The- annual show of the Senithfinid Cattle CIA has been 'held- this week at its old quirtem *Baker Street. It was an exhibition "credit- able" to the farmers of England according. to the Duke of Richmond. There were none of those large fat minutia whiCh disgraced' former shows, because more attention is paid now to quality and symmetry and less to mere fat. Prizes were distributed which reached a total of WOOL The show has been well attended by sight-seers. The dinner took place on Thursday, but it produced nothing worth reporting.

• When shall we have the last trial arising out of the crimes of John Sad- lair? On Wednesday and Thursday the Court of Queen's Bench was occu- pied with one. Mr. 'Vincent Scully, ibrmerly Member for Cork County, was the plaintiff, Mr. Herbert Ingram, Member for Boston, was the defendant. The charge was that Mr. Ingram misrepresented himself as purchaser of the Castle Hyde estate, in Cork county, and by so lending himself to the frauds of John Sadleir, that he prejudiced Mr. Scully. The case was very com- plicated, and involved as usual disclosures of the tricks of Sadlear. . Mr. Scully's case was this :, Sadleir bought the Castle Hyde estate for Scully, price 19,4261., but entered himself as purchaser in trust for a Mr. Eyre, Scully's uncle, because it was thought a resale could be effected on better terms if it appeared that the property had been bought for an Englishman. At this time Sadleir owed Scully 9000/., and the latter wanted to get it. Sadleir then represented that he had found a purchaser, Ingram, at a profit of 600/. By this scheme Ingram would have had to pay the purchase-money, and the 90001. debt would have stood over. Scully was now induced to stand for Cork ; he was elected, but having no property in the county he desired to recover the Castle Hyde estate. Unable to get any statement from Sadleir, he went to see Ingram and according to his own account, Ingram agreed at first to sell for 25,0(3W., but afterwards r'fised his terms, as Mrs. Ingram had taken a fancy to the estate. Scully disgusted, retired from the field. In the mean time Sadleir had mortgaged the estate twice over for very large sums. To convince Scully that the estate was resold he sent him the profit —600/., and Scully spent it in his election. The case on the other side is that Ingrain never bought or agreed to buy the estate; but he admitted that Sadleir gave him the option of buying it ; and that he had allowed Scully to draw up in his own house a memorandum of terms of sale from himself to Scully. In a letter addressed to " Mr. V. Scully, M.P." Mr. Ingram says distinctly that Mrs. Ingram was disin- clined to part with the estate before be Saw it. Ingram admitted that he guaranteed Sadleir's liabilities as a director of the Boston railway "to se- cure his patronage of it and name he being then a Lord of the Treasury"; that he was one of ten who becalm security to Sadleir for 90,000l.; and that Sadleir promised him 600/. for so doing, but only gave him 300/. Be would not swear that he had not lent him his acceptance for more than 20,0001. altogether. Such is a brief outline of the case. After much de- bate and after being locked up, the Jury accommodated their differences and returned a verdict for Scully. Deranges $00/.

In another case before this court, Sinclair, a "betting man," brought an action for damages against Captain Shaw, . "a great rider of steeple-chases.' Shaw made a bet with Sinclair, and thinking he had lost it paid on the spot. Afterwards, construing the terms of the wager differently, he was of opinion that he had won. The next time he met Sinclair he assaulted him in "the ring," and the upshot was that Sinclair was handcuffed and taken into cus- tody, at the suggestion, so the police say, of Shaw. The gallant rider of steeple-chases did not appear against his comrade of the ring, and Sinclair was liberated. Hence the action. The evidence was full of discrepancies, and Sinclair's character was not spared. But Mr. Justice Crompton told - the jury not to think of the character of Siuclair, but of the facts. Sinclair might be the worst man that ever lived, but that did not give the right to imprison him. He was entitled to some damages for the assault and the

- October 18,13 and June ..1864 they received a single shilling, except from securities ; they did not receive from Messrs Gregson and CO. up- wards of 150,0000/. on account of the bankrupts two days after they absconded. When Mr. Chapman gave this statement he was shown a letter from Davidson and Gordon, requesting Gregson and Co. to pay over any surplus on copper shipment's to Messrs. Overend and Gurney. This letter, dated on the 17th -October, was nclosed in -wither dated on the 18th October, signed "Overend, Gamey, and CO.," requesting Messrs.

n to band over the balance. Accordingly the 15011/: was received on the 1.9th June 18.54. It Was on the 17th October, said lift. Chapman, that Gorden first stated that he had accepted the topper represented by the war- rants. They traced the copper, and found that he had given Gregson and Co. claims upon it. After the 13th October 1853, the firm discounted 70,000/. worth of bills, in order to enable Davidson aud Gordon to take up . the loan which Overend; Gurney, and Co., had made them on some shells.

"Is it the fact," asked Mr. Linklater, "that after the 13th October 1853, you received on account of new transactions with Cole 19,0001., which went in reduction of the amount owing on the 13th October ? " "That," said Mr. Chapman, " will leach* into explanations. Part of the money was paid to pay for our own speller back again." Parties of whom they had received the money applied for the warrants representing the speller. Colethen said that he could not supply the speller, unless he were paid 15/. a ton, be- cause he had abstracted it and borrowed 151. a tan. They did not pay the money until the Warrants were returned to theiii, and the purchaser of the warrants never became aware that they were of so doubtful a character. "Was not your object," Limb-id Mr. Linkliater, ' in the mode in which you carried out this transaction, to conceal from the purchaser the fact that the warrant; which he held were of a fictitious character ? " "I really must decline to answer that queetion," answered Mr. Chapman; "I only know that the object was to fulfil our contract with the man whose money we had received." He did not know that he had said to Gordon either an the 13th or 17th of October, "r believed you to be an upright man,.I now look upou you only as a thilf." On the 17th he (lid say to Mr. Dots, a broker, "I never will breathe the air with that man again." The deeds of the distil- lery came into their possession from Mr. Cole, who said that he bad lent Davidson and Gordon 120,000/. to work it. Mr. Gurney doubted that dis- posal of so large a sum and said at an interview with Cole "Well, I should like to eee the lease." Mr. Cole replied, "Mr. Gurney, I have no ob)ec- tion." It was sent and it has remained with the firm ever since. Mr. Link- later reverted to an examination before the magistrates on the 17th of May 1855, in which, referring to the 13th of October, Mr. Chapman is reported to have said, that when he asked Gordon whether the warrants represented nothing, "Gordon shook his head, admitting it." Mr. Chapmnan now ad- mitted the report was true, but held it waa not inconsistent with what he had more recently stated. • In the examination of Mr. Cole there was nothing particularly novel, ex- cepting the statement in explanation of the nature of warrant. MultLy, the catensible tenant of Hagen's Sufferance Wharf, ascertained from coun- sel that only the original holder of the warrant could obtain the goods, that , the goods could not be removed, and that the warrants did not represent that the goods lay at a particular wharf. Upon the strength of this legal opinion, /dr. Cole " had availed himself of spelter to the value of 100,0001." for the purpose of raising money "to get control of the distillery." lie also said that the acceptance of Davidson and Gordon to the amount of 120,0001., covering their debt, would not have been accepted by Meows.
