DONCASTER RACES.,

DONCASTER, SUNDAY NIGHT, 11 O"I)LOCK.—it, is too soon
to say to what extent the expectations of the inhabitants with
regard to the coming meeting will be realised, but that i 0
will be fully and fashionably attended, should the weather
continue fine, scarcely admits of a, doubt. 'Several arrivals
took place so far back as Thursday ; since. then 'they have
considerably increased, and most of the principal lodgings
have been taken ; the list, too, promises well for sport, and,
if we may venture an opinion, from the number of horses
now in the town, and the additions to be expected to-morrow,
the fields, except for the St. Leger, will be good in proportion
to the nominations. In our next parcel we stiat be enabled
to give a complete list of the arrivals ; meanwhile, we sub-
join the names of those that have reached the town in the

REGISTRATION COURTS.
MIDDLESEX.

---ifi.4"iii;eappeared for the:Conservatives, and Mr. James
!or the Radicals. _ _

---iientlenan of the name of Meek was objected to by the
Nadia Is.

The claimant appeared in person, and stated that this was
the fourth time he Shad been brought down from town to
substantiate his vote. _

Mr. James—Will you tell me, Sir, where your-property is
situated ? Mr. Meek—lt is next to the field where the poor-
house was.

James—Where it was! that is our objection. The
poor-house has been pulled down, and, therefore, there is no
such place ; if you will give a proper statement of the situa •
Lion of ylrur property, you will not be troubled again.
Mr. Meek then gave a particular statement of the place
*here his houses were, and the name was retained.

EAST SURREY.
Mr. S. C. C. Fish, the Revising Barrister for the Eastern
Division of the county of Surrey. opened his first court at
twelve o'clock yesterday morning, in the Town-hall of Reigate.
Mr. Hart (solicitor) appeared on the part of the Conger-
and Mr. E. Itussell (solicitor), Mr. Jeanes, and Mr.
1(of the Anti-Corn-law League), on the part of the
Liberals.
The claim of James Ivory, of the parish of Betchworth,
was objected to by the latter, on the ground that, although'
paying upwards of 50/. rent, he held under different land-
krds. On being examined he admitted that he paid 371. hospe-rentito one person, and decidedd to another.
"The objection was, therefore, to be valid, and the
claim was rejected.
Mr. Oldboroagrh Heniker, of No. 70, Chancery-lane. Lon-
ion, claimed to regieter in respect of a rent-charge of 425. on•
od in thurstowe
.posseakon of Mr. Frederick Heniker, in the parish
B
The claim was objected to by Mr. Jeanes, on the ground of
asulficient 'description of the • property ; but the objection
sing overruled by the Revising Barrister,
Mr. Heniker applied for the expenses he had incurred in .1
attending to defend his claim.
Mr. Jeanes felt himself justified in opposing the applica-
tion, as Ie objection that there was nollocal description given
of the Noperty was a perfectly fair one to raise.
Mr. Itussell (on the same side) said, that the question was
a vary important one, and one which was likely to arise fre-
eramtly in the course 1 the revision. In the overseers' list
the (kcal description of the property. was entirely omitted,
audit was a question whether, strictly speaking, that did not
invalidate the deka. . .
The REvrs&O BARRISTER observed, that in the list"he had
received-from the clerk of the peace it was correctly given, as
at C,opthorne.
Mr. Russell said, that in the list which they had received
from the eNerseer it was merely described as a freehold rent-
,charge on land in the occupation of Frederick Heniker. They,
therefore, felt that the Court ought to hesitate before award-
ing costs.

the REvist,;rii BARRISTER admitted that if that fact were
established he could not regard the objection to the claim as
itivolous, and therefore could not allow the costs.
The overseer acknowledged the error, and received in con-
sequence a reprimand from the Court for his carelessness, with
an intimation that he should not be allowed the expense of
printing his list.
The claim was allowed, but without costs.
The claim of George Coleman, of Otley, was successitilly
objected to by the Liberals, he being only a trustee for the
property out of which he sought to vote.
The Court,
_at its rising, adjourned to ten o'clock thii
morning., To-morrow it will be held at Croydon.

