EGHAM RACES —WEDNESDAY.
Having to contend against the rival attractions of L st '
and Eltham, the races yesterday drew only a nioderat
attendance, and although productive of some extraordi—
nary fine sport, did not excite any peculiar interest. The
weather was intensely hot, and but for an abundant sup-
ply of iced champagne, and other cooling appliances, at
Nicholson's well provided marquees, would have been
intolerable. In the course of the day considerable pro-

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bristol, August 23.
BISHOP V. CASE.

Mr. Erle and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Kinglake for the
deindant.
This was an action to recover damages for a libel,
and for a malicious prosecution. The plaintiff was a.
baker and cabinet-maker at Frome, in which town
also the defendant was a tradesman. The defendant
had inserted an article in the Hue and Cry, offering a
reward for the apprehension of the plaintiff, alleging
that he had committed an act of felony, and had ab-
sconded. The defendant also caused a warrant to be
issued against the plaintiff for felony, and the plain-
tiff had, in consequence, given himself up to the police-
, officers. It was further alleged that the plaintiff had
sustained special damage, in consequence of the acts
of the defendant, inasmuch as he had been a con-
tractor for the supply of articles to the Poor-law
Union, and it was necessary to have sureties for the
due performance of the contracts ; but the plaintiff
could not now obtain such sureties.

Evidence was produced showing the libel, the war-
rant, and surrender of the plaintiff, his being taken
before the Magistrates, who dismissed the complaint.
And his former sureties swore, that in consequence of
that libel and the warrant, they had declined again
beComing sureties for him.
Mr. Justice WrioirrsrAN left these questions for fhe
consideration of the Jury—lst, whether the publica-
tion of the libel had been brought home to the de-
fendant; if they thought it had, then, 2d, whether
they considered there was any malice ; and 3d, what
damages they thought the plaintiff had sustained.
The Jury found that the
,publication was proved,
but tbat there was an absence of malice, and that the
plaintiff had sustained damage to the amount of 40s.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 23.
CIVIL SlDE—(Before Lord DENMAN.)
SAMPSON V. BENTLEY.

This was an action for assault and battery.
Mt. Knowles and Mr. Cleasby conducted the case
of the plaintiff, and Mr. Dundas the defence.
It appeared that the defendant is a tinman at Hud-
dersfield, at which place the defendant, who is a gen-
tleman by profession, lives also. The defendant being
a person of independent property, has (said the
Learned Counsel) nothing to do but to amuse him-
self, though in the present instance he had extended
his amusement beyond what the convenience of the
plaintiff, or the law, could warrant. He was well
acquainted with the plaintiff, and though there was a
wide difference between their. respective stations in
life, they were upon terms of familiarity and friend-
ship. On the ith of July last they were out fishing,
and rain coming on drove both plaintiff and defendant,
as well as several other persons, to a public-house
called the Red Lion, at a place called Lockwood.
More they remained some hours, and it seemed that
some at least of the party, and the defendant amongst
the number, got both merry and mellow. Somebody's
legs were tied to the table, but singularly enough none of
the witnesses knew whose legs. However from some
cause or other, which nobody seemed to know, and
which nobody would explain if they could, the de-
fendant suddenly fell upon the plaintiff and struck •
him several violent blows. He was both younger and
stouter than the defendant, and no resistance was
made, nor was any very serious damage done.
Mr. DUNDAS, for the defendant, contended that
there was provocation, and though nobody would say
whose legs were tied to the table, or who tied them,
he thought the Jury would infer pretty accurately
how the matter stood. He could not deny that an
assault had been committed, and he admitted that the
plaintiff must have a verdict ; the only question was,
what damages they would give, and he submitted to
them that a very small amount would fully satisfy the
justice of a case which ought never to have been
brought to this place, as it might have been settled at
a small expense before a Magistrate.
The Jury consulted together for a few minutes, and
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 101.

THE ROYAL GEORGE YACHT.
This beautiful model of a man-of-war vessel is
undergoing a complete renovation, and a number of
hands are employed, without intermission, to have her
finished for the reception of her Majesty. Dr. Reid,
the inventor, of the most approved mode of ventilation,
was on board yesterday and to-day, personally super-
intending the laying atpipes for the free ventilation of
the vessel. The Royal bed has been removed to Lon-
don' and a new one, expressly made for her Majesty,
will be substituted. The interior of the state cabin is
superb, beautifully carved in the more prominent
parts, and richly gilt, having a most pleasing effect.
It is lighted by five windows in the stern and two on
each side of smaller dimensions, of the finest plate-
glass. Round the whole of the interior are placed
ottomans and sofas, the latter convertible into beds,
and by richly gilt rods, appearing at first as
supports for picture-frames, curtains of the most
graceful drapery are made to surround them. Near
the stern windows is a beautiful brass stove of a most
elegant pattern, in the form of a handsome covered
vase, the smoke descending behind the grate, and
finding egress at some distant part of the vessel. The
recesses are neatly fitted with shelves for bookcases.
The floor is covered with rich Brussels carpet of a
very chaste pattern, and in the centre stands a splen-
didly-finished round mahogany table. The Revel
bed-room is in keeping with the rich appearance of the
state cabin, the floor covered with the same Brussels
carpet, and very light and airy in its form, and in
every respect adapted for the comfort of her Majesty
during the voyage. It is entered from the
right of the state cabin by a spacious door, in
character with the dimensions of all the other
partsthis
of model of elegant ship-building. The
dining-room is also very handsome, hut not so
highly ornamented as the other cabin, and conveys
an idea of the comforts which a small select
party of Royal and noble guests could enjoy while
gliding along on the surface of the seas that surround
our beloved island. The panels of the doors of the
State cabin are fitted with mirrors ; but her Majesty's
excellent taste and judgment appears to dislike them,
and they have been ordered to be covered, so that the
privacy of the state cabin will 14 preserved, and not
have every movement of the forms of the occupants
presented to the eye in all quarters. The deck of the
vessel is kept beautiful and clean, and being filed in
the seams with a white yet permanently hard compo-
sition, will not soil the most delicate shoe. At pre-
sent, while the work of renovation is going on, the
deck is covered with canvass. The binnacle compass
is covered in in the form of a lantern, and surmouuted
by a Royal crown. On the exterior of the stern is a
beautifully carved Royal arms, richly gilt; and alto-
gether the Royal George yacht is a vessel of which
we have reason to be proud ; and it is to be hoped her
Majesty will be so delighted with her voyage as,to
order this fine pleasure vessel to be kept at Woolwich
for her Majesty's use.
