PRIZE-FIGHTFRS AT ELECTIONS.

Henry Broome, "champion of all England,"
was placed at the bar of the Southaurpt3n Petty
Sessions, charged with fighting in the High-street.
Mr. Pocock, for the defendant, asked who was
the prosecutor ?
No ono appeared, and he then asked for the
party who took him into custody.
P. S. Ralfe stepped forward.
Mr. Pocock—Are you the prosecutor ? Ralfe—
I him into custody.
Mr. Pocock—Did he strike you ? Ralfe—No.
Mr. Pocock—Then you can't prosecute. It is a
most serious charge, and notwithstanding the gene-
ral assiduity of the police they have in this case
overstepped their duty. I can show by act of Par-
liament that it was not only lawful but laudable to
defend themselves with their fists, instead of using
cowardly weapons.

This announcement seemed to surprise all in
Court, and in the absence of any prosecutor, the
defendant was discharged, amidst the chtors of
those " waiting at Court !"--Poole Herald.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT REIGATE.—A man Wad
found lying insensible in a shed, in a field opposite Cam-
den Chapel, at Camberwell, at 11 o'clock on Tuesday
morning, and on being removed to the workhouse, re-
covered, and said he was Robert Bray, of Montreal, a
sailor, and having been left behind at Southampton, by
his vessel, he had walked up to Loudon. His appear-
ance much resembled the description of the man who
shot and robbed Mr. Ovenden, at Reigate, last week.
At the rerrest of the police, he has, therefore, been de-
tainer. Mr. Ovenden remains, we regret to learn, in a
very precarious state, as the ball has not yet been ex-
tracted.
