The
the spot. The prisoners and the rest of their companions
then %vent away. NViiness swore positively, that when
Gatvey amuck the deceased with the poker, Edward
Callaghan, Daniel Donovan, and Vary Donovan veer..
present. She was not certain whether Wm. Donovan
was present. The deceased then went to a surgeon's
shop in the neighbourhood.
Sarah %Vilhanns was cross-examined by Mr. Barry.—
Her husband is at va; she was never prosecuted; had
never beets in a Court ktitril!*, was once imprisoned,
Arno five years ago ; site wit; two days there, with this
single exceinion, she had never before been in any trou-
ble of the kind. There utieltt be one or two more men
in the public-house besides those she had mentioned.—
She knew the prisoners before the affray. The door of
her Iloll3e was thirty yards from the George. She saw
he dt•ceased at work a short time after the accident had
happened; he had then a handkerchief tied round It is
head. Saw the deceased three or four times before the
prisoners Were apprehended.
John Fortesque, a butcher, residing in George-yard,
and one of the Englishmen with whom the deceased
Was sitting wheat the outrage commenced, was exa-
mined, touching the earticniars. His account differed
in some respects from that given by Williams. lle
described the deceased as following him quietly into tile
yard, inoead of being drzhzged out in the manner de-
scribed by the for her witness. He accompanied the
deceased to the doctor's the fulluwiag morning, and saw
his wounds dressed. There was a large fracture on the
skull, besides some smaller nritises. lie was only pre-
sent at one dressing. Tne Loge wound had the appear-
ance of having been jammed in with a poker. The
doctor who first dressed the wound has now removed to
Prince's street, Spitalfields.
In cross-examination, the witness said, that the pri-
soner went out of the public-house before him, and that
he was followed by Cathy. He believed no one drag-
ged Carthy, but he could not see behind hint. He could
not tell whether sticks or Use poker were first used, but
thought that the poker was. Did not recollect seeing
Mrs. Williams there. Witisess was desired to look at
Mrs. Williams, and he then iintfiediately recognized her
as having been in the tavern. The tirst assault was
committed in consequence of the deceased speaking to
the servant girl, when he was immediately " pitched
into" by two of the prisoners. Witness and deceased
drank a pot of beer together the next day, and the day
following that they drank a quantity of gin and beer.
On the Sunday morning deceased was quite deranged.
Did not recollect whether they then thank together.
IVitness persuaded him to go to the Hospital. Wituess
formerly was a butcher, but has now retired upon a
sufficiency of a2s. a week • Had been before magistrates
for petty assaults, but always houottrably acquitted.
Re•examined by Mr. Jessop.—lt was in consequence
of the intimation that they would be murdered that he
and earthy left the public-house.
Julius Nuttorti, the apothecary, was examined. He
sattl he ordered a hair-dresser to shave the head of the
deceased, hut he could not, and ss itness did it himself.
The wound on the right side of the skull was a very
dangerous one; it appeared to have been inflicted wills
I a blunt piece of iron, and great force hail been used. Ile
saw the deceased after his death, and then saw that the
skull was fractured. The man was not able to work.
Cross examined.—Deceased was intoxicated when
brought in. A slight wound might have been dam:er-
ous in such a state. He saw the deceased twice after-
wards much intoxicated, and he came to bins once
without plaisters, or any dressing on his head. This
witness's assistant spoke to the saute facts.
Mr. W. Self, a pupil at the London Hospital, de-
posed, that on the .Bth ofJ uly the deceased was brought
to the Hospital. He examined him, and found several
wounds on his head, which appeared to have been in-
tlic..ed by some obtuse weapon. The wounds appeared to
have beets given several days prior to that time, and the
inflammation of the scalp had considerably subsided.
There was a slight fracture of the skull, but no depres-
sion. lie could not ascribe the death of the man to any
oilier cause than that of the blow : that, in fact, was the
primary and original cause of the patient's death, but tie
might have recovered by temperance and proper medical
assistance. Without medical aid he would have ailed,
had he been ever so temperate.
This closed the case for the prosecution, and the pi-
Boners in their tle!eoce merely said they were ittnitectit.
Dennis Sollivan was the first witness called fur the
defence. He was at the door if the George public-house
on the nigh: in question, and saw the prisoners and
others come out of the house followed by Jeremiah
Canby, the deceased, and eight or nine others of " It s
party." Cathy called aster the prisoners, but they took
no notice of him. One of Carthy's companions then
threw a brick at the prowlers, and a fight commenced.
After the fight was its er one of Carthy's party called the pri-
soner, M. Donovan, very gross names. Toe 1i.611. was a
general one between die two partiesond WJS cairied with
bricks and sticks. Carthy was eueouragirie his party, by
saying" go it my boys," slid other shnilar ex press Arias. in
%violets's (+intuit tie i•tionsers and their blends would
have gone home quietly, had they not been called alter
by Carthy. He saw Carthy the next thy at the George
pillow-house, and two or three mornings after he too
hint in the Commercial-road, at half-pass six its the morn-
ing, with a bundle under his arm.
Cross-examined.—The hard stones were called by
• Cathy, after the battle was user.
Several witnesses gave the prisoners a good character
for humanity.
• I Baron Graham summed up the evidence at great

