PUGILISM.

808 BRETTLE, Or BIRMINGHAM, AND JOHN ROOKE, OP
BIRMINGHAM, FOR £loo.—Pursuant to the arrangement
made by the referee, these men met yesterday, for the
second time, when, after a journey of some 50 miles from
the metropolis, the ring was formed by the commissary on
Well-known ground, which, however, has not of late been
visited. Brettle had for his seconds Joe Wareham, of Bir-
mingham, and Boa Tyler, the latter having taken the place
of Bob Travers (the black), who, the preceding day, bad
the misfortune to fall into the river, while Joe Cobley, and
a well-known retired member of the ring did the needful
for Rooke. By 20 minutes to n o'clock the toilets of the
men had been completed, and just before going to the
ecratch, they la'd an even teener on the result. Though,
round the ring, Brettle was the favourite, at 5 to 4, it was
imagined Rooke, profiting from the fault committed at
their former meeting, would, from the commencement,
have forced the fighting, and avoided giving his oppo-
nent the least time for rest and manoeuvring; but instead
of pursuing these tactics, which gave promise of gaining
a leading advantage, he, to the surprise and annoyance of
his partisans, adopted the cautious tactics of their two former
Meetines, and kept entirely on the defensive, merely holding
himself ready to counter when his antagonist led. Bob
ilrettle, of course, was not disposed to throw away the least
advantage his skill and experience might give. It must be
borne in mind that Rooke had the advantage in height and
reach, and why he did not make an effort to force the battle
appears incomprehensible, and more especially as in the little
fighting that did take place when the men got together he
bad a shade the best of it. Had Rooke been opposed to
any other man than his old master, from whom he took his
first initiatory lessons in the art, there can be little doubt
he would, as he has done before, make a rattling mill, for
it is known he is by no means deficient in courage; but
with Brettle he appeared totally incapable of displaying
anything like the requisite dash and energy. In the whole
four long and tedious rounds were got through, in the last
of which the referee, finding the men stood looking at each
other instead of getting to business, gave them a quarter of
an hour to get to work. If nothing was done at the expi-
ration of that, time he would declare it a draw. There was
not in the given time anything like business effected, there-
fore the affair ended in a drawn battle, the combatants
having been in the ring one hour and 40 minutes. It is
almost needless to state that all bets are off.

MEMORIAL TO THE LATE Ma. ROBT. STEPHEN-
C.E.—A beautiful memorial in the form of a "brass"
has been let into the nave of Westminster Abbey, midway
between the western entrance and the choir screen, to the
illet"TY of the above distinguished engineer, who, it will bo

LAW IA TELLIGENCE.---(This Day.)

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)
BURROUGHS V. BURROUGHS AND SILCOCK.

Thi morciug Sir F. Slade replied on the part of the
petitioner, Mr. Burroughs, and the Judge Fummed up the
evidence.

The jury retired to consider their verdict at five minutes
to three, and on their return, at five minutes to six, came
into court and returned the following verdict :
" Ist. That it had not been proved Mrs. Burroughs had
been guility of adultery with the co-respondent.
" 2d. That it had not been proved that Mr. Burroughs
had been guilty of adultery with Miss West, Mrs. Black-
burne, and Ellen Reed."

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

POUND V. HALL AND OTHERS.-WHARPINGERS AND

BONDED GOODS--IMPORTANT MERCANTILE INQUIRY.

This was an action to recover £4 18s. under somewhat
important circumstances, plaintiff being an extensive wine
and spirit merchant, of Ccoper's-row, Trinity-square, and
defendants, the well known wharfingers of Custom House
Quay.

Plaintiff said that he had brought forward this case en-
tirely on public grounds, as it was a somewhat serious
matter. Some brandies, bonded in defendants' warehouses,
had lost, in five months, in liquid and strength no less than
fourteen proof gallons. And as the defendants had only
offered £2, plaintiff felt justified in trying the question.
Mr. White, Customs' guager, said he guaged the brandy
in November last, it having been landed in June, and he
found the loss to be 14 proof gallons. The average loss was
1 per cent. per annum, but this was a very inferior kind of
spirit, and evaporated more quickly than a finer kind. The
deficiency was large, but there were 30 sampling orders,and
some tasting orders. Therefore the deficiency might be
accounted for. Under other circumstances witnesses
should have repotted the case to his superiors. The Cus-
toms allowed three gills to each sample, but with waste it
would be nearer five gills. The casks are very deficient.
Cross-examined by Mr. Jacobs, for defendants—l do not
consider the deficiency excessive. No one could get into
the vaults unless with the officer.

Mr. Pound— You say the average loss upon spirits is 1
per cent. Are you aware that the loss on these is 17 per
cent

Witness—lt may be so.

Mr. Pound—Then I hope it will go forth that you do not
consider 17 per cent. excessive.
The broker who sold the spirits to Mr. Pound said the
quality was " good common brandy," and all spirits evapo-
rated alike.

Mr. Pound could call evidence as to the casks.

The Judge—The gauger's evidence is conclusive against
you. Besides, if any of defendants' servants got into the
vaults, how do you make Messrs. Hall liable P
Mr. Pound—That has been decided.

