rAW AND POLICE.

THE Coen TESS D'ALTEYRAC AND Mits.
Chaneerur Fir R. Mnline's Court, with reference to this
case, Mr. Glasse, Q.C., moved to restrain Mrs. Long from
dealing with certain articles of jewellery, the property of
the plaintiff (whose name is known in connection with that
of Lord Willoughby D'Eresby), and asked that they
might be brought into court. It was stated that the
jewels (diamonds and family jewels) had been deposited as
a security for advances of money, which the plaintiff was
willing t?. repay_ witteintercee, but the defendant was.
travelling about with the jewels and would render no
account. Leave had been given under these circumstances,
for substituted service, and notice given to a person living
in the neighbourhood of the Strand who was in communi-
cation with the defendant. His Honour, considering
that there ought to be such a jurisdiction, granted the
order asked.
THE MANSLAUGHTER OF. LIEUTENANT BULLOCK.—At
the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Baron Channel',
James Brooks, a labourer, was indicted for feloniously
killing and slaying Lieutenant Bullock, R.N., at Fulham.
William Hunt, a lad, said that on March 23 last he was
in a public-house at North End, known as " Chici-
perton'e." The prisoner entered the house in a state
of inebriation, and was soon followed by Lieute.
naut Bullock, who also had partaken of too much
liquor. The accused told the officer to g...) about his busi-
ness. Bullock male no reply. The prisoner then struck
him a violent blow on the forehead, and the unfortunate
gentleman fell on his back, but was picked up again by
the prisoner, and left standing against a door. He then
reeled and fell down some steps into a yard paved with
bricks. The prisoner threw some beer in his face, and again
took hold of him and dragged him into the road, where
the prisoner's horse and cart were standing. He then
drew the horse's head towards the prostrate man, and
declared he would run the cart over him, but was pre-
vented by some persons who . interfered. Mr. Bullock
appeared quite insensible, and did not speak, and soon
afterwards he was taken to the West London Hospital,
where he died.—The jury found the prisoner guilty, but
sentence was deferred.
INDUCING SOLDIERS TO TAKE THE FENIAN OATH.—'
At the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Justice Willes,
Peter Morgan, otherwise Mohan, 33, described as a car-
penter, was indicted for feloniously, maliciously, and
advisedly endeavouring to seduce John Maloney and
others, serving in her Majesty's land forces, from their
duty and allegiance, he then well knowing the same John
Maloney and others were then so serving. The prisoner
was also indicted for treason-felony. The first witness
called was John Maloney, a private in the 13th Hussars,
who said,that in Oeteber 184 he was in the Spread Eagle
public-house, Woolwich, where he met the prisoner. A con-
versation ensued, and ultimately he was asked to take the
Fenian oath. Other soldiers were examined, who swore
the prisoner La i endeavoured to se luce them from their
allegiance to the Q Teen. After hearing the whole of the
evidence, the j y convicted Mohan, who was sentenced to
ten years' pena servitude.

THE MAR(U:S OF TOWNSHEND ONCE MORE.—At the
Clerkenw.-il P, I'c.-court the Marquis of Towshend, accom-
panied by Mr. Thomas Speechly, solicitor to a physician
in the Euston-road, said he attended to make an explana-
tion, and to say that he regretted having made a public
statement to the detriment of the gentleman in question.
He regretted that un the ex parte statement of the dis-
charged servant girl he should have stated that the physi-
cian had inflicted corporal punishment on his son, or that
he had treated the son in a cruel manner. He was sorry
that he had made any statement that was prejudicial
to the gentleman referred to. Mr. Speechly said that his
client was satisfied with the apology and public explana-
tion given by the Marquis Townshend.
ATTE3IPTED MURDER OF A BOY.--At the Central
Criminal Court, Timothy Keefe, a diminutive•looking
boy of 16, was indicted for feloniously shooting at
Edward White, with intent to do him some grievous
bodily harm. A second count charged him with mali-
ciously wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.
The prosecutor, a boy of 13, lived with his parents in
Harebrained-court, Whitechapel, and he and the prisoner,
who lived in the same court, were playmates. About
eleven o'clock in the f.)renoon of the 13th February, the
prisoner was standing at his own door and asked the prose-
cutor to go upstairs with him, which he did. The prisoner
then went to a box belonging to his brother, and took out
a pistol. He went to the bed with it and remained for
some time with his back to the prosecutor, and then came
towards him with one hand behind his back and suddenly
shot him in the breast. Immediately after the shot was
fired the prisoner ran up to him, seemed very sorry, and
endeavoured to stop the bleeding. The prosecutor was
afterwards taken to the London Hospital, and the ball,
which it was feared had punctured the lungs, had notyet:
been extracted. - The- 'prisoner, when before the magis-
trate, said that he and the other boy were examining the
pistol, and that it went off by accident. The jury found
the prisoner not guilty.

