place of honour until the commencement of the Craven
Meeting, when he was dethroned by Idas, and The Libel's
success at Chester made him succumb to that horse also.
Mr. Greville and his party still stick to him, and his being
matched against Old England for 500 sovs. wi,uld infer that
their confidence was not impaired. He has been trained by
Dilly, at Littleton, near Winchester, until the beginning of
March, when fur some reason he was sent to Newmarket,
where he still remains. Mr. Forth, from his great experience
as a trainer, always has some horse in his lot well supported,
and this year the public seem to think the best to be Doleful,
but whether he is the real Simon Pure I am
not prepared to say, as it is about as difficult a
task to discover what is going on in the Mitchel-grove
stable as it is to learn when the national debt will be paid
off. Many of my readers will no doubt recollect the Derby
of 1840. The public and Mr. Forth (ostensibly) backed the
Solace colt, while, in reality, all the veteran trainer's money
was on the Little Wonder, who, to the wonder of every one
except his backers, won easily. Doleful is by Slane, out of
Frederica, and to his blood nobody can object. Slane, it
will be remembered, is by Royal Oak, and highly distin-
guished himself as a racer, winning, amongst other valuable
stakes, the Waterloo Shield, at Goodwood. Frederica is the
dam of Cobham and other good horses. He has never yet
started. He will, I vouch, be brought to the post in better
condition than any horse in the race, and exceedingly
well ',ridden by Bell, with whose merits as the
jockey of Foig-a-Ballagh every body is :acquainted.
I now come to the outside division, as they may be termed,
from nothing less than 40 to 1 being offered against them.
I shall commence this lot with Clear-the-way. This horse,
by some very clever management of the Irish forces, actually
reached 15 to 1 in the betting; but this stratagem was so
quickly discovered, that he soon retrograded, and was pep-
pered so unmercifully by the great guns of the ring, that he
got back to his old place, 40 to 1. He is got by the cele-
brated Harkaway, out of Taglioni, a mare well-known on
the Irish turf. His doings are very moderate, having only
started three times as a two-years old at the Curragh, where
he was beaten twice by Old Ireland. He subsequently, how-
ever, won the Paget Stakes, beating Singaway, the Conquest
colt, and Vortex. But of this feat I think very little. Clear-
the-way is trained by Mr. Irwin's private trainer, Murray, and
will if he goes, which is rather doubtful, be ridden by young
Murphy, the rider of Retriever in all his races. Mr. Cole-
man's Young Eclipse will, I think, turn out to be as good as
his Jamal, about which there was so much mystery and talk
the year before last. He is by Elis out of mystery and talk
the year before last. He is by Elis out of Corrigie Bagh,
has never started but once, and then got well beaten by Old
England and Pantasa—l mean for the New Stake at Ascot.
He has been extensively patronised by that class of specula-
tors, whose five and ten pound notes annually swell to a
great extent the pockets of the bookmakers. Until within
the last week he has been trained by Coleman, but has now
been transferred to Kent, at Goodwood, to see what that
skilful artiste can make of him. Yesterday, at Tattersall's,
I saw a great disposition to back him at 100 to 1. He will
be ridden, most likely, by young Coleman.
Lord Glasgow has in the race, it will be scarcely credited,
something very nearly appreaching to a racehorse—l mean
the colt by Bay Middleton out of Miss Whip. But with hie
Lordship's usual luck this colt, although he started four
times last year, could only contrive to win once, when he beat
Hersey at the Houghton Meeting, giving her 3lbs. He has
not started this year, but I understand he is much im-
proved, and likely to run honestly. The races in which he
was beaten last year were the Ham, at Goodwood, the
Criterion, at Newmarket, and a match with Pain, at Don-
caster. Holmes will, I fancy, ride him. The Ironmaster
by Bran, out of the Prime Warden's dam, whose right to
start will, in all probability, be determined this afternoon, is
a very fine colt, the property of Mr. Hill, the owner of The
Libel. He has only started once at the Chester October
Meeting, where he won the Mostyn Stakes in a canter,
beating Master Stepney, Alvanley, Miracle, and colt by
Lord Stafford. He has recently been removed, I under-
stand, from his old training ground to Goodwood. Should
he be allowed to start I think he will be a much better
favourite.
