THE IMENDED PRIZE FIGII7'.

--ii- -

This afternoon Hooke, who was on Saturday
apprehended by Inspector George Silverton and
Sergt. Pahner at Watford, on a warrant charging
him with being about to commit a breach of the
peace by engaging in a prize fight for £25 aside
with a man named Goller, was brought to Bow-
street Police-court in order to put in bail for
future good conduct. Twenty-four hours' notice
having been given to Inspector Silverton of the
names of the parties offering themselves, inquiry
had been mtde, and, in answer to Mr. Flowers, the
magistrate, Inspector Silverton said he was quite
satisfied that the bail tendered was of a responsible
description, and therefore the prisoner might safely
be allowed to go at liberty.

Mr. Flower said he was glad to hear iL,
and he was further gratified at the frank-
ness of Rooke, who at once withdrew from
that which he found was illegal. A man need not
be a liar although he was to fight, and lie should
have accepted his bail on Saturday last only he had
not the power. lie hop„ that his friends and
comp mions would see the folly of attempting to
engage in such contests, as whatever the secresy
observed it would be useless, as the police in the
present instance had shown.

The necessary forms having been gone through,
Rooke was discharged.
