(From Bell's Life.)
JEM MACE AND AN UNILNOWN.—This affair, We regret
to say, begins to look extremely " fishy." It may be re-
collected when_ the match was first made we 'stated that ru-
mours were current that the Unknown was a myth, Olt
forward by Mace, in order to gain time towards his hold-
ing the belt. These rumours we then said we believe(
were unfounded, as we could not see wherein the advan-
tage would lie, as no time would count unless Jesse won a
battle. Notwithstanding this, the rumours still prevailed,
and we were assured that Mace was getting money in every
direction Irons his friends, but that eventually there would
be a forfeit. To this we replied cuibono ? It the Uukfrown
„,
forteits ,o,tree will clearly gain nothing, as he must, in that
case, return the money he obtains from his friends ; while,
1 ( n the other hand, if Jeru forfeits everyone will know it is
not from want of money, but sheerly for the purpose of
fleecing all those whom he has found to back him, and
this was a policy he was not likely to. adopt. Still was the
same thing dinned into our ears, and we were pesitivell
assured that the Unknown did not exist, as we should see.
We regret, extremely now to say that the progress of events
has taken an awkward turn. In our last we announced
that Mace was at Jack Hicks's on the occasion of the last
deposit, but that neither the Unknown nor any of his
friends appaared. Owing to the bustle attendant on the
preparations for the procession on Saturday, it somehow
escaped our memory to inquire whether the Unknown or
Mr. Bernard on his behalf had staked the money with our
cashier, and it was not until too late to do anything lest
week that we made the discovery that he had not done 50'
Under the circumstances of course Mace is entitled to a
forfeit, should he see fit to claim it. On Friday we
received a letter from Mr. Bernard, the nomiuM
backer of the Unknown, saying hebad not heard from Nes°
York by the last mail, and did not like to put down all
more money, and would forfeit unless we would give hirn
till the 18th, when there would be another mail in. 1°
this letter there was no address, and as we know nothing
more of Mr. Bernard than his name it was of course un-
likely we should accede to his request, more especially as l
was to Mace he should have applied for time instead of to
us, as the forfeit was then an accomplished fact. It now
remains, therefore, to be seen whether, in Ihe face of the
rumours so prevalent, Mace will claim the forfeit, and a°
throw himself open to the accusations that are certain to 19°
made, or whether he will give the desired time to Mr. Bar-
nard to go on. It would be very hard upon Mace to pro.'
nounce the whole thing a scheme on his part, as he has all
along denied all knowledge of the American party, nor hoe
anything reached our ears beyond rumours to indicate COta:
plicity on his part. 'We certainly have instituted inquirleef
in every direction in the hope of discovering some news c:
the Unknown, but with the exception of a tip from Shef-
field that it was one Ned Price who once fought Australian
Kelly, we could hear of nobody at all probable as a cuat°:
mer. It is awkward, to ray the least of it, that the bile:
ness should wear such a suspicious aspect, and we trn 6`
that another week will clear it up. We offer no opinioi./
whatever at present, and the manner in which the affair 10
handled by Mace himself will have much to do with the
treatment of the position we shall have to adopt. The.
Mace is entitled to forfeit we again say is quite clear. 1110
own feelings on the subject must be his guide in the matter,
If innocent, which we have no reason to doubt, it would b°
hard that he should forego the forfeit ; if the contrary, it
le
a dangerous game, and one which will infallibly lose WO
all his well-earned laurels. '