Lord Verulam's Maynooth, by Sir Hercules, out of Chris-
tina, has only once made his appearance in public, when at
the Newmarket First Spring he wen a sweepstakes across
the Flat, beating Tunic and colt by Grand Duke, out of Miss
Julia. He is engaged at Gorhambury to-morrow, and,
should he win, will of course assume a higher place in the
betting.
Columbus, Adonis, Mentor, and Newsmonger have never
started. Colonel Peel's colt, by Slane, out of Cobweb, started
once last year at Goodwood for the Ham Stakes, and was
beaten by Winchilsea, who beat him again this year easily
for the Riddlesworth. He was backed for a good deal of
money in the winter, but has now gone quite out of favour.
I should hardly think he would go.
I consider Jinglepot to be one of the best outsiders in the
race. He started three times last year, and won twice. Pan-
tasa beat him for the Mersey Stakes at Liverpool, to which
defeat I consider his beating Sir Henry, The Helmsman,
Pythia, Punjaub, Extravaganza, and filly by Muley Moloch,
out of Young Marv, at Richmond, and at Northallerton Co-
mical Boy, Alice Gray, Pluto, and filly by Sheet Anchor, out
of Valerian, a quite sufficient set-off.
His merits, I imagine, will be tried with Pagan, by no
means a bad trial horse. They lay 50 to 1 against him now,
but will not do so, I think, at starting. Templeman will
have charge of him in the race. Mr. Lintott's Cabin Boy
has a small party, who are not often wrong, and who stick
to him with a pertinacity and devotion worthy of a better
cause. lle started three times last year without success, on
account of his not being sufficiently prepared, at least so his
friends' assert. And, this year, with sst. 41b., and 81b. extra,
he was defeatedby Sweatmeat for the Somerset Stakes. Im-
mense sums have been laid against this horse, and should he
win, some of the bookmakers will look very queer. It should
be borne in mind that horses quite as bad favourites as Cabin
Boy have won the Derby before now, and I cannot imagine
why, if he is so bad as some represent him to be, his party
should still remain by him. They were not far out when
they selected Gorhambury to stand upon in Cotherstone's
year. Cabin Boy is trained by Roe, at Crawley.
The Metropolitan Goodwood, as the Gorhambury Meeting
has not been inaptly termed, commences to-morrow, and will
afford five races each day. The vicinity of Gorhambury to
London, the beauty of the park in which the races are held,
and the excellent management which characterises them, all
tend to make this a delightful place of resort. To the Gor-
hambury Stakes there are 04 subscriber and 18 acceptances.
Had not Godfrey been running at Eglinton Park last week,
I should have fancied his chance by no means a bad one ;
but I am afraid iris two races there, in one of which he beat
Aristirles, and in the other was beaten by him, will prevent
his showing here. Millipede is very well in, and should
run well, as likewise Philip. The Queen of Tyne
would prefer the distance to be half-a-mile shorter
and the weight will tell against Best Bower.
Fitzallen will, of course, have friends ; but, after
the Chester defeats, will, I opine, be rather too sore to
run forward. lam prepared therefore to see either Millepede
or Philip win this race, with the Christina filly close to them.
Mr. Dawson with Crim-con will be first or second for the
Pre; Stakes. The Brigade Stakes, in all probability, will go
either to Captain Oliver or Mr. Willan. I say this, because
they are by far the best jockies qualified to ride in this race.
Lord Verulam's Christina colt, with 41b. extra, will in the
Double-headed Oak Stakes meet Fitzallen and a good field,
and beat them. Lord G. Bentinck's Cherokee will have no
difficulty after his winnings at Northampton to put the
Park Stakes into the pocket of his noble owner—at least, such
is the opinion of TELEGRAPH.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS, May 19.
The House sat to-day to hear the further arguments in the
part-heard case of " Viscount Dungannon v. Smith. " which
our readers will recollect is an appeal from Ireland, in which
their Lordships, after hearing the arguments, considered it
necessary to call in the assistance of the Judges, in order that
the question, which is one of importance in conveyancing,
and relating to the construction of the will of the first
Lord Dungannon, might be argued before them, by
one counsel on each side. The Peers in attendance were
the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham.
