factory character of the statement" At that time
both Mr. HL rcinsoN and the bank were hopelessly
insolvent. In January 1867 the shareholders were
informed that the capital and the reserve fund were
intact, that a gross profit of £83,000 had been earned,
and that a dividend of 8 per cent. would be paid
them. Ten months later the bank stopped payment,
and the shareholders then learnt that the whole of
the capital and the reserve fund were lost, and that
between £400,000 and £500,000 would be required
to pay the debts of the bank. For a whole year
an inquiry has been going on into the transactions
which have brought about this disastrous result. The
investigation disclosed such disgraceful misconduct
that the official liquidators attempted to suppress the
report of the investigators. As it is, only a modified
and softened report has been published, but it is so
damaging that it is difficult to imagine how anything
can be worse. Mr. lluTcmsoN, it appears, who as
principal director ought to have been most active in
protecting the interests of the shareholders, ran in
debt to the bank to the amount of £103,477. No
doubt he did wisely in his day and generation. He
knows well enough that- " it is as well to be hung for
a sheep as for a lamb ;" nay, better, for all experience
shews that while the pickpocket gets sent to prison,
the bank director gets nothing but admiration
at the largeness of his plunder, and may, if he

4, THE FIELD."

MALTON. We shall have nothing ran next week at any
of the meetings, with the exception of Lincoln, whore we
have The Spy in the Lincoln Handicap. No hors© can be
doing better than he is at present, and if wanted for I his
race he will take an immense deal of boating. Liverpool
Cup—We have Taraban, Viscount, The Spy, Lady Zet-
land, and Blacklock. At the weights, The Spy and Black-
lock have the bust chance. The folowing horses are in
strong, active work, and looking in the bloom of health:
—Lady Zetland, George Osbaldistone, colt by Crarnond
Louisa, Malta, Queen of York, Lapidist's dam filly, Con-
sternation, colt by The Cure, Blacklock, Dutch. Admiral,
Fichu, Di Spanker, Viscount, and The Spy. Agrippa,
after his long rest has again made his appearance.
HEDNESFORD.--MealiWOOd is in the Steeplechase at
Lincoln, and Ottoman is in the Handicap. Meanwood
goes much in her old style, and is remarkably fresh for an
old one. Ottoman has been performing at Newmarket, so
your subscribers have a chance of judging for themselves
about him. Uncas is in at Worcester, but I don't fancy
he goes quite so well as he did in the spring. He has of
late been doing good mile work. Melody, Ettrick, Kernel,
Barnabo, Peg Woffington, and Turnover have been doing
half-mile canters and mile gallops. Fan is now doing
three miles every morning as well as ever I saw her,
Susan does mile work, and Pantaloon is piloting Hunter,
to whom he is a good schoolmaster. Alicia is taking
thangs easy. Saunders has been giving Round Text
strong work for the Liverpool Runt Club Meeting. This
horse looks more like following hounds. President Lin-
coln and Cawnpore go some good mile gallops ; and the
same may be said of Stanton, Mignonette, Beaudesert,
Rescue, Life Guardsman, and Nogara. Hopwood has been
doing good mile work with Knight of the Elms and Side
Drum. East Lancashire and Success patronise the Far
Hills and go the Coppy gallop at about three-parts speed,
both looking fresh and well. Eskrett's lot are going the
round canter, with the exception of Edinburgh and Arigill,
who have paid a visit to Ellesmere. Heather Bell, Jenny
Mills, Masquer, and Nonsense have been doing mile
work.

WORCESTER. —Worcester Handicap---Christmas
Carol or Vortigern. Nursery Plate—Palmitiue,
Gipsy, or Lady Evelyn filly. Handicap Plate—
Barnabo or Lute. Handicap Hurdle Race—Jezabel
and Harrington. Autumn Flying Stakes—Snow-
drop and Catton. Grand Stand Plate—Lute, Prince
Regent, or Vortigern. Severn Bank Stakes—Sir
William or Brighton. Grand Annual Steeplechase
—Huntsman's Daughter or Globule.

