SIXTY YEARS ON THE TURF 



Place at Admiral Rous's house, 13, Berkeley Square, 

 and lasted several hours. After every scrap of 

 evidence had been offered, and threshed out, the 

 Admiral, without leaving his chair, gave his award. 

 " The plaintiff," he said, " on the evidence put 

 before me, clearly asked for all he got. He was the 

 aggressor, and whatever befell him he merited. I 

 give judgment for the defendant, with all costs." 



Mr. Hodgson, on the plea of continued indisposi- 

 tion, did not appear in person at the arbitration 

 proceedings, and when Mr. Thornhill, who was 

 responsible, by reason of the "bargain" of the 

 " tenner," sought to find him for the costs, he 

 proved a very " rare bird." However, after a time 

 — as he was on the point of leaving the country — he 

 was neatly " attached," and had to settle the heavy 

 account before he was liberated.
