There was a specific charge in respect of some races that Sir G. Chetwynd started horses intending them not to win, in order to get a more favourabic hanhcapping in other races. George Chetwynd had answered interrogatories, and since the month of May, 188, these had been in the hands of Lord Durham and his advisers, and it was with a full knowledge of then that the defendant now attempted to justify his speech, Lord Durham's advisers had now had inspection of Sir George Chetwynd's belting book, and had taken copies of it, and they had also seen his bank book. The first charge was that at the Lincolnshire Handicap on March 23, 1887, Sir George Chetwynd, did not back his horse to win. The fact was that, unfortunately for Sir George Chetwynd, he backed the horse for £742 10s. to win. He obtained odds against the horse amounting to to,495 against his £742 101. Seme of his friends stood in with min his bets, and the result was that his own

Sir H. James then answered the allegations seriatim, and said :-In the 23d paragraph the charge of cognizance with malpractices would seem to apply to Lord Lurgan, Sir George Arthur, Mr. Hamronond, General Owen Williams and other owners. Did his learned friend intend to withdraw that charge?

ride ns a licensed jockey. Wood at that time owned five horses, and he communicated that fact to Mr. Weatherly. His wish was that these horses should remain in Sherrard's stables. Up to that time it was perfectly legitimate for Wood to open horses; but when the order issued he was bound to obey it. He (Wood) wished to lease these five borses to Sir G. Chetwynd; and he thought that to be consistent with the outer. He pressed Sir G. Chetwynd to take over the horses; but it not being found consistent with the order that Wood should remain the owner of the horses, Sir G. Chetwynd bought them from Wood, and he had paid him every far thing-£1,200--for them. I was true-and sir G. Chetwynd wished no conceniment of this fact-that this payment was, owing to his being at the time pressed for money, postponed. But the money had since been paid, every farthing" of it; and, with the exception of the postponement of the payment for a time, the price was paid according to the value of the horses. He had now endeavoured to give the outline of the answer which Sir G. Chetwynd had lang wished to make

Having possibly acquired the opinion that the existing texts and disqualifications were not aufficient to prevent barristers from crowding the profession, the Hoard in 1987 erected additional barriers. They placed an additional excise en the local production of recruits for the "higher branch" of the Devil's own Brigade. First it was made a condition that three years should in any case elapse between the first and final exa- minations, and to that was superadded the condi tion that even literary work should be abandoned during the twelve months preceding the "call" What good to anyone except barristers in prac- tice these merciless rules could do no one has. has been secured, for the examination standard remains as formerly.

of owners to be a direct encouragement to malpractices on the part of jockeys. What an example it is to young jockeys and appren- tices eager to get on in their profession to see owners of all ranks and degrees employing a jockey whom these very boys have acen pulling homes in races in which they have been riding, If we blame owners for putting up certain jockeys of ill repute to win them races, what are we to say of owners who employ them to win them money. There is a considerable difference in my mind between winning races and money on the turf. The former is a manly, exciting sport of emulation and rivalry, the latter too often an ignable struggle to outwit other people. There is a well-known and what the sporting Press calls a fashionable and aristo- cratic racing stable that has been conspicuous throughout the racing season for their constant and inexplicable in and out running of horses. Their running has surprised and disgusted the public besides losing them their money, it has driven the handicapper to his wit's end to dis. cover the true form of the horses he has to

true lovers of the sport of horse racing) ・・ ply But the darkest part of the matter is this-that the owners or nominal owners of the horses to which I am alluding win large stakes when their horses are successful, but do not lose much when they are beaten. If you wish to purify the turf you must go to the fountain head. The Jockey Club members, with scarcely one excep tion, are honourable, straight-forward gentlemen, I dm certain that it is as much a matter of regret to all of them as it is to me that some men equal to us in social position and in racing influence have failed to maintain the fair reputation of the The higher a man's position on | turf,

