CAPTURE OF PRIZE FIGHTERS AT LEEDS.—A
gang of pugilists and their admirers to the number of
about 400, on Monday were surprised in their brutal
amusement by Inspector Burrows and five officers of the
Leeds police force. The inspector received information
during the day that • prize fight was to take place in the
vicinity of Cohleotes, and with the view of preventing the
disgraceful encounter. be hastily proceeded in the direc-
tion named, accompanied by a sergeant and four con-
stables. After some little time spent in searching the field
in that locality, the combatants were discovered encircled
by a large crowd. The scoots speedily detected their
appearance, and the signals they pave were the prelude to
an ignominious flight, for, conscious of having committed
a breach of the law, they took to their heels with
such great celerity that the inspector and his men
had a smart chase after them. One of the " heroes "
of the day, who was attired in nothing but drawers and
spiked fighting boots, was eventually run down, and the
punishment he bad received at the hands of his opponent
was plainly visible in blackened character in the region of
his eyes, his left eye being also laid open with a large cut.
On being captured he gave the name of Patrick Mullighan,
and described himself as • labourer, but did not Tire any
address. On further searching the field a man named
Joseph Leonard, who said he was a French polisher living
in York-street, was discovered secreted behind a stubble
heap. He was of course also secured, and from • bag
which he carried, and which contained a sponge, a small
quantity of resin, and the clothes of one of the comba-
tants, it would seem that he had performed the duties of
second. The rest of the gang escaped. Yesterday morn-
ing the two prisoners were placed in the dock at the Town
Hall, before Mr. Chorley and Mr. W. S. Jackson,
when Inspector Barrows and several whereon, testified
to the above facts. From the information contained
in a paragraph in a London sporting paper, which was
produced in court by the inspector, it appeared that
this " wane at anns," as it was described, was for 201.,
and that it was between " Mick Howard and Patsey Mul-
ligan, both of Normanton. at catch-weight." It was fixed
to take place in the " Yorkshire district," on Monday, and
the editors of the journal in question had appointed the
referee. The paragraph further stated, Both men are
as well aa their beet friends can wish, and a slashing con-
test is confidently anticipated. The match has created
considerable interest." Mulligan, who is a swarthy Irish-
man, with • bullet-shaped head, and • characteristic
pugilistic phyriognomy, frankly admitted, in answer to
the magistrates, that he took part in the encounter, but
Leonard stoutly maintained that he was not present, and
accounted for his capture in the stubble field by saying
that he had been haymaking with some women in • field
adjoining. Both the prisoners were ordered to enter into
their own reiroviisanoes in 20f., and to find two sureties in
101. each, to keep the peace for six mouths.—Leads Mer-
cury.

"ONE HORNE" AND A "WHOLE TEAM."—A
favourite expression of the Americans to denote Place,
thing. or person, that is small or of little amount, is "one.
horse." In the west, says Mr. Bartlett, by an obvions
agricultural figure. this term is applied to anything small
or diminutive, se " a one-tone bank--a one-horse church,"
meaning • little bank or church. Bo the phrase " a one-
hone lawyer" is applied to a mean contemptible pettifogger.
A clergyman deprecating the use of such expressions as
"clang it," " confound it," called them " one-horse oaths."
" Liverpool," said a newly-arrived New-Yorker, .• is • poor
one-horse kind of • place." In contradistinction to one-
time', some wet of the west invented the phrase " • whole
teem," to signify a man of wealth or importance, or • Ma
fellow generally. " I like the judge ; he's none of your
one-horse lawyers, bat a whole team." The phrase took the
popular fancy, and received =omissive additions from the
rough humourista of the day—such as " be's a whole team
and • horse to mare ;" or the ee pies ultra of commenda-
tion. "Grant's the man for the next President ; he's •
whole team, a horse extra, and a big dog under the wag-
gon !"—Letter in " New York Herald." Another common
Americanism, derived from rural life, though not so racy
se the foregoing, is to " bitch horses," or mom tersely "to
bitch," to agree or consort with • person. " After he
en:. d his fist in my face at the election, we never hitched
together."—hrelintook's Tales. " I have been
teeming (driving a waggon) for old Pendleton, but I
gaps we shan't lota long."—Nrs. Clover's " Forest
Life."—Bl•ektoood's Megatiste fee Octave.
