The plaintiff, are the assignees of a bank rupt of the name of Hawkins ; and the defendants were the assignees under the commission against the Ports mouth Bank of Minchin, Carter, and Kelly, which was superseded on the ground of concert, and are also the assignees under the commission subsequently il,sued.— Tile bankrupt, Hawkins, was indebted to the Ports mouth bank in the sun► of 2031. and being pressed for payment, under the first commission, gave a draught for the amount, which was fluty honoured. Oa the bank ruptcy of Hawkins, the plaintiffs, us his assignees, upon the first commission of Minchin and Company being set aside, called upon defendants to refund the motley, on the ground that they were not authorized to receive it, and therefore could only hold it to the plaintiffs use.— To this the defendants replied, that, by the subsequent commission, the proceedings under the former cant mission were rendered valid, and, therefore, that they were entitled to hold it for the benefit of the cred The question to be decided was, whether the its3:net, under the superseded commission were personally and the learned judge (Mr. Baron Graham) held, at tint • hat they were not; but the further hearing of the case being pressed, the learned judge charged the jury in fa vour of the defendants, :idanittnig, at the !AMC little, that be might be in error, but that his opinion might be re viewed by the court above. Tile jury returned a verdict for the defendants. SURREY SESSION'S, July 21. Ann Williams, a young woman of very interestina appearance, was tried upon an indictment, charging her with having feloniously hecoine possessed of a large - quantity of tea, the property of John Peers, tea-dealer, of High Street, in the Borough. The prosecaror said, the prisoner ordered at his house that a qiutilt:ty of black and green tea should be sent to Silver S.reit, where she should pay for it on delivery. Ile sent the tea, but never received the value of it, nor saw the tea afterwards until he S3IV it in the possession of an officer. Forrester, the officer, produced a quanti•y of tea ohe prosecutor identified it by h,s writing on the cuccr.) which he said he had taken from a man named Foy, On the 29th of March, in night, near Petticoat-lane. The Counsel for the prisoner contended that no case was made out. The Chairman said, that if the prisoner never in tended to pay for the article when she ordered it, her offence was eniirely feloilious.—Giolly.—Seven years' transportation. THE BOXING MATCH, FOR THE NORWICH SU RSCR!PTION PURSE of 100 GUINEAS, BETWEEN PAINTER AND OLIVER. Aix-lu-Chapelle boasted of the presence of the Great Potentates of Europe there assembled, but the humble little town of North Walsham had to boast of ns much talent as ever was assembled in one place; and although another great champion of England may fancy he can fight in either Arm or by deputy, upon an approaching great occasion, Tom Cribb nutted himself in being at the head of men of talent, without either form or deputy. His forces were, the phenomenon Randall, Belcher, Turner, Shelton, Martin, and all those who had bled on Moulsey Flat, and gratified the taste of the ad mirers of courage, and the English way of settling trifling disputes. Norwich vies with London in patronizing these athletic sports, and many females cf respectable appearance attended, but whether to get a lesson to map their servants, or to witness novelty, is not for us to divine. So great an assemblage present cur informant never witnessed before. The guess at number was 30,000 persons, and the accidents pre sented an appearance quite unusual to the London ring. Not to be beat even by the great commander of the- London ring, or the ingenious commissary who forms the plans, the Norwich Union Club have their forms of ring-making superior to the London style, the stakes being higher, arid the ropes so pre pared, as not to injure the icen in active combat. In addition to this; in one part of the ring a plat form was erected of immense height, so as to give a distinct view to five hundred spectators. We digress here to state, that the number of vehicles from Nor wich alone amounted, according to the prying information of a blacksmith at the half distance to Walsham, to two thousand and fitly, and this corro borates our opinion of the immense number assem bled at Yarmouth, Cromer, and the towns within twenty and thirty miles round, poured in their lots As to the men, Painter has lately turned publican at Norwich, and is respected. He was beat by Olivea at Shepperton Range some years since, when both Ten were stronger, but they were mere compara tive novices in science to the present day. Oliv,:r won that fight, but he was much punished, although trained by Captain Barclay. The fight we arc about to record had many changes, and a finer dis play of science was never seen. Oliver first entered the ring with his seconds, Cribb and Belcher, and Painter followed, when the patience of the partizans was in a state cf txlatuttic”, accompanied by Snring THE NATIONAL REGISTER. as his second, and a Countryman unknown to the ring as his bottle-holder. A parley then ensued as to Painter's right of receiving the waggon-money with. out Oliver having his participation in it, and this amounted to at least 1001., and there was an extra pull of a shilling a head fur those who entered the field, gentle or simple. This also unmounted ►o a great stake, not less than two boxes coutaining R••7dgc to the amount of 2031.—linpurtant litigations took place between the while bag and deal bar men, until Oliver's seconds waived the right of rowing in the waggon game, and they buffed it.—Betting 5 to 4 on Painter, who weighed 13st 41b. and Oliver 1.25t.81b. The ring of 24 fief was formed in excellent style, and an outer ring of immense space was formed with ropes, also to keep back the anxious pedestrians. ROUNDS. 