' BOXERS.
BRISTOL, Nov. 27. Yesterday being the day for Spring and
Nears match to have taken place, the friends of Neat•met in
the evening at the Fives Court, where they had some time ago
intended to have dined, but the match being off, they put the
dinner off. Neat was particularly well received. One Gen-
tleman offered to stake 2001. on Neat, if the fight was to take
place. Neat said he was anxious to fight, and if the .1501: for-
feit was paid him, he would fight Spring, or any man in Eng-
land, in a month from the time a match was made, but not
sooner, as he had been living very free for the last ten days,
and would not allow any man to take advantage of him. He
also remembered that he had been running about the country,
and had been put to great expellee ; he therefore would not
dance up to London, but fight within forty miles of Bristol.—
He is anxious to hear from his friend Belcher, but supposes
Tom is waiting to receive the 150/. forfeit on the late match.

Mr. Prsuop, who some years since was Master
of Merchant Taylors' School, being requested by a friend to
pay particular attention to his son's education, made the follow-
ing reply :"My dear Sir, my mode is to throw the learning
I possess among the boys, to be scrambled for ; and of• course
those who are the most shrewd and the most alert will pick up
the largest portion."
NEW MARRIAGE ACT. On Sunday morning, after the
sermon, at the parish Church of Allhallows, Goldsmith-street,
, Exeter, the Rev. Mr. Vicars gave notice that he should then
• yroceed to read the New Marriage Act, upon which announce-
ment, the whole congregation, with the exception of the Clerk
and Sexton, immediately quitted the Church.

[FROM THE HOBART TOWN GAZETTE, JULY 13, 1822.1

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S COURT, JULY 8.

WILLIAM SHOOBRIDGE v. JOHN FOREMAN.

This action excited considerable interest, and we publish the
substance of it for general information. The plaintiff in the
present case was a steerage passenger, with his family, on board
the Denmark Hill, bound to this colony, where he came to be a
settler ; the defendant was master of the ship. It appeared ghat
the plaintiff had paid 200/. for his passage and accommodations,
and was to be supplied by the defendant with a weekly ration of
salted meat, biscuit, water, &c. according to a schedule pro-
duced ; but the Captain did not fulfil his agreement, as the
plaintiff was deficient in the weight and measure of his provi-
sions and water; and one item, viz. vinegar, lie never re-
ceived at all, a most essential article to parsons like the
plaintiff and his family, who lived almost entirely on salt
meat. The plaintiff frequently applied to the Captain to
redress his grievances, but • all was unavailing; the plain-
tiff was also not allowed to use the fire but at certain
times, although pressed repeatedly, as it could have been
done without interfering with any one ; and what made
the matter more distressing to the plaintiff's feelings, 'he
bad a wife and two children sick a part of the voyage, re-
quired a little more than ordinary the use of the fire-place to
warm such things as the plaintiff thought necessary in their
afflicted case. He ventured to remonstrate with the Captain on
his conduct upon this, and upon his not complying generally
with the terms of his agreement ; but it had no other effect than
to produce a,positive refusal, accompanied by unpleasant alter-
cation. His suffering wife and two of his children died on the
sea, about two months after they left England.—The plaintiff
now came before the Court to seek some reparation for the in-
juries received. The defendant's evidence, upon the whole,
rather confirmed the plaintiff's statement.—The Court
_gave
a verdict for the plaintiff to the amount of his demand—
Damages 501.
