Duke of Newcastle, stewards ; Mr Alexander, Mr Batson,
Count Batthyany, Mr Chaplin, Lord Courtenay, Colonel

Admiral Rous than proposed the following new rule, and
alteration of Rule 07, according to notice. A slight alte-
ration was proposed in the former, and they were unani-
mously passed as under :
New Rule.—The judge and the starter cannot employ
substitutes without the consent of the stewards or their
substitutes. A contested race cannot ba decided if the
judge have vacated his box, unless a steward, or an offi-
cial person duly authorised, occupy it. A stranger can-
not start the horses without the consent of the stewards
or their substitutes ; in the event of a violation of this rule
the heat is nullified, and the race must be run over again
without going to the scales.
Thirty-sovouth Rule—At line eight to strike out the

THE JAMAICA OUTBREAK.

BOW-STREET.-TIIIS DAY.

This afternoon an application was made to Mr.
Vaughan, the sitting magistrate of the day, by Sir
R. P. Collier, Q.C., M.P., instructed by Mepsrs.
Shaen and Roscoe, solicitors to the Jamaica Com-
mittee.

Mr. Rose, of Salisbury-street, attended to watch
the case for Governor Eyre.
Sir R. P. Collier said he was instructed by Mr.
John Stuart Mill and Mr. Peter A. Taylor to apply
for a summons against Mr. Eyre, the late Governor
of Jamaica. After referring to the recent ap-
plication before Sir Thomas Henry, Sir R.
P. Collier explained that the charges proposed
to be preferred against Mr. Eyre were—First,
that of issuing an illegal and oppressive proclama-
tion ; and secondly, for having continued to act
upon that proclamation beyond the time when,
according to his own showing, there was no neces-
sity for it. The learned counsel went at some
length into the statement of facts, and discussed
the arguments and questions of law already re-
viewed in former applications on this question.
At the close of the learned gentleman's argument,
Mr. Vaughan said he thought, under the circutn -
stances, he had better grant the summons, which
it was arranged should be heard before Sir Thomas
Henry, the chief magistrate, on Wednesday next.
