Rolls on con-
sidering the terms of the old Act, 1824, and the new Act,
1854, was of opinion that the surplus profits of the company
must rise to such an extent as to entitle the shareholders un-
der the old Act to a dividend of 10 per cent. And also to
such an amount as will entitle the shareholders, under the
new act, to a dividend of 5 per cent. That the shareholders,
under the new act, are not entitled to a dividend until Ile
surplus profits enable the company to pay a dividend of 10
and 5 per cent. All the shareholders are treated under
these acts with perfect equality. His Honour declared ac-
cordingly, with costs, except costs to two of the share-
holders.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

POST -OFFICE ROBBERY.—Henry Locke, a letter-carrier
and sorter in the General Post •office, was placed at the bar
charged with stealing a letter, the property of her Majesty's
Postmaster-General.

Mr. Gardener said he was one of the senior clerks in
the General Post 'office, and the prisoner was a sorter at
the Western District Office, Vere-street, Cavendish-square,
In consequence of numerous complaints of the non-delivery
of letters in that district a test dotter was made up contain.
ing two half-sovereigns and some postage stamps. It was
addressed "Master Godwin, Glebe House Academy, Acton."
It was posted at the Vere-street office yesterday. Witness
went to the office shortly afterwards, and the prisoner
was brought before him and a constable was called in and
searched the prisoner. In his waistcoat was found two
half sovereigns, and in another pocket a bock containing five
shillings in silver and 25 postage stamps. The prisoner on
being asked to explain the possession of the money said it
was hip own and that he had had it about a fortnight. The
two half sovereigns on being examined were found to be
those inclosed in tke test letter, anC prisoner was
informed of the fact, and then asked to explain
how he became possessed of them. He said
they were his own, and also that he knew nothing about
them being enclosed in a letter addressed t) Mr. " Godwin,
Acton." Twelve of the postage stamps found on him were
also identified as being those enclosed in the stolen letter
with the two half sovereigns. He said he lad bought them,
but he did not say where.
Mr. Clare, inspector of letter-carriers at be General Post-
office, said the prisoner was a sorter in tie General Post,-
office. Witness received a letter from last witness to post
at the Western District Post. office. It was placed in the
letter-box there about one o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Howlett, an inspector of letter-curriers at the Vere-
street office, said yesterday he took a letter from the box
addressed to " Master Godwin, Acton," and placed it with
others before the prisoner to sort. Prisoner ought to have put
it in the Acton bag. After he had finished sorting, prisoner
arranged his own letters for delivery, which was Hyde-
Park-square-walk. He tied them in two bundles, and then
left them for a short time in the office. On his return for
his letters he was taken in to Mr. Gardener and charged
with the robbery.
Upholm, the constable attached to the Post-office, re-
ceived the prisoner in custody. On proceeding to his lodg-
ings a small box was found in which were £7 in gold and 87
postage stamps. Three small military orders were also
found.

Mr. Peacock said the orders no doubt had been stolen
from a letter. An application had been made at the chief
office for a letter containing similar property, which had
been dispatched from Aldershot addressed to Capt. Manby,
Cambridge-square. That would be within the prisoner's
circle of delivery.

Twinkle, and 7to 1 agst V. R. The latter, with Twinkle
and Sister to Horace in attendance, made the running to
the back side, where Weasel went to the front, and main-
tained his advantage to the distance. Medora, who ran
through her horses in going up the hill and ran on second,
then headed him, and won easily by a length. V. R. was
bought in for 64 guineas.

The South Lancashire Tradesmen's Plate of 100 sous, added

one mile two furlongs.

Betting-9 to 4 agst Sutton, 3to 1 agst Lady Ripon,
4 to 1 agst Lustre, 6 to 1 agst Duneany, and 8 to 1
agst Pastime. Sutton was very restive previous to starting,
and lashing out he struck Lady Ripon over the flank,
luckily without inflicting much injury. The moment the
flag fell Lady Ripon jumped off with a clear lead, which she
maintained to the distance, followed by Hellenus and
Lustre, Sutton, who ran very unkind all along the back
side, lying next, whilst Duueany and Pastime brought up
the rear. Lustre fairly headed Lady Ripon inside the
distance, and appeared to have the race in hand, when
Pastime, upon whom Bullock waited to the last, came up
next the rails, and challenging the leader, got her head in
front in the last few strides, and won a magnificent race by
a head ; and a head only separated Lustre and Lady Ripon.
Dun.eany, who was outpaced until entering the straight,
ran through his horses at the last, and finished a bad fourth
Teddington filly was fifth, and Sutton sixth.

Betting-5 to 4on Discretion, 3to 1 agst Antares, and 7
to 2 agst North Pole.

Antares, followed by North Pole and Discretion, made
play up the hill, when Discretion fell back a little, and the
other pair went on a length or two in advance of her.
Within the distance North Pole and Discretion made their
efforts, but the latter, falling back beaten in a few strides,
the issue was left to North Pole and Antares, who ran a
close race home, the fiat being in favour of North Pole by a
short head. Discretion finished third, three lengths off :
and the Fortuna filly was a worse fourth.
The Scurry Stakes (handicap) of 3 sovs each, with 30 added.
About a mile and a quarter.

Twinkle, filly by Teddington, and Kitty also ran.
Betting-5 to 4on Deserter, 9to 4 agst Maid of the Mist,
and 6to 1 agst any other (offered). Deserter made the
running to the distance, where Maid of the Mist headed
him, and appeared to be winning in a canter, when Cus.
tance came up, and catching Maid of the Mist on the post,
won by a short head. Deserter was a bad third.

Newton, on Wednesday, has left Mr. Naylor's private
