COMPLETE EXPOSURE AND DETECTION OP THE CROSS, IN THE BATTLE BETWEEN WARD AND ABBOT, AT HOLESEY HURST, ON TUESDAY. A most nonaereus sod respectable meeting of Sporting characters took place at the Ose Toth, in lerwsysbstreet, na Wedoesday evening last. to isirestigate the suspicious cir cumstances reepectina the termination of the above prize fight. Ward, his barker, Tom Belcher, Estes, Cribb, Bores, ken were present. Estes (the second to Ward) mated, w that towards the conclusion of the battle be wished Alas to go fit and wig it ; but was greatly surprised to hear Ward say he had his o►ders, and must not win the battle." Ward ap peared genii ly agitated, and denied it; however, being left to himself for two or three minutes, sod called slum by the Chairman to tell the troth, he bend into tear; hung down his head, sad admitted "it was a own." The Chairman, by the desire of the company, the. asked him who was the per ilig that wished him to sill the battle? Ward said Mr. ►is hacker; and that his backer had promised him 1001. if be lost the light. M►. --, is reply, deaied it, and produced a certificate gigged by Wa►d, that be had done the best to win the battle; that Ward west with him in a hackney coach before a Jos. lice of the Peace is Hattun-gsrdes, but the Magistrate re fused to let him swear to such document. Ward again shed tears, stating, that as he lay i■ bed in the mowing, at the house of ►is barker, the latter person came up to him is a great Burry, and said, " Ward, if you do mot stick to It aow--nay, swear to it, that you have lost the battle fairly, we ■hall not get the money ;^ sod his barker also told him to complain of his back, and to walk lame, if any gentleman should see hiss ; he did so accord ingly, as he thought he must do every thin his backs, told hear. Two gentlemen, Mr. F and Captain P., stated to the merits!, that they had asked Ward in the morning, at the house of his backer, if it was a fair fight! He 'towered yes ; and that be had done his bat to win the 'rattle. It was she observed, that Ward had sturrial times, in the cowrie of the evening, wished to leave the room, in order to avoid the investigation. The barker of Ward, declared he believed the bottle to be a cross; but at the same time be pledged his hononr--nay, he would take bin oath, that he was not privy to such a circumstance. He had every thing to lose, and nothing to gain by such an event. He was well known to the sporting world—his character was nnw In fore them; and he defied wry person to prove that he had woe any consider. able aim, no as to have induced him to art like such a foul and a scoundrel. On the cowman/ be had backed Ward, sad be trusted the battle money world not be giver op. The gentleman who backed Abbot said he would not re ceive the mosey; but, nevertheless, be thought Abbot ought to have something done for hiss, as it did not appear that he had acted terosegly,—(Grest applause.) Mr. T. Belcher said, that previously to the battle he had 1 heard that vnusething was wrong; aid be mentioned it to —, Ward's backer, who immediately laid him the odds oo Ward. A letter was read from a well.kooon sporting gentleman, decteriog that it was so Oagraut a cross that he would rot receive epos it. Before the question was put Ward was 'waif called, when h e p ers i s ted, or to use his own words, said, " it was • pro. per fair cross." That be was lgoorant in the ways of the world, out used to company, nor to drink wise. His hacker had also eudeavonred to make him tipsy the sight before fightiug, Raying, " Never mind, Ward, you have but little nook to do tomorrow, therefore it is of iso consequence how much you drink." As he hoped to gu to H hereafter, whatever he had done wrong was according to the directions of his backer, and rot his inclination. He bad told nothing to-night but the truth, and he was without a shilling. Mr. —, Ward's backer, again protested that he had no knowledge of t►e cross. It was suggested to the Chairman, on patting the question, that no person ought to vote whir had any bets on the fight bet the backer of Wald said that every 'portal( mao pre sent ought to give ►is vote. It was carried unanimously, that the battle between Ward and Abbot wee a eras*, the barber of Ward holding up his hand that it was in his opiuiou a cross. Thus