THE APPLICATION FOR BAIL FOR
ALLEN-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET POLICE COURT.

This afternoon Mr. Abrams, who has been en-
gaged for Allen, attended before Sir Thomas
Henry with respect to the accepting of bail for t')e
future goal behaviour of his client, now an inmate
of the House of Decntion in dvf mit of bail.

Inspector Silverton was present.
Mr. Abrams, addressing the Chief Magistrate,
said—l appear, sir, in accordance with the intima-
tion I gave yesterday, to ask that the amount of bail
might be reduced from the present high figure at
which it s 1 ands.

Sir T. ILnry—After the consideration I have
given to the case, I shall de::i ledly refuse to make
any alteration in the amount of surety require].
Mr. Abrams—That being your determination I
shall not refer further to the matter. I have now
to propose Mr. Nat Langham, the proprietor of the
Mitre Tavern, St. Martin's-lane, as one of the per-
sons ready to become surety for Allen.
Inspector S:lverton—l have no objection to Mr.
Langham.
Mr. Abrams—The name of the other person I
have to offer is Mr. William Brown, proprietor of
the Railway Tavern, Green-gate, Manchester.
Sir T. Henry to Inspector Silverton—Th you
know anything respecting the person just men-
tioned ?

Inspector Silverton—No, Sir Thomas, nothing
beyond the fact that Mr. Brown, who is in attend-
ance, has been identified by Mr. Langham as the
proprietor of the Railway Tavern at Manchester.
Sir T. Henry—l don't feel inclined to accept Mr.
Brown as bail before some inquiry has been made
about him. It appears to me, speaking from
what occurred on the last occasion when
a similar application was before me, that
of Mace, who was matched to fight O'Baldwin,
that bail without it was of a very substantial and
heavy amount, never deterred personsfrorn going on
with these prize fights. On the contrary they en-
deavoured to break the law on every occasion that
presented itself, notwithstanding the steps taken to
prevent it. The Government, however, were de-
termined to put these contests down, and I shall not
take upon myself the responsibility of admitting Allen
to bail on the surety of Mr. Brown, until some
inquiry has been made that he is solvent and a per-
son of responsibility. Inspector Silverton, you will
make the necessary inquiries. On receiving further
information from you I shall determine what to do,
but not-before.

Inspector Silverton—l shall at once set about
making the necessary inquiries.
Mr. Abrams—lf I find another person of respec-
tability residing in London willing to become bail,
will you accept him if Inspector Silverton is satis-
fied that he is a safe and solvent person.

Sir T. Henry—Certainly. I have no desire to
keep any one in custody longer than is absolutely
necessary. Ido hope, however, that the other man
Goss will be apprehended by the police and brought
before me that I may bind over both men to keep
the peace.
Inspector Silverton—lnspector Tanner and I
have been taking steps to secure such an event. I
have no doubt but that, before a very few hours
expire, Goss will be in custody.
Mr. Abrams—l have in the strongest manner
again to urge you, Sir Thomas, to accept the bail
I have already tendered. Allen, you will recollect,
has been in custody ever since SAturday, and has
been for many hours locked up in a cell ; and
altogether he is in such a condition as altogether to
preclude his app2aring as', one of the actors
in a fight for the championship.
Sir Thomas henry—l don't feel sure about that.
Mr. Abramm—The hour appointed for the fight
has passed, and therefore by the regulations of the
ring the fight would be off.
Sir Thomas lienry—Yes, but fresh regulations
could very easily be made. do not feel at all in-
clined to alter, the decision I have already come to
in the case.

Mr. Abrams—Very well, Sir TllOllll3. I will do
all I can, and if I should succeJd in finding a re-
sponsible person living iu London before you leave
the court I will make another application, other-
wise I will attend before you to-morrow to know
the result of the inquiries of Inspector Silverton.

No further application was mad.; up to the rising
of the court.

It appeared to be the general opinion of all en-
gaged in the matter that Allen wouli not under any
circumstances be released until Goss had been taken
and bound over to keep the peace towards all her
Majesty's subjects.
