LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Brougham).
IN RE 11. J. BYRON, THE THEATRICAL MANAGER AND

This bankrupt was described as of 27, Doughty-
street, London, and of Liverpool, and he is a well-
known dramatic author and burlesque writer,
having recently taken three theatres at Liverpool,
the failure having arisen through his carrying on
those establishments. The total liabilities are about
£5,000. The bankrupt was adjudicated upon his
own petition cn the 4th March. Messrs. Lawrence,
Plews, and Bowyer were attorneys to the plaintiffs,
and some debts were proved, but no creditor was
willing to accept the responsibilities of trade
asaignee, and *o the choice stood over till May 4th
instant.

POLICE 11V17SLLTGENCE.-THIS DAY.

A SCENE II COURT.—Elizabeth Keefe, a young
woman, was charged before Mr.Tyrwhitt with being
drunk and disorderly.
Sergeant Sarah, 1 C, said that on the previous
evening the prisoner took her mother (au inmate of
St. James's workhouse, and who had been on a visit
to her) back to the workhouse in a cab. On the
mother getting out of the cab she fell on the pave-
ment helplessly drunk, upon which the prisoner set
to abusing hef in violent terms because she would
not get up and go into the workhouse. Having
taken the mother into the workhouse, she returned
to the street, when the prisoner set to abusing him
in such a manner that he was obliged to take her
into custody.
The prisoner here took off her boot, and threw it
with great violence at the sergeant, but it fortu-
nately missed him.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked .the prisoner whether she
was marri ed.

The prisoner said she was not.
Alr. Tyrwhitt—What a fortunate chance it will
be for the man who should ever be blessed with
you. You are a violent woman, and
,will have to
pay 20s. or 14 days.

The prisoner said she would serve seven years for
he sergeant.

ROBBING A CONSTABLE'S Winow.--John Hen-
ning, a surly-looking lad, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with picking the pocket of Mrs. Char-
lotte Simmonda, the widow of a constable of the E
division, of a purse containing money.
The prosecutor, who has only lost her husband a
few weeks, was walking from one door of the
chapel in Marshall-street to another last night
when she felt the prisoner's hand leaving her
pocket, and she then missed her purse containing
Bs. She gave an alarm, and the prisoner was
stopped and taken to the station, and subsequently
the purse was found down an area on which the
prisoner was standing when taken into custody.
Thomas Geley, a lad, proved seeing the prisoner
drop something down the area.

The prisoner said the last witness was a liar, and
15f that he would give him a smack in the eye.
Nest, 54 C, proved taking the prisoner into
custody, and afterwards finding the purse down an
103 21 area.

Gordon, ,13 C, said there were convictions
against the prisoner, and he could not have left
prison more &han two or three days for stealing a
watch.
The prisoner told the constable not to tell lies.
Gordon said the prisoner had also been twice
before at that court.

The prisoner asked that the matter might be
settled at once?

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he could not deal with
the case.
The prisoner asked to have one more chance, but
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for trial.

SPOR7ING NOTES.

The Northampton Meeting will take place on Tuesday
next, and the Stand Plate looks like going to MANTON, as
it is not likely that Vespasian, Mr. Pitt, Orion, Goojerat, or
several of the other better class animals engaged will put
in an appearance. The acceptances for the Delapre Han-
dicap will not be declared until to-night, and meanwhile it