off Corisco, in lat. I deg. Id min. north ; she instantly
filled with water. At day-break we were surrounded
with a 11011)11er of canoes, well manned and armed;

the decks were crowded with blacks, plundering in all
directions, stripping us naked, and throwing us into
their canoes; among whom 1 noticed Captain Bean,
without a stitch on biro, who was only recovering front
a lona sickness. One of the crew was shot by the
Africans previous to our being taken out of the ship.—
We were taken to the shore all in differeur canoes, and
placed in separate towns. The only place the natives
waded to was Gaboon, where 1 arrived on the kith
May. 1 waited on Prince William, and prevailed on
him to go down and purchase the captain and the
remainder of the crew. After relating the distress we
were in, he consented, and set sail on the following
morning, and on the 22d he arrived as Gaboon, with
Capt. Bean and four of the crew. There was a French
brig and a Portuguese schttoner lying in the river. The
French captain purchased Captain Bean, J. Stowell and
myself, and was good ea.mgli to give its passage to Mar-
tinique, where we steel.. the Ilith of July; from

Southwark, at his otlice in the Old Bailey, with a let-
ter from the steward of Guy's hospital, intimating that
a nun was brought there that *limning, in cousequence
of his having fallen oft a scaffold, and that he died almost
immediately. Mr. Sitelton issued his warrant for an
inquest to be hoWen on the body, and the beadle re-
tot tied and summoned a Jury, who were to sit the fol-
lowing evening; iu the interim the dead man was
it:moved to the dead-house, and several of the students
accompanied tile body, to learn what internal injm.-
he had sustained. Some appearances, however, led
them to believe that life was not extinct, and, in oitler
to try the experiment, they applied themselves with un-
abated ardour to use the Ingallsgenerally adopted in

HATTON GARDEN.
On Monday one of the most extraordinary examina-
tirms relative to the identity of a dog (lectured at this
Office, we have ever witnessed. Mr. Sut 1111 l era, a but-
cher, residing in Skinner Street, Somers Town, appeared
to a summons at the suit of George Fisher, Esq. of
Boston Square, to show cause why he detained a saki-
able NewtOundland dog, his property, which dog had
been missing about four months, and a reward of two
guineas advertised for his recovery. NI r. Ripley stated,
that be had the dog a puppy, and that it was in Iri
poss. ession about three years and a half; that lie lost the
ring about twelve months ago, and offered a reward of
five' guineas for his recovery ; and in couseqwuce ul
which reward Mr. William Audley, a constable of St.
Pancras, brought him the dog (rout Paddington, and
paid the five guineas to the person who restored it; that
about four months ago he lost the dog again, and had
some pOSlillg bills stuck up, offering a reward of two
guineas fur his recovery, but that the dog was never
brought back; that about a week ago a gentleman, a
friend of his, then present, knew the dog, which he'
saw fol:owing the defendant; and after watching him
home, his friend informed him, the plaintiff, of the cir-
cumstance. Mr. Ripley, accompanied by Mr. Audlev,
the constable, who could swear to the identity of the
dog, went to deft udatit's house, where they saw the
dog, and being well satisfied as to the identity of the
dog, he offered the reward and claimed the dog, but Nit..
Summers refused to deliver it up. Mr. Ripley then No-
(laced a host of witnesses to prove the identity of 1111:
dog, which he said lie would not part with fur twenty
guineas: it is a beautiful anhoal, black, with a white
breast, four wine.: feet, and a white blaze on his face.
Mr. Summers being called on Ito his defence, stated
that be bad the dog six mouths in his possession, being
two months before Mr. Ripley lost his dog. lie knew
the dog about twelve mouths before to the possession of
Mr. Jennings, a builder, lately deceased, front whom he
had the dog; and he produc.el a number of respectable
witnesses to prove the dug was three years in Mr. Jen-
nings's possession.
A man of the name of Stevens proved selling the dug
a puppy, three years and a half ago, to Mr. Jeunings.
Mrs. Jennings, her apprentice, her lodgers, several
of her neighbours, and woikinen, Were ready to swear
the dug was three years in the possyssion of Mr. Jen-
nings before lie gave it to the detrodam. Tire plaintiff
and a number of the most respectable witnesses were
equally prepared to swear to the • identity of the dug,
which they called Cato; the defendant called him Plato,
and the dog readily answered to both names. The
Magistrate, NI r. Rogers, declared lie found it impossible
to decide, and he dismissed the complaitit. Mr. SUM-
Men took the dog, an Nit.. Ripley declared his intention
of bringing an action for the recto cry of the dog.

