The fact that the victims may be willing fighters does reduce the concern of the public. Punishment is the only answer." It was difficult to who was guilty in the case and it had not been possible to prove who stabbed Mr Dickinson. It would therefore not be right to vent the wrath of society by passing a custodial sentence on Hull who was one of the few people to plead guilty in the case, said Judge Lowry.

He deferred sentence for a three PAUL BRINDLEY, 23, a bricklayer, of Girlestone Walk, Upper Holloway, who pleaded guilty to a similar charge.

JOCKEY CLUB HAVOC RULE ATTACKED By ROGER HEYWOOD Sports Correspondent INSTINCTIVE riding by leading jockeys, which has often snatched victory out of apparent defeat, could come to an end fol- lowing a ruling by the Jockey Club, Willie Carson, leader in season's jockey's championship, claimed yesterday. Carson had just had a verdict of careless riding at Goodwood upheld by the stewards of the Jockey Club.

He had been banned for, eight days and yesterday stewards added the further penalty of making him forfeit his £130 deposit for the appeal. Carson's was. given by the Goodwood stewards after Air Distingue, a French filly, had caused havoc in a highly-priced race last week. 64 She did cause havoc, but it was not my fault and I was not guilty of, careless riding," said Carson. I hit her once and that is my crime.

Yet the stewards told me she was already banging to the right and there was no room for error. Muscle injury The following day the Ally could not trot. She had a loin muscle injury. That is why she was beginning to hang to the right. I may have made mistakes in the race, but when I hit her on left side I was not intentionally riding carelessly." "All jockeys 66 ride instinctively," he said.

But may not go for the gap because we could be disqualified by the stewards. I know nothing more about rules now than I did before the appeal. Maybe we will pull a horse up rather than risk suspension. All I know is that I did not ride this horse carelessly and it is a severe sentence for hitting a horse once. It was not a frivolous appeal, and I was never in any doubt that I could win it." Carson became the 28th jockey to be suspended this year.

There were 23 suspensions up to the end of July last year and 31 during the same period in 1981.

A statement by Cardinal Hume, Archbishop, of Westminster, Prince's undertaking to bring the children up as Anglicans was the reason why the Pope refused a dispensation for his marriage to the Princess in 1978. But the authorities in Rome had now been satisfied and impressed by the Princess's efforts to convey to her children a genuine love and knowledge 99 of the Catholic faith, the Cardinal said.

Catholic's obligation The Cardinal's statement issued to explain why the Pope had now agreed to validate marriage, which was officially blessed by Mgr Brown in the Cardinal's private chapel at Westminster last week. Mgr Brown, a judge of the Westminster Diocesan Marriage Tribunal, said there was an obligation on the Catholic party in a mixed marriage to do all in their power to give their children love and knowledge of the Catholic faith. The Pope's decision to validate the marriage means that the Princess can now again receive Holy Communion.
