BOXING. DROWN AND SAMPSON-FOR FIVE HUNDRED , POUNDS, ON TUESDAY-I% MILES PROM LONDON. On the crown of a sharp hill in the county of Staf ford—called Bishop's Woad , because there is scarcely a dozen trees within a mile of it—forty thousand people assembled on Tuesday, at one, to witness the celebra tion of this fight. The spot was happily chosen to coo/ the warmth of the men and the impatience of the ring, being open to all the winds of Heaven. The Fancy are not to be scolded for selecting so inclement a position; an old sour denizen of Wolverhampton bears all the blame. Through the malice of this person. an offer of 2001. to the charities of the town, and 2001. to each of the combatants, was rejected—and, through him, a handsome sum in cash was lost to the good people of the town itself. Were it only to pay for cleaning the channels of the place, and repairing the pavement, the money might have been of use; indeed a portion of it would have been well bestowed in dry-rubbing our Veduice himself, and a few of his supporters. The interest created by the match in the up-country was greater than we cockneys had any idea of exhibiting. Brommageuf was pitted against Bridge North, and the county of Warwick against Salop. All the cash that could be found was hazarded on the event ; and it is to be feared, comparing the locale of Bridg against Brum, that, by the result, the former is completely ruined— or, in the words of the sing, " cleaned out." His fellow citizens made certain of Brown's winning, and their offers of hundreds to fifties were far more numerous than affirmative responses could be mustered. Since Brown's battle with Shelton he h.rs been looked upon 'as the real Champion of England. He is, in size and appearance, one of the weightiest and finest men iu the kingdom. He was deemed scientific under the tuition of Spring ; he was thought to be game from the specimens he exhibited; and, looking upon him' combining height, weight, activity, and courage, his friends calculated that no man in the ring could have a chance with him. Not so argued Phil Sampson; he had an old quarrel with the Champion, callenoed him before the battle with Shelton, and, undeterred by the result of that event and his own ill fortune with O'Neil the mean time, never ceased pursuing him for a moment, until he got the match made, and secured friends to sup. port him. There is something most John-Bull-like and dogged in Sampson's conduct. Though every body told lie must be beaten, he persevered in fighting ; and he stripped himself of every shilling to complete his stake. He always contended that Brown was overvalued, and confidence of his own success never abandoned him to the last. Even on the morning, when he has been always supposed to show a little nervousness, he was as collected as possible; his hands were cool, his manner temperate and decided. He deserves the same credit for his spirited conduct previous to the battle, as he does for his manliness in the ring. The opinion of all the best judges in London was in favour of Brown. The only public specimen he made was so decidedly with him, that they calculated the man who could beat Shelton in a few minutes, and who had all the other points of the best men in his posses session, was more thin a match for any known compe titor. His right hand was inevitable destruction ; and as to Sampson, compared with him, he was looked upon as a rash impetuous person, who pursued defeat from passion and vindictive feelings. The result has shown hew far short of the truth the best calculators may be, and that no event is safe till it is over. By the articles, the fight was to take pface between Bridgenorth and Birmingham. and the communications from the men stated that either Wolverhampton or Stour bridge would be the ground. There, being in the centre of the mining and pottery countries, and the time being holiday, the crowds which poured from beneath the ground, and from above, was almost beyond belief. On the evening before, and the day of fighting, the whole country vas in motion— eiery vehicle that could be got was hastening for ward, and masses of men, and women too, filled every road. The streets of Wolverhampton were packed by a dense mob, through whom with difficulty a pas sage could be effected. Never was there such a gather ing of uncombed artificers. The riot and confusion at the inns was without parallel. Happy was the man who got a morsel to eat; and thrice happy was he who was favoured with a truckle bed in the attic of the vil lage barber. To add to the annoyances, the race ground of Wolverhampton, where a stand holding twelve hua dred persons was erected, which was at first decided on, was lox through the interference of a foolish old man ; and the crowd, the greater part without conves lances, were compelled, at an hour's notice, to move forward twelve miles to the top of a hill, which, as we before described, was as bleak and com• forties, a station as could well be devised. Here the best arrangements were made by skilful management, and the immense multitude were stowed away in wag. gons in a circle of great