The following version of the case in reference to a gambling debt, commented upon in onr last iasnp, has been given to us by' a gentleman' who wa.s well (•acquainted with all the facts. At tbi> last Au fcumn Race Meeting, White and, Hawkes wood each- hnxl.a do.nble,, and they agreed to save £25. "White's .double won, and hereceived'£loofrom'Blaikio. Hawkeswood then asked White for hi* £25, but White said he had not trot the money to pay him. Hawkeswood owed Joe Gallagher aud Jimmy Poole £25 for wagers, but niade : the payment contingent upon ree'eiviug' his money from White. Gallagher and Poole', to dave a disagreement, nccepted •White's bill for :Hawkeswood for the amount. Joe Gallagher received the bill on behalf of Poole und him- ;; self from Hawkeswood. Gallagher had no wager with i White .at the meeting, and was not mixed wp with him hi any way, except in the matter of tLis bill, whichhe accepted as a convenience to Hawkeswood.
