PUGILISM.

MARTIN AND BANNISH'S CONTEST ON TUESDAY.—The
umpires and referee in this affair met yesterday, according to
appointment, when, after some discussion as to doubling the
stakes for another meeting, which was refused on the part of
Martin (although his readiness for a fresh match for 251. or
50/. a side was declared), it was resolved to enforce the 9th
rule (of late so ruinously lost sight of), and award the stakes
to " the man who, at the time of the interruption, had the
best of the battle." This was decided to be Martin, wbo
will accordingly receive the reward of victory on Tuesday
next, at his head-quarters in Doctors-Commons. For the
benefit of such as may not be aware of the regulation, we
append it at length. IX. That on no consideration what-
ever shall any person (except the men and their appointed
seconds) be permitted to enter the ring during the battle, or
till it should have concluded: and that, i n the event of such
unfair practice, or the ropes and stakes being disturbed or
removed, it shall be in the power of the umpire and referee
to award the victory to that man who, in their honest opinion
shall have the best of the contest." It is hoped that this en-
forcement of the laws of fair play will prove a wholesome pre-
ventive of the late prevalent disgraceful practices.
BROONEE AND TERRY'S AFFAIE.—This long-vexed question
has at length found a solution such has might be anticipated.
The parties have agreed (hopeless of a decision) to draw
stakes. Harry Broome has therefore received his battle-
money from the stakeholder, and Terry having done the
same, all bets are off, and " all is nought, as nought had ever
been." This " lame mad impotent conclusion" was, perhaps,
to be anticipated, but although distasteful to every lover of
fair play, is, perhaps, the best that could be made of a bad
case.

SENTENCE ON MR. BROWNE, FOR BIGAMY.

This day the judges ruled the books in the presence of an
unusually crowded court. Many persons of high respecta-
bility were present who were interested in the fate of Mr.
Browne and Mr. Saunders. There appeared to be a general
opinion that a motion in arrest of judgment on the former
would be made, and granted, on the points raised in the
course of his trial. No such motion was made, but the
prisoner put in an affidavit in mitigation of punishment, in
which he swore he was under age when his first marriage
was celebrated.

Baron RICHARDSON addressed the unfortunate young man
in a most affecting strain, closely reviewing the circumstances
and progress of his case. Yielding to the wishes of his coun-
sel, they had submitted the points raised in his favour to the
twelve judges, and those learned personages quite agreed
with him (Baron Richardson) that the conviction was per-
fectly just and legal. The Learned Baron concluded by sen-
tencing the prisoner to be transported for seven years.
Mr. Browne, who appeared deadly pale and much de-
pressed, merely bowed to the Court and retired to the back of
the dock.
Several members of the family wept bitterly towards the
conclusion of this severe, but just sentence.
The case of Mr. Serjeant, convicted of forging a bill of ex-
change on the late Gen. Saunders, also attracted much • atten-
tion. The sentence upon him was seven years' transportation.
A fact in reference to this person may not 13i deemed out
of place here. It appears that in the year 1821 he was con-
victed of forgery, and was under sentence of transportation
when George the Fourth was in Ireland. On the occasion of
his Majesty's departure from Kingstown Harbour, and while
the royal barge was getting under weigh, amid the acclama-
tions of the assembled multitude, a respectably-attired female
with a paper in her hand, dashed wildly into the water in the
hope of reaching the barge. The King exclaimed "ON

Pending the inquiry which will be instituted, it would not
be advisable to allude to what are supposed to be the grounds'
of Mr. Butt's reflections upon Mr. Jackson ~ but the public
should suspend their judgment on the matter, as it appears
at present Mr. Butt has retained Mr. Warren, and other
eminent counsel, and he is determined to the utmost of his
power to preserve the bar from the hostile messages of belli-
gerent attorneys, while it acts within the fair and legitimate
course which he himself pursued in this case.