Sir Benjamin Pine, who has been lately admis-
tering the government of the Leeward Islands, has been
a,l)pointed Governor of Western Australia.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER NEETIN G-WEDN'ESDAY.
THE CUP DAY.

Before proceeding to the features which characterised
the Cup Day, it may not be uninteresting to give a résumé
of the doings at the Rooms on Tuesday evening. There
was an early assemblage, and betting was carried on with
considerable spirit to the close. The feature of the even-
ing was decidedly the advancement of Dalby, who was
supported for about .ClOO at 12 to 1, and subsequently
1000 to 100 was laid, with the proviso of a start for the
money. Then 10 fifties were laid twice, followed up by 10
‘• ponies," and the last offer was 100 to 15, which was taken
once or twice. The favourite, Paul Jones, maintained his
position at the head of the poll with considerable firmness,
but his style of galloping over the course iu the morning
did not seem to have pleased the " talent," as 9 to 4 was
obtainable without difficulty, and after these odds had
been taken several times 1000 to 400 was laid, that
being the last bet booked in favour of " the Buc-
caneer." Beauty was comparat:vely firm, and at one
period of the evening touched 9 to 1, but a point
more was offered against Mr. Wood's mare at the finish.
The owner of Stradbroke supported his horse to win a
good stake, offering early in the evening to take 10,000 to
1,000, but that was not forthcoming in one bet, although
be was offered ten pcnics iu one hand. Between Beauty
and Stradbroke there was some rather sensational mixed
betting, an even thousand being laid in one hand that the
Newmarket Nursery victress defeated Stradbroke, one of
the pair, however, to win, or the bet to be off. The wager
was supplemented by another of a "monkey" even that
Beauty beat Stradbroko the best of one, two, or three
Abergeldie and Bracken were comparatively firm at their
respective prices. 20 to 1 was accepted several times about
Treasure Trove, whose owner expressed his willingness to
take 20,000 to 1,000 in ono bet, but none of his brother
professionals seemed inclined to lay to so much money,
and the Lorse was not backed for a great deal. The other
features were in connexion with Thalia, Seville, and Tom
Dawson's lot. Lord Westmorland's mare received the
support of her noble owner, who was at first offered 30
ponies, but on his asking 1,000 to 30, he was immediately
aciion:Turodated, one book Maker laying:his lordship 5,000
to 150. A young nobl man, said to be the bona fide owner
of Seville, backed the latter for a similar amount, but there
was a great disposition to lay against the mare, and plenty
of 1,000 to 30's were procurable to the close of the rooms.
With respect to the Middleham lot, there was an evident dis-
position to back Minster Bell, whose closing price was
20 to 1; but she was backed, in conjunction with
her stable companion The Priest, at 1,000 to 70. Some
badinage about Caithness's chance resulted in some " tall',
betting in respect of the despised Beckhampton represen-
tative, against whom Mr. Stephenson betted 5,000 to 150,
stipulating that Cannon should ride the son of St Albans.
Grey Stocking was in fair demand, and, after 100 to 5 had
been booked in her favour, 20 to 1 was laid several
times to a lot of money. The extreme odds of 100 to 1
were offered against the somowhile favourite Viridis, but
found no takers. Had those odds been forthcoming against
Knight of the Garter he would have been backed, but only
for a limited amount. The Derby betting was limited to
a couple of transactions. Lady Elizabeth was invested
upon, 1,050 to 300 being laid, after `/10 to 60 had been
taken. Paul Jo; es was backed once, 200 to 10 being booked
about the Chester Cup favourite.
Early this morning there were indications of a great
day, and that the Chester Cup has lost but little of its for-
mer prestige as a race possessing special attractions for
the people was apparent from the immense crowds who
ass tubbed in the ancient city at a very early hour. Spe-
cial trains were run on both the Great Western and the
London and North-Western Railways from the metro-
polis, and these " Cup Day Excursions," as they were
called, brought down immense crowds ; and well they
might, considering that only 12s. 6d. was charged for the
double journey. If the London treius brought their hun-
dreds, however, thousands came by those which were run
at cheap rates from the West Riding of Yorkshire, Lan-
ced:tire, the Potteries, and the Black Country. The scene
at the station was something immense, and that the people
of Chester deemed the crowds alone no wean sight was
evident from the manner in which they packed the walls
at points where views of the moving panorama were to be
obtained. From an early..hour iu the morning until the
masses had taken up their pesition on the Roodee the
streets were quite impassaLle, and the ancient " rows "
were blneked. The morning gallops of the Cup comp-ti-
tors were witnessed by large crowds, and the morning
being extremely fine and mild the scene on the amphithe-
atre was very animated. Nearly the whole of the horses
engaged to-day were out, and among them was the unpre-
cedented favourit ~ Paul Jones, whose style of going
scarcely gave more satisfaction than on the previous even-
' ing. At the rooms there was but little doing. Minster
Bell advanced to 22 to 1, which odds were booked by a
well-known backer of horses to £5O. The favourite and
Dalby were firm, and Thali t received some support at 25
to 1; a bet of 250 to 10 being booked in favour of Lord
Weettnorland's mare. The attendance on the course was
the largest ever known, every available poiut on the wall
being occupied, whilst the vicinage of the rails on either
side was packed from the Workhouse turn (which is that

