CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY).
John Leaver, 45, hair-dresser, was indicted for felo-
niously administering to Margaret Leaver, his wife, a
quantity of arsenic, with intent to murder her.
In other counts the offence was differently charged.
Mr. Doane prosecuted, and Mr. Wilkins de;ended
the prisoner.
The circumstances of this case have been very re-
cently fully given, and it will, therefore, not be neces-
sary to go into them at any length upon the present oc-
casion. The prisoner, it will be remembered, carried on
the business of a hair-dresser in Bermondsey-street; and
for some time before the occurrence in t question the
prisoner and his wife had been upon rather unfriendly
terms. On the 29th of May, the prisoner's wife was in
bed, and after the tea things were laid the son of the
prisoner saw him put something in his mother's tea-cup,
and he observed a sort of white scum on the top of the
tea. The tea was sent up to the prisoner's wife and she
tasted it, and immediately felt a burning sensation in
her throat, which induced her not to drink any more of
the tea. The tea-cup and its contents were eventually
sent to Guy's Hospital, where it was discovered that the
tea contained a small portion of arsenic. It appeared
in the course of the case, that it had been the custom in
the prisoner's family to use soda in the tea, and also
that the house was infested by rats, and that arsenic had
been purchased for the purpose of destroying them.
Mr. WILKINS addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
called several witnesses, who gave him an excellent cha-
racter for humanity and good conduct.
Mr. Baron GURNEY having summed up, the jury de-
liberated for a short time, and then 9xpressed a wish to
retire.

They were absent about half an hour, when they re-
turned into Court and gave a verdict' of Not Guilty.
Samuel Withers, 25, and Henry Giles Atkins, 32, were
indicted for feloniously uttering a forged 51. note, pur-
porting to be one of the Bank of England, with intent
to defraud the Governor and Company of that Cor-
poration.

Mr. O'Brien appeared for the defence.
The charge was clearly made out, and the jury,re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.
The police-constable stated that the prisoner Withers
had been before convicted of felony.
Withers denied the truth of the statement, and de-
clared that he had never before been in custody.
Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, said he had no
doubt the prisoner had been in Newgate before.
Withers still declared it was not true, and Mr. Baron
Gurney postponed the sentence until further inquiry
was made.

Daniel Wright, 21, sailor, was charged with- forging and
aLtering an order for 3901., with intent to defraud Sir C.
Scott, Bart:, and others.

Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecution,
and Mr. Wilkins appeared for the prisoner.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had gone to
the Banking-house of Sir C. Scott, in Cavendish-square,
and presented a cheque for 3901., which appeared to be
drawn by a gentleman named Pulsford, upon the Bank
of England. The cheque was made payable to Mr. G.
Redmayne, the silk mercer, in Bond-street, and as he
kept an account at the prosecutors' bank, no suspicion
was entertained, and the money was paid
over to the prisoner, who presented the cheque.
Upon the document being transmited to the
Bank of England it was at once discovered to be a
forgery. The prisoner was shortly afterwards appre-
hended at the Victoria Hotel, near the London and
Birmingham Railway station, in company with a female,
and on his being taken into custody he admitted the
offence, and said it was a bad job, but he must take the
consequences. On his being searched a quantity of
jewellery, and 701. in gold were found ,in his possession,
and also another forged cheque; which he told the
officer he intended to have uttered on the next day, if
he had not been taken into custody. As he was going
to the station-house he said to the constable, "The women
were the cause of it all."
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Baron inquired who and what the
prisoner was?
Mr. `Wilkins GURNEYai d that
he was the son of a respectable
tradesman, and on the death of his father he came into
s
the possession of some money which he very quickly got
rid of, and in the course of his career of dissipation he
became acquainted with some very bad characters, who
had probably induced him to commit the offence.
Mr. Baron GURNEY said he could not look upon this as
any excuse for the prisoner's conduct, and he felt it his
duty to sentence the prisoner to twelve years' transpor-
tation.

