The Lord Justice Clerk then addressed the prisoner nearly
as follows :

" Andrew Alt Kinky, in consequence of arlat has paned this day,

as follows :
_

BOXING AT Moritsi.e liustsT.—Two of these scandalous
scenes, ha the disgrace of the Mugisteicy, were, on Wednes-
day, selfered to be exhibited at the 1111011' place. 'I he Cr
battle was for thirty 'Moves, between Painter, who was
best by Oliver, and Sutton, an athletic Black, who beat
Robinson the Black, pt Doncaster, last year, but who had
never exhibited for any prize in London helm c. Painter
was seconded by H. Cribb, and 11. ILI men :Ind Sutton was
.CCllllllell I.y T. Owen and T. Jones. To follow them from
the Ist to the 4elli round, which ended the tight, would be
tediums, as Painter was so reduced that Ile I'ollld wake no
hits; and Sutton's backers most prohanly owe victory to the
generalship, of Tom Owen hissiceoud, who not only spurred
him by wia ds, but sometimes pushed him. Tiee tight lasted
forty-three minutes and ten seconds. Huth men were most
severely beaten the Black, who bled but little during the
tight, bled copiously front the head when put to bed.
A screed tight took place between Reynolds and Besanco
(a Jew), but it did not prove, upon the whole, so good a
tight as the above. Reynold.. had the worst at going till, but
he got in at his adversary at last, although be had length aad
vu- rote open him. R?yumlds was blind atter 111.:111illig more
than hour ; lie desired the application of the lancet, which
was appiied, and he wan cleverly in one hour and twenty-five
minutes, or at least lie fought up hill two thirds of the time.
The Jew at last resorted to tumbling about, but he was finish-
ed by a right-handed bit nosier the ear.