A young man nained Weedon, was charged by Mr.

called at his house, and told him he could get a great
deal of liminess for the house, and would undertake to

the prisoner, and on that account made a narrow emptily
into his conduct. He: ascertained that the :Mal of 321.
I Is. 4d. had been paid by a linendraper, in Great Suriey-
street, into the hands of the prisoner without being ac-
counted for, awl he accused h:ni of having feloniously
embezzled the saute.
A clerk to the linendraper stated that the prisoner
sold to the house a quantity of paper, and delivered a

COUNTRY BANK N ()TER.—There can be no doubt
that Whenever the Bank of Englaild notes are, by the
new issue, rendered inure secure against imitation, the
ingenuity of the forger will be directed against the
Country Bank-limes, which are now in a very defenceless
state. It is a swirce of h satisfaction to us, there-
fore, to have learnt, that a plan fur the protection of
the Conetry Bank-notes has been adopted by the Go-
(refitment, which will, by an issmairdeopfqarnitt, htelire

forge the note without fro-ging the stamp. This stamp
is combined with beautiful coloured printing, intended
nearly to cover the back of the note, so as to preclude
the liecessity, and also to save the expence at present
inetared by many Country Bankers in printing a back
to their notes byway of security, that security being by
the (Lvernment gratis. It is proposed also to connect
this with a change in the paper for the Country Bank-
notes, by substituting r description of paper, the water
mark and appearance of which can wily lie produced in

are various ways of forging the present water mark in

BOWIE K Y AND ATTEMPT TO URDE R.—Thurslay
night, between eight and nine o'clock, as Geo. Welfare,
one of the constables at the Town Hall, Southwark, was
walking over the Dover-road, his attention was attracted
by a moaning noise, which seemed to proceed from a
small field at the end of Dover-street. lie hastened to
where he thought the voice proceeded trout, and as he
approached closer, lie beheld a man stretched on the
ground. The officer lined lint a i, but it was sonic time
before he could persuade him he was 5.11. C. At length
lie suffered himself to be carried two the road, and trout)
thence to a surgeon, WliCfe he was properly dressed.
There were three desperate wounis or tile head, and
one owthe cheek, supposed to have been inflicted by
some heavy weapon; his clothes were torn and bloody.
Tlic account he gave of the circumstance was, that Ii
was a stranger to the neighbourimod that while eras-
ing the field where the oilicer found hhis, :ie was attacked
by a number of thieves and women, who beat lion with
sticks until he was stunned, alitl then took his watch

V Eri HAMA RNANI.P. ESCAPE.—On Friday week, as
Thinna9 Laid law, stimeinason, was employed its the
inside or a well, at Newtown of Rocklin', a few miles
from Carlisle, lie was completely buried by the fallitig iu
of the walls and earth. Ile was standing upon a ladder,
some yards front the top of the well, when he perceived
the walling and earth beneath to give way, and almost
instantly the whole top part fell in upon him, with an
immense quantity of mould, which completely buried
the poor man nearly live yards below its surface. The
other war i;:iien upon the spot immediately began to
clear out the rubbish, to save, if possible, the life of their
fellow workman, although they entertained little hopes
of success. After lifting away the stones, many of which
were very large, they heard the voice of the unfortimate
Dials through the earth; he was calling to them to Hark
by the rope, from which a hueket was suspeudinl. After
three hours' ['boor, they came to the unfortunate sufferer,
who was so firmly fixed in the ruins, that it was duilicult
to move his lege. It is calculated that no less than ten
cart loads of rubbish lay upon him, and yet, it was very
temarkable, he was extricated not only with life, but
without sustaining ail material injury. He was able to
pursue his usual occupatioa oat Monday, having 'oat wily
one day's work by his mitffortuitc.

