REMARKS. r LAW lATELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 9. Mr. Justice B tatrr took his seat on the Bench. THE KING r. BRADLEY. This was the commitment by a Magistrate, by which the Defendant had been convicted in the pe nalty of £lOO, and ordered to be imprisoned for six calendar months in the Hope of Correction in Cold hath-fields, on the Act of Parliament commonly called the Little Go Act. Mr. GURNEY had obtained a writ of Habeas Cor pus directed to the keeper of the above prison, corn manding him t) bring up the body of the above named Defendant to be discharged, on the ground that the commitment was illegal. This day the Writ was returned by Aris, the Gover- nor of the Prison, and the Defendant came into Court. Thu words of the commitment being read, were as follow :—" For having, at Edmonton in the County of Middlesex, unlawfully exercised certain games or lotteres for drawing tickets or lots fur goods, and dispersing and dealing out money in lieu thereof, contrary to the Statute." Now it appeared that this was not the Clause which gave the Magistrate the power of commitment' at all. Lord .ELLEVBOROUGII observed, that the commit ment was quite wide of the mark in this case ; but he lamented very much that the Act of Parliament was so loosely drawn. for it was in several parts of it, a sad jumble of nonsense. The Defendant was discharged. MAT 10.—TIIE JUNG AGAINST CHAMBERS. The battle excited some disappointment inasmuch as it was generally understood, although notby judges, that Gregson had been taught the science of fighting ; but it turned out diametrically opposite. He was a resolute novice at the late battle with Gully, at New. market, and by instinct he threw in some tremendous blows at length. It will not be wondered at, that the spectators were surprised when they saw the man, who in the late battle never could approach until he made play, in this instance make play too, hit him through his guard, and doing almost any thing with him. It was evident this all arose from the very attempt at t.:aching a novice on the wrong side thirty to box.— He was constantly abroad ton in rallying, which was not the case in the last battle. Gully fought him with studied caption ; and when he had him at rallying , there was not one instance where Gully failed. The champion was also in much better condition than when he fought at Newmarket, and never betrayed symp:oms of weakness. After the battle, Gully addressed the ring, , and in. formed them publicly, he was so situated, that he never intended to tight again, nor would he have done so in this instance, had he not been bound in honour to comply with Giegson's challenge. He had on this occasion fought with a lame left arm, and Gregscn sureiy would riot desire to combat with him again. The battle lasted one hour and a quarter. DUTCH NAM AND CROPLEY. Mr. MAERTATY applied fur a Habeas Corpus and a Certiorari, to remove a conviction before two Ma gistrates, upon the Lottery or Little Go Acts. The Acts authorise the Magistrates to convict ard sentence the party to imprisonment in the House of Correction fiir not exceeding• six mouths, and not less than one. The Magistrates sentenced him to three months im prisonment, to be kept to hard labrur. This, he con tended, was not within the power given by the Act, and for the; excess of their authority he applied, that the man night be brought up to be discharged.--Tne Rule vv::s gr..nted. Kixwf.sr V CAMPBELL. Mr. GARROW had obtained a rule to shew cause why the Defendant should not be discharged out of custody, upon putting in bail,,by six persons, fur dif ferent sums, to the amount of A. 78,000 in the whole. The Defendant w:is arrested upon a judgment, entered' up in Jamaica, fur nearly ,C 40,000. It being im possible to procure bail for double that amount by two imersons in the usual way, this rule WAS made. The ATTORNEY GENERAL spewed cause, and the Defendant having once offered to enter a conunun ap pearance for himself and partner, required that h.. should now, besides giving bad for himself, appeal for his partner. This Mr. GARRUW, on behalf of his client, refused ti.) do, and the rule was discharged. This wasa teal scientific comba t minute!. and was won by Dutch Sam tolerably easy. The fighting leas not over until sevcu o'clock in the evening. • I , k I i 1 i I ! . 1 I I ; i 0
