pounds, afterwards offered currently. (The report that
he passed through London on Thursday was premature;
he sweated at Newmarket that morning, left yesterday,
and arrived at Leatherhead in the afternoon per van.)
Takers of 12 to 1 about Orlando, and of 18 to 1 each

ASCOT RACES.
These races, which commence on the 4th of June,
promise an abundance of sport, and fully deserve the
patronage bestowed,-on them. By the programme of the
races published in the last sheet " Calendar," we per-
ceive that the large sum of 1,250/ is advertised to be
addbd to the different Stakes, Plates, &c. (exclusive of
the Gold Vase and her Majesty's Plate), independent
of the recent outlaY of 5001. for the new weighing stand
and other improvements. In order to enable the worthy
Master of the Buck Hounds to meet these heavy de-
mands, his Lordship has determined on admitting none
to the small inclosure for carriages opposite the winning
post, except subscribers of Si. each to the Race Fund,
for whose accommodation it .was originally intended ;
and as the space will be very limited, an early applica-
tion to the Clerk of the Course is absolutely necessary to
ensure a place in undoubtedly the best situation on the
course. Should the weather prove favourable, a large
and fashionable company may reasonably be expected.
The course is in beautiful condition, and the ploughed
gallops we are sure will be found superior to any other
description of training ground ha such dry weather as the
present.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Harrington Bache, a builder at Peckham, was charged be-
fore Mr. Cottingham, with forging a bill of acceptance for
501., purporting to be drawn by D. and M. Davis, with in-
tent to defraud Ebenezer Fitzgerald.
The complainant stated that he was in the habit of lend-
ing money, and that he discounted a bill of 501. for the pri-
soner, purporting to have been drawn by the above-named
parties. When it became due, and he presented it for
payment, he was then informed that the name of
the drawer was forged, and having communicated
this fact to the prisoner, he insisted on his im-
mediately accompanying him to Mr. Davis, to have the
matter cleared up. Complainant then, in the presence of the
prisoner asked Davis whether his name, attached to the bill,
was his hand writing. He disclaimed it ; upon which the pri-
soner asserted that it was, adding that he was present in the
room, and saw Davis write his signature to the bill. Davis,
however, having still persisted that he knew nothing what-
ever of the transaction, the complainant gave the prisoner
into custody.
The prisoner, through his solicitor, declared before the
magistrate that Mr. Davis had drawn the bill in question,
and as the latter person was not in attendance, Mr. Corrni
mar directed that the case should stand over for his attend-
ance.

A woman named Hickson was charged with having in her
possession a quantity of smuggled tobacco.
The defendant was stopped carrying a basket containing
tobacco, which she said was given to her by her sister-in-law,
whose husband belongs to one of the Hamburgh steam
vessels. She added that there were other articles in the
basket, and the tobacco being underneath she was not aware
of its-presence. This latter assertion, however, was contra-
dicted by the officer, who said the defendant must have
known that the basket contained tobacco.
The MAGISTRATE said that as the defendant was not
known there before he should fine her twenty shillings, and
in default, sentence her to be committed for seven days.
