Betting-2 to 1 agat Winton, 4to 1 agst Wombat, and 6
to 1 each asst Roesia and Vinegar Hill.
Upwards of 20 minutes were consumed before the flag was
lowered to an indifferent start, Vinegar Hill bait g left at
the post. Shortly after starting Furious, in company with
Wombat, Diadem, Shingle, Roesia, made the running at a
strong pace, the others, with the exception of Vinegar Hill,
lying close up. In this order they ran to the brow of the
hill, when the leading horses were joined by the favourite,
who, halfway down, ran through his horses and on crossing
the new ground was seen at Wombat's quarters, with
Shingle and Furious in close attendance; Vinegar Hill,
who had improved his rearward position, going on next.
Halfway in the distance Furious was beaten, and Lord
Portsmouth's colt took his place, but on the latter attempt-
ing to go up Shingle hung upon him and shut him out. A
good race home from the stand enclosure ensued between
the four placed, which ended in favour of Winton by a head,
a short head separating the second and third, and a like
distance the third and fourth; Miss Emma finished a good
fifth, Roesia sixth, Furious seventh, the others were pulled
up, Nerio being the absolute last.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Starke, 3to 1 agst Elcho, 7to 1 each
agst Schism and Chnary, 9 to 1 agst Balham, and 20 to 1
agst The Brownie.
After one slight failure, the horses left the post in close
order. Umpire immediately rushed to the front, in com-
pany with Schism, the pair evidently engaged to serve their
stable companions with a pace ; Elcho going on third, Starke
fourth, Jingling Johnny fifth, and Surprise sixth; the
Brownie, Lupus, Balham, Shipwreck, and Canary follow-
ing in the order we have given them. No material alteration
occurred in this order of running until they rounded the
turn out of the straight, when Umpire somewhat increased
his lead, followed by Schism, the favourite, and Elcho, with
the others in close attendance, with the exception of Bal-
ham, who was some considerable distance in their rear. On
making the far side turn Elcho went np to Starke's quar-
ter, and ran so for some distance up the hill, when the pair
were passed by Jingling Johnny, who went on in pursuit
of Umpire; Schism at the same time dropped away beaten,
and Starke and Elcho took her place, closely followed by
Balham and Canary, nothing else having a chance. In this
way they proceeded to the turn for home, where Jingling
Johnny went up to Umpire, and in a few strides obtained
a clear lead, Starke going on third, Elcho fourth, Balham
fifth, and Canary next, but shortly after Umpire hung out
signals of defeat, which Starke immediately answered by
joining the leader; Johnny Daley at the same time brought
up Elcho, the three running together into the bottoin,
where the favourite got his head in front, and at the dis-
tance Jingling Johnny was beaten, leaving the issue with
the two. Starke, apparently full of running, came on in
front to the entrance of the enclosure, where he was headed
by Elcho, who won with great ease by half a length. Bal-
ham, who passed Jingling Johnny within a few strides of
home, finished a wretched third, Jingling Johnny was
fourth, placed by the judge. Schism, Shipwreck, Canary,
and Surprise were the next lot, but nether of them passed
the post, The Brownie being the last of all.

The moment the flag was lowered the Intimidation colt
went to the front, and made running at a great pace, fol-
lowed by Conqueror, Anthem, and Lisbon to the straight,
where 'Vinegar Hill and Starlight approached the leading
horses, but were unable to reach Lord Ailerbury's colt.

DOCKYARD DISCLOSURES.

On Monday Samuel Oldfield, foreman of works;
Samuel Lumb, mason ; George Merwood, Peter
Knight, and Bartholomew Maloney, labourers, all
in the employ of Mr. George Smith, contractor of
public works in Portsmouth dockyard, were
brought up before the magistrates at Portsmouth
on a charge of stealing 2 cwt. of Government lead.
Mr. Swainson, the Anmiralty solicitor at Ports-
mouth, conducted the prosecution; Mr. Field, soli-
citor, appeared for the prisoner Oldfield ; Mr.
Cousens, solicitor, appearing for the remainder of
the prisoners.
A quantity of lead has been issued from the Go-
vernment stores in the yard to the contractor, when
needed, for filling up any interstices in the stone-
work in building the docks, and for the purpose of
filling up such interstices in the caisson grove of
the new No. 11 dock a large quantity of lead has
been issued in the usual manner, the surplus of
which should have been returned to stole. This
lead the prisoners were charged with stealing.
James 'Westbrook, sergeant of the metropolitan
police, doing duty in the dockyard at Portsmouth,
deposed that in consequence of information received
relative to the loss of lead in the dockyard, he placed
himself in a position close to the entrance to No. 11
dock on the 23d inst., where he would be unob-
served, and see all that took place where the men
were at work, they being at dinner at that time.
When they returned from dinner, a fire was lit
under the melting pot, and a quantity of the
lead placed in it, melted, and formed into a
rough block with the aid of some bricks.
Maloney and Lumb were the two men engaged.
The prisoner Maloney took the piece of lead pro-
duced, which has not been melted, to a heap of dirt
about two or three yards from the melting pot, and
buried it beneath the earth. Maloney shortly af-
terwards returned with another barrowful of lead,
which he and Lumb put into the melting pot. The
lead was all melted by 6 p.m., when I left and
communicated with my superior officer. The pri-
soners left their work at about 8 p.m., and after
they had left witness, his sergeant, and the super-
intendent, Mr. Mott, went to the place where the
lead had been buried, and found it there. (Lead
produced.) Tne lead was marked and replaced.
It weighs 1 cwt. 18Tb. From information witness
afterwards received from Sergeant Taylor he found
two pieces of lead (produced) concealed beneath a
wheelbarrow, and marked them, leaving them in
the same position. At 12, noon, on Wednesday,
the 24th, witness continued on watch. About two

Witness said to Floyd in reply,

saw no lead." Witness then turned round and
under some barrels and other things saw a quantity
of lead. It was afterwards weighed and found to
weigh 1 ton 7 cwt. This was exclusive of the pieces
which witness had seen removed from the dock.
Prisoner Floyd said the larger quantity of lead had
been returned from their dredgers, and afterwards
melted down. Floyd was taken into custody.
Witness then went to the dock and called Lumb
up, and asked him it he put any lead in a cart the
day but one before, when Lumb replied that he had.
Witness then asked him if be had any more lead
there, to which he replied that he had, and
was walking towards a soot where witness knew
a piece was buried. Witness then took him
into custody. The prisoner Lumb said to wit-
ness that he had orders from Mr. Tyrrell, the
foreman of the store whence the lead was issued,
to run the lead down every night, and had done so
for 17 years. Witness told him (Lumb) that he
saw him bury some lead, to which he made no re-
ply. The witness was subjected to a long cross-
examination by Mr. Field and Mr. Cousens for the
prisoners, but his examination in chief was not
affected.
Sergeant John Taylor, of the metropolitanpolice,
employed in Portsmouth dockyard, deposed that he
relieved the last witness from his watch on the
evening of the 26th. Lead was being melted for
the work in the dockyard. The prisoner Maloney
