LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This•Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
THE CLERKENIVELL EXPLOSION.

This was a special case by order of Mr. Willis,
and involved the question whether the Hundred of
Ossulston, which includes Clerkenwell and the
house of Detention, are responsible for the in-
juries done to the property in Corporation• lane
by the recent diabolical attempt to blow up the
House of Detention, and for which Michael Barrett
now lies under sentence of death.

After a description had been read of the manner
of the explosion, and the silent inlnner in which it
was carried out, Mr. Mere Weather said that the
plaintiff in this case was the owner of houses 3 and
4, Corporation-lane, which had been wholly or par-
tially destroyed. lle applied to a magistrate, but
had been advised to apply to a judge, and Mr. Justice
Wiles had been applied to and had the case stated. It
appeared from the Act that any persons who in a
riotous and tumultuous manner destroyed a house,
chapel, or church, that the inhabitants of the hun-
dred in which it was situated should make good the
mischief done, and this he apprehended was in order
to punish them for not preventing such kinds of
practices.

Mr. Baron Martin—How could persons engaged
in such an undertaking, which they carried out
secretly and silently, be called a tumultuous, rio-
tous meeting ?

Mr. .Mereweather considered that, although they
might go silently to the walls of the House of De-
tention, yet, when there for the purposes of destruc-
tion, they were virtually a riotous and tumultuous
meeting.

Mr. Baron Pigott—You would not call these
men who went to burn a hay stack a riotous and
tumultuous meeting ? •

Mr. Baron Martin said that, according to the
book before him, that there must be more than three
persons assembled together, and they must by overt
acts create a riot and tumult, and it was property
destroyed during the existence of such a condition
of things that the inhabitants of the Hundred were
responsible for. _ _

The Lord Chief Baron said that he was most de-
cidedly of opinion that this blowing up of the
House of Detention did not come within the scope
of a riotous and tumultuous meeting.
The Court accordingly found for the defendants.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE FENIANS. —A SCENE AT THE WEST END.—
Dennis Lee, a costermonger, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a pint-pot, containing
sreet
gses.newroal rthdeoaflecro,popfersr belongingho3nix to Mr. Whitton, a
Soho, and the
case having been proved against him he was com-
mitted for trial.

Out of the above ease arose the following :

Patrick Murphy, a tailor, was charged with being
disorderly and attempting to rescue Lee from cus-
tody, and also with assaulting Police-sergeants
Nathan Leech, 17 C, and George Appleton, 26 C.
Sergeant Leech said—Yesterday evening about
seven o'clock I was in Little Pulteuey-street, where
there was an assemblage of above a thousand
persons in consequence of the Fenian prisoners
having been liberated. Ann Justice was standing
at the open window, at a first floor, clapping her
hands, and inciting the mob to make a disturbance,
and calling out " Fenian Victory." As the man
Lee was being taken along the street to the station
on a charge of felony, the prisoner called out, "
is one of our own ; do not let him be taken down,"
and then caught hal of Lee, and said " You shall
not go down." I pulled the prisoner away, and he
then struck me on the side of the head with his
fist, and I then took him into custody, and on the
way to the station the prisoner kicked Sergeant
Appleton, who came to my assistance, and was
very violent at the station. The prisoner is known
as being a constant associate of the men who were
acquitted, and was arrested at the time with them,
but discharged.

The Prisoner —I do not remember anything that
occurred.

mr. Tyrwnitt—Was the prisoner drunk'?

Sergeant Leech,-Yes. • .
Sergeant Appleton ,26 C—l was passing along
Little Pulteney-street yesterday evening, and saw,
Lee in custody, and the prisoner strike Sergealit
Leech, and try to rescue Lie. I assisted in taking
the prisoner to the st ition, and we had a great diffi7
cltlty in doing so. ()ti the way the prisoner kicked
me, and he also kicked me at the station.

The Prisoner—l am not acquainted with any of
the prisoners, who were discharged yesterday.
James Weeks, 160 Alt.—l was taking Lee to
the station on the charge of felony, when the pri-
soner came up and said, " Denny, have a fling
for it," and then the sergeant came to my assist-
ance.

Mr. Tyrwhitt,There was a time when the tailor
trade was a quiet one, but it was now a pugnaCl94B;
one; and the prisoner would be dealt with accord-'
ingly, and go to prison for 14 days for each. assault.
Maria Burns was charged as follows :—Police-
constable Owen, -140 C—l was in Little Pulteney-
street yesterday eveniog and saw the prisoner there.
She was creating a disturbance. She was drunk,
and one of the leaders of the disturbance which was
going on. I got her away after the disturbance,
but as she returned and would not leave, I took her
into custody.
Tyrwhitt
_
—.What was She doing ?

Constable—She had her bonnet off, her hair
hanging down, and
she was swinging her arms
about in a triumphant manner.
S,Tgeaut Appleton—l saw the prisoner inciting
the mob to raise a disturbance, and she was drunk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—rue
prisoner will have to pay 55.,
or seven days.

Mary Ryan, of Green's-court, Little Pulteney-
street, was charged as follows :
Timberlake, 129 A It —I was in Little Pulteney-
street last night, where about 700 or 800 persons
were collected, and the prisoner, who was drunk,
and had been turned out of different houses, was
making a great disturbance by shouting out at
the top of her voice, 4, Hurrah, hurrah," and as I
could not get rid of her I took her into custody.

