PUGILISM:

Particulars of the late Fight between Jirrugds, the Irish-
man, and Samson, the Manchester hero, which took
play? at Marclesfield, on Monday, August 21, 1820.
Early on Momlay morning the Placelesfield fancy were on
the Merl, as the important whisper had gone forth, that Tom
Reynolds, the Irish Pugilist; and Salmon, the hero of the
Manchester light ones were to fight fur purse of fifty
pounds. By one o'clock, several of the Corinthimi fanciers
bad arrived from Manchester and Warrington, and the
li:tillers were fast Mashing is from the country, on their
!narrow hour once, all eager lo see the sport of the
day: By two o'clock the Luslinig Crib of • celebrated ama-
teur was filled by • variety of characters, from the modern
Greek to the humble costermonger, anxious for the cum.

selves comfortable in she mean while, pealed behind their

wish copious draughts of the Wilderspool heavy : while
amongst the higher flight I.beral libations of Hodge's Mee ruin
flew about in all direction', so that the sirenr might be
fairly said to be in IVO spirits before They took the field.—
Precisely at three o'clock they were drove to the ground,
Salmon by his seconds, and Reynolds by a Gentleman sins-
tear. Before their arrival, some hundreds of the audience
had occupied the giuusid, bet in a few minutes en inner and
an outer ring were formed, and hatidsoinely staked out. Sal-
mon ors the first who sprung into the witless, and immedi-
ately hurl. d up his castor with an air of confidence; Rey.
noble coolly tied to one of the stakes the green colours of

prelienisiaris is of shaking hands, and bowing to the audience,
the men set to. Salmon appeared the timeliest man, though
he is oh, to be the heavier; bat it was well known to Rey-
nolds's Irked', that he (Reynolds) was not in fighting eon-
dition. He was, however, knows' to be an out-and order.
His fight with the gellaid !Masco, in July, 1517, and after.
wards with Church, a glutton of no small appetite, together
with the style with which he disposed of the Canterbury
Gipsy, had established his fame as the first boxer among
the light weights, Randall, the Nonpareil, Daly excepted.

WILLIAMSON. BAST. a. MATHEWS. JUN.
This action was brought to try the right of Sir
Hedworth Williamson, Bart. to a certain quay at
Munkwearmouth slime. It appears the Defendant
procured a quantity of smiles to be laid on the quay
in question, without the Plaintiff's consent, and
took them sway afro without his authority. The
Pleintiff contended, that uo person had any right
to lay on any thing, not only without paying him so
acknowledgment, but even then not without WS per-
iniesion, and that all stouts, ballast. &c. so landed
on the quay became his property. This right had
newer been disputed since the tune of Charles I I. and
the prevent proprietor and his ancestors had exercised
all possible acts of ownership, us repairing the quay,
receiving compensation file the use of it in any way,
for makiug any erection, building ducks, and
letting small parts of it as well as the right of re-
ceiving the duties in question.
John Givens has been agent to Sir Hedworth
Williamson and the family above thirty year'. He
knows the quay in question ; it is the property of the
Plaintiff, and extends a mile above and two miles
below where trespass was committed. They receive
hall-a-guinea from each ship Which lies up at the quay
wiz weeks; witness recrivesalso what is called postage
or cis. from each ship that comes alongside, and Id.
for every cast of coals. Part of tins quay is left for
peoele to sell coals; for three places they receive
341. • year rent. The late Sir H. Williemwn erre t.
ed three cranes on it. There is a board put up at
his office, which states that ballast is to he taken on
to the quay st is. 64. a ton, at the crane at 2% a
ton, and not without leave from the office. 'there
is a cluck ou the quay, erected also by Sir H. Wil-
hamson.
Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—Witness is
quay-keeper himself. Welch a not steward, but
collector of postage, and gets ships to and from the
cranes when they come with b.illast. Ile told Ma-
thews not to heave any ballast ou the quay without
leave • any person may lay on ballast tail paying
6;1. • tots. It is not usual to being a 11. note
at the time to pay fur die lauding.
George Wanlrss, aged G7.—My mother was a
tenant of the ballast quay thirty years ago for nine-
teen years. No person claimed any right Ihris but
her. She received 10t1. sud ls. fur kiting people
put their ballast on the quay, mud sand ; and for
postage, or when a ship moored, she received 2..
and if she remained for six weeks, lOs. lid. Nu
person ever used the quay without paying. He
remeinbeis a sailor biiiignig a chest on shore when
old Sir Hedworth was standing en the quay ; he
sent him to deinsiad •n acknowledgment, and the
sailor paid him a peony. There are now ship-yards
on the part of his mother, tenanted from Sir IL
Williamson.
On

....a-examination, he 3aid people always had
leave to land goods if they were willing to pay.
Andrew Walker had occupied a pert of the quay
to sell coals, for which he paid 51. a-year.
John Cooke, stone-mason, raked leave when he
landed stones to build on Sir Fledwortlea premises.
Wut. We!ford was a cart-man to the Defendant
in September last, and carted away stones from the
quay for him ; was interrupted by Givens; told
Mathews, and he told witness to lead on, ►aying,
they could not hurt him as long as he paid the
whaifirge. He ►uppoees Welch is the quay-keeper.
William Welch is collector of postage, and re-
members the sloop coming to the quay with the
atones fur Mathews. He saw Mathews put the
stones into the cart, and told lam. it' lie did so lie
Wait pry the same us for ballast like other people,
or go to the office for further information. He
asked evilness leave to put them on the quay, and
he said, " not without paying Is. 6.1. came as bal-
last." Ile does not know whether the [Melaka
paid the dues in the office, but admiited he saw
him come out with a paper like a bill of charges.
Mr. Thomas Bruntiug proved the notice to the
Defendant to desist.
Mr. Baoutfliwts, in addressing the Jury for the
defence, observed that the case was now reduced
within very narrow Limits. Ile did not contend,
though the quay in question was a public quay,
that it was not private property. But lie contend-
ed, and the witnesses for the Plaintiff, %Veldt in
particular. had fully proved that the Defendant
had the leave and license of the Plaintiff for whet
he did. If the dues had not been paid, in ill pro-
bability the clerks of the office would have proved
it, best whether or not, the argument was the mine.
The Learned Judge summed up. and observed
that, supposing leave was given to lay the •tours
on the quay, had the Defendant, a right to lead
them awry? It seemed to resolve itself into this—
if a person comes and knocks at my dour. it' after
askiug and obtaining admission fur a particular pur-
pose, besides doiug that lie commits some other
wrong. can I have 013 action?
The Joey, alter a short deliberation, returned a
verdict for the r4eintiff—Datwages fs.

The workfare emptoyed in the smelling of copper ore at
theassemstrark fur wages lieu days ago. About tweuty of