CRIMINAL COUR.T.=—MONDAY.
OLD COURT.
Alfred Ca Mk, surrendered in_ discharge'of bail to take his
trial on an indictment for misdemeanour.
Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, v:liich was brought
forward at the instance of the Society fe:c the Suppression of
Vice; Mr. Ballantine appeared, for the defendant.
It appeared from the statement o 4: the Learned Counsel for
the prosecution; that the defendant had carried on, under the
name of Ward," the bush of of a book and printseller. at
No. 103, Strand, and that the sth of July last he sold f
an agent employed by ti):e Society by which the prosecution
was promoted, two oliweent and indecent prints for thO sum
of 88., and on the 9th of the game month another print of a similar nature anal cl'oarneter.
These theta were, proved by the agent, a person of the name
of Alfred Charles, Smith, who was corrobomted in the leading
particulars by Polici-sergeant Chadwick, of the F division.
In the cfrarse of cross-examination of the witness Smith,
he state" that he had been nonce at the shop of the defendant
before/the first purchase was made, but denied that he had
asked to be supplied with the articles in question. He ad-
mkted, however, that on being shown some French prints, he
. uked to be shOwn " something more curious," upon which he
~was shown into an infer room by the defendant, who pro-
duced a portfolio containing 80 or 90 prints, from which the
witne,ss selected the three which formed the subject matter of
the present indictment. He also admitted that there were
not any indecent prints exibited publicly in the shop or its
windows.

