living nearly fourteen miles from Lawshall, were passing the barn •
of the prosecutor, when the latter observed, with a great oath,
that " he owed Mr. Snell a kindness, for his son had sent him
to prison, and he would pay him off." Not long after this
conversation they parted, and the fire having broken out at
half-past four o'clock, the prisoner was seen by two women
walking fast away from it towards his cottage, and past 'an
orchard. In the evening Ladbroke again fell in with the pri-
soner, and remarked upon the fire, wondering who did it, on
which the prisoner, with great vehemence, said, " B--,-- you,
didn't I tell you I would do for the old ---, After the fire,
the only thing I was afraid of was, lest I might be seen going
away before .I reached the orchard." On the day after the
fire an inquiry was made, and all the witnesses now examined
being interrogated, gave the same evidence, which they now
did, except Ladbroke, who then omitted entirely the conversa-
tion after the fire, a course which he now attempted to justify
by repeating several threats of violence made to him at that in-
vestigation, in the event of his telling all the truth. At that
time the prisoner was not taken up, but the additional declara-
tions coming to light, be was recently apprehended, and com-
mitted to take his trial.

Mr. PRENDERGAST having addressed the jury on behalf of
the prisoner,
The jury, at the close of the summing up, returned a verdict
of Not Guilty.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.—YESTERDAY.
The Goodwood Stakes, the heaviest betting race, and
to racing men the most important event of the week,
rarely draws so full a company as the more valuable
prizes run for on Tuesday and Thursday. The country
people and the pleasure seekers from Brighton, South-
ampton, and other distant localities, usually reserve
themselves for the Cup, hence the attendance this after-
noon was composed chiefly of the visitors located within
a circle of ten miles of the course, to the sporting classes,
of whom the muster is invariably a bumper, and a small
accession by the special train from Nine-elms. The as-
semblage would, no doubt, have been greater but for the
wretched state of the weather. The privileged corner
of the Stand was again occupied by the Goodwood and
Molecomb parties ; there were also present, besides many
other persons of rank, the Marquis of Exeter, Marquis
of Waterford, Marquis of Clanricarde, Earl of Orford,
Earl of Middleton, Earl of Southampton, Earl of Suffield,
Lord and Lady Newport, Lord W. Powlett, Lord Ed-
ward Russell, Lord Adolphus Fitzelarence, Lord Howth,
Lord Foley, Lord John Fitzroy, Count Batthyany,
Baron Austen, Sir George Houston, Sir Henry
Mildmay, Sir William Codrington, Sir Charles
Cockerell, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Honnurable
George Fitzroy, Hon. Henry Forrester, Hon. Frederick
Villiers, Hou. Horace Pitt, Herm. Captain Spencer,
Messrs. Scott, Stonehewer, Sloane, Stanley, John White,
Percy Williams, G. H. Moore, Leslie, John Stanley,
Nevill, Rush, Palmer, Gratwicke awker, Shelley,
011iver, P. Booth, Eaton, Delme, Ratcliffe, Osbaldeston,
Des Veeux, Knatchbull, Brand, Goddard, Ramsbottom,
J. Bayley, &c. &c.
Of the racing this afternoon it is unnecessary to say
much by way of introduction. The engrossing event of
the day was the handicap, for wh ids the field, reduced
by the withdrawals mentioned in .our express from the
course on Tuesday, was confined to 23, less by half a
dozen than was calculated upon at the commencement
of the races. The office of starter devolved upon Lord
George Bentinck, and the race, it is almost superfluous
to observe, was brought to an issue .without those disap-
pointments which so repeatedly occur rat meetings where
the jockeys are not under proper con teol,—the certainty
of being fined for any infraction of the regulations
has so wonderful an effect on those• occasions, that
horses, which, with a weak or incompetent of-
ficial, would be scarcely manage stele, become quiet
as lambs when the noble lord undertakes the
direction of their riders. The rave was a very
hollow thing—Miss Elis, the props rt y of the noble
starter, winning in a canter by at lea st six lengths. The
rain, hich had previously descended without intermis-
sion, partially ceased during the race, but came down
with renewed vigour immediately aft. tr it was decided.
The Queen's Plate created some ii tterest, 'but for the
purposes of speculation was scarcely r mentioned until the
numbers of the starters were put up.
Of these and the other events deck led up to half-past
four o'clock, we subjoin such details as the shortness of
the intervals permitted us to collect.

The start took place exactly at• 7 he time fixed (half=
past two). Aristides, who had beert restive and was led
to the post, jumping off with th lead, followed by-
2Egis, Miss Elis, and a ruek of hots .s, including Board-
ing-school Miss, John o'Gaunt, and. -Naworth ; the Libel
and Pythia also lying in good plat s. At the distance,
Aristides fell behind the two fillie. s, and lEgis went on
with the running to the turn ro u.nd the hill, where
Aristides dropped further into the I alck, and Miss Elis,
passing lEgis, went on with a clear l lead. On re-appear-
ing in sight Miss Elis and /Egis wt Ire in the same posi-
tion, Boarding-school Miss, Gianter is, Pythia and Not-
tingham lying up, Roderick and Lot .h. srio, who had been
in the rear at the earlier part of tl to race, having also
good places. They came thus to the last turn, in making
which Zgis ran against a post, b r ake it short to the
bottom, and. thus lost too much ground to have any
further chance'in the race ; the pot re, fell before Lothario,
but without, as we could learn, teaching or disappoint-
ing him. This accident gave Xis's: Elis a strong lead,
and increasing in every stride she t t ltimately won by at
least six lengths. Lothario took the sec :rind place on lEgis's
diasappeurance, but was followed by Roderick, who
passed him at the distance and mainta a ned his advantage
easily ' • Ajax was fourth, Pythia fifth, and Venus sixth.
