cussion, their fm Cher consideration was postponed till

MONDAY, JUNE 17.
PRESENT:—
Right Hon. G. S. Byng,
The Earl of Stradbroke, Stewards.
The Marquis of Exeter,
The Hon. Col. Anson The Hon. Capt. Rous
S. Batson, Esq. J. V. Shelley, Esq.

Wynn, Bart.

Geo. Payne, Esq. I
The Members of the Jockey Club having assembled to
take into consideration some circumstances which have
lately occurred on the Turf, and which seem urgently to
require that the attention of the Club should, without
delay, be directed to them, have come to the following
resolutions :

First—That cases- have occurred in which persons
have fraudulently entered to run fur stakes (which, by
the published conditions were limited to horses of a spe-
cified age), horses above tl,e age so specified; gaining for
the horses so entered !In unfair advantage over their
competitors, and thus races have•been won by horses
which were in reality not qualified to start.
conlly—lt appears to the Club that such proceed-
ings not only tend to defraud the owners of those horses
which would otherwise have been winners, but are calcu-
lated to inflict an injury upon the Turf, by bringing
racing into disrepute, and by. deterring honourable men
from entering into a competition in which they run the
risk of being encountered by such dishonest rivals.
Thirdly—That the Club, as patrons of racing, have in
this matter a direct interest separate from that of the
individuals who may happen to be sufferers by such

frauds ; and that it behoves them to take care thatn
all such cases the law, by which such frauds are punish.
able, should be duly enforced. But it may frequently
happen, that the individuals upon whom such frauds
have been practised may, on application to the stewards
of the race, obtain redress, so far as regards the pay-
ment of the stakes ; and, being content with this, may
not choose to incur the trouble and expense of prosecut-
ing the offending parties, and thus such parties, or other
parties of a similar description, may be induced by the
expectation of impunity to repeat attempts of the same
kind.

Fourthly—That in all cases in which it shall be esta-
blished to the satisfaction cf the Jockey Club,that a fraud
has been practised, or attempted by any person, in re-
gard to the Entering or running any horse for any race,
or that any other fraudulent proceeding, which is
punishable by law has taken place in regard to any race,
the Jockey Club shall, if they think fit, with the consent
of the party aggrieved (in case such party should decline
to prosecute), take such steps as may be recommended by
proper legal advisers, for the purpose of inflicting on the
offenders the punishment to which they have rendered
themselves liable.

Fifthly—When the age or qualification of a horse is
objected to, either before or after running for any race
in which he is engaged, the stewards, or those
whom they may appoint, being members of the Jockey
Club, shall have power to order an examination of the
horse's mouth by competent persons, and to call for all
such evidence as they may require; and their decisions
shall be final, unless they shall think fit to recommend
that the question in dispute be carried into a court of
law.

Sixthly—lf a horse shall run in any race in England,
or elsewhere, and it shall be proved to the satisfaction
of the stewards, or of those whom they may appoint,
that the horse was not of the age represented, the owner,
or part owner, trainer, or groom, or person having the
charge of such horse at the time, shall be for ever dis-
qualified from running or training any horse where the
rules of the Jockey Club apply, and from b, ing em-
ployed by any member of the said Club.

Seventhly—No horse foaled out of the United King.
dom shall be entered for any race where the rules of the
Jockey Club prevail, unless the owner shalt, at the tine
of naming, produce to the person appointed to receive
such nomination, and leave with him a certificate from
some racing club of the country where the horse was
foaled, or from the Mayor or other public officer of the
district, stating the age, pedigree, and colour of the
horse, and the marks by which it is distinguished.
The appointment of the Marquis of Exeter as steward
of the Jockey Club, under rule 4, was notified to the
meeting, and unanimously confirmed..
Another meeting of the Club is to be called on Satur-
day next.

ROYAL EXCHANGE.

The following is the last report sent it by Mr. Tite,
the architect of the Royal Exchange, to the Joint Grand
Committee for Gresham Affairs:—

MERCHANT'S AREA.—The caning of the various en-
richments and the stone-work generally is rapidly pro-
ceeding. The fresco decoration to the ceiling of the
south entrance is finished, and that to the north entrance
is in a very forward state.
LLOYD'S.—Subscription-room—The pricking up is all
finished. Lobby—The greater part of the bracketting
is finished, and the lathing has been begun. Com-
mercial-room—Above the cornice the plasterer's work,
with the exception of filling in the various enrichments,
is compl6ted; below the pricking up is finished. The Cap-
tain's-room has generally received one coat of plaster.
Reading-room-1 he plastering to the lathing is finished,
and the ceiling pricked up.
TWO-PAIR FLoon.—Very little remains to be done in
order to complete the rooms upon this floor, south of the
staircase ; on the other the plastering is finished, except
that to the room in the tower, but the matched linings
remain to be fixed.

TOWEL—The staircase leading to the clock chamber
is in its place, and the inclosures for the works of the
clock and chimes are finished. The workmen are fixing
the remainder of the lightning rod, under the direc-
tion of ➢lr. Walker, so as to continue it down to the
ground and into the drains.
NON-APPROPRIATED OFFICER.—The two-pair floor is
finished. One-pair Floor—All the plastering is corn.
pleted, with the exception of the water closets and the
passage, which last only remains to be floated. The
floors are laid in the board-room, shipping offices, and
secretary's room, and commenced in the others.
ROYAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE.—Two-pair floor may
bo considered as finished, as only some very trifling
matters remain to be done. One-pair Floor—The plas-
tering to all the floors is completed, and to the passage
nothing remains but the last coat. Both the staircases
are set.
LONDON ASSURANCE.—Two-pair Floor—This may be
considered as completed. One-pair Floor—All the plas-
tering, excepting that to the passage, is finished. The
staircases to the floors arc laid in the governors' and
court-rooms.

GENERALLY.—Thecarved enrichments are being com-
pleted externally, and the cleaning down of the west
front has been commenced.
CLOCK.—The works are an completed, and Air. Dent
reports that the compensation pendulum has been going
two months, and that its performance is highly satis-
factory. In reply to my letter, urging that the clock
should be fixed without delay, he begs that the latest
time possible may be permitted him, because he is
anxious to avoid every chance of damp from the very
thick walls of the tower in which it is to be placed.
From this recommendation I am induced to recommend
the Committee to allow it to be postponed until the bells
shall have been all hung.
BELLS.—The bells are all cast, and by Wednesday or
Thursday next they will be ready for the examination by
Mr. Professor Taylor, as to their tone. As fast as he
approves of them they will be fixed in the tower.
ENCAUSTIC PAINTING.—I am happy to state that this
work is proceeding with great rapidity. 'I he ceiling on
the west side is very nearly completed, and that on the
whole of the south side is in great forwardness. There
are altogether 28 or 29 artists and workmen employed
on these ceilings, exclusive of Mr. Sang himself ; about
two-thirds of these are Germans, and the rest are Eag.
lishmen. W. TITE.
21st May, 1844.

sion to the throne, which took place on June 20th, 1837.