1. Much caution was used isiefoWthe combatants met, and soma: masterly attitudes excited admiration. Oliver made a seieitilic parry of Painter's heavy-hitting right hand. They broke away. and Painter placed a flush nghtdianded hit upon the jaw, and in closing got Oltver's head confined with his left arm, and had a good werivinf; match at him; hut Oliver gut from his hold, an counkir-hits were exchanged. Painter gave his head meliadi.g thrwioid fur Oliver to make play, and in trying fur a left-handed hit upon the head, Oliver received two blows, anti in strugOag for the throw, Oliver won it, but Painter had decidedly the best of the round. it. Oliver placed a smart left-handed hit upon his adversary's body, and Painter shoved first blood on the side of the nose, front the struggle in the former round, which lasted twelve atinutt a . Oliver parried Painter's right hand again, and returned upon the throat with the left hand, when sonic courageous lighting, bu:11. dog fashion, toot place, but Painter fought shy, and seemed to depend upon his heavy right hand. Oliver placed blows lett and rijit upon Painter's head. A rally followed, and counter-hits were exchanged, when Painter got his adversary's head under his min, and administered sonic punishment, and got Oliver sus pended across the lower rope of the ring, and let him go down without hitting him.-2 to 1 on I'ainter. 5. Meer placed a tremendous right-handed blow upon Lis adversary's head, which hit him away, and set the balls of his eyes in extra motion, and threw him in a cloix.—Betting as at the commencement. 4. A gallant round, in winch much skill was displayed, but Pointer appeared thick winded at the onset. lie gave his head again to induce Oliver to make play, and was creeping his left foot on to get behind Oliver's ri.;ht, to place his formidable right handed blow, in which he sitccided ; but Oliver returned upon him. and had the best of in-fighting, but the worat of the weaving close again. Oliver gave Painter the first knock down blow with his right hand upon the head, anti betting was even. . _ _ _ S. Oliver placed a left handed blow upon the head, and a daring fighting round tidlowed, in which Painter placed one of his right handed 'maulers, which stapitied his antagonist for the moment. No better courage could be shown, and the give and take game was the order of lighting to every part of the ring, and both were tired, anti Oliver was thrown. . . . G. Both distressed for wind, and sparred at respectful distance until they had partially recovered, when Oliver placed a heavy lett•handed blow upon his adversary's eye, and a close foliowed, in which Oliver had the worst, and both went down. 4. Both were too tired to commence hitting until Painter made play, when a vory determined and manly round was fought,:and b id% went down again, much distressed. x. Painter's right ogle was nearly darkened, but they turned loose at each ot!ir again with great gallantry, and Painter floored his antagonist by a heavy blow behind the ear. 9. Oliver ,laced two good blows upon his adversary's head in this round, and Painter appeared the most distressed of the two, and had lost his strength of hitting from loss of wind, and in closing both were down, j'ainter under; and Oliver was backed to win at 5 and 6 to 4. _ . 10. Both were so much distressed, that in advancing towards cub other they dropped their hands as if conscious of their inabi lity to hurt each other. When they did get to work, some slaughteting took place, and at the close Oliver went down from the caret of his own blow. 11. This •as the last round, and rather abruptly terminated the battle in 51 minutes. Oliver went to work with touch des peration, although bleeding freely trout the nose, but Painter's head shewed most of punishment, and both temples had nearly stopped his sight. Oliver had the :est of the first part of the round, but he mech . .* a hit, in a close, upon the temple, which floored him, and he could not come again to time, and the denial was a welcome omen to the codqueror, Painter, whose existence was at stake. REMARKS. _ _ _ It was altogether a manly fight, and both men peeled in good condition. Changes took place in nearly every round, but Painter's heavy right hand, with nearly a stone of weight over Oliver, gave him a decided superiority. Both behaved in the most manly manner, and displayed the finest science ; but Painter was the most punished of the two, from appearances. A second battle for a purse of 50 guineas, between Martin and the Birmingham youth (Sampson) was won by Martin in -10 minutes. Sampson.. was beat by superior strength, and it was by no means a good fight. Both Painter and Oliver returned to Norwich the night of the battle, and, as we before observed, Painter was most punished; for although his right handed blows made a great sound, yet they left very little marks. Painter was most distressed for wind, and had it not been for the lucky hit, itis suliposed that he could not have tinight two other rounds. When Oliver got his senses, he wanted to fight again ; but " Nu," said Painter, '' i've won it."— North Walsham is situated about two miles from the place where the men fought, up a narrow lane, and such was the pressure of the cavalcade, that many accidents occurred, and :ne btrects of the little town would scared) hold the vellicLs; nor could the inns, with full yards and passages, contain hall the people. But the Norfolk people seemed all in this Eincy, and well dressed ladies, from the win dows of difli:rent genteel houses, were as anxious to know the winner as if they had a good stake upon it. The bells at Norwich were set ringing, not exactly at die defeat of the Londoners and the loan, but to c' , 'lLratolate tbvir resident tes , •ny:::;l on his victory. SHIP NEWS.