extent. A pat t of the space within was allotted to those who had no money for the waggons; and a second rope and stakes confined those sons of nature. The ring itself was perched in the centre of the mount—the stakes, of country manufacture, being limbs of trees, against which, in falling, a man might shatter his head, but which ultimately proved no de fince against the assault of the mob. The bustle and agitation of the country folk was intense; cheers and shrieks—for cheers were momentarily sent up by the partisans of either combatant. Colours and handker-- chiefs were waved in accordance with Brown and Samp- son for ever, and it was only the desire to see the battle' decided by the principals which restrained the friends from coming to a general engagement. At one o'clock, however, the tumult ceased, when Brown, attended by Spring and Richmond, and Samp son, by Holt and Curtis, entered the ring. A shout to crack the sky was sent up for each, and the bumpkins steOdonouth and eye open, intent on further procee4ings. The 'couttast of size between the men was decided, and it was at once deemed impossible that Sampson could baie a chance. • Blown looked fifteen stone, large and clean ? made heavy above and light below, and is rf years of age; while Sampson, though a big one for his weight, of twelve stone and ten pounds, appeatei to disadvantage, from the spareness of, his loins and legs. His age is 27. Still there was a manly confidence about him which gave courage to his. ft ita ds, and several ; bets of twenty to ten were accepted before the set-to commenced. When Sampson came into the ring isis turned his, back to Brown, but Brown followed him, and offered his hand, which the other took without remark.. They then prepared their toilets, and all being ready; the word given —the seconds crossed hands and the men begun THE FIGIIT. Round 1. The amazing superiority of size on the part of Drown was evident to all, bis position also appeared to be good ; he held his handtwell up, and was ready at points, and well made op to return with his all-accomplished right. Sampson stood to-him too to toe, uollinehingly—his hands on his old system, lower this mber fighters venture upon, and his body too far off the centre on prin. rip!e to give him weight—but he knows well what he is adobe, Mid there 111:00swee active getter away, or snore potent twabintled hitter. A minute scarcely pissed In sparring, when Ammo gals Indy bit out, and planted his left and right on Brown's head.-- Blown as quickly returned with his right, and touched his adver. sary's mouth. (Cheers for both, the snore particularly for Samp son, from the spirit he evinced in commencing). Sampson drew first blood, and again tried left and right. Brown was with him, plunging with his sight hand, but Sampson got away to ;he stakes- Then Brown laid hold of I.im and held him up by main strength,. while he punished his head, punching him, while Sampson, unable to return, only struggled to get down. Brown's hand still followed him to the ground, and struck kim heavily on the back of the head as be touched the ground. Many persons looked upon this blow as foul, but Sampson's umpire did not claim it. Had he done so, the battle was dtcided, as there was no question of the fact, though 13113W1i'S intention was no doubt harmless. Sampson, on his second's knees, appeared t feel the effect of this blow, but when he was brought to the scratch, he shook the uneasiness off, and stood bravely to his man. 2. Brown was not sent in as he should have been, and Sampson gained time to recover himself by sparring. Brown at last made play, but he missed, by round hitting, his tremendous right hand. The cautions of Holt to Sampson, to avoid the tight hand, were unceasing. Get away from that, he every instant cried, and you have nothing else to fight against. Sampson did as he was bid, and he measured with his eye, coolly and precisely, the swing of Brown's arm, and almost in every case got out of distance in time to avoid it. Ile then planted his foot up to its place, and making his hits, again retreated, when the pump handle was at work. By this system Brown was entirely thrown out. Ile had only one hit in hint—at the burr of the ear, with the right. Cheat him of that, be is a child in the ring. Let him once plant it, and no bullock can come to time. Sampson made play lightly, when Brown, enraged at missing his blows, ran in, caught him up in his arms, flung hint like a sack, and fell heavily upon him. 3. Though Sampson's tactics were admired, the odds remained steady on Brown; and two to one was offered freely round the ring, and not very freely taken. After a moment's sparring, Samp son tried to trip up the advanced font of Brown, and Brown hitting out at the moment, he overreached himself, and fell on his knees. Spring appealed to the umpires, hut the case did not appear suffi ciently strong to warrant their interference. This short round was in favour of Sampson, as the half minute time between recovered him fully from the effects of the blows in the first. 