IMPORTANT SALE at LLANRWST,
IN NORTH WALES, AND THE EXTRAOR-

I)INARY RESULT.

Our quiet little happy town has put on additional
animation during the past week ; indeed tradition does
not refer us to anything approaching it. Now
at folks far and near are interested in the rise and fall of
land, we suspect the accompanying short statement will
be acceptable to our readers :—Oh, such a scene of delight
and bustle Llanrwst has never before encountered. For
several weeks it was announced throughout our princi-
pality, that a portion of Mr. Mostyn's extensive estates
in this vicinity were to undergo the uncertain fate of the
hammer, and it was also made known that Mr. George
Hb:ns, from London, was deputed to wield his magic
hammer on this important occasion. These circum-
stances combined, could not fail to induce a great sensa-
tion, although it certainly had not been expected that
public curiosity had arrived at such a pitch, for the sale
was, until a very few days antecedent, announced to take
place at our favourite inn, kept by mine host of the Eagle,
(Thomas Jones) until public expectation proclaimed the
impossibility of the largest room holding a tithe part of the
expected audience. Then it was resolved to gain
permission from the proper authorities to have the use
of our Town-hall. This granted, the next thing was to fit
it up in a style worthy of the renowned advocate who
was appointed to officiate. All thiswas quickly accom-
plished, and in a manner not to be exceeded in the
great metropolis. Around all the arches were suspended
inferior
to of oak and laurel ;in short, it was not
to the manner in which I have seen Willis's Rooms fitted
up for a concert in London. Well, the day arrived, or,
rather, the never-to-be-forgotten days, the 26th and 27th
days of June. The hour appointed to draw up the
curtain was twelve, and long before this time arrived
the Town-hall was crammed, and in this anxious crowd
were lots of ladies who hatl travelled far and near to
hear and see this Lion of the South. Punctually as the
clock struck, Mr. Robins left his inn, accompanied by
the Messrs. Williams, the celebrated solicitors, who are
the professional advisers of Lord Mostyn and his bro-
ther. Mr. R. lost no time in making his appeal to an
overflowing auditory, and was exceedingly happy in his
complimentary allusion to the numerous ladies who
adorned the hall. He told them that an exordium,
which they all seemed to expect, was, in his
opinion, " a practice more honoured in the breach
than the observance," since their time would be so
much more effectually employed in proceeding directly
to actual business ; however they should not be altogether
disappointed, and he very soon won, their hearts by ad-
dressing them in a merry mood, and immediately after-
wards their golden opinions by producing a competition
and an excitement that quite astonished the natives.
The leading auctioneers of our parts seemed more on
the qui vice than any one else. The biddings com-
menced quickly, and they proceeded in such an earnest
and spirited manner that Mr. George Robins
very frequently took the opportunity to compliment
his congregation, by saying that throughout all
his travels over a period. atmzveding 40 years, he had
never been honoured by a more spirited or liberal audi-
tory. In this large sale was included a portion of the
town of Llanrwst ; and the lands extended for two or
three rAiles off, with a turnpike road on one side, and
the river Conway for its boundary. Nothing could be
more eligible than such a property. The situation Mr.
Robins described in his usual happy way ; and he only
stated what is very true, when he assured them that
throughout North Wales nothing can exceed the splen-
did scenery which extends for miles around, and in-
cludes the peaceful vale wherein our town is placed.
The famed water-fall ofßhiader-y-Wennol, so highly and
anxiety for the re-appearance of Mr. Robins amongskthem.
so properly eulogised by the tourists, approximates upon
the property and Lord Willoughby D'Eresby's beautiful
villa is close by. His woods are a vast acquisition, inasmuch
as without creating any expense, they furnish a
landscape for Mr. Mostyn, that is not to be ex-
ceeded throughout England. The living here is
very cheap, and Mr. Robins did not omit it
eulogy, nor did he forget to. remind them
of Cents. at par, and money in London pro.
dinucTihnhirgseae per
tthe outside one-and-a-half per cent , nor did he
urge these facts in vain, as will presently be
seen by the extraordinary results. The estate was
estimated (including many of the houses in the town) at
1,7001. a year, and the sale exceeded 70,000 guineas, being
an average exceeding
42 years' purchase.
Mr. Robins alluded to Sir Robert Peel's renowned
observations on the corn-laws, at the opening of Par-
liament, and it had evidently considerable effect,
inasmuch as the little doubt that had previously
been entertained of Sir Robert's sincerity to adhere
to his own law was triumphantly demonstrated last week
by the sad figure 111 r. Villiers' motion cut in the House
Commons. It may now, in truth, be said to be buried in
the Tomb of all the Capulets, and his yearly farce no
longer worth a trial; in short, put upon the shelf, sine die.
The good folks of this town look forward with no small
It is whispered he will sell in lots during the month of

THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—
Mopday the sale of the first division of the very extensive
and valuable library of the late Duke of Sussex, was com-
menced at Evans's, Pall mall. This portion, which consists
entirely of theological works, will Occupy twenty-four days,
and consists of no fewer than 5,546 lots. Although by no
means containing any specimens of the more valuable works,
the books disposed of yesterday fetched, in many instances,
high prices. Thus Lot 167, hiblia Sacra Polyglotta, first
edition, Compluti, 1514, sold for 16/. ; and the next, Biblia
Sacra Polyglotta, Anto. Plantin, 1569-72, fetched 101. This
edition of the Polyglot was, at the time of its publication
(according to Calmet), called "the wonder of the world."
The greater part of the impression was lost at sea, in a tem-
pestuous voyage to Spain. Another edition of the Biblia
Jay, Paris 1645, sold at 11/. ;
°pi Yrignitetdt a a'
preface," fetched exactly twice the sum, 221. Then came
and
dcra oneP
Lot 172, being also Biblia Sacra Polyglotta, but "with the
Royal preface," which was knocked down at 23/. 10s. The
room was filled with literary and antiquarian gentlemen,

and the utmost interest seemed to be excited among all
present.
CURIOUS CIRCUBISTANCE.—A proof of the voracity
of the cod may be adduced from what follows :—One
was caught at Invergordon last week, in the stomach of
which was found a silver-handled pen-knife in the best
state of preservation, the carving on the handle being
of beautiful workmanship in silver, and noways injured
by its encasement in the belly of the fish.—Glasgow

RUNNING REIN CASE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Julytl.
(Before Baron ALDERSON and a Special Jury.)
WOOD V. PEEL.

(Continued from our ➢corning Edition of yesterday.)

