THE NEWSPAPER. 



fro tr the Uw of Alsace, as those Kentlemeii had laid it down. 



It would however be necessary for the Jury to decide whe- 

 ther the cession was a real, actual, and bond fide transaction, 

 as the sincerity and integrity of it was necessary to make it 

 valid in any view; for if it only occurred in form and in name, 

 and was not intended to bind the rights of the parties, it never 

 could in any court be treated as really having that effect. 

 Whereas if the cession was perfect by the intention of the 

 pp.rties and the operation of law, the son became by 

 that act the owner of the property which had been confis- 

 cated by the revolutionary government, and for which he 

 now sought compensation. His lordship then referred to the 

 treaty under which compensation was provided for pro- 

 perty unduly confiscated, and said if the crown lawyers 

 had intended to rely upon the legality of the decree of 

 confiscation, they ought to have pleaded it specially, and 

 shown what were the acts which rendered emigration criminal, 

 and which brought the case of the claimant therefore within the 

 operation of the decree. As this had not been done it seemed 

 to the Court that the Baron de Bode was not bound to contro. 

 vert that matter, as it had not been placed upon the record as 

 a subject upon which reliance was to be placed. His Lordship 

 then proceeded to the treaty of commerce of 1786, which he 

 stated to be, in the opinion of the Court, inapplicable to the 

 case. With regard to the point of the plaintiffs having pre- 

 sented his claim within due time it appeared to have been con- 

 ceded. As to the fact of the name not being upon the register 

 the same observation applied; and the question of value ap- 

 peared not to have given rise to any discussion at all. Upon the 

 whole case the first question for the jury to decide was whether 

 the property in question by the joint effect of the investiture and 

 cession became vested in the present Baron de Bode in 1791. 

 The second was whether the property had been the subject of 

 undue confiscation in the manner which had been stated. About 

 the value of the property there seemed to be no doubt; and the 

 questions which he had already stated were the only ones to 

 which the jury had occasion to direct their attention. The 

 Solicitor-General here interposed, and said that it was alleged, 

 on the part of the petitioner, that in 1818, pending the 

 discussions between the Governments of England and 

 France upon the subject, the fund was augmented for the 

 express purpose of providing for the claim of the peti- 

 tioner. Lord Denman then left that question to the jury, stating 

 that the averment upon the subject was in the petition, and not 

 in the inquisition, and that he supposed that the present inquiry 

 ought strictly to be confined to such allegations as were con- 

 tamed in both. There certainly was no specific evidence in the 

 case that any sum had been set apart for that express purpose, 

 but the probable intention of the assertion was only that the pe- 

 titioners had a general right to participate in the fund which 

 had been allocated for all the claimants. The issues which arose 

 upon the pleas that the causes of petition had not accrued 

 within six years, or within Her Majesty's reign, must be found 

 for the Crown.— The Jury then retired, and after an absence of 

 about an hour, they found specially that the ,# cession" so fre- 

 quently referred to had taken place, and that it was valid for the 

 purpose of effecting its object, which was that of transferring the 

 estate of Soultz from the late Baron to the present claimant. 

 The two issues upon the limitations they found for the Crown, 

 and found also that no evidence had been given that any sum 

 had been "expressly " set apart for the payment of the claim. — 

 Mr. Hill then moved that the last finding be not entered upon 

 the record, as it was not in issue.— The Solicitor-General op- 

 posed the motion. — Lord Denman referred to the paper contain- 

 ing a written statement of the matters upon which it had been 

 agreed by the Court to take the opinion of the Jury, amongst 

 which matters the matter in question was not. All the matters 

 contained in that paper had been found. It was ultimately 

 agreed that the verdict should be entered according to the notes 

 of the Judge. There was no finding upon the question of value, 

 but Mr. Wadriington observed that the Crown would make no 

 difficulty upon that head. The Jury were then discharged, after 

 being thanked by Lord Denman for their patient attention. 



