the prisoner, and stated, that on searching him, he found
a bottle of holy-water, and a paper dedicated to the Vir-
gin Mary, imploring her protection and assistance to pro
vent him from committing any offences, particularly
drunkenness. He was quite drunk at the time. The pri-
soner kept bad company.
Prisoner.—Did you expect a man in my station to be
walking with noblemen ? I keep company with any body
who will buy my pencils.—(Renewed laughter.)
The prisoner, in defence, protested his innocence, and
said he had written a true account of the whole affair in
his prayer-book. He attributed his situation to the frail_
ties of human nature, and in conclusion said, " This is a
capital charge against me—but if I am to be executed
for it, I will declare my innocence on my dying bed.
The learned Judge, having summed up the evidence,
The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the pri-
soner.—He immediately dropped on his knees, and
thanked them—but got on his legs again instantly, and
bounded out of the dock with a hearty laugh, in which
every body present joined.

EPSOM RACES—(Concluded,)
The meeting terminated yesterday, after four days' very fair
sport. It must be admitted, however, that the unfavourable tare
of the weather had a very prejudicial effect on the attendance, which
was less numerous than might have been expected, from the unusual
number of races appointed for decision. The following are correct
particulars of yesterday's tacos:
The Oaks Stakes of 60 sow. each, h ft for three yes old fillies, Est
41b. the owner of the second bone to receive 100 son out of the
Stakes. Last mile and half. (77 subs.)
Mr. Stonehewer's fby Bustard, out of Leeway's dam .......
Lord befton's Moucbe
Mr. Benson's Jenny Vertpre
The following also started, but were not placed-141 Jersey's ch
f Charlotte West, Ld Queensberry's Maria, IA Anson's Zillah,
Mr. Benson's Lady Blanche, Duke of Grafton's Brambilla, Mr.
Oreatorex's Citron, Duke of Richmond's Janette, Mr. Sadler's
Design, Mr. Payne's by Bustard, out of Brown Duchess, Lord

Mr. Thornhill's Carmine, 111 r. Ration's Recovery, by Centaur,
(Harriet) Sir 0. Heathcote's by Counts, out of Jane Shore.
The betting fluctuated considerably before starting, the odds
closing thus—. 3 to 1 apt Charlotte West, 7to 2 against Mouche,
4 to 1 apt Brown Duchess, 11 to 1 against Maria, 12 to 1 agst
Zillah, 12 to 1 against Victorine, 20 to 1 apt lady Blanche, 25
to 1 apt Rembilla, 25 to 1 apt Jenny Vertpre, 25 to 1 agatmt
Frederica, and 30, 35, and, In some instances, 40 to 1 against the
winner.

The running wu made by Jenny Vertpre, followed by Zillah.
!douche, Leeway, and Brarnbilla, the mhos beginning to tail oil
very early. Jenny kept up the running with great spirit till within
the distance, but two or three changes had taken place in the mean
time: Brown Duchess was beat at starting, and was soon after tul.
lowed b the crack Yorkshire mare • Maria, Frederica, Citron, Jane
Shore,Janette, and Design, were also beat early, nor did Lord Low.
titer's two make much show in the race ; Charlotte West ran pretty
well for a mile, and that cut it. At the turn Leeway took the third
place, which had been previously occupied by Zillah. who hung upon
Carmine, forced her against a bank, and threw her down, her rider
being much bruised; at this point, too, ;douche seemed to beguile

—Leeway then went up to her, !douche having now gained upon
Brambilla, and coming up to Jenny is the last three strides, just in
time to see Leeway win by two lengths and to beat Jenny by a
neck ; Brambilla ran forth.

The result was as great a surprise as the Derby last year, and
particularly to Mr. Stonehewer, who testified his admiration of Rd-
wards's Ming, by presenting him with five hundred pnunds.—He
also received other presents before he dismounted. immediately
after the race, the mare was christened " Variation," in allusion to
the name of her darn. tiir M. Wood, Mr. Gully, Mr. Justice,