Joseph Clark, 27, Andrew Murphy, 22, Charles Saun-
ders, 27, and Emma Farmer, 32, were indicted for a
burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Tayler, and
stealing a quantity of copper money, some fourpenny
pieces, and other articles, his property.
The prosecutor is the landlord of the Black Horse in
Kent-street, and on the Right of the robbery he went to
bed, leaving the premises all safe. He was awoke by a
police-constable in the night, and it was then ascertained
that some thieves had entered the premises by a window,
and that the articles mentioned in the indictment had
been stolen. The guilt of the whole of the
prisoners was clearly proved, as they were stopped run-
ning away from the prosecutor's house with the stolen
property in their possession.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri-
soners Clark and Farmer were also proved to have been
before convicted of felony.
Mr. Baron GURNEY sentenced the prisoners to be
transported for twenty years.
When the sentence was pronounced the whole of the
prisoners became very violent, and the woman, address-
ing the Learned Judge, said, in animpudent tone—
" Can't you give us any more, old fellow ?" It was with
some difficulty that they were at length removed from
the dock.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—lt cannot be too generally known, that the time
limited for stamping agreements under hand, entered
into since the 6th instant, without a penalty, is, by an
Act which received the Royal Assent on that day (7th
Vic. cap. 21) fourteen days only, and not twenty-one
e
as heretofore ; and that the penalty is increased from
5/ to 10/, the stamp duty being reduced from 20s. to
2s. 6d. It is proper, however, to understand that no
letting alteration
houses has taken
and
otherp lac
e ipnr property,
rtdyn, duty
which continue, as of agreements for
before, liable to stamp duty as leases, such being still
20s. duty where the rent is under 201., and 1/ 10s.
where the rent is 201. or under 100/, and so on. The
other stamp duties reduced by the late Act are those on
sea insurances, and on proxies to vote at meetings of
joint-stock companies, which latter are reduced from
30s. to 2s. 6d.

SUDDEN DEATH OF W. BACKHOUSE, Esq.—. Much

fell down, and immediately
ton. Mr. Backhouse, being a member of the Society of
Friends, attended the meeting-house in the evening, as
usual. He arose to address the congregation, and,
expired.whils whilst in theTh

