" At a meeting of the most influential subscribe!!
to Tattersall's interested in the Derby and Oaks
tlement, it was unanimously agreed that no pogibly
impediment could exist to the settlement of all ac-
counts on the Derby, in which the names of Runoill
Rein and Orlando do not occur ; and that, therefor.%
the settling will take place this day, as usual, with tl3
above exceptions."
The meeting referred to in the above document'
which was posted in the Subscription-room, t°°.,
place in the early part of the afternoon, and W 55, 11',
intimated, attended by several of the most influentodi
subscribers. At a late hour the room became crowded':

and some actually commenced paying and receiving'
we presume that, with the exceptions mentioned, it
will be proceeded with this day, as usual.
THE LATE MR C ROCKFORD'S ACCOUNT. e.
In the course of the afternoon, a letter wss
ceived by Mr. Tattersall, from Mrs. Crockford,
copy of which, and of the opinion given by the

of Stradbroke and the Ron. George Byng, two of
Stewards of the Jockey Club, we subjoin
trust that the circumstances which cause 01°
to address you, will be a sufficient apology for doiegisirs
" Being ignorant of the custom in use at Tatter if
in situations parallel to the one I now find tor%
placed in, I consider it best for me at once to ply
your hands the betting-book of my deceased hosp,all4;sll
"You will perceive and, in case Running Real "A
receive the stakes, there will be a loss of 604/ ; an

and would wish you to apply this sum, together if' t,
the receipts from the several losers, to pay as far as ;nil'
be"t claims of the sve.-al winners. t cas'
It is possible thate, in a case of this sort, it is not
tomary to settle the book ; should it be so, I v'm Dot
tomary
to establish a precedent.
