POLICED' TELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

WESTM S FER.

IMPUDENT FRAUD.—William Sheffield, a youth
of ,17 years, was charged with the following impu-
dent fraud :

Rebecca Jobson, cook to Mr. Drake, 6, Eccleston-
square, said that on the 15th, between 12 and 1 in
the day, prisoner brought an account back of the
Dairy Reform Company, with whom her master
dealt, and said that the company had deter-
mined to collect their accounts for milk weekly
or refuse to supply any longer. The fa-
mily had been in the habit of having it monthly,
and there was 15a. sd. down iu the book. Witness
gave him a sovereign to get change to pay this
account as required, and he absconded with it.
Prisoner—l am not the man. 1 was somewhere
else.

Mr. Arnold (to wittess)—Are you sure this is
the lad ?

Witness—Certain. I picked him out of five
others at the station.

Prisoner—Yon are wrong.

William Kelley proved seeing prisoner on the
morning of the 15th in Dorset-mews, Paddington,
near the box in the van of the Egham Dairy Com-
pany, where Mr. Drake's book had just before been
seen safe.

George King, 76 D—l apprehended prisoner on
Saturday, and told him I charged him with stealing
the book from the van and obtaining the sovereign.
He asked me how I was to prove it. I said by
Kelley, who had seen him at the van. He then re-
plied, " It would take Kelly all his time to bring it
home to me" (prove it).
Prisoner was remanded.

SPORTING NOTES.

Goodwood commences to-morrow, and is sure to be well
attended. Only the principal handicap of the events to he
brought to issue• has been affected by what has taken place
since our last, and Nottingham, as did Stamford seven
days before, has brought forth a prominent favourite. The
triumph of Fidelht, however, was more easily achieved
than was that of Kidderminster at the Stamford Meeting,
and as the value of the prize was a " monkey," the filly
will be hampered with 71b extra, while Mr. Lincoln's horse
has but a 31b penalty. The latter did not show for his
engagement at Huntingdon, which produced the best sport
and largest company of the week, and which seems estab-
lished on a firm basis of popularity. The fields were more
than respectable, and except for the Stewards' Cup, Good-
wood Stakes, Nursery Stakes, and Chesterfield Cup, they are
not likely to be exceeded on the ducal ground on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next, the days ap-
pointed for bringing the annual gathering off. The two
and three year old races have as many entries as ever, but
some of the most valuable among the youngsters will not
be able to appear on account of the dry weather, which has
kept them from undergoing the necessary amount of
preparation. The leading affair for the opening day is
the Stewards' Cup, T.Y.C. (three-quarters of a mile),
and the Handicapper has had to deal with eighty
candidates, of whom Xi, 5 yrs, 9st 41b; St. Ronan, 3
yrs, 7st 131 b; Leonie, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b Nemea, 4 yrs, 7st
121 b ; Corporal, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Wolsey, 5 yrs, ist 71b ; Iron-
master, 3 yrs, ist 51b ; Huntdman, 4 yrs, 7st llb ; Skipper,
I yrs, Est 131 b; Clairon, 3 yrs, Est 131 b; Reindeer, aged,
6st 101 b ; Slanderer, 3 yrs, Est 71b ; Warrington, 3 yrs,
Est 21b ; President Lincoln, 3 yrs, sst 131 b; and Our Mary
Ann, 3 yrs, sst 81b, appear to have been rather leniently
treated. The Skipper ran well last year with 7st 51b, and
Wolsey, who finished second to the turned-loose Tib-
thorpe, has but 111 b more to bear than he had then. Iron-
master has 121 b more than he won Earl Spencer's Plate
with on the Ist of last April, and Slanderer and War-
rington are let in on easy terms, considering the great
things that have been said respecting them. The
pair last named are not unlikely to supply the winner,
although we prefer The Skipper to either, the latter,
according to rumour, have been "saved" for this
race. The _Levant Stakes will be won by Badsworth,
the Ham Stakes by Balladrum, the Annesley Stakes by
Taraban, in the absence of Blinkhoolie, who will be re-
served for the Cup, and the Gratwieke Stakes, also for
three year olds, one mile and a half, will fall to Herald or
Plicebus. On the second day the Stakes will be the principal
item of attraction, still there are other important races in
the list, and two of them may throw some light upon

the coming St. Leger. The Earl is engaged in the
Goodwood Derby, for three year olds, ono mile and a half,
and, if he runs, he is bound to wiu, Naivete and Banditto
being the most likely pair in his absonca. The Danebury
crack is also in the Drawing-room Stakes, ono mile and a
quarter, and among the others entered ate Moslem, Vale
Royal, Formosa, Tympanum, Socrates (late Philosopher),
ThunderstOrm, Nelusko, and Samson. Both him and
Formosa may be absentees, and, if they aro, the prize will
fall to Mr, Crawfurd through Moslem, who has 51b extra
to carry. The Goodwood Stakes, two miles and a half,
has not been a bad betting race, and so far the scratchings
have been few. Some that have held prominent positions
in the quotations have been knocked out, but there will
be further changes in the market before the flag falls, and
two or three at present in the backgrouu I may start at
short odds. There will be at least a dozes or more com-
petitors, the following being the prob this field :