If we find that such a man or men continue with impunity to break the rules. of racing law and the code of honour amongst gentlemen, let us treat them they deserve to be treated, as unfit to mix with us and associate with us in the sport we love, otherwise we give too good grounds to the opponents of racing who assert that we fail to maintain the standard below which any sport must stand condemned as pernicious and destructive to the morals of the nation,"

The defendant in his statement of defence alleged that the words complained of were true in substance and in fact. In pursuance of an order of Master Butter's, the defendant, on April 18, 1838, delivered "particulars of justification " These were to the ffect that the jockey referred to as suspected or known to be guilty of palling horses is Charles Wood, who was formerly the principal jockey riding for Sherrard's stables at Newmarket. Several horses are named as conspicuous for their constant and inexplicable in-and-out running through 1887, and it is alleged they were not fairly ridden. The plaintiff is said, upon every occasion when these horses ran, to have won large sums of mancy, but lost very small sums or none at all when they were beaten. He is stated to have employed Chrles Wood because he could square other jockeys. A con. nection is then traced between the plaintiff, Woad and a person named Levis. He is alleged to have represented Sherrard the trainer to be an owner, while this was not the case, Wood being owner, and failing to register bis interest in the borers with the racing authorities. That he intended that his horse Fullerton should not win certain races with the view of inducing the handicapper to handicap the horse on more favourable terms in subsequent races, and did not back his horses to win as he was not intended to win. The result of this was that the horses, being handicapped, won, and the plaintiff, who bad backed his horse for large sums, won as well as Wood.

Sir Henry James, Q.C., Mr. Pollard, Mr. A. T. Lawrence, and Mr. Isaacs, instructed by Mr. A. E., Sydney, appeared for the plaintiff in the action, Sir George Chetwynd; Sir Charles Russell, QC, Mr. C. Mathews, and Mr. Magniac, instructed by Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, repre- sented the Earl of Durham.

Sir C. Chetwynd was called immediately after the adjournment for lunch and examined by Sir H. James. He stated his relationship with Wood and went into details over the various races, and was taken through the various charges contained in the particulars, all of which he denied or explained.

Sir H. James read a summary of bets in the races in which Sir G. Chetwynd had put money on horses for Charles Wood. After further cross examination the case was adjourned until the next day, June 11th, at i am.",

Sir H. James said that the meaning of that was that the charge remained that Lord Lurgan, Sir George Afthur, Sherrard, and others were charged with cognizance with the unfair running of their horses. If those owners, were charged with being parties in an unfair transaction, why were they not properly charged before the stewards of the Jockey Club, and thus allowed an opportunity of meeting the accusations which were involved in that paragraph of the parti culars ? What could have been the object of Sir G. Chetwynd in concurring, as he was charged with doing, with these malpractices. The horses did not belong to him; he had no reason to follow or back them. Why should he bark General Owen Williams's Shimmer, or General Owen Williams's Success. The charge made at York, and most of the subsequent (By More or Less.

Sir H. James, in opening the case, said that it came before the arbitrators by way of reference in the libel action brought by Sir George Chetwynd against the Earl of Durham. In that action complaint was made by Sir G. Chetwynd, of certain words spoken by Lord Durham on December 13th, 1887, in a speech made by him at a dinner of the Gimcrack Club at York. In his aptech Lord Durham did not mention the persons by name against whom he preferred the charges, but there was no doubt of his intention to attack particular persons and the plaintiff was covered by the general terms used.. When asked specifically whether he intended to charge Sir George Chetwynd with having acted in a man nex which, if true, would make him unworthy to associate with honourable men, Lord Durham at once took the straightforward coarse of admit- ting that he did refer to Sir G. Chetwynd. For reasons which he would assume were in his own mind perfectly sufficient, Lord Dur ham thought fit to make an attack against a The inauguration of the Giordano Bruno certain stable now admitted to be the stable monument at Rome has given great offence to carried on by a man named Sherrard.