MIDDLEKAM.—On Tuesday, Fobert sent Etoile lento,
Lady Henriette, and Lady in Waiting the two-mile gallop
at a nice half speed. Masterman's Honesty and Honostish
did steady work of a mile and a quarter, as did also
Osborne's Little Duke, Conrade, and Weather Star. Win-
ter sent Palisade, Three per Cont., and Aj ix a good two-
mile gallop. The Viscountess colt, Farceur, Affection,
Flying Jib, Artichoke, Light Cloud, and Woodbine gal-
loped a mile. Dawson's lot did nice work of a mile and a
quarter. Wednesday—Dawson sent the Czar, Tynedale,
The Dean, Donaldbain, King of the Fairies, Tabouret,
Mandrake, Argyle, Good Hope, Calistoga, and Minster
Bell the mile and a quarter gallop. Then Mandrake, Tyne-
dale, and Calistoga finished up with a two-mile gallop.
Winter's, Osborne's, and Masterman's all did nice mile
work, as did also H. Hall's Moll and Dick. Fobert sent
Etoile Filante, Lady Henriette, and Lady in Waiting two
miles at a nice pace. Thursday—Winter sent his lot the
mile and a quarter gallop thrice. Dawson did the same
with Mandrake, The Dean, Tynedale, King of the Fairies,
Donaldbain, Tabouret, Minster Bell, Calistoga, Marking
ink, Hymen, Argyle, and the Czar. Pretender, T horwald-
sen, and several others are walking about. The first-
named has done well with his rest since Newmarket, and
should l►e go on as he is doing now, he will make a splen-
did horse next year. Thorwaldsen is also very fresh and

much improved.
STANTON. - For Worcester wo have Fidelia, Christmas
Carol, Jeannie Deans, Conundrum, and The Returned no-
minated for the Worcester Handicap, my preference being
for Fidelia and " the Carol." Nursery Plate.—Lord of the
Valley, Palmitine, Lady Evelyn filly, and Abyssinia are
in, and I should recommend the numbers to be up before
touching either, as it is quite uncertain which is meant.
Plate of 30 sous.—Ada is in, as well as in the Grand Stand
Plate with Christmas Carol, and whichever they send her
for she will about win. Autumn Flying Stakes.—Salliet,
Catton, Jeannie Deans, The Returned, Abyssinia, and
Parma are entered. I should fancy Parma if she goes.
Jezabel is in the Hurdle Race, and should they want her
will about win. All the above are in good work, and will
be dangerous as soon as the numbers are up. On Tuesday
morning an unfortunate accident happened to a lad named
Amies, who has figured in public several times.

EPSOM.—We shall be busy at Harrow on Tuesday and
Wednesday next. We have no less than ten engaged in
the Handicap Plate—Landlord, Marquis of Worcester, War-
like, Bonnie Katie, Lord Derby, Rampart, Nanny, War
Queen, Otho, and Bianca, and every one of them is fit and
well but I prefer the chance of Lord Derby. In the Nursery,
of Bonnie Katie, Nanny T hormanby, S lowman, Lad of Scot-
land, Juanita, Mercury, Envelope, and Bianca, I shall
plump for the top weight. Queen Ebba, Brown Jug, Li-
cymnia, and Lord Derby are in the Stanmore Stakes, Bal-
der and Patience in the North-Western Stakes, and the
Wild Huntsman mare in the Maiden Steeplechase. In the
Middlesex Grand Open Steeplechase, llelice, Bannock-
burn, and Patience are engaged, and if the stake is good
enough for Bannockburn he will win. Balder is the only
one we have in the Steeplechase Plate. At Worcester
Grand Duke is in the Autumn Handicap, and will win if he
runs, and as Nightingall has The Lad of Scotland in the
Nursery, I think they will both go to Worcester. Mr.
Hughes will laud the Flying Stakes with Macduff or Ile-
renniauus. Balder and the Spy aro in the Severn Bank
Stakes, and Relics, L.S.D., and Golden Cross in the Grand
Annual, but your readers must let Mr. Studd'a horses
alone at present.
LEWES.—For Harrow we have engaged in the Nursery
Handicap Lady Lavender and Redbreast, and they have
both been doing some good work, but of the two I prefer
the last named. Lady Lavender has gone to Newmarket.
Nothing at home is worth reporting, with the exception of
a few yearlings cantering about, of which it is needless
writing.

LINCOLN.—Autumn Handicap—Three per Cent.
or The Spy. Blankney Stakes—Crucifixion filly
or Bobespierre. Burton Stakes—Edinburgh and
Historip. Johnstone Plate—Bel Giorno, Conster-
nation, or Pearlfeather. Nursery Handicap—Con-
sternation, Bonnie Katie, and April Morn. Hainton
Handicap—Epworth, Ventnor, or Sir T. Johnstone's
selected.
