The heat for the Cup was a very severe one. Me.
teora was the favourite, but the odds were six to four
in favour of thc. field. Meteora beat Bob Booty by
about a neck, and Tim about a length.—The Dar-
lington Stakes were won easily by Plover. It was
a hollow thing, six to four Plover against the field at
starting.—The heat for the Sweepstakes was well
contested, and excited great interest. The favourite,
however, was the winner.—The Town Plate, for the
want of a third horse, as on the former day, was not
run for. Thus ended the Races here for the season. 1

Dow. —On Saturday, at Chelmsford, Jonathan
Layton, Lieutenant Cane, and Lieutenant Nation, of
the 95th regiment, were indicted for the murder of
Brodie Grant, Captain of the same regiment. There
was no evidence whatever but that of two countrymen,
who saw four Gentlemen go under the cliff at Dover
Court, Harwich. They heard a firing of pistols, and
saw three return. On going to the spot, they found
a man dead on the beach ; but they did not know the
persons of the prisoners. They were of course acquit-.
red i - but Lord ELLessoitovnit observed; that there
had been no pains used to prepare this prosecution ;
no Counsel had been employed. The county ought
to make farther inquiries in such cases as these.—
The death of a man ought not to be passed over
with So little inquiry.
Early on Friday morning, the town of Chelms-
itird was alarmed with the cry of fire, which, front
the recent distress of the sufferers by the same c ala-
mity, excited no small degree of terror. It broke
out in a stable belonging to the Greyhound Inn,
near the Shire Hall, but it was happily got under in
the course of half an hour, after having burnt down
part only of the premises. The consternation that
prevailed was past description. It being the time of
the Assizes, the house was full of persons who came
upon law busines.4 The alarm was first given about
two o'clock, and the lawyers were amongst the first
to be roused by it : many of them ran to the place of
devastation, and several banisters half undressed,
were active in giving their assistance and their 4, ad-
' vies" for extinguishing the flames. The police officers
succeeded in pulling down a large outhouse, which
had been pitched the day before, and in Aiming the
orses out of the stables..