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE:
HAMPTON RACES—WEDNESDAY.
Sir James Graham's interdiction of gaming on race-
courses, although it may not touch several of the first-
Gloss meetings, have a serous influence on the minor ones,
and more particularly on those within the " Home Cir- '
cult." Thus Hampton, which of late years, has fur-
nished sport enough for three profitable days, com-
menced yesterday with such diminished resources, that
the third day has most reluctantly been given up.
Egham, previously in a tottering state, from the "poverty
of the land," has also "pronounced," and several other
places that we will not prejudice by naming, must adopt
a similar course, if they be not compelled to quit the field
altogether. The effect of this prohibition on Hampton
was not confined to the curtailment of a day's racing ;
those who were present yesterday must have been struck
with the half furnished appearance of the course, arising
out of the absence of the long row of gay marquees, that
were wont to be all life and excitement ; they must also
have missed the pea and thimble gentry, and that compa-
ratively harmless class that have so long presided over
a game of skill, at which the risk was small and cheating
impossible, termed in the House of Commons " throwing
the stick," a game, we take it, not a whit more dis-
reputable than one often played by Hon. Members,
known as throwing the hatchet. All these features had
disappeared, and, wanting them, the meeting yesterday
was superlatively flat, and, we fear, unproductive.
The course was not kept by the police—a few were
present, by order, we presume, of the higher powers,
some of them mounted and armed with sabres; but the
duties hitherto performed by them were entrusted to
men employed by the lessees of the ground, and, it is
due to them to say, were quite as well executed; we
understand that nearly one hundred are engaged for the
same purpose this day. The assemblage of company
was of that varied character peculiar to Hampton,
obliging us, in our notice of the fashionables, to restrict
ourselves to a very small selection; this selection, how-
ever, will show that many of the old supporters of
M oulsey Hurst rallied round the proprietors:---Marquis
of Worcester, Earl of Lonadale, Earl of Rosslyn, Count
Bathyany, Lord A. Paget, Lord Glammis, Lord Long-
ford, Lord E. Russell, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Maid-
stone Lord Macdonald, Lord Ranelagh, Sir J. Kaye,
Sir d. Ibbotson, Sir G. Heathcote, Sir W. W. Wynne,
Sir V. Cotton, Sir D. Baird, Hon. Capt. Rous, Hon.
Boyle, Hon. P. Villiers, Hon. G. Ongley, Hon.M. Ongley,
Hon.L.Wellesley, Hon. Mr. Lowther, Col. Knox,Col. Peel,
Messrs. Magennis, Blair, Williams, Williamson, Gra-
ham, Cayley, Bastard, Greville, Rush, J. Stanley, Payne,
Drummond, &c. The day's sport, which was under the
personal superintendence of the Stewards, Count Ba-
thyany, and the Marquis of Worcester, assisted by Mr.
Parsons, as Clerk of the Course, and Mr. Hibburd,
Judge, produced the following results :
The Stewards' Plate of 50/., added to a Sweepstake of 5
sovs. each, 3 yrs, 7st 71b, and 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; Melt
&c. allowed 3 lbs, winner to be sold for 350 son., if
demanded. Once round and a distance. 8 Subs.
Lord E. Russell's Nat, 4 yrs (Sly) 1
Mr. Ongley's Queen of the Gipsies, 4 yrs 2
Mr. Payne's cby Clearwell, out of Nininka, 3 yrs ... 3
Sir W. W. Wynn's Rowland, 4 yrs
6 and 7 to 4on Nat. The running was made round
the first turn, and thence to within two distances of
home by the Nininka colt ; Nat then took the lead,
kept it, and won easy by two lengths. Mr. Payne's colt
a bad third, and Rowland nowhere.

The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes of 20 sovs. each,
10 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 50 added. 2 miles.
Lord Lonsdale's Blackdrop, 4 yrs, Bst
Mr. Willoughby's nd Subduer, 4 yrs, 6st 91b
Mr. W. D. Willan nd The Devil-among-the-Tailors 3
The following also started, but were not placed .
Lord George Bentinck's Bramble, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; Mr.
J. Cobb nd ch h Hampton, 5 yrs, Bst ; Lord Maidstone's
Deuce Ace, 3 yrs, sst ;lb ; Mr. T. L. Wellesley nd Lufra,
3 yrs, sst 41b. 6 to 4 on Blackdrop. The Devil-
among-the-Tailors made play to the top turn, where
Deuce Ace overpowered her rider, went on the wrong

MARYLEBONE CLUB AND 'GROUND AGAINST TIM
COUNTY OF SURREY WITH PILCH.—This match was brought
to a conclusion on Tuesday, when a large assemblage of VLIP.
tors as well as members of the Marylebone Club were present,
the former of whom congratulated the victors upon their
achievement, for the Surrey, won by three wickets, notwith-
standing they were in the minority of twenty-two on the
first "hands." The bowling on the second day was as
beautiful and true as upon:the Monday, and it was only with
the greatest difficulty that the balls could be hit away. The
Marylebone Club resumed the bat, but were unable to gain a
score of more than fifty-two for their second innings. Of
these the only scores of consequence, and they were compa-
tively small, were those of C. Harence and A. K. George,
Esq., the former marking 13 and the latter 11 (not out).
The Surrey went in, and having obtained the number, 76,
they required to place them in the position of winners, retired
amidst the applauses of their friends. Pilch and Martingale
each got 11, whilst Brockwell, a fine and slashing left-handed
hitter made 30 in excellent style, scoring a five, four threes,
two twos, and the rest in ones.
