of their gymnastic frets.

ham, and on approaching a spot known as the "
Devil's-
corner," they raw a number of persons round the
defendants% who were fighting. On seeing the officers
they decamped, and proceeded to Mapnerley-hills, where
the fight was resumed. The police followed them, and
after Sergeant Allwood had seen two rounds fought from
behind a hedge, he and the other officer proceeded to
apprehend the prisoners, who again took to their heels.
Illeeary was ultimately, captured, after offering a stout
resistance. Flint, however, escaped, but was apprehended
daring the day, ender a warrant, in Nottingham. Pie-
, toners were remanded until Saturday.