BOXING.

The match between Fred. Strong, the ilampshire
Blacksmith, and the new Black from Baltimore,
(whom fame had represented as being the rival of
the celebrated ltlolinens) took place early on Tues.-
day morning, on 13urnhans Spa, in the Forest, nine
miles front Farnham, and as early as six in the
morning grouper had assembled to witness the great
combat. Fred. Strong was a tried good ruffian,
with a hide like a bullock. Sam the black had
malleted the blocks of the block-makers on the coast
of Hants, and a purse of 25 guineas was collected
to try with a good one how he liked receiving. He
is under 13 stone, but of Ajax make, and a natural
fighter, with the left hand strait and strong, and
with which he had flattened many a Yankee's smel-
ler. The ring was open, and there was no shifting.
Strong was seconded by young Belhorse, and the
black was seconded by Gee, a caulker.
In the first round the black threw out his strait left hoed at the
head, and followed over and awkwartily with the right, which
skewed that the left only was the mischievous one. Strung, the
lightest man, brok hi, ground, without availing himself of the
black's short blows, and the latter kit upon Ins face with the

This was a gay ti4liting round, which lasted sixteen mi-
nutes before either would go down. Strong uxeived a Iltalt hit
on the forehead with the black's left hand, which sounded like
a hollow surface, and hit I away. On advancing again be

loosened the railing. The black steadied himself fur his left

black, bleed freely, and were piping aloud, when two Johnny
laws appeared with staves like hop poles, to make peace, but the
symbols of authority were used to press the people back, and the
Justices assisnuits seated themselves during the fight. Strong
changed his system of fighting, and that alone won him the
battle. The black hit short, and receirtsl a heavy body blow
which floored him, and put his fighting on one side.
4. Strong was thrown in a close.
A manly rallying round was fought, and both were lut

the scene of many hard fought leuile, which has la-
questionably towtured and prepared those paining qualities
that have since shone with such lustre in the person of
a Randall, was on Monday last the acaldt-ma of as sin-
gular a fight as was ever yet recorded in the annals of
pugilism. AI ilcs from St. Giles, and M'Carty front
Saffron-hill, were the combatants, and the following
are the extramdinary circumstances which led to the
battle. Such of our readers as have sperm any time in
Ireland, must have noticed the intim:nee of that feudal
which to this day exists between particular clans
I/1 the Irish peasantry. It often happens that the resi-
dents of two 'tames (in sonic parts one parish comprises
an extent of eight or ten miles) are at actietl war with
each other; and although as individuals they behave
with the greatest friendship, yet at fairs, or wakes, where
of necessity they assemble in large bodies, 'hey seldom
part without bloodshed, and it is no uncommon thing
for 500 or 1000 wen to be engaged in those broils. Ott
sonic such occasion Miles met the father o. his present
opponent, who was then stricken in years, whilst Miles
was a young man ; but as he had formerly espoused the
cause of that faction, which was hostile to the friends of
the latter, he was deemed a fair foe, and war was made
on hint accordingly. The poor old nim was beaten to
a degree, that if it did not cause his immediate death,
at least accelerated it; but before he expired he sent lOr
Miles, and asked I Ihe would fight his son (his pre-
sent oppoaeat, who was only then tire >ears ald) when
he should come to 114111.3 estate. Miles en,uphed, and
a written agreement was accordingly drawn up, and
respectively sigt.ed for eels party. In a few years
afterwards Miles found it to his advantage to come to
Err:land, and in this country he has since remained.
M'Carty in the meantime grew up a Stout young man,
and considering himself religiously bound to fulfil his
father's List solemn covenant, lie came to England also;
he easily traced out Miles, who did not wish to swerve
Irons the terms of his agreement, although he felt that
the tinkles' hand of time had certainly not improved his
condition. The suns of six guineas was posted as au
additional stake, and at six o'clock on Monday morn.