The Prisoner—l only went to see what was the
matter.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—One may see by your appearance
(she w.,s a very low-looking woman) what sort of
people were assembled. You are too contemptible
to be sent to prison, and are therefore discharged.
It appears that Little Pulteney-street was in a
state of uproar all yesterday evening in consequence
of the friends of the discharged Fenians celebrating
the event, and such was the commotion caused that
it was necessary far the superintendent, two inspec-
tors, and several constables to be in attendance.

The attempt to procTe a judicial condemnation
of . the Catholic doctrine on the subject of the
Blessed Sacrament is being prosecuted under some-
what remarkable circumstances. The Court of
Queen's Bench is asked to issue its mandamus to
compel the Bishop of London to institute proceed-
ings against a priest of the diocese of Bath and Wells,
on the ground that the doctrine impugned was pub-
lished in a work sold within the diocese of Lou-
don. It is obvious that if the Court should comply
with this application, Dr. Tait might soon find
himself in the position of ecclesiastical prose-
cutor for the entire Anglican Church. Judging
from the language of the Lord Chief Justice, there
is very little fear that so InDnstrelolutsly
a the
Churchproposition
will be acceded to, and consequently
Association will be compelled to adopt some other
expedient for carrying out its p2rsecuting, policy.
The language charged against Mr. Bennett
can hardly be said to be theologically ac-
curate so far as it implies nakedly a
" visible " presence, but it is not the inaccu-
racy, but the true Catholic doctrine covered by it
which is the ground of complaint. It is worthy of
remark that the party which seeks the condemna-
tion of a doctrine which bespeaks a special reverence
for the person of our Blessed Lord has not a word
to say against those who deny His divinity. They
persecute those who uphold the unchanging faith of
the Catholic Church, but they cheerfully tolerate

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEET-ING.
TUESDAY.
THE Two THOUSAND GUINEA!.

What has been termed the "Trial Heat" for Eh() great
event on Epsorn litpwns has caused this year Mae. -usual
amount of interest and speculation, puzzled prophets., per--
plexed touts, and made the keenest judgment falter to its
award. The hems who were favourites in the wintar are
now so no longer ; the "crack " who but some-0 hours
since was bound to be second, if not first, has temporal ily
disappeared from the scene. Something of this sorb of
thing occurs every year ; but every year it comes u.pon lts
with a certain amount of freshness, and we are elntrd or
cast down, our views confirmed or upset, much as has be n
the case for the last 20 years. If history repeats itself,
turf history does so in a peculiar manner, as any one who
takes the trouble to glance over a file of our spotting con-
tempotaries may perceive.

After the result of the Middle Park Plato last year, in
which S:r Joseph Hawley was first and second, tho Two
Thousand was considered at his mercy. Throughout the
winter Rosicrucian had been the acknowt'dged horse of the
stable, but influenza a short time sinco breaking out in it
Sir Joseph has had to seek the winner from among the other
descendants of Beadsman. The running of Blue Gown in
the Craven week appeared to put him out of it, and so the
Middle Park winner, Green Sleeve, at the elevent't hour
becomes the rei,resentative of this gentleman.. Formosa,
who was certainly third in the Middl.3 Park Plate, has been
throughout much fancied by the public for this event, and
the way iu which Lo Sarraziu has been • backed, together
with the excellent form shown in France by Count de
Lagrange, brought him yesterday to the position, of first
favourite.

This morning saw other changes. As little as 3to 1 was
taken about Green Sleeve at the Rooms, and the two mares
dispossessed.the Frenchman from his position. To keep
up the stock of surprises, the supposed knocked ont and
broken-down Pace came again, and was freely backed at 10
to 1. Fourteen came to the post, and with the exception
sif Vale Royal, Bauditto, St. Ronan, and Moslem, wore
saddled in the enclosure at the end of the Rowley Mile.
The appearance of Pace, Formosa, RosicruCian, Green
Sleeve, and Le sarrazin co nmanded the most attention,
and 'if the first named, had broken down, as ,was coofi-_
deafly said, he certainly had recovered in a surprisingly
short time.

At the appointed hour they were given in charge to the
starter, and soon despatched, the colours of Moslem, For-
mosa, Le Sarrazin, St. Ronan, Danditto, and Sir Joseph's
two being the first to show in the van, a position they kept
to the Bushes, when Formosa and Moslem took -a more
decided lead, and in the Abingdon Bottom these two drew
away, and ran an exciting race home, attended by St.
Ronan, the first two making a dead head of it. Moslem
appeared to us to run a little the stouter of the two, and
would probably have been the favourite if the heat had
been run off, but the owners agreeing to divide, Moslem
walked over. The pace was good, and if the running
of those behind the three placed be eorrect it is not Derby
form.
The day was a disagreeable one. The heavy raine of
Monday had failed to lay the dust, and the wind was cold.
The attendance was immense, and the "rough" element
rather unpleasantly preponderated.

Several breaks away retarded the start some time, but

They quitted the starter in close company, but widely

they separated, anl immediately after Ironmastor and Ban-
ditto dropped away from the front and joined the rear-
most, horses. Formosa then took her place at the girths of
Mr. Crawfurd's colt, about half a length in advance of Le
Sarrazin, Groon Sleeve, Rosicrucian, and Vale Royal, the
last-named four being nearly abreast. In fact, so closely
packed were the seven as they swept over, the brow of the
hill that a sheet would have hidden the lot, but as they de-
scended the hill for the Abingdon Mile bottom Le tiaras-
zin was observed to be in difficulties; and shortly after
lost his place, followed when fairly in the dip by Green
Sleeve and Rosicrucian. These retirements left the race
With the three, who came on together to the commence-
meet of the rails, Moslem still having a trifle the best of it

have the best of it for a few strides, but Moslem coming
again with great gameness, and getting tr.) in the last
