LAW AND POLICE.
The celebrated Running Rein case was commenced in the
Court of Exchequer before Baron Alderson. The utmost in-
terest was manifested by the sporting world in the proceed-
ings, and the Court was crowded to excess. The proceedings
occupied the whole of the day, but terminated at an early
hour this morning, by the jury returning a verdict for the
defendant, Colonel Peel, establishing the right of Orlando to
draw the stakes of the Derby.
The session of the Central Criminal Court commenced yes-

kept to hard labour for twelve months.
John Salteill, alias John Alfred de Salteill, aged 22, de-

Harris, and that on the 16th May he married, at the church
of West Ham, Harriet Bates Davison, his first wife, Jane,
being then and now living. A peculiar feature of the case
was, that the first wife knew that the man was going to
marry the second woman, and the second wife knew that he
had been married before. It seemed to be a quiet arrange-
ment between all three of them. The prisoner was sen-
tenced to one month's imprisonment.

tection of a gentleman named Somers, who had recently de-