After the examination of other witnesses whose evidence
was not material, at a little before four the case for the
plaintiff was closed, when the Jury retired for refreshment,
and on their return into Court,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proceeded to address them. He
commenced by expressing his great surprise that the case for
the plaintiff should have terminated so suddenly and so
abruptly, because, considering the nature of the facts which
the plaintiffs had undertaken to establish, and the descrip-
tion of persons he had called to support them, it did appear
astonishing that his Learned Friend should have been con-
tent with such an imperfect and unsatisfactory conclusion.
He could only account for the great boldness of his Learned
Friend in the case by the circumstance of his having been
kept in complete ignorance of the most important particulars
and most essential facts; because he (the Solicitor-General)
could not believe that the parties who had instructed his
Learned Friend were not perfectly aware of the nature of the
defence that was to be set up, and the manner in which it
was proposed by the defendant to establish a gross and scan-
dalous fraud committed by the plaintiff. The real question
between the parties was this, and these were the facts that he
(the Solicitor-General) would undertake to prove for the jury :
—The case of the plaintiff was, that the horse which ran at
Newmarket, and beat the Duke of R utland's horse, Crenoline,
and which ran also the day after, winning easily at a gallop
—as nu doubt he might do, the truth being now known—was
a colt got by The Saddler out of the dam Mab. The case of
the defendant was that the horse was not Running Rein at
all, but a colt by Gladiator, out of a dam belonging origi
nally to Sir Charles Ibbotson, and that it had the name of
Running Rein imposed on it, being originally called
Maccabeus, having been entered fur certain stakes under
that designation. That was the question at issue, namely,
whether the horse that won the last Derby was The Saddler
colt or Gladiator colt ? "What he (the Solicitor General)
meant to allege on the part of the defendant was against
Goodman in fact—for he would put the nominal plaintiff
entirely aside in the transaction. He would prove that he
and a Mr. Henry Higgins, with another or others, were the
parties engaged in a concert or conspiracy for the purpose of
running horses above the proper age ; and he would prove
that in pursuance of that concert, in September, 1841, Good-
man purchased the Gladiator colt at Doncaster, which was
born on the 17th of April, 1840, the dam being the property
of Sir Charles Ibbotson. Before the colt was purchased by
Goodman it had been entered for the Derby of 1843, on the
nomination of a Mr. Watson, as " Bay colt by Gladiator,
dam Mab, foaled in 1833, by Capsicum," and Goodman pur-
chased him with all its engagements. He bought some other
fillies at the same time, and he paid for that colt and became
its owner in 1841. The colt was then taken to Northampton
by the way of Weedon, and it was put into the stables of
the George, on the application of Mr. Henry Higgins,
whose cousin kept that establishment. Mr. Worley, a re-
spectable farmer residing near Northampton, was then in
duced to take the colt into his paddocks. It remained
there until January, 1842, and during that time it met
with an accident—a severe wound on the near fore arm, just
above the knee—in attempting to clear the fence in its fright.
Mr. Gurling, a veterinary surgeon of Northampton, cured the
wound, and in July the colt was sent back to the George.
From thence it was taken to Vigo Cottage, where Mr. Henry
Higgins lived with Mr. Cousins ; and afterwards it was trans-
ferred to a coachmaker's yard at Northampton. From that
place it was removed to a paddock taken by Mr. Sutton, an
attorney of Northampton, at the instance of Henry Higgins,
when, in again endeavouring to clear the fence in its fright,
it received another cut in precisely the same place as the
former. This wound was also cured by Mr. Gurling; but
they both left an indelible mark in the animal. On the 21st
of September, 1842, a person named Watson, broke the Gla-
diator colt, and took him up to London. Watson had been
subpoenaed, but he would not attend, although every dili-
gence had been used to compel him. They were three days
on the road ; the first day they stopped for the night at
Woburn, the second at St. Alban s, where it appeared Wat-
son met with an accident. On the 24th the Gladiator colt
was brought by him to Haines's stables, in Langham-place,
and that brought the case to a point to which the jury should
direct their closest attention, because here it was that the at-
tempt was first made to palm off the Gladiator colt as Running
Rein. The case of the plaintiff was that The Saddler colt, Run-
ning Rein, was brought to London in January, 1842, sent
down to Bean's, at Finchloy, until the 24th of September fol-
lowing, brought up to London to Haines's, till the 27th of
September, and then taken by Drewitt to Smith's, at Epsom.
Now came the importance of :.i'eorge White's evidence. The
plaintiff was bound to produce unexceptionable evidence to
prove that the colt was that which he was described to be ;
but Bean had told a tissue of falsehoods, and there was no
evidence whatever to establish the identity of the animal.
Why was not Mrs. Bean called? The fact was, it would be
proved by several persons who had no interest in the matter,
and who could not be mistaken, that all Bean had sworn
about the colt having been taken from him in September,
1842, was untrue; for that it was in his possession until the
February foll Owing: A document was produced, addressed
to Bean, purporting to be an order for the horse, and dated
24th September; but was it not fair to suppose that those
persons who could commit the fraud of substituting one
horse for another, would not stick at fabricating a thing
of the kind? Besides, it was suspiciously clear; and it
had no authenticated mark—such as a post mark on it—
to denote the day of its delivery. The jury should have
their attention drawn to the fact—a remarkable fact—that
between Haines's stables and Bean's house at Finchley,
though short the distance, and small the time, the colt
appeared to have changed his colour. The cowkeeper swore
that he was a rusty dark at Finchley ; but Rayner, the ser-
vant of Haines, swore it was a bright bay while he remained
with them; and it was further sworn that he continued of
that colour while at Epsom. It was curious, also, that evi-
dence should have been given of a little injury that happened
to the colt at Bean's, although the plaintiff pretended not to
know the course that was to be taken by the defendant. In
September, 1842, the colt (Gladiator, according to the de-
fendant) was taken to Smith's, at Epsom, and there was no
doubt that it got the name of Running Rein at that time. He
was called Maccabeus at Mr. Worley's, in Northampton.
Ile remained at Smith's till October, 1843, when he was sent
down to perform the engagements of Running Rein at New-
market. He then beat the Duke of Rutland's Crenoline. That
was a two-year old race ; but Gladiator was a three-year old
colt. Suspicions were excited with respect to the identity of
the horse, and an objection was made to the payment of the
stakes by the Duke of Rutland. An inquiry was thereupon
instituted, and Lord George Bentinck was satisfied that a
fraud had been committed, by substituting one horse for an-
other. He took care to have his witnesses ready; and that
was a matter of charge against him by his (the Solicitor-
General's) Learned Friend, who had accused him of clothing
andfeeding the boy Kitchen—