is a matter of guess to select anything, but ZISCA ought to

give a good account of herself, and to her or EAU DE VIE I
shall leave the race. Some twenty runners will probably
face the starter's fig for the Great Northamptonshire
Stakes, and I shall only comment on those animals which
are at all likely to be heard of or distinguish themselves
in the race. There can be no question if Squire Heath-
cote's mare conies fit and well to the post she will take an
extraordinary amount of beating, still I cannot stand her
at the weight. The Findon lot consist of Romping Girl,
Thalia, Proserpine, Sister to Vedette, and Demon. The
Goddess of Comedy, after her unsatisfactory exhibitions at
Epsom, will nut, I fear, emerge from the clouds and
win on the present occasion, and I have a very indifferent
opinion of Proserpine and Sister to Vedette's merits ; con-
sequently, if Lord Westmorland is to get back the money
he invested on his ja ly man! last week, it must be by the
aid of humping Girl or Demon. Both of them will stay
over the course, and the first-named mare, who is nicely
weighted, is likely to be very troublesome to the winner.
Christmas Carol will, to my notion, find the distance too
far for him. Tormentor will have been made a few pounds
better than when she ran second at Warwick, and ought at
least to obtain a situation. I think it is any odds on her
beating Ack worth, although the latter will prove good
enough to win a handicap before the year is out. Wolsey
has been heavily backed, but I cannot believe in his pre-
tensions to attract the judge's notice over this long and
and difficult course. He may win, but surely the St. Liz
Handicap, over a shorter course, will suit him much better.
Lucifer, who is said to be very fit and well, should not be
overlooked, as ho is " turned loose," and will stay every
yard of the way ; indeed, ho possesses an outside chance
second to none in the race. Ido not believe in Ailesbury,
Feodor, Roquefort, Stephen Langton, Jezabel, or Nine
Elms for one reason or other, which it is not necessary to
recapitulate. Lord Hastings has been supported by
Fobert's stable for "heaps of money," and has always
been remarkably firm in the market since the
betting commenced. The form he displayed last
year would not be good enough to win a race of this de-
scription, but it is not a fair test, as 1 am persuaded he
never was made thoroughly fit, besides he has most as-
suredly made great improvement since that time, and
under the impression that he and Fervacques are one and
the same animal, I consider this event is almost reduced
to a certainty. The latter, at any rate, could not be beat,
if he were in with 7st. It looks any odds on Blueskin
and Kettleholder beating the other three-year-olds. Mr.
Saville's horse is almost as well in with his penalty as
when he won the Metropolitan, and will take an immense
amount of beating; still I doubt his being quite good
enough to win. I mention Kettleholder because he is
sure to improve on the form he displayed for the City and
Suburban one of those fine days, and should not be
lost sight of whenever he rues. There may be several
other competitors, but I see nothing to interfere with the
chances of Romping Girl, Lucifer, Lord Hastings, and Blue-
skin. Of these I have the greatest faith in Louis HASTINGS,
who will, I think, have no difficulty in winning, and my
recommendation is LUCIFER and LEAP YEAR for situations.
The Sweepstakes of 10 sous each, for 2-year-olds, will go
to HILDA, and the Whittlebury Stakes will certainly be
wan by LADY COVENTRY, if she runs.
The previous day's running will materially affect the
chances of several of those horses which are engaged
for the St. Liz Handicap. At present I prefer the chances
of Wolsey, Python or Kettleholder, Lady Coventry, Grey
Stocking, Ligurian, and Cotytto, and whichever represents
Godding's stable, PYTHON or KETTLEHOLDER will be
about winning. Of the forty-six nominations left in
for the Earl Spencer's Plate my preference is for Mr.
Pitt, Vespasian, Orion, Moonbeam, Zisca, Alruna, Sycee,
and Laird of Scotland. Most horses run better over
one course than another, and as the two first named animals
have previously travelled successfully over this very
course, I think it feasible to suppose, especially as
they are both leniently weighted, they may do so again
and I shall, therefore, leave the race between SYCEE and MR.
PITT. At the same time I expect to see LAIRD OF SCOTLAND
run into a place. My fancy for the Sulby Handicap is the
FILLY BY VEDETTE OUT OF CAPUCINE. If CURIEUSE is
brought out for the Althorp Park Stakes I shall stand
nothing else, but I expect to see Mr. Merry's Sunflower
filly run better over this course than she did at Epsom, as
the distance now is a quarter of a mile less.
