RIBA N DISM.

The Cork Reporter does not believe that the,
Riband conspiracy has made any headway in that
county ; at the same time this admission is made--
" We know that large draughts of soldiers are
being despatched to the towns in the west of this
county, for the purpose of subjugating the lawless
spirit said to be prevalent there. Now, we do not
desire either to under-rate or over-rate the exact
fact about the disturbed feeling which exists. The
truth is this, which we have from the most reliable
and respectable authority—a notion of insubordina-
tion grew into the margin of this county from
Kerry, spread at fairs and such like gatherings,
and it was only embraced by labourers who were
allured by high wages, strangers, and vagabonds;
but no man who had anything to lose had anY
part in it."

The following has been handed to the British and
Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company for transmis-

tion Company, _ _

THE FATAL PRIZE FIGHT AT ABBEY-

WOOD.

Samuel Asquith, aged 16, described as a skinner,
residing at 3, Child's-cottages, Blue Anchor-road,
Bermondsey, was placed at the bar of the Wool-
wich Police-court, before Mr. Traill, on a remanded
charge of the manslaughter of Geo. D. M'Donald,
at
_Abbey-wood, on Sunday last ; and James Walsh,
landlord of the Griffin public-house, Church-street,
Southwark, appeared in discharge of his recogni-
sances to answer the charge of aiding and abetting
the prize fight, which resulted in the death of
'M'Donald.

Mr. Binns' solicitor, defended the prisoner
Asquith, and Mr. King appeared for Walsh.
Mr. Trail said he would first receive evidence
with regard to Walsh if any witnesses were in
attendance.

Police-sergeant Best, 21 R, said he had not been
able to procure any positive evidence to prove that
Walsh was the stakeholder, but Walsh had ad-
mitted this fact whilst in custody at the Erith
station-house.

Police-constable George Hasler deposed that on
Wednesday evening last he had charge of the
prisoner Walsh at the Erith station-house, and
the prisoner admitted that the stakes were to be
paid over on the following Monday. Witness
asked him if he was present at the fight, and he
replied that he was not.
Mr. Traill said manslaughter was supposed to be
an unpremeditated crime ; but all those who aided
and assisted in the commission of an act which
caused manslaughter were liable to be indicted, and
might be convicted for such an offence. In this
the evidence was not very conclusive as against
Walsh; but he (the magistrate) should require him
to find two sureties in £lO each for his good beha.
viour for six months.

The necessary sureties were then produced, and
such bail being accepted Walsh was discharged.
Police-sergeant Best then repeated his former
evidence, to the effect, that on hearing of the prize
fight on the previous Sunday he proceeded to Abbe
wood, and found the deceased George M‘Donalu
lying at the Harrow Inn in a very bad state.
Witness procured a surgeon, by whose advice the
man was conveyed to Guy's ospital. The witness
then proved apprehending the prisoner on Sundig
night, at the Duke of Sussex Tavern, Grange-To 1
Bermondsey, when the prisoner informed him that
the fight was for £5 a-side, and that Jemmy Waist',
of the Griffin, and Coomber, landlord of the Kentish
Waggoners, ent-road, Borough, tossed up to decide
who should hold the stakes, and the toss was w°ll
by Walsh.
Robert Miles, tanner, of Grange-road, Bermen,d"
sey, deposed—On the previdus Sunday morning De,
'
accompanied the prisoner, the deceased, and about
50 persons, by train to Abbey-wood. They Iv"
into the Marshes, where a ring was formed and a
fight took place. The fight lasted about 35 minutes,
and in the last round the deceased was thrown 0",
the prisoner. The deceased fell on his back, and
the prisoner fell over him. The deceased was lin'
able to get up, and said, ‘, Save my life, I gel,
dying." His seconds then dressed the deceased,
and carried him to the Harrow public-house.
George Baker, a labourer, residing at Abho'
wood, deposed—On the previqus Sunday morning
he saw a mob in the Marshes, and went to the spot
where he found about 70 persons, and that a fig";
was taking place. In the last round the deceased
was thrown with great violence on his back, an d
gasped for breath. Four men then conveyed lit
away on their shoulders.
were,
The depositions of the several witnesses
chef
then formally taken by Mr. Bousterd, the
clerk, and the prisoner was fully committed for
trial—an application on the part of Mr. Bin" I
bail being refused.