4. Sampson made play left and right, and made a sensible impres sion on Brown's left eye. Brown failed in planting his return effectively, though occasionally the swing of his arm bru bed Sampson's head. Brown, rather angry, followed his man about, i but Sampson broke away from punishment, never failing to pop in his compliments when the opening came. Brown at last caught him, and tinted with bins, but Sampson gallantly fought him up, land kept the blood Bowing. Brown, not knowing what to be at, rushed him down and fell upon him. 5. Still opinion was with Brown, and the odds maintained their course, but both were shaken in this round on seeing Sampson rush in from the scratch, and knock the giant off his legs with a clean right-banded hit.—The cheering for Sampson was immense, and the confidence of the Brownites began to ooze. 6. Brown rose up very readily, and showed no lack of spirit on coming to his ground, but it was evident that he had suffered— his right ear was cut. the blood flowed from his nose, and there was a 'nuked changed in the character of his head. Sampson puffed a bit, but he and his friends were too well pleased to mind it. If Nature will but support him, tbey cried, he has an equal chance. Betting was even, or perhaps Sampson for choice.— This was a capital round; Brown, on his mettle, fought hard to . win, and Sampson, in spite of all his science, was forced to rally with him. Here Browts must get the best of it, and Phil's friends began to grow blue again. They fought to a close, and then un loosed, Sampson with spirit renewing the rally, and encountering most loving thwacks from the swing of Brown's hand—fortunately he never met the knuckles with his head, had he done so he was done, Ibut luck was with him. Brown in a rage rushed Sampson to the stake, then Sampson fell to the ground, with his back against the stake, and Brown in coming after him, fell on his knees, and struck his forehead, they say, severely against it. Opinion was so divided about the effects of this round, that Brown's friends laid two to one, which Sampson's backers took as a hedge, imagining that they were offered on him. It was equal main anti chance. One good blow on the part of Brown was supposed capable of deciding the battle, and the warmest of Sampson's party scarcely gave him credit for lasting long enough to beat so powerful a frame as his opponent possessed. 7. Brown ran in, sweeping Sampson with him in his arms to the ropes. There he attempted to throw him out of the ring, but Phil got entangled in the ropes, and was held fast. Brown then secured him as in a vice, and pummelled his side with one hand, while he strained him with the other. Sampson only worked to get down, and Holt and Curtis pulled the rope to ease hint. It was a long time before he could get free, and when he did, Holt broke his fall by lying on the ground to receive bins. The activity of Holt as a second was never more beneficially exerted. Sampson was in so helpless a position in this round, that one wonders that Brown did not finish him on the spot; but the big one appeared to be de ficient in knowledge of the ring, and he suffered the only oppor tunity he had of winning to escape him. 8. Sampson, not a little shook by the last round, refused to stand a rally, and broke away, jobbing his man with the left as he ad vanced. He showed hinnelt a finished fighter, and escaped a great deal of well meant punishment. Brown, however, succeeded in planting his right hand more than once; but the force seemed to have left it, and Sampson never gave way from its effects. Sampson was, in the end, rushed down. 9. Sampson fought away left and right, but Brown rather took the lead, and bored hint down again. 10. Brown came up, with his left eye closed, and his face ex hibited sundry marks of Sampson's handy work. Sampson, when washed, really showed a clean front, and nothing bat a red neck, from the swing of Brown's arns, seemed to have affected him.— Brown hit again short and round, closed, and threw his man. 11. Sampson planted his blows left and right, drawing the blood in quantities from Brown's nose, and evidently reducing him. Brown was unable to stop hint, or return any degree of punishment ; and he was bored down, to the great consternation of his countrymen and the delight of Sampson's, who, in good truth, now took hope that Birmingham would be victorious. During this round the impatience of the outer ring could not be restrained, and, after the example set them by a few, the whole multitude of at least ten thousand persons rushed to the ring, and, in despite of all the sticks and whips of the fighting men, broke down the ropes, and enclo•ed the combatants in a space of half a dozen feet square, and which only could be main tained for them by the unceasing struggles of their seconds, the timekeeper, and referee, and a few staunch friends. The scene of confusion was only equalled by that which occurred at Wor cester when Spring fought Langan. It was rather worse here, inasmuch as the temper of the coalpit men was not so placable as your mere rustic ; and further, as the sante swarthy race were mostly all losers by the event. The pressure in the ring was dread ful, and there was no escaping from it, for it was in vain to think of making way through a phalanx of thirty or forty feet deep, all turned to the point from whence you were attempting to escape. The scene became still worse as the fight proceeded, for the Md. pit men, armed with short sticks, used them against the mess who were trying to beat out a little space; and ft was only by the cross ing of their weapons, -imilar to that in an Irish row, that the beads of honest men escaped destruction. It was in vain attempting to keep an account of the battle, and the remaining rounds are given from observation and recollection. 