the matter steads at pretest. Tom Cribb, and several other persons present, 'hewed their charitable and forgiving disposi lions, by putting down money fur Ward; who, besides his dishonesty in t►e 6ebt, went to Hatton-garde• police-office ou iVeductday, with the Windrow of committing perjury LAW 0-TALLICANCL COURT OF RING'S BENCO, Wasymikette i FRIDAY, OCTOBER TS. Ikbire tb Loao CAM JUSTICE awd a Special /airy. ItNG v. LODGE AND BITTLESTON. The SOLICITOR-GaDERAL stated that this was a proceeding by mire Adios, to try the validity of a patent, granted in the year 1820 to the Defeodents, who are tross-makers in the Strand, for a certain improvement said to be made by them iu the t►usses used by persons efiicted with hernia. The improvement for whict: the letters patent were granted was in the mode in which the springs were triode to act, and this was certainly a very beneficial invention but he should prove, by unquestionable testimony, that, so far from being a new invention, a patent for this identical form of truss was taken out in the yea► 1811 r by Messrs. Salmon and Ody. who were truss-makers of considerable eminence iu Holborn. Having' established throe facts, he hid no doubt the verdict of the Jury would be in favour of the Crown. The specifications ■nd drawings for the patent granted to Salmon and Ody in 1811, and to the Defendants in 18i0, were then put in evidence, and the following witnesses examined:— Thomas Fletcher know• the Defendants; they keep a shnp for the sale of trusses; bought of them on the 29th September the truss produced. Thomas Bateman produced • truss, which he had bought from the Defendants a few Jays ago. Samuel Harris, a workman employed in milking trusses, stated, that the truss produced is correct by the drawing, No. 2, of Mr. Salmon's specifica tion. Witne.s first worked for Mr. Salmon in 1813 and 1814, ■nd made trusses of that descrip tion for Min, and has seen them exposed for sale in Mr. Salmon'► window. Mr. Salmon is now dead. Cross.exausined by Mr. Scalturri..—Mr. Ody gave him • pattern to make the truss by ; it was not made from a drawing. He could not tell from the drawing now .hewn him , whether the pad was on the concave or convex side of the truss. The pad was on the convex side of the trusses which he made 18 months ago. He had seen one truss of that description previous to his going to Prat 4 e in 1815. B. Donkin, examined by the Souct-roi-Getts- It AL.—I am acquainted with patents. I have read the specifications of Salmon and the Defendants, and have compared that part which relates to the spring.. They are similar : looking at the drawing and read• ing the specification, I should have no doubt that the pad was placed on the convex side of the truss. The object of the spring would be defeated if the pod were on the other side. Thou. Gill hail examined the specifications of the Defendant and Mr. Salmon, and found them alike. He prepared the Defendants specification from his instructions. J. Millington, engineer, corroborated the evi. dence of the former witness as to the similarity of the springs described in the specifications of the Defendants and Mr. Salmon. and should, from the drawings and description, have no doubt that the pad was on the convex side. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT.—If the drawings described the curvilinear line, he should have some doubts whether the pad was on time con vex or concave side. The drawing represents the pad on one side. and the buckle on the other. Joseph Privy had examined the specification. and the inventions were very similar; the action of the spring is the chief merit of both, and its both that action is alike. Looking at Salmon's drawing and the specification, he should place the pad ou the convex side. Cron-examined by Mr. SCA RLETT.