Court of Exchkqi/kr.— Wood v. Leadbitter.— This was an 

 action for an assault, in forcibly expelling the plaintiff from 

 the Grand Stand at the last Doncaster races. The defendant, 

 amongst other things, pleaded that he was the servant of the 

 Earl of Eglinton; that the close on which the plaintiff had 

 entered, was the close of Lord Eglinton j that by command 

 of his lordship, the defendant ordered the plaintiff to quit the 

 close; and that upon the plaintiffs refusal, the defendant laid 

 hands upon him and expelled him, using no more force than 

 was necessary. To this plea, the plaintiff replied that he was 

 in the close in question, at the time the assault was committed, 

 by the licence of Lord Eglinton, upon which issue was joined. 

 The case on behalf of the plaintiff was, that he had purchased at 

 the regular office a ticket for the Grand Stand at Doncaster, for 

 which he paid a guinea, and which was to have secured him 

 admission to the Grand Stand during the races. That on the 

 first day of the races, upon presentation of his ticket, he was 

 admitted to the Grand Stand, but shortly after the defendant 

 accosted him, told him he had positive orders to eject him, and 

 upon the plaintiff s declining to go out the defendant seized him 

 by the collar, and by the force of defendant and others assisting 

 him, was hustled off the stand. The defence was that the stew- 

 ards were resolved to exclude from the betting-ring all defaulters. 

 The plaintiff was not only a defaulter, but a swindler and a 

 cheat. He had been excluded from the Liverpool and Good- 

 wood races, and Lord Eglinton, upon the suggestion of Lord 

 G. Bentinck, had excluded him from Doncaster races. For the 

 purpose of entrapping persons the plaintiff made bets upon 

 commission. He obtained authority from a person named 

 Hawker to make bets on his behalf. Hawker assented, and 

 the plaintiff sent him several letters containing the particulars 

 f bets made by him on Hawker's account, in reference to the 

 race for the Derby stakes in 1841. The plaintiff informed 

 Hawker that he had made bets for him with Colonel Anson, 

 Mr. Greville, Mr. Payne, Capt. Rous, and other persons, which, 

 in fact, he had never made. The horse against which the bets 

 were made, unfortunately for the plaintiff, and contrary to his 

 expectations, won. He was then obliged to confess to Mr, 

 Hawker that he had deceived him, and that he could not pay 

 him the amouut which Mr. Hawker was entitled to receive if 

 the bets had been genuine. Had the result of the race been 

 diffeient, Mr. Hawker would have had to pay plaintiff between 

 2000/. and 3000/, which plaintiff w#uld have put in his 

 pocket. When Hawker discovered the fraud practised on 

 mm, he appealed to the Jockey Club, and laid the whole 

 case before them. They cited Wood to appear before them, but 

 ne aeclmed to come. After this, it was thought Wood was an 

 3fn V* r *°? to associate with honest men, and he was 

 accordingly excluded from Liverpool, Goodwood, and Doncaster.