12. The battle had now lasted about twenty.fivit minutes, and the odds were fast changing in Sampson's favour. They would have more rapidly done so. but from the doubt of bis stamina carrying him through the beat and pressure; and i: was calculated that be could not get away front Brown; and that if Brown had a good bit in him he must now plant it. Sampson, all alive, made play and told right and left, defacing the Big Boy's head most cruel. ly. Brown hit short, but succeeded in getting the best of the fall. IZ. Brown acted with resolution, and some manly fighting took ' place to equal advantage. Sampson had the call, as they say in the I Stock Exchange, by getting his man under. 14. Quick and merry fighting on both sides. Sampson planted Ibis right hand, and broke out of the reach of his adversary's.— Brown down. 15. Brown bored in and rushed Sampson down. 16. Sampson let Sy left and right, and made all tell on Brown's bead. Brown Lndeavoured to get his head clear by ducking It from the right hand, but Sampson watched his opportunity, and caught him an up hit with the left, which set his jaws a chattering and spoiled his practice. - 17. Brown getting very weak, and his seconds obliged to resort to ail their precautions to bring bins round. Spring, in carryiug him to the scratch, stood between him and Sampson, who was al ready there, when Sampson, furious at the interruption, strtith Spring out of his way, and knocked Brown over. 18. It was thought that Brown could not come again, and ten to one was now offered against hint, but five to one was actually laid. The ring, bad as it was before, now became a scene of inex plicable confusion. How the fight,waa prolonged k is impossible to say, but the men were. shown fair play, and allowed to finish in a space not a yard square. It Was prolonged for twenty-four rounds more, all being In favour of Simpson, till in the forty-second, Brown went dowajoad Sampson was proclaimed the conqneror s after forty nine minutes quick 41d severe The victor.was burne away on the arms of his party with colours flying and band of music playing, while the beaten man, atter being completely attended to by his seconds, was led• out of the ring supported by Spring and a countryman, his face a dreadful picture, and has shoulder said to be out• He was able, however, to walk with support, and there is no doubt the kini offices of Spring and Richmond will soon rector. him. REMARKS.-This battle affords another.pro..f that the best judges may be out, artd that a pound of science is worth a stone of weight. Nature can teal eel put to gether a better model than Brown, and, if his blows reached, no man could stand against him. He was bekr by nice measurement of time and distance. Did his tight hand go out straight instead of with a half-circle, Sampson could not have got away; but the latter's coolness enabled him to escape the only desperate point of his opponent, and, once able to reduce him by draw ing blood from his head, hemade his own heavy punish ment tell to a dead certainty. Sampson deserves great credit. He did not win by a chance blow, or by one violent effort. He fought all the way an up-hill battle, and only secured it by patience and spirit combined, and the application of repeated and well-timed blows. Large sums of money have changed hands on the event, and the Londoners are generally heavy losers. After the fight both men were removed to a small inn contiguous to the ground. Brown was put to bed and locked after secundum argent, but Sampson, having washed his face and hands, put on his clothes, and joined his friends as gay as any of them, and with as little the appearance of having been fighting. He had not even a scratch on his face, and be seemed not to have suffered in the slightest degree. He was taken by his backers in a coach, drawn by six horses, to Birming ham, where all the honours of war were paid to him last night. The Northern road to London was covered with crowds, all eager to learn the result; the defeat of Brown was every where received with surprise and mortification. A second fight between young Gas and Piefinch was to have taken place, but the affair did not come on. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSIOW-HOUS& Three young men, named Barrett, Robinson, and Brows, were charged with having broken into the house of Mr. NVaylett, of Fish street HilL Mr. Waytett sleeps in Croaked-lane, but be keeps a boy on the premises In Fish-street for security. The boy had been in bed for a considerable time in the shop, when he heard a noise in the parlour; and upon raking his head saw the men moving about. He instantly raised an alarm, the watchmen entered, and the pri soners were found in the privy of the adjoining house, which was empty. In the privy were found a dark lanthorn, a bunch of ske leton keys, and a centre-bit. The writing desk in Air. Waylert's parlour had been turned upside down, evidently for the greater convenience of those who were about to break it open. The pri soners said they went into the empty house to take some rest, ea they were greatly fatigued.—They were remanded. GUILDHALL,. Yesterday a journeyman butcher was brought before C. S. Husivea, Bart. charged with embezzling £2O, the property of his employer, Mrs. Mitchell, a butcher, in St. George's-crescent, Lon doo-road,in whose service he had been only a fortnight. Mrs. Mitchell stated, that on the 28th of March she directed the prisoner to wait upon Mr. Mitchell, the proprietor of a Tottenham stage, when be arrived at two o'clock at the Swan, Snowhill, tell ing him that if he was paid £2O in Bankers' checks, as she ex pected, he was to change them on his return home. Mr. Mitchell gave the prisoner a check on Fry's for £5, another on Curtis's for £l4, and a sovereign ; and allowed him to ride on the top of the stage as far as the Poultry, where he was set down soon after two o'clock. He did not reach the London-road till nearly four o'clock, and then represented that he had been detained an hour at Messrs. Curtis's; that he had wrapped the sovereigns in a piece of brown psi.er, and that he had lost the money in his way home ;---that he supposed the parcel jumped out of his pocket, when he scrambled up behind a coach in the Borough, and that he had not seen any acquaintances since he had been out. Mrs. Mitchell expressed her doubt of the truth of this story, and remarked that the breast pocket, where be said he had placed the parcel, was so deep, and the parcel must have been se heavy, that it was impossible it could work out in the way he represented. The prisoner was perfectly at ease upon the subject, and said " Take me before a Blaginrate ; I must be acquitted; you will discharge me front my place, and that Is the most that can be done with me." Mrs. Mitchell gat e him into the custody of Read, a Union Hall officer, who questioned him, and detected him in several falsehoods ; but could not trace him in the possession of the money after he quitted Lombard-street. Mr. Blasland, a clerk at Messrs. Curtis's. remembered -changing the check, and giving the person a little blue paper bag, and also a piece of brown paper to wrap the sovereigns in. The man Was not detained at the counter hve minutes. Mr. 11. Mitchell proved the payment of the checks to the prisoner. Mr. Homers, juu. fur the prosecution, submitted that there was a sufficient ease fur inquiry in another place, while the prisoner's Solicitor insisted there was nothing to raise a presumption of a conversion by the prisoner, or that his tale of losing the money was untrue. Sir C. S. HEINTZ% said that the presumption of the prisoner's guilt was sufficiently raised by his telling a gross falsehood as to being detained an hour at Curtis's banking-house, and therefore committed him for trial BO W. STRE ET. Yesterday morning Sir litmus)) Bruin - took occasion to refer to an assertion made by Mr. Corder, the successful candidate for the office of vestry clerk to the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, that " be (Sir Richard. Birnie) had been sent for by Mr. Peel, and se verely rebuked for having interfered in the proceedings of that parish." This assertion Sir Richard Birnie authorized us to state is utterly unfounded. No communication had passed between Mr. Peel and himself upon the subject; nor had he been to Whitehall to account to the ltight Honourable Secretary for the put which he had taken, as stated by Mr. Corder._ Charfes Smith and Jeremiah La :Ward were finally examined,— che former upon a charge of having stolen a horse and gig, the pro- perty of Mr. Jennings, of Staines, in Middlesex; and the latter with having received the horse, knowing it to have been stolen. 'Elie case, as developed by the evidence, presents some curious features. 'flie facts are briefly the s e :—The principal witness is a man named Halls, an accomplice. who has turned approver. Ac cording to his testimony, be was privy to a plan formed by the prisoner Smith and a man named Odes, who has not as yet been taken, to steal the bell from the parish church at Staines, and also to rob Mr. Jennings of his horse and gig. Smith and Odes, accord ing to the witness's statement, made him acquainted with their in tention for some weeks previous to the commission of the act. He was asked to join in the undertaking, but declined to do so, and gave information of what he had heard to Colonel Carmichael, a magistrate residing in the neighbourhood. The witness proceeded to state, that as he was passing the premises of Mr. Jennings on the night of the robbery, he saw Smith