--Wilnesl understands drawing. A curve projected on a plane will, in drawing, appear like a strait line if the eye is horizontally placed; and, to chew the curse, the object is raised abo►e or depressed below the eye. Francis Braithwaite, and John Williams, a truss maker, confirmed the preceding testimony. Mr. Pool, clerk in the patent office, recollected the Defendants applying for a patent, and he re commended them to look ■t other specifications first. Mr. Scatutre, fur the Defendants, complained of the mode in which the question had been brought before the Jury by • writ of mire facial, to recal the Defendants' patent, instead of Messrs. Salmon •nd Ody bringing an action fur the infringement of their patent. He observed how remarkable it was, that in • metropolis like this, where it wars corn. puted that one-seventh of its labouring population were afflicted with ruptures, yet no surgeon had been called to speak to the utility of Messrs. Sal mon and Orly's invention ; no patient had been examined that had received any benefit Irons it. There was no instrument of surgery more generally used, yet although there was. Rupture Society in this town, to whom every thing of the kind was litmillar, yet no surgeon or member of that Society had been called. The invention claimed by the Plaintiff was, unquestionably, a very beneficial one, and had it been known since 1811, the truss would doubtless have been universally used; yet ro far from it, he should prove by the evidence of the most eminent surgeons, that it was never seen before the period of the Defendants' potent. He should also call a workman who had made • truss after the drawings and specification of Messrs. Salmon and Ody, and it had the pad placed on the concave side, and the questinn for the Jury to try was this, was the pad of the Prosecutors' truss placed on the convex side—aye or no? After the evidence which he should lay before them, he trusted they would feel satisfied in giving • verdict for the De fendants. Joseph Csrpne, examined by Mr. l'ot.t.ocx.— lam a surgeon, and have been 40 years. My at. tension was first called to this truss about the year 1820; before thirt period I had never seen a truss in which the springs so acted. I have seen o great many of Salmon and Ody's trusses, bat never saw any thing like this as coming from their shop. I believe this truss is generally used ;tow, and fur the cases to which it is applicable it is a beneficial invention. I mentioned it to Mr. Blair, the sur. geun of the Rupture Society. Joshua Brookes, examined by Mr. ROTC/.—l •m a surgeon, and • lecturer on anatomy ; 1 Mill saw a trues similar to the Defendants till I mow theirs, and I have since recommended it. Wm. Wilt, surroo of the Rupture SealatY. eitamiuea by Mr. ScsaLErr.-1 have beta sur aeon or the Society since its first instittition in 1804 ; I have seen a great number of trusses ; new inventions are brought to us. and we had applitv lions from Salmon and Ody to recommend their trusses, but no truss of this sort was ever presented to me by Salmon and Ody. This truss was first bronglit to my notice iu 1820, or beginning of 1821 ; I thought it very navel, and likely to be usrful in certain cases. Crosa-ettrmined by the SotictTon-GenEgst. The self-adiusting truss was presented to the So ciety in 1810. by Salmon and Ode ; 1 ut first approved of it, but afterwards altered my opinion. Salmon and Orly have since kept aloof from me. Charles Bell, surgeon.—This truss was only pre sented to my notice in 1830; if it had been in any thing like common use, I should have seen it. and I think it must hare come into common use *mate disiely it was known. Mr. Wriglit, surgeon, and Robert Jones, sot. 'eon, of Chancery-lane, partner nitli the late Mr. lloward, pee similar testimony to the preceding witness. Jolla Coombs, examined by Mr. ScARLETT.-1 have the tnisfortune to be raptured, and have worn several truces of &tenon and oJy's, but nevrr bad a truss from them that answered. Ahout 18 mouths ago I first wore a double truss of this con struction, which I got from Lodge and Bittleston, and it has made a OM of ine. Joseph Clements, a mechanical draftsman, eaten. sively employed iu that line. examined by Mr. Pot.t.ocx.—l have seen the opecifications, and in the drawings of Mr. Salmon the pad appears on the concave side. Tne black truss is an ex ,et repre sentation of the drawing in Mr. Salmon's specifics. ton of fig. 8. (In this truss the pad was on the concave side.) It (the drawing) appears very dale. rent from this truss (one cri the Defendant's trusses) ; looking at the drawing, he should have made a trams like the black one. " The project, ing like a horn," as described in Salmon's 'predi cation, gives no information, as horns project in all manner of ways. Alfred Ainger, a draftsman.