PoLtCK.-Thc Poiioning Case at Sf*/m*,/.-Several examina- 

 tions have taken place during the last fortnight at the Thames 

 Police Court, in reference to the mysterious death of Mrs. Rachel 

 Belaney and the conduct of her husband. On Wednesday the 

 magistrates remanded Mr. Belaney for further examination this 

 day, intimating that if he received no further evidence he should 

 then commit him for trial on the capital charge. On Thursday 

 the coroner, who has been holding a concurrent inquiry into the 

 case, held an adjourned inquest, at which the evidence given at 

 the Police-court on Wednesday, was repeated, and cer- 

 tain letters written by Mr. Belaney, were put in and read. The 



coroner, in summing up, dwelt with great force on the statements 

 contained in the letters written by Mr. Belaney, the contents of 

 which, he said, were undoubtedly false, and evidently intended to 

 mislead the relatives and friends of the deceased in the north as 

 to the cause of her death. He also remarked on the fact, that 

 although deceased expired on the morning of Saturday, the 8th 

 inst., and her husband knew she had swallowed the deadly poison, 

 which he admitted he had left in a tumbler in her bedroom, he 

 made no communication of the fact until after tke post mortem 

 examination, when it could be no longer concealed. The case 

 was a most extraordinary and mysterious one, and demanded the 

 most serious consideration of the jury. If they were of opinion 

 that Mr. Belaney placed the tumbler containing the poison in the 

 way of the deceased, with the clear and deliberate inteution of 

 taking away life, although he did not actually administer it, it 

 it would be their duty to return a verdict of wilful murder, and 

 send the case before another tribunal. The case put by the unfor- 

 tunate gentleman himself was, that he had been guilty of M gross 

 neglect" in leaving the prussic acid in the room, without giving 

 his wife any intimation of what the tumbler contained, or cau- 

 tioning her against meddling with it ; and if the jury only took 

 that view of the case, and were of opinion there was gross negli 

 gence on his part in leaving the poison in the room, but without 

 any intention on his part to destroy life, it would amount to man- 

 slaughter, and the law was very clear on that point. If the jury 

 were of opinion that the prussic acid was left in the room without 

 any of that recklessness or incaution which Mr. Belaney's own 

 language implied, they would consider whether it was a case of 

 misadventure. If they were not satisfied on either of these points, 

 they might, in a case involved in so much mystery, return an open 

 verdict, that the deceased met with her death from taking prussic 

 acid (for of that there was not the shadow of a doubt), but how or 

 by what means it was administered there was no evidence before 

 them, and such a verdict would net prevent any other proceedings 

 against Mr. Belaney. The coroner then explained the law at some 

 length, and remarked on the duplicity of which the prisoner had been 

 guilty in writing to his clerk in the north, that his wife was danger- 

 ously ill, and attended by two medical gentlemen, the fact being 

 that her death was quite sudden, and she had not received any 

 medical advice whatever. The neglect of the prisoner in not 

 having recourse to the usual remedies known to every medical 

 practitioner when he discovered his wife had taken the poison, was 

 also a circumstance of strong suspicion ; and the letters he had 

 written seemed to prepare the people in the north for that dread- 

 ful event which really happened. He particularly called the 

 attention of the jury to a letter written on the day of Mis. Be- 

 laney's death, which stated that she was dangerously ill. The 

 prisoner had penned a wilful and deliberate falsehood in the letter 

 of the 8th of June; and the one dated the 9th, which communi- 

 cated the news of her death, made no mention of her having 

 taken prussic acid, and he believed it would never have been 

 known that she had met her death in this manner, if he had not 

 ordered a post mortem examination of the body. The jury re- 

 turned a unanimous verdict of wilful murder against James Cock- 

 burn Belaney; and the coroner then issued a warrant for his 

 committal to Newgate, and bound over the witnesses, 16 in 

 number, to give evidence at the next session.— It may here he 

 mentioned that the mother of the deceased lady, from whom the 

 prisoner expected to inherit some property, died about two years 

 since in a sudden and mysterious manner, and that her body has 

 been exhumed for medical examination. It is supposed to be in 

 reference to this case that the police magistrate on Wednesday 

 intimated that there would probably be a second case against the 

 prisoner. 



SPORTING. = 



The Derby.— A meeting of the Jockey Club was held on Satur- 

 day, and was attended by the Right Hon. G. S. Byng, and the 

 Earl of Stradbroke, stewards $ Hon. Colonel Anson, Earl of Ches- 

 terfield, C. C. Greville, Esq.; General Grosvenor, T. Houldsworth, 

 Esq. ; Colonel Peel, Earl of Rosslyn, J. V. Shelley, Esq. ; W. S. 

 Stanley, Esq.; and J. R. Udny, Esq. The meeting having as- 

 sembled to consider the question of the age of the horse Leander, 

 and having heard evidence, were fully satisfied that Leander was 

 four years old when he ran for the Derby, and therefore resolved — 

 1. That Messrs. Lichtwald, the owners of Leander, shall be for 

 ever disqualified for entering or running any horse in their own 

 name, or in the name of any other person, at any race where the 

 rules and regulations of the Jockey Club are recognised* 2. That 

 Mr. Ley, whose horse ran second for a Two yrs-old Stake at Ascot, 

 in 1843, when Leander came in first, is entitled to those stakes. 

 Several of the members who were present at the above meeting 

 attended again on Monday, the 24th, when it was resolved that the 

 evidence should be printed, and that no opinion should at present 

 be expressed as to the trainer in this matter.
