CRICKET.

ENGLAND v. SUSSEX (WITH PARR.)
This great match, for the benefit of Lillywhite—a
player whose bowling iu 1827 and 1828 led to a great
alteration in the game—was commenced on Monday
at Lord's, where between 3,000 and 4,000 spectators had
assembled. "England" went to the wicket in the first
instance and scored 128. Sussex then took the bat, and
when " time" was called, had scored 57, with five
wickets down.

The game was resumed yesterday, when something
like 2,000 persons were present to witness the continua-
tion of the play. Parr and Dean commenced operations,
and this innings closed at 80, or 48 less than the oppos-
ing eleven. In due time England entered upon their
second innings, and succeeded so well in this instance as
to put the long score of 227 on the paper. Sussex then
commenced their second innings, with the formidable
number of 275 to tie staring them in the face. When
" time" was called their score was 8. The score stood
as follows :

GREENIVICII REGATTA.

The 76th annual regatta at this favourite place of
summer resort, under the patronage of the Right Hon.
Earl Fitzhardinge, took place on Monday, and, as usual,
attracted many thousand spectators, the banks and the
river presenting a most animated appearance. The race was
in five heats, by six free watermen of Greenwich, for a new
boat value 251., with various money prizes for the other
men. The course extended twice up and down the front
of the town.

For the first heat, which started at half past ten, the
whole of the men started, which after a very hard
struggle was won by Samuel Carter (red), 1 ; George
Hinton (yellow), 2.
The second heat was rowed for at 12 o'clock, and
finished in favour of John Groves (green), 1; Edward
Harvey (pink), 2.
The third heat came off at 3 o'clock, and, like the pre-
ceding one, was well contested, George Hinton (yellow),
being 1, and Edward Harvey (pink) 2.
The fourth heat came off at 5 o'clock, when yellow
again came in first, and green second.
At about 8 o'clock the final heat took place; when
some most splendid sport ensued, the boats keeping
close together, green having but a boat's length lead
till they had gone once round the course, when green's
galley touched him on the quarter and sent him
ashore, which allowed yellow to run away from him,
and come in the winner amidst the loud cheers of the
assembled multitude.

The regatta was one of the best that we have seen for
some time, and reflects great credit upon Messrs. Tho-
mas and Hubbard, who have been the managers for the
last sixteen years.

ST. MARGARET'S AND ST. JOHN'S (WEST-
MINSTER) REGATTA.

Twelve watermen contended on Mon day for a purso sub-
scribed by the residents. The preliminary heats having
been disposed of, the final, one was contested with the
following results :
Thomas Coombes and James Coombes, senior 1
William Mickiff and William Clines. . .

Two other pairs started. It was a good race between
the men whose names are above given, and only won by
a length and a half.

C SELSE.A REGATTA.

for a purse of sovereigns on Monday, with the following

','SDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1853.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—IPSWICH, JULY 26.
(CROWN COURT.—Before Sir Jchn Jervis.)
James IVilding, 19, was charged having maliciously
inflicted grievous bodily harm upon Mr. George Bond,
farmer, of Earl Soham, by fracturing his arm with a
gun-barrel.

On Sunday, the 13th of March, the prosecutor, while
walking round his fields, saw the prisoner running
away, and endeavouring to hide himself by keeping
close to the hedges. He was followed by the prosecutor,
who, after a long chase came up with him, and told
him that he must stop. The prisoner said be should
not do so ; but the prosecutor desired him not to go
away unless "he were the stronger man of the two."
A scuffle took place, which led to the discovery of a gun
concealed under the prisoner's coat. The prisoner was
again requested by the prosecutor to remain where he
was until one of his man-servants came up, but he en-
deavoured to get away, and was resisted by the pro-
secutor. The prisoner, on being so stoutly opposed,
took from his coat pocket a gun-barrel, with which he
struck the prosecutor several times, which resulted in
the right arm of the prosecutor being broken. The case
would have come on at a previous assizes, but for the
serious illness of the prosecutor.
Mr. Mills submitted that there was no case to go to
the jury. He would ask the opinion of the court whether
the prisoner was not acting in his own defence and in
the defence of his property ?
The Judge—Why, the prisoner has said he was sorry
for what he had done. It is a question of fact, and one
for the jury.
Mr. Mills then proceeded to address the jury for the
prisoner, and commenced by stating that the prisoner
had a right to carry a gun if he pleased.
A Juryman (interrupting)—Yes, perhaps the prisoner
had a right to carry a gun, but he had no right to use the
weapon in an unlawful manner.

The Judge (addressing the juror)—You are the better
lawyer of the two. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Mills—But the prisoner had a right to carry a
gun.

The Judge—So has a man a right to carry a cannon ;
but he has no right to fire it off at a man—none what-
ever. (Renewed laughter.)
The Judge, in leaving the case to the jury, said it
would be too bad to allow it to be supposed that because
one man said to another, " You shall not go unless you
are the stronger man," that the other man should be
permitted to take from his pocket a gun barrel or any
other dangerous weapon and inflict an injury with im-
punity.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, with a recommen-
dation to mercy. The prosecutor also joined in the re•
commendation.

The prisoner was sentenced to two calendar months
imprisonment, with hard labour.