that it is unnecessary to go at length into it here ; suffice
it to say that Paul Jones carried out to the full all that his
owner and friends had asserted in his favour. The re-
mainder of the day's sport does not call for remark. De

The numbers of the seventem competitors were tele-
graphed at three o'clock -precisely,. 20 minutes before the
time appointed for the race, but a few seconds before the
numbers were hoisted several of the horses had made their
appearance on the course. It is somewhat siugular that
Paul Joues, who was one of the last to weigh out, should
be the first to appear on the course. Balchin was at his
head, and led him about for a minute or two. Abergeldie,
Grey Stocking, Strath;:onan, Dalby, Goodwood, and
Beauty were the next to appear, and all the others, except-
ing the Middlehain pair, Priest and Minster Bell, were
soon out. The latter pair did not show till after the
others had taken their preliminary canters, and then
they went to the post to join their horses. The Clown,
who was rather fractious, showed the way in the canters,
Dalimy, Grey Stocking, Caithness, Seville, Beauty, Goo,l-
- Struthconau, War, Bracken, Stradbroke, Aber-
geldie, Paul Jones, Treasure Trove, and Thalia ft,l-
- Mr. Barber's representative in the order named.
They reached the post at least eight minutes before
the time appointed for the start, and owing to the
restiveness of The Clown, Beauty, and Minster Bell
'here was a break away, in which Clown ran to the dis-
tance post, from u hick Palmer led him to the start-
ing po,t, which was between time Grosvenor Bridge and
the turn icto the straight. As soon as the old horse had
joined the other competitors, who were in. excellen, order,
Mr. M'George lowered his flag, and the lot were despatched
un their eventful journey to au excellent start. Miuster
Bell was the quickest on her legs, but Hudson pulled her
back as soon as a stride or so had been taken, and The
Clown, served by his light weight, rushed to the front,