--.ln his judgment the drawing, fig. 8. only *hews that the object is carved at the edges, but gives neither concave nor convex side. Upon studying the drawings and ape cifications together, there appears no ambiguity, but that the pad is on the concave side of the truss. George Grseg, a tress-maker, examined by Mr. POLLOCAC—Etas been in the trade 12 years, and from the drawing, No. 8. and so much of the speci fication es he heard read, he should as a workman have made the black truss. Before Lodge and Bittleston's patent wag taken out he never saw the covered truss with the pad on the convex side. Peter Nicholson (author of the Mechanical Die lionary).--Ilan looked at the drawings, but not at the specification. The drawings represent the pad on the concave side. In none of the figures is the pad represented on the convex side. The words of the specification do not alter Ins opinion as to which side the pad is placed. Wm. Raines, a truss-maker, never saw a truss of this description before Lodge and Bittlestun's patent. Samuel Raines, a truss-maker, has been employ. ed to make a truss from the drawing. and specifics taws, and from them be made the black truss with the pad on the concsve side. Cross-ezarnined by the SuLtctroa•Gangitsr..— I am in the employ of the Defendants, and was em► ployed to make the truss in February last. I made it from the drawings only. Samuel Bittlreton went to Salmon and Ody's shop in December last, and asked for as twiny ea miles of trusses as they could shew me, but they did not produce sky like the Defendants. The SOLICITOR-GENLIAL replied, offer which The Loan CHIEF JusTtce summed op the evi dence.—The Jury found a verdict fur the Crown. MURRAY C. TIM EARL OF STAIR. This was an action on a bond for 2,0001.. Men by the Noble Defendant before he came to the title, being then called John William Henry Dalrymple; the condition of the bond was the payment of 2,000/. within six months after the death of the lute Earl of Stair. The Defendant had pleated several pleas-6►st, that it was not his deed ; second, that it was delivered not as his deed, but given to Mr. Saunders to be delivered to Mr. Murray after the death of the late Earl of Stair ; and also that the bond was given on account of a gaming transaction. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case for the Plaintiff, who was, he said, a Lieutenant in his Majesty's service. His late father was a clothier, and he had blare transactions with ■ Colonel Morgan, to whom he advanced 2,000/., and for that sum the Colonel gave him two notes for 1,0001. each, of Mr. Dalrymple's. Afterwards Mr. Dal rymple, swishing to extinguish those notes, gave for them the bond which was the subject of the present action. The bond was regularly attested by Mr. Saunders, whom he should call, and then should be entitled to the verdict of the Jury. Wm. Saunders examined by Mr. Guanev.—l am an attorney. I saw Lord Stair, then Mr. Dal rymple, seal the bond about the time it bears date. He then delivered it. I had been surety for Mr*. Murray, and I required some security to ptotrct myself. I kept the bond in my hands for that and for Mr. Dalrymple, till the death of Lord Stair. I did not keep it till the death of Lord Stair; I handed it to Murray, the intestate, iu the year 1819. Lord Stair did nut die till June, 1821, and Mr. Dalrymple then succeeded him. I was to keep the bond till the death of Lord Stair. Mr. Ddl rymple did not wish the circumstance to be known to his family. Cross-examined by Mr. SCA ItLEM—The bond was given for two notes which the intestate had ob tained horn Colonel Morgan. 1 told intestate that I understood the notes were given for money lost at play at Paris. Murray afterwards threatened au action against Mr. Dalrymple. I was Mr. Dal rymple's attorney. It was the express understand ing that the bond was to be kept till Lord Stair's death, and then not to be given to Mr. Murray till the two notes were given up. I gave up the bond to the present Plaintiff in 1819, at his urgent soli citation, but the notes I did not get back ; they have never been delivered up. The bond dated 3d November, 1813, was then put in sod read. Mr. SCARLET! submitted, on the authority of the ease of Johnson v. Baker, that the bond was invalid. and that the l'lsisitiff should be nonsulted. The CUIEF JUSTICE saw a