ter, was a false start, and that Le Juif is entitled to the stakes."

of public money in hand, on races to come, and many other
gentlemen had larger sums; the bill, he considered, would
not only stop legitimate betting, but would strike the first
blow at the best interests of the turf. —Lord Palmerston said
that no one was less disposed than himself to interfere with
betting on horse racing. He would confer with the Attorney-
General and see that the time asked for should be granted, so
as to enable all existing transactions to be wound up.