The Judge—lf defendants' servants pillaged your brandy,
and from the evidence they did not, defendants are not
liable. ..

Mr. Pound—Very well. I only wish to do my duty with
the public, and I consider that the brandy has been pillaged,
and I hope it will go forth that 17 per cent. is not consi-
dered excessive.

The Judge—The deficiency is accounted for, no one
gett ug into the vaults except with an officer.
Mr. Pound—l beg to say that is not correct, as I have
been in myself and with no Customs officer.
The Judge finally ruled that defendants were entitled
to a verdict with costs.
Verdict for defendants.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)
4-

BOW-STREET.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.--Two young men, named
William and James Bryan, were charged with assaulting
the police.
Police-constable 6 F said—This morning, about half-past
4, I found the prisoner William Bryan quarrelling with
another person about a coat. I told them to go away, but
instead of doing so Bryan turned and struck me a violent
blow on the temple. A struggle took place, when James
Bryan came up, and he also struck me. Another constable
came up, and both were secured.
The evidence having been confirmed,
Both prisoners said the policeman had been drinking rum
in a public-house, and because they had told him of it, he
took them into custody.

101 i

The Magistrate fined them 10s. each, or 14 days' im-
prisonment.
CATCHING A TARTAR.—Thomas Sturges and Henry
Stearm were charged with picking pockets, and assaulting
Professor Harrison, "one of the strongest men in the
world."

Sergeant Holmes of the F division, said—This morning
about half-past 11 he saw the prisoners following gentle-
men in Long-acre. Curtis, after examining the pockets of a
gentleman, he put his left hand into the left side pocket
and drew a silk handkerchief therefrom. Sturges was
acting as covering him. I crossed over with the intention
of taking the prisoner into custody, but they both ran off.
Mr. Harrison, the gentleman I was in conversation with,
followed one of the men, whilst I pursued the other. On
Mr. Harrison coming up with Stearm he assaulted him. I
found two handkerchiefs on the person of Stearm, and one
down the leg of Sturgis.

11f
2f

Mr. Harrison, landlord of tho Opera Stores, Brydges-
street, said—My attention to the pocket-picking was
directed by Holmes. After the handkerchief had been
taken I saw Holmes run after Sturges, and I followed
Stearm. On coming up with him he struck a blow, and,
in attempting to secure him by the collar, my fist went
against his nose. (Laughter.)
Stearm--Went against my nose I why, it was a regular
hot 'tin. He clawed my face, your worship, and nearly
choked me. _ _ _

Sturges said nothing in answer to the charge.
Both prisoners were remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A " MRS. Gmur."—Elizabeth Williams, an old Scotch-
woman, was charged before Mr. Yardley with being drunk
and begging.

The defendant, who has been charged at this court about
150 times with drunkenness and begging, is a monthly
nurse, and is a source of great trouble to the police.
Buvey, 85 C, proved seeiug the defendant seize hold of a
gentleman and beg, being drunk at the time.

_
Mr. Yardley—Why, here you are again. It is only
about a week ago since you were here last.
Barnes, the gaoler, said that the defendant had been three
times to the court since his worship last committed her for
a month.

Defendant, with a broad Scotch accent, said she had been
suddenly called out to one of her ladies. Flu) didn't want
to beg, as she had an income as long as she lived from her
mother's brother, James Thompson.
Mr. Yardley—You are one of the most expensive bur-
dens in the kingdom, as you pass the greater part of your
time in prison. I shall see if we can't get some of your
means and apply it to support you while in prison.
Defendant—The police insult me by calling me "Mother
Williams."

Mr. Yardley—lf any one does so I will punish them ;
but you have told me so many lies when you have been
before me that I cannot believe you.
Defendant—lndeed I know myself better. I had better
bringings up than to tell lies. (Laughter.)
Bovey said she was so drunk that she could scarcely
walk.

Defendant—l'm a nurse, and upon my honour I had only
had a cup of tea. I hope I know myself better than to
drink. (Laughter.)

Mr. Yardley—l shall commit you for three days.
—Defendant—When I come out I'll—

Mr. Yardley—What P
Defendant (who evidently was swatch for the magistrate),
after a pause—Come and see you again. (Loud laughter.)
Defendant left the bar evidently pleased at escaping a
longer term of imprisonment.

THE MANSLAUGHTER BY A PARIVI'DOCTOR.

This morning the adjourned inquest on Mrs. Cruse was
held by Mr. John Humphreys, at the Salisbury Arms,
Eastfield-street, Limehouse. The facts led to the conclu-
sion that Mr. Frederick Robinson, surgeon, of 10, Wilson-•
street, Limehouse, and ono of the medical effects of Stepney
-Union, had been guilty of undue care and gross neglect in
his attendance on the woman in question when he was
called on to attend her about two hours after her delivery,
and, that in doing so, he so fax did not exercise due pro-
fessional skill, but caused her death. The jury, after a
short consultation, returned a verdict of " manslaughter"
against Mr. Robinson, who was at once committed on the
coroner's warrant.
