THE MELODY COLT AFFAIR. }1 J'
The inquiry into this case, which was commenced on &due-
day last before the Stewards of the Jockey Club, assisted by
Lord Normanby and Colonel Peel, terminated yesterday even-
ing. The following is a copy of the official report and sen-
tence :
We have examined into the charge against Mr. Crommelin.
of having offered John • Day, jun., a large bribe to procure the
defeat of the horse then called the Melody colt, in the Derby of
1840. This charge, founded upon a statement made to Mr.
Etwall, the proprietor of the horse, by John Day, jun., was
supported only by bit own evidence, which we find to be
utterly unworthy of belief, contradicted, as it was, on many im-
portant points, by letters in his own handwriting of that date,
addressed to Mr. Crommelin, and produced by him. It having
been necessary for Mr. Crommelin's defence that he should
place these letters in evitlehee before us, we further find from
the contents that,,subsequent to this period, bath John Day,
sen., and John Day, jun., had not only continued but incre.aed
their-intimacy with Mr. Crommelin, whom one accused, and
the other believed capable of such atrocious villany, and to
which person John Day, jun., was in the habit of confiding the
secrets of the stable. The nature of this connexion appears to
us to have been very discreditable to all the, parties concerned ;
but, considering the length of time that has elapsed
since the transactions occurred, we think it unnecessary now
to take further steps with respect to this part of the case,
than to give the strongest expression of our opinion that such
a connexion as has been established is calculated to destroy
that confidence in the faithful attention of public trainers to
the legitimate interests of their several masters, on the security
of which the continued prosperity of the Turf can alone rest.
John Day, junior, having before us endeavoured to support
a criminal charge by wilful falsehood, we direct that he be
warned off the Course at Newmarket, and nut of the Coffee-
room yard there, and be not permitted to ride in any race at
Newmarket.
We also recommend the Proprietors and Stewards of all
Race-courses, where the rules of the Jockey Club are in force,
to prevent him from appearing in such courses.

NEW GERMAN HOSPITAL—A public meeting was
held yesterday morning at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
aking into consideration the necessary steps to be adopted for
establishing an hospital exclusively for the poor Germans resident
in the metropolis. his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
occupied the chair. There were also present Chevalier Bunsen,
the Prussian Minister, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Ashley,
the Duke of Cleveland, S. Gurney, Esq., and several other gentle.
men who are taking an interest in this matter. After taking the
chair, his Royal Highness dwelt upon the necessity there was for
the establishment of such an hospital. Although the Germans
were never refused admittance into any of the public hospitals,
yet from the fact of many of them speaking English imperfectly.
their wants were often misunderstood and ill supplied. His Royal
Highness concluded a warm appeal to the generosity of the English
elation, and to the Germans resident in London, by stating that
her Majesty the Queen was a donor of 300!. and an annual sub-
scriber of 1001. Resolutions were subsequently moved, r mom-
mending an establishment of the kind to the public, on the geounds
that there were at present 30,000 poor Germans in the met topolis,
most of whom were, from the nature of their occupations (sugar-
refining, skin dressing, and skin dying), exposed to accidents and
subject to ailments that often reduced them to want and extreme
misery. Other formal resolutions were proposed and cm:Tied, and
a.ter thanking his Royal Highness for his condescension ;in tains
the chair, the meeting separated.