Laving a.position nest the rails, and holding a clear leadl.
of Goodwood, Grey Stocking, Beauty, Paul Jones, an d
Thalia, this lot comprising the leading division till reach-
ing the Stand, ou passing which The Clown still held, a
lead of fully three lengths of Goodwood and Thalia, in
close attendance on the latter pair being Grey Stocking.,
Minster and Treasure Trove, the well-packed ruck
being headed by Beauty and Paul Jones, the rearward lot
consisting of Seville, Dalby, Caithness, and Abergeldie ;
the last of all, and apparently out-paced even thus early
in the struggle, was Stradbroke, whom Cradock had to
ride immediately afterwards to take and keep a place
among the competitors After rounding the turn passing
the Stand Jeffery took Paul Jones up to the girths of Tho
Clown, who was leading the field at a cracking pace.
The favourite at this point had for his immediate
attendants Thalia, Treasure Trove, Minster Bell, and
Goodwood, the latter pair having advanced from the
rack, and were now in front of The Priest, Seville, and
Grey Stocking, Stradbruke and his stable companion,
Caithness, heading the ruck, prominent in which was
Beauty, the last three as they rounded the railway turn
and made for the stretch along the Dee side being Strath-
conan, Abergeldie, and Dalby. No material change oc-
curred in the positions as indicated until making the turn
at the Grosvenor-bridge, when the lot toA closer order—
but The Clown as they came into the straight shot out
again, and before reaching the Stand was fully a couple of
lengths in advance of the favourite, who was followed by
Thalia and Strathconan, next to these coming Goodwood,
Minster Bell, and Priest in a body, they being succeeded
by Beauty, Treasure Trove, Seville, and Stradbroke; clear
of the latter were Bracken, Abergeldie, Caithness, and
Dalby, Mr. Beunett's horse acting as whipper-in until
rounding the workhouse turn, when Mordan took him
through his horses, taking his place at the quarters of
Strathconan, and at the head of a body of horses, who
were so closely packed that but for one or two of them
running rather wide at the Railway turn, a scrimmage
was inevitable. As it was, both Strathconan and Dalby
were slightly cannoned against, but not hurt. As they
traversed the Dee side Beauty drew out of the ruck,
and Thalia beating .9e. retreat the retirement was
taken advantage of by sir. Wood's mare, who ran into
third place, lying three quarters of a length in rear of the
favourite. Half a mile from home Tho Clown had shot
his bolt, and Paul Jones at once took up the running,
Beauty and The Clown being, however, in close attend-
ance on the favourite, and just in advance of Goodwood,
Strathcouan, and Dolby, the field being now rather strap-
glad. On reaching the Midge turn The Clown dropped
away, and Dalby took the third place, lying just in front
of Goodwood and Strathconan. Within the straight, how-
ever, it was apparent that Paul Jones, who was coming
along at a rattling pace, had the race in hand. Dalby and
Strathconan dropped back as soon as the straight was ,
reached, and before nearing the distance aetuty was in
trouble, and Goodwood alone was left to struggle with the
favourite, and, despite Parry's resolute riding, Paul Jones
never allowed the Amanda colt to get to his head, and
drawing away at the commencement of the Stand enclo-
sure, he won very easily by a length. Goodwood was two
lengths in advance of Beauty, and the latter three lengths
in front of Strathconan, Dalby, close up with the "gray,"
was fifth, not more than a heal in front of Bracken, sixth.
Then cane Minster Bell seventh, Priest eighth, The
Clown pulled up lame, ninth, Stradbroke tenth, and Caith-
ness eleventh, slight intervals separating them. Thalia
was twelfth, Treasure Trove thirteenth, and Grey Stock-
ing
latternext.