Lord Campbell, Lord Wrottesley, Lord Kenyon, and the
Earl of Huntingdon; and the Judges were the Lord Chief
Justice Tindal. Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Rolfe, Mr.
Baron Platt, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Creswell, Mr.
Justice Erle' '
Mr. Justice Coltman Mr. Justice Coleridge,
Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Malik, and Mr. Justice
Wighttnan.
The address of Mr. HODGSON, on behalf of the appellants,
occupied their Lordships the whole morning.
Upon their Lordships assembling this morning,
The LORD CHANCELLOR requested that their Lordships
would allow him to make an apology for the ab-
sence of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. That Noble
Duke considered it to be his duty, when her Majesty's
Judges were present, to be in attendance upon their Lord-
ships; but as he was nearly connected with one of the par-
ties interested in the case, he thought it would be mere de-
corous to absent himself.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
BURGLARY.—Richard Freeman, a carpenter, was charged
with breaking and entering the house of Mr. Ragell, living at
45, Bedford-street, Commercial-road, on the night of Easter
Monday last, and with stealing various articles of the value
of SL, and Eliza Mitchell was charged with feloniously re-
ceiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen.
It appeared that the prosecutor and his family left the
house for a few hours on the night in question, and, on their
return, found that it had been entered, that many of the doors
had been broken open, and a coat, a pair of trowsera, three
waistcoats, a shawl, two silk handkerchiefs, a ring, and other
articles stolen. The prisoners were appreherided a week after the
robbery at 7, John's-place, Bedford-square, Stepney, about
100 yards from Mr Ragell's residence, and several articles
which the prosecutor identified as his property, were found
together with the key of his parlous door, and a bunch of
skeleton keys. The shawl was also found. The coat was
sold by the prisoner to a slop-seller in Ratcliffe-highway,
and the waistcoat and the silk handkerchiefs were pledged
at a pawnbroker's in the neighbourhood, by a person who
gave the name of John's, but whom the pawnbroker could
not identify as the male prisoner. A silk handkerchief be-
longing to the prosecutor was found in his coat pocket. The
landlady of the house where the prisoners were living to-
ether as man and wife, deposed to the male prisoner bring-
ing home a quantity of articles on the evening of Easter
Monday, together with a bottle containing gin, and a cake,
with which he was very liberal. A bottle of gin and
a cake were amongst the things stolen.- The ring,
which was found in the possession of the female, was also
identified by the wife of the prosecutor. The woman said
that both it, the shawl, and some other articles, were given
to her by the male prisoner. There was no evidence to
show that the prisoners committed the burglary.
Mr. ROBINSON addressed the jury on behalf of Freeman,
and admitted that a great deal of criminality attached to
him, and that the articles were found in his possession ; but
as he had unfortunately fallen into the company of persons
of bad character, and as other persons lived in the house in
which he was arrested, it was possible that they might
have fairly come into his possession.
The jury found both Guilty.
There were similar charges against the prisoners, but they
were not entered into. Both were unknown to the officers.
The RECORDER sentenced Freeman to be transported for
ten, and Mitchell for seven years.
AN IRISH ROW AND ITS RESULT. —Mary Sullivan, A
tall, thin Irish woman, with a black eye, was indicted for
feloniously cutting and wounding William Sheehan , with
intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.
It appeared that between ten and eleven o'clock, on the
night of the 12th of May, there was a desperate row in
Ilorace-street, Marylebone. The prisoner's husband and her
brother, and the prosecutor and his brother, were the belli-
gerents. Whilst they were all lying on the ground, the pro-
secutor on, the top of the prisoner's husband, the prisoner
came up, and stabbed Sheehan in the forehead with a table-
knife, which bled profusely. The knife was aimed at his eye,
and it was next to a miracle that it was not destroyed.
When he said he would give her into custody, she threw the
knife away.
Mr. PAYNE considered that the woman was labouring under
great excitement at the time of the occurrence, and seeing
two men attacking her husband, ran out of her home, igno-
rant at the time that she had a knife in her hand—an opinion
which was strengthened by the fact that she threw the knife
away on her attention being called to it. The whole of the
parties were to blame, and the fact of their fighting at so
late an hour of the night showed that they were desperate