and Odes in the act of driving the horse and chaise from the stable-yard of the prosecutor. Smith said to him, "Is that you, bill? You must not say you have seen Odes and me ;" and then, he said, they drove away in the direction of London. Circumstantial, however, as the story of the approver appeared to be, the Magistrate ( Mr. Halls) seemed to be little inclined to give it credit, as it appeared that the approver had only come forward to disclose. where the gig and horse were after a reward had been offered for their recovery, when he first stated that the property would be found at the residence of the prisoner Latchford, at Woodford, In Essex, when an officer was dispatched, who discovered the horse, but could not find any clue to the gig. Mr. HALLS, upon hearing this fact, said be could very well com prehend the state of the east ; and he thought it not at all unlikely that the whole matter had been planned by the approver, to suit his private purposes. He should commit the prisoners although, in his opinion, no Jury would find them guilty upon such evidence as that of the approver Hall. The prisoners were committed accordingly. HATTON—GARDEN. James Ryland was charged with stealing 55 files, the property of his employers, Messrs. Jointsois &ad Co. brass fitters, of New-street square, Fetter.lane. The property was fbund upon the prisoner by a Bow -street patrol, ha Holborn, the preceding evening. Not being able to give &satisfactory account of how he came by them, he was taken to the watchhonse, and ultimately they were discovered to be the property of the above firm.--The prisoner was committed. MARLBOROUG H-STREET. trillion Brews, Elisabeth Brawn, and Asia Charles Minaret were charged with being concerned in robbing Mr. John Yenwick, of Regent-street, of goods to a considerable amount. The prosecutor is a silk mercer, and the male prisoners have been hi his employ for some time as shapeup. - On searching Brown's apartments a vast out:eller of duplicates were - found. It was also discovered that Elisabeth Brown, who is the mother of one of the prisoners, had pledged several pieces of alkyl various colours, within the last few :maths, eta pawnbroker's in Paddington.street, "and it appeared that other property belonging to Mr. Fetiwick had been pawned by the female prisoner.

Monday evening a murder was committed at Old. bury, near this town, the particulars of which, as coo. municated to us, are as follow is stared that against a collier named Stevenson, alias Billy Sugar, several executions for debt had been issued by the OldSury Court of Requests; but being a large and °powerful man, of a ferocious disposition, together with its having been known that he had, in consequence of thee' proceedings, for several weeks past carried about his person an instrument, for the avowed purpose cl attacking any person who should make an attempt to apprehend him, a great reluctance to take him W2I evinced by the officers of the Court. On Monday night, however, one of them, named Horton, who was some what inebriated, hearing that Stevenson was at the Whimsey public-house, proceeded thither, where he found him amongst a large company in the kitchen. drinking. Horton told him his business, and that he must consider him as his ,prisoner : to this Stevenson offered no resistance, but requested that• he might be allowed to go home before he was taken to pri. con: this was complied wish, and they - both proceeded towards Stevenson's house. On going along, they were met by a female, who advised Horton not to go, and in consequence of her advice, he terturned to the pub. lic-house. In a short time, Stevenson made his appear. ante, and after sitting doyen in she kitchen for a few minutes, he suddenly rose, and striking Horton (who was standing w ith his back tow aids the fire) with his kft hand, he plunged the concealed weapon with his other hand into his body. Horton imme.sistely fell but the comparly consi:ering it merely the effect of the blow, no notice was taken of Stevenson, and he made his escape. Upon picking Horton up, he stated what had happened, and was conveyed home, where he died on Wednesday. An lnque t has since been held on view of the body, and a verdict of Wilful Murder was re turned against Stevenson. Horton has lett a prep nant wife and five children. Stevenson has a wife and *ix children. INTEGRITY.—About siz years ago a merchant; name vie forbear to mention, became bankrupt: statement of his affairs being laid before his creditors, showed that the effects would yield 12s. in the pound, which was ultimately realized, and paid to all con cerned. In 1823, the Gentleman left Leith lor Van Demen's Land, where Le was more successful than he had been in this country. A Gentleman in Edir burgh lately recei v ed a letter from him, inclosing bills suffi cient to pay the old deficit of Bs. in the pound, with intetest from the time of his f.ilure, beiJes an addi. tional sum of 3(4 to pay any contingent expenses that may have arisen. What makes this the more praise. worthy is, the fact that be received a full and free discharge before leaving Scotland.
