CHESTER REGATTA

This event took 'Oath, he yea on the afternom of
Thursday, and excited much interest, not only in the
ancient city but in tie district for miles round. There
was a considerable attendance from Liverpool, and, the
weather being splendid, the regatta was of the most ex-
citing and delightful character.
There was a large attendance of ladies, including the
elite of Chester, who seemed highly gratified with the
sports of the thy. Atnongt the distinguished persons
present' was 'Lord Robert Grosveuur, Treasurer of her
Majesty's Household. _ _

The event was marred by one acciJent—and one only—
the upsetting of a boat,in which were four rowers. The
keel turned up, and the poor fel!ows received a son,,d
ducking; but they w-re spec ily tescued, and nothing
worse than a t.upeifluity of Father Mathew's favourite

beverage was their fate.
The following is a correct return of the running :

The prisoner came in and said, I want a parkin- ; I refused
to let it. She came the next day, and took my middle
toom. Next day some furniture came for her; and on
Saturday last the prisoner came. She went out on Tues-
day night last about six o'clock ; and at about ten minutes
to seven o'clock on Wednesday morning she knocked me
up. I opened the door, and found the prisoner with a
donkey cart. some furniture, and some boxes. All the
property was taken into my house. Yesterday. Miss
Burzess and Constable Lloyd came and took the property
away.

Some fouling took place during this race, and at the
conclusion of it Mr. WNlker followed Mr. Aspin4ll into
the boat-house, and, after having stuck him several times,
the parties wer- R.M.rwtori.

The prisoner. who decline to sly anything in her de-
fence, was fully committed for trial. We understand that
a' number of kevi were fotind upon the prisoner, which
leads to the supposition that she has some accomplished
