WESTHALL AND SPOONER'S SEVEN-MILE MATCH FOR
501. ASIDE —The seven-mile walking match, in which
% Charles Westhall, " the Champion," and Wm. Spooner,
to whom the former gave one minute and a half start,
was brought to an issue on Tuesday, at Walton-on-
Thames, about a quarter of a mile from the Walton
station on the South-Western Railway. The men
walked on a measured half-mile, thus turning 13 times to
complete the 7 miles. At starting the betting was 6to
4 on Westhall, which decreased to 5 to 4 and evens,
when nearly at the end of three miles he had scarcely
gained a score of yards; soon after, at 3i to 4, however,
134 he began rapidly to lessen thedistance between himself and
Spooner. At 4 miles, he had gained 90 yards on the
distance covered in the time given. At 4i miles he had
made another 30 or 40 yards; at .5i Spooner seemed
tagged a little, and Westhall spurted away till at nearly
14. 6i he got close to him, and going up, after turning for
the last time, got by his man, and the game was up,
Westhall winning in 58 min. 15 sec. by 30 yards.

had a good opportunity to exhibit that high ideal of pastoral
dress and, scene entertained there, and have taken full ad-
-4 vantage of it. The taste shown 'in the costumes would
i% justify any commendation, and in the two principal scenes,
" Urganda's Palace in the Garden," and the closing " Bower
of Roses," with a most ethereal distance, Mr. Beverley well

Two witnesses had been examined, when it was discovered
that a juryman, who had kept up a series of sotto yore com-
mentaries upon the evidence, and which was received by his
colleagues as satisfactory proofs of his legal acumen, was
most indubitably drunk. The fact was notified to the Learned
Recorder, who said another julyman must be sworn, a• d de-
sired the indiscreet bacchanalian to leave the box. With an
air of forensic gravity that was uncommonly ludicrous, he
replied, " My Lord, I am a sworn juryman, and by the Sth
George the Second you can't get rid of me - you can't turn
me out." The Court was nearly convulsed with laughter,
but submitted the point to the bar, who decided that it was
allowed by law to withdraw a juror in cases of felony, so it
was also permissible in cases of misdemeanour. The Re-
corder repeated his request that Mr. M. would giro place to
a sober juryman. " What for ?" defiantly exclaimed Mr. M.
The Recorder explained. Mr. M. persisted in remaining, and
the exertions of a police-constable were called into requisition
to remove him. The Recorder intimated that he would be
fined 5/. for his misconduct; but we understand that he in-
tends trying the effect of a humble apology, with a view of
procuring a mitigation or a remission of the penalty.—Bristol
Mercury.
