On. Monday morning a pugilistic encounter took place near
Erakine Ferry, on the Clyde. The combatants were Irish-
men, and came from the Saltmarket of Glasgow. Every-
thh ig was carried on according to the most inviolate rules
of the prize ring. Round followed after round, the com-
batants being cheered on by their respective supporters
nut it a full hour passed on, at the end of which time Reid,
mutilated and disfigured by the blows of his opponent, fell
to the ground completely exhausted and gave in. His
friends carried him (for he was totally unable to walk) to
the ban at the ferry, where, from the mortal injuries he Bus-
t aine d during the fight, W 3 died in the course of a few hours.
Ichlan is a young man of about 22 years of age, and
Reid was somewhat younger, Death was occasioned byre
blow received by deceased on the temples. The body was
cony eyed to Glasgow on Tuesday. The police are still on
the look-out for M'Lachlan, who has absconded. Deceased,
who Baas a powerful man, fought successfully a well-known
pugilist, named Mooney, near Glasgow, about two months
ago,- —.Edinburgh Courant.
