BOXING.

The fight between Nat. Greet. a navigator. from Benson,
imsou, and Crowther, who lately fought with tart, took place
o• Medley Moors, on the borders of Burke, the men having
oiolt flight thither from she neighbourhood of Dorchester to
1$ Old au enemy, a distance of more than 19 miles. Youth,
gaiety, and courage *ere the p►ominent qualifications of the
•oen, and they made /walnut light. Crowther was seconded
b. young Bellharse, the wrestler, said Green by Thomas
Ahhutt. It was for 80 guineas, and the company was im-
mense.

The first round lasted twelve Minutes. The koMbatattle
tuurned in rather too much in, and threw away twelvel round
but heavy blow*, until Green knapped a notssfer 011 the
temple, which dropped him on his knees; he, howeVer,
%hewed that his mettle was sprung, and be jumped up and
uenrnuil fighting; some heavy hits were exchanged, and the
bir,out flew in all direction*. Cruwther received a heavy fall,
übiu.li closed the rotund, but be was backed at 5 to 4.
'2. Crowther was hit down by a blow on the left aide, which
nutted his rub* and milted a groan out of him.
A terrible round. is which a doses heavy awkward
tul,ivu were exchanged. Greets haul never ceased to bleed
rnpitutody from the lacerated temple, and he paid his anta-
guitiOt in this round by a heavy hit on the ear, which drew
claret frium it inwardly. They fought stray until both drop-
pelt with distress, anti 'either could appear to time.
A consultation here took place, and the empire recom-
mended the battle to be drawn, a* they were both much
Twat in the twenty-two minutes they had then fought, bet
the hackers, confident in the pluck of their men, were
for lighting on, and after fi►e minutes breathing they turn-
, a•to again.
4. A manly round, and a good rally, when each kept the
chat Hying. lu s close Crowther shelved moat strength by

I. (linen was beat by a fall► after having the best of •
Taus, round. He fell spun the side of his head.
Alitionrh three me• •re rather heavier than the das Lia&l
man, neither could bare successfully encountered with him,
eniwithiaanding ibis excellent fight. They wanted nothing
tuit improvement in science.

" I have been so whelp engaged about Radical■
and other public matters, as not to have had t►n►e to
think hardly of any thing else. I send you
paper, which will ~hew you what is going on here.
The plans of those people were most extensively
laid for ten miles round this, and nothing but their
want of confidence i►► ?acl► other, and the terror
that tested the better •kind of them, when they came
to the immediate prospect of butchering their neigh.:
hours wad friends, prevented ss-iiisus miselsn-f. Missy
thor►sands of them, however, were oat is arms on
the erasing of Wednesday, 5111 April, but not
more than four or five hundred ever gut to one
point ; and in every quarter the disappointment es
to numbers was so great as to dispirit them en-
tirely; they counted on the people in England
rising at the same time ; also on 16 pieces of cop-
ilot' from the Carron works, in both of which they
were disappointed. I can assure you, from what I
know confidentially of the matter, I look upon the
situation of the manufacturing districts to be stith
as to give serious cause of alarm. Unless some
rising occur in Lancashire, I think ►he storm will
ht over here, at least for a time. Awful examples
will 110011 be made here. How far that may break
the spirit, remains to be tried. Our official and
confidential accounts from Manchester to-day are
not so pleasing as we Could wish. I hopes hOwevers
that all may continue quiets"

VICE-CHANELLOR'S COURT, Lnees,iesisir,
TUESDAY. AIMILIL

-

IN THE MATTER OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE RE-
LIEF OF POOR DEBTORS IMPRISONED TOR
SMALL DEBTS.
Mr. RAE stated this was the Petition of the Pre-
sideut and Vice-Prisidenks of ithe above Society,
praying that Musa. Hemet?, bankers. in Fleet-
street, might he ordered to pay into Court in the
name of the AccoOntant-Generaf, , a ruffi tielit sum
to secure to the Society an annuity of Soh per
atinom, under the following circsinistanter. The
late Francis Thomas, Earl of Kerry, bequeathed
by his will a considerable sum standing in his name
in the Navy Five per Cents. to pay annuities,
some of them of a charitable nature, amongst otherf,
501. per annum to the Society for the relief of Odor
debtors imprisoned for small debtst with the re-
sidue and remainder of the sum so vested to the
society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge,
and he appointed Messrs. Homes trustees. for the
purpose of carrying his will into effects and for
pitying the annuities, several of which, since the de-
cease of the testator, had fallen in. Messrs. Hoares
admitted they had a sufficient sum to set apart for
securing the annuity to the Charity. but insisted on
remaining as the trustees. The object of the peti-
tion was, that the principal should be paid.iuto
Court in the name of the Accountant-Geueral, so
as to enable the Court afterwards to appoint the
petitioners the trustees or the charity fund. It was
brought before his Honour in this summary way by
petition, us directed by the Act of Parliament of
the Sed of Clem 111. which salved the expense of
tiling an information. The Learned Counsel there-
fore said, he had no doubt but his Honour would
grant the payer of the petition.
Mr. WETHERELL, Counsel for Messrs. Homes.
stated that his Clients had no interest in this case,
further than to perfordt the trust reposed in them
by the Noble Testator. By his will. they weremade
a Corporation to carry the trusts into effect. The
Petitioners had formed themselves into a society fur
one of the most humane purposes, and they were
entitled to the thanks of the community at large
for having so formed themseltes. He, for one.
honoured and respected them for it, bust they had
never been incorporated as a society, and they might
cease to be such whenever they pleased, and when-
ever that happened, which he trusted might never
be the case, they would not be entitled to the
bounty of the Noble Testatori as it would then be-
long to the Society for Promoting Christian Know‘
ledge, they being entitled to the remainder as the
annuities fell in, and they were* corporate body,
and had actually filed an information in that Court
for the purpose of carrying the intentions of the
Testator into effect. He was instructed by his
Clients to declare, that they did not wish to throw
any impediment in the way of the Petitioners to
secure the annuity in which way they thought pro-
per, but they were advised by Counsel that they
would not be performing the trust reposed in them
by the Testators if they were not joined as Trusteed
with the Petitioners. His Honour, however. Could
not have jurisdiction in the way it was brought be-
fore him, by petition, for which reason lie trusted
I, would it with costs:
Vfr. STEPHEN said he was Counsel for the Society
for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. and
they were ready to submit to any order that hi.
Honour might he pleased to make, at the same
time he was instructed to ask fur the costs of their
being brought there.
Mr. Hie replied.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed, that Fe Was
of opinion that he lied not jurisdiction in this case
on petition which called on him to carry into effect
the will of a testator ; to give him the necessary
jurisdiction it ought to hate come before him by in-
formation. He was, therefore, obliged to dismiss
the petition, but not with costs. According to
the strict rules of the Court it ought to be die.
missed with costs, but looking to the relative
situation of the parties, he tf ght it was a ease
where that Strict tole might be lirokesi into without
the danger of its being made a precedent.
Petition dismissed without costs.