•
l'he prink, which were produced and handed to the !-ary,
were admitted to be of an utterly disgusting character;
The case for the prosecution having closed,
kr. BALLA/TIMM submitted to the Court Wit the indict-
ment. which was lit common law, ,was notomstained by the
evidence. The question he `propounded to the Court was,•
whether the sale to a single individual '.'rho went, for the pur.
pose of purchasing the article was sw..l a transaction as could
constitute such a public offence?..B,wasindictable at common
Jaw without reference to the Aatnte? He (Mr. Ballantine)
contended that such a selling► andlittering was not an offenceat common luw, and therefp2re the indictment as framed could
not be sastained. The Learned Counsel cited the dictum of
Lord Ellenborough the case of " Smith v. Harden," 3
chm pbell's Reports., in support of the point he had raised.
The IteconnEr: remarked that his present impression was
against the obje.ction, but he would make a note of it, and
point it out t' the Judges, if necessary, on their arrival for the
present sess'on.
Mr. ltatiArrrixe then addressed the jury on the merits,
and called two witnesses to character. One of the wit-
nesses proved that the defendant told him that he had pu.t
tip the name of Ward before h'in chop becatwe he did not
like to ..iisplay his own name. The same witness added
that Om defendant was the *son of Richard Carlile, who was
an oF 'feet of notoriety some years ago, and that was the
rear m why the defendant had, kept back his own name.
rehe Reconnnn then summed up the case 'to the jury,
Who returned a verdict of" " ;Guilty," and in answer to a
*question left to thetnuby the Court, added to their verdict
that they •belie Ted the defendant had the prints in his pos-
session &rthe purpose of sale.
The RECORDER said he'would postpone the sentence until
he had mentioned the point raised by Mr. Ballantine to the
Judges. In' the meantime 'the defendant must stand con-
wicted.
The defendant was then-conveyed through the dock into
the body of the prison.
The Court, after waiting nearly two hours for want of
bills .being returned by the grand jury, . disposed of one or
two paltry cases of felony of do public interest, and ad-
.ourned at live o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.) •
THAMES.
Henry Thoodonss Hark', a fine-looking •young German,
who spoke no English, was charged with• stealing a bill of
exchange
_for- 80/.4 the propertyof Mr. Peter Icanser, a German
sea captain trading to this .Leountry. The circumstances of
the egite, as well as others which came to light, exhibit great
depravity on the part of the prisoner. In June
,last the pro-
secutor went to lodge at a house in• Parsons-street; Wapping,
where he found the wisonerovith whotn fhilow-country-
Ivan he formed ar. acquaintance Perceiving that the pri-
inner was in warit, Mr. Hanser rendered-him every assistance,
sharing his alvartment with him, and feedinglim at his own
table. Captain flamer having to sail for Hamburgh; Whilst
on the vojragte missed the bill. of exehatige from a pocket.
book Wl.iph wed to lie in a trunk in the room•occupied by
hiinseq and the prisoner, upon whom however his • suspicion
did not fall, not ,aupposing_ he could be gUilty of such base
ihrfatitude. Subsequent events, how-ever, tended to' show
tt.at he was the thief, and then Captain Ilanser' remembered
that on one occasion he. had left Hertel aleite in the room
when the key was in the trunk. The ci:reumstsnces which
led to the discovery were these :---A gerdleman named Popart
met the PriSoner some time previous to the' stealing
of the bill at the Hoof and - Horseshoe, Queen-street,
Tower-hill, and hearing he was in great distress, for the sake
of their Common father-land, not only paid his bill, amount-
ing to 21. 35., but also advanced him-something to go on with.
He, however, had reas,,-,n subsequently to entertain a poor
opinion of Tiarters hitegrity, the latter having mentioned
his intention of doirighis landlord in Parsons-streethy getting
hid trunk of clothes out at the window during the night.
Mr. Popart felt it his duty to mention the matter tryetie
landlord. and the design was frustrated. Mr. Pepest 'having
beard a few days ago that:the prisoner had been try-..ng to nego-
tiate a bill ;:tf exchange with a German iperchaire in the City,
who, however refused to treat with him, as tl' bill was madepavabh, at Cronstadt (to Captain Hans;a- himself), he sue.
pectnd it was the produce of, a robl;,ery, and taxed the pri-
soner, who admitted the theft, O;,Q said he had forwarded the
Fill to a brother at Hambu:gh.. He.afterwards said he had
Bent it to his sister, 'win resided there. Mr. Popart gave
information at Denn,,dek..street station house on Saturday
night, and, after P;', active search of five hours, the-prisoner
was arrested h Inspector Donegan, of the 11 division, at No.
10. Garder .pace, St. George's-m-the-East. • The inspector
subseque`k searched lodgings previously held by the pri-
soner, rifd found there letters written in. German relating to
the r.,s,b,ry.
Title prisoner, who admitted' the theft through an inter-
erreter, was remanded for a week, to afford Inspector Donegan
an opportunity of procuring the bill from namburgh.
A young man, named John Ship, was charged on suspicion
of stealing a sovereign and some silver, the property of Ser-
geant aneLazarus, coal-merchants at Wapping-wharf.
Mr. Sergeant stated, 'that at half-past six o'clock on Satur-
day morning, on entering the counting-house, helound the
door had hen broken open. A desk had also, been broken
open, iron'. which the money was abstracted. A small box
tied wit% red tape, and which had the' appearance of being
valuaNe, had also been removed: 'Before. getting at the
countir.g-house, the party must have access thrOugh a gate,
of w,,fch the prisoner's father kept the key ; and their sus-
Pie:on was excited in consequence of the prisoneeiknowledge
of. the premises.

Roliert Noakes went to his work at half-past three o'clock,
but found it closed. He called on the prisoner's father, who
lived clps:l by, to open the gate, and,' in doing so, old Ship
observud Ord somebody had been there since he left it last.
Witnessisaid that perhaps it was Mr. Sergeant ; and when
the let. in they found two of the horses loose.

sonees mother had just released, paying for them with a so-
vereign, two half-crowns, and five shillings. Witness had
also ascertained that the prisoner's father had been paid his