Mr. Coclnunrr-LOh, no.
Baron ALDEnsoN—Mr. Cockburn only said he was sent to
the trainer's to be trained.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was glad to find that he had
mistaken his Learned Friend. The boy was brought to the
stable, and Goodman refused Lord Stradbroke, who came
on the part of the Jockey Club, to let a veterinary surgeon
examine the horse's mouth, at the requisition of the Duke
of Rutland. Upon this the Stewards of the Newmarket
Meeting decided that Goodman should not be suffered to
run a horse again until he had submitted him to such test
as should be required. Having carried the history of the
Gladiator colt to that point, he should have to introduce to
the notice of the jury another horse which had been used in
the furtherance of the conspiracy. A gentleman of the name
of Fergusson, who had an Irish horse named Gone Away,
met with Goodman at the July meetings of 1842, and Good-
man agreed to hire that horse from September 20, 1842, to
September 20, 1843, for the sum of 500/., and half the plates
and stakes he might win with him. On the 6th of January,
1843, Gone Away arrived in England, and Goodman received
him from his owner in Liverpool, paying just 4001., and
giving his I 0 U for the remainder. He was taken thence to
Haines's stables, in Langham-place. The Gladiator colt,
after July 1, 1843, was a three-year-old, and had been en-
tered for the Derby, as already stated, while the property of Sir
C. Ibbotson. lie had been entered also for the Epsom Spring
Meeting under the name of Maccabeus, and it was therefore
necessary that Goodman, who had purchased him with all
his engagements, should have a horse to represent him,
while he was in training for the Derby of 1844. It will be
proved that Gone Away ran under the name of Maccabeus,
accordingly, at the Spring Meeting at Epsom ; and that he
was beaten by Captain Flathooker. It was necessary that
he should be made as like Maccabeus as possible ; and to
make him so his tail was converted from a switch into a rat
tail, by docking ; and one of his pasterns, which was
white was absolutely dyed black, by a mixture bought from
a person named Rossie. That was the reason why the wit-
ness Smith could not swear to the identity of the animal.
The horse Gone Away was a four-year old ; while the race
was for three-year old horses. It was the intention of Good-
man to run him for the Gladiator colt at the Derby ; but in
the meanwhile his owner, Mr. Fergusson, returned to Eng-
land, and seeing the tricks that had been played with the
horse, he put a stop to it, saying, that his horse could win
money fairly, and that he would enter him for the Goodwood
Cup. Goodman had told him, when he suggested that the
identity of the horse would be discovered, if he ran under a
false name, that Lord George Bentinck had not recognised
him at the Spring Meeting at Epsom. Gone Away was then
taken to Ireland by Mr. Fergusson, and there he died ; but
the Gladiator colt was alive, and ran at the October New-
market meeting, and also for the Derby, as Running Rein.
At the Newmarket and Epsom meetings, Mr. Worley, who
had charge of the colt, and Mr. O'Dell, who knew the colt,
had not the slightest doubt that Running Rein was the Gla-
diator colt, and they would distinctly prove his identity, as
they saw the Derby won. It was thus traced from hand to

The case was adjourned till this day.