dist.nctiou between that case and the present. His Lordship would not sionsuit the Plditititi. but Mi. Searlett might have the point reserved. Mr. SCAIILETT then culled Sir Alexander Dodd, who stated, that •in 1907 he. was at Paris at it restaurateur's with the Mar quis De Livres, who was the entertaining partner of a gaming establishment ; play with dice t. ok pia r, and witness and Lord Stai► (who was thrii Mr. Dalrymple, and passing t i nder the name of Man. (letilk) lost upwards of 8,000!.; he believed Mr. Dalrymple paid 600/. of it, and notes were given to the Marquis for ■ very large sum. Mr. Dal rymple afterwards came to witness, and told him his real name and who he was; upon which simile'', feeling that he was placed in a situation of great peril, from having signed a fictitious name in the notes given to the Marquis De Lyres, and also apprehensive of some embarrassment to him self from having been in his company, agreed it give to the Marquis (to whom lie was known, as one who had always answered his engagements acid who had been in l'arie some time) his note, and rake his (Mr. Dalrymple's) notes instead.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, CLERCINWELL, FRID•Y, OCTOBER 26. BASTARDY -KISH ERIFF PARKINS. THE PAEISH OF II AILY•LE-501111 S. JOSEPH W. PARKINS, gsq. This case was called on about one o'clock. There was a full bench of Magistrates. Mr. ADOLPHUS was Counsel for the parish, and Mr. ALLOY for the Ex-Sheriff. It was an appeal of the Ex-Sheriff against an ordrr of the Magistrates of Mary-le. bone Police Office, of affiliation made by them against the Defendant, as being the father of a child by a young woman of the name of Hannah White. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case on the part of the parish. Hannah White deposed that she met the De. fondant in the mantis of June 1821, in Hyde Park. she was then in the service of Capt. Fosaip, of the Riding-house in the Pink ; he addressed her. and they had afterwards several interviews, and in the mouth of August following he accomphslied her ruin in Kensingtonsgardens; the result of which was that she became pregnant by him. On her cross-examination by Mr. ALLEY she said. that the Defendant had connexion with her more than three, four, or six times, but she would not undertake to swear that it was more than four times, and always in Kensington Gardens ; their interviews took place on the right of the gate nearest to Cumberland-gate, about 100 yards from the gate, in • place not much frequeuted. She met him first in the month of June ; be dia. mounted from his horse. and gave it to his groom, after which he addressed her with overtures of affec tion. She went to reside at St. Martin's-court after she found she was in a state of pregnancy, and passed herself off as a married woman, for the purpose of obtaining a lodging; she went by the name of Jervis, and called her brother her husband, Mr. Jervis, for the purpose of hiding her shame. The Defendant several times promised to make her • present, but he never did, except 44. towards buying a pair of boots; that was about the third time she was with him in the gardens. He refused to give her his name, as lie said he was • public character, but that he lived near Temple bar. She found him out four months after she knew that she was in a state of pregnancy. She never asked him for pecuniary assistance. Her brcther came to see fur in St. Martin's-court, but he did not know that she was pregnant. She had lived at Captain Fosaip's from May to October; ohs left it on account of some difference which took place be tween her and her mistress, and she was glad of the opportaoity to leave, as she was afraid that the state she was in might be discovered by her mistress ; she did not leave her service on account of her mistress having lost a diamond brooch. She did not apply to the Defendant for assistance, as she thought it would be of no use ; her brother appeared before• the Magistrates at Mary-le-bone Police-office; she did not hear Mrs. Simmons say that he was not the person which she called Mr. Jervis, and that the person she int►oduced to her as Jervis w t . much older man ; she might have said it, but if sh, ! did she said what was not true; site could atilerimly swear that the Defendant was the father of the child.
