The second battle between these Heroes of the

for 150 guideas trside, on. the sane ground where
Randall beat •Balasco, in a 32-feet ring, after.
many-false offiCes had been given, which seat ter ed.
peopie7abottt in all directions. Some of the Cornmilsary department received a note, purporting to
ha% e conic from a Magistrate (Mr. Porter), for-
bidding the battle to take place there, and the
cavalcade ivasonet at eleven o'clock, by a messen-
ger, -announcing the unwelcome news, and that:
the ring would be formed at Moulsey fl9rst, whi
ther the cavalcade repaired on each side.the,w,ater

remained in suspense, until another Messenger
reached Hampton, bet weer twelve amd one o'clock,
stating th.e Magistrate's interference to havebeen
--, an hoax--and back agaiii.went the majority of the
groupe, Whilstothers, ,tired as wellas their horses,

Scruggins did not intend to fight,. Some of those.
did return to the ring uad another trick.

" This is the road to the fight.", it was, however,
tiro miles yound, and this was managed. for the
Walton-bridge toll, the owners being desirous Of
a,puit as well as others: ,-Turner was it a coach
in the ringbefure I o'clock; but ScrOggins did not
make his appearance for more than an hour atter,-
txben he was fetched. It was 2to 1, cit;;;•ent
betting; that he would not appear ;-and when he.
did, two men were stripped, and were just in the
act of setting-tp,_when they were put on one side,
and the heroes•tor the day's diversion entered and

ROUNDS

1. 'ltrelt manceuvring took place for first bit, and after
nearly three minutes sparring, during which Turner dropped
his arms by his side and retraced his steps to the set-to
scratch, to let his adversary know that he" should not fellow,.
at length. !Nth hit. out together, and closed. Both went
down. Scroggins threw; hut Turner fell ott hiM. There Was
no mischief done.

2. Turner placed a light. hit. over his adversary's guard
with..his right hand, and another on the chest With the left.
A sarart rally followed, but Turner's caution gare him best,
and he dr, w first blood from the nose. Both down again in
a close; Bett flg. 5t02 on Turner.
3. Setuggins hit hiS adversary, with his right hand on the
throat With his, favourite rush.. A rally followed, and
ticrwrgius slipped, when he received on the head ny.going

Turner repeated. his right-ltandefkblois upon the mouth,
and hit the body forcibly with his left; •SciogginS Made A'de-
termined right-handed hit at his -adversary's _ear, Which
slanted by the heat!, and was spoiled. of its elfecti:.- Tamer
.missed his .return blots, and both- went,down in a close, •
famous rally was commenced. by B,roggins; who co-
vered his head. at,; 1.;,t safe in; After t:cliaziging-counter
bits, they broke front each other and conversed together. In
renewing- the rally
.:(troggius received hits on the head and
body, which were repeated. Turner was thrown.
6. Scroggnis had touch the worst of this round. and "."
thick-winded. Turner got his head under bii aria', and made
much havoc.- about his face, and when tired of it, he threw
himself duwo, and gave Scroagins a sort of sconerset upon
the-front of his mug,witich made a masterly,finisb of him.
7. Scro4gilrs received a smart left-banded hit in front of the
face, as straight as.an arrow, and he returned with a heavy
right-banded blow upon Turner's jaw,which set it chattering.
A rally followed, in which Serogginsshewed much determined
figi)ting„ but he was unfortunate in missing his bits, and
Turner broke ground, and received blin with much coalne-s.
Several elamsy Mows were exchanged; and Scroggins" Was
,thrown, or at least he had the weight, in throwing, but Turner
wantruvered as usual in going sons to bare the best
of the, fall. This was about the most.equal round in the fight.
8. 'Turner made very tine parries of Scroggins's two hits in
going in, but he was run down.
Seroggins run himself 'down by Turner avoiding him.

. .
10. Scroggins made play. and got in with his head covered,
and placed-a good body bit upon Turner's breast, which was
returned by hitting up under the chin. Both down in a close.
11. Turner did severe execution in this round by placing a
straight blow on the mouth with the right hand, and hitting
up for the Adam's apple, as so termed . (the protuberance in
theAbroat.), try which the, fight was taken out of Scroggin%
early in his last battle with him. Lie rattled the chin and
broke away. Scroggins followed, and was very severely pu-
nisl►ed, hot he planted a good body blow, and Moth were at.
length down. Scruggins • was covered with blood from the
nose and month. . _ _

12. Some hits were exchanged, bet Turner led and planted
a heavy hit epos the forehead, which chaticeried the head,
and clitivered it, as is often seen its Grimaldi's Was. Scrog-
gins run iu and was thrown.
13. Sz•roggins felt front a 14zht

H. Tut litT bud now brought his adversary down to his
.weight, and .-was Willi-1111g at leisure,' saving accident. He
stopped all Semggins's (forts by admirable ptties, and
foitght upon, the retreat lilac a Cribb, ,until he beat his ad-
rerSary's hcail into stupidity. Scrogging anaintained his fero-
city until Turner was tired of hitting- and both went
down weals. Betting 10 to lon Turner, who. had not bled,
nor; was there appearances of any material blows.
15. Counter blows were each exchanged, and Tatter made
two other hits, and then went down.

16. ,Scroggins made desperate play, but equally unsUccess-
fill; as.Turnet• rotteate,tl,Abd hit him six blows, when both
went . -

. .
It would be tedious 46 the render- -to particularize every
round of so inech-satuertess,ond therefore we proceed to those
'Which -.lttrorded•.an.opportunity of remark, for -Turner had
'here reduced-success to a certainty, without a;.eaance hit, rt'id
the strerfb of hitting was gone by. • • • •

With a decisive:holy blow. Iu the 23d, Scroggins, from dis-
tress, imitated • Turner in dropping his hands to his sides,
when 'Turner rushed in, and convinced him, by two heavy
hit;, he Was not so to he trilled with. in the 24th -round,
Screggins received about . ten Ltts,• but Turner was very fa-
tigued with giving.
The 25th round produced the only knock down blow, if it
may be termed one, in the fight- Turner received Scogyins's
lett hand upon the neck,' and Ire went down upon one hand
and one knee, which is considereti down, so as to Make it foul
to strike. ScrogginS was nearly blind, besides his ot bin. con-
fusions. He fought on till the 430 round, when Cribb went
to hint, and advised the seconds to take him away, as he had
no chance. After' fighting another round, the Champion re-
newed his solicitation, ait,l after fighting 45 rounds, iu one
hour and 29 Minutes, Scroggins muttered ascent to resign
the combat ; and thus he lost his fame fur

• REMARKS.
This battle has set two questions at rest ; the
first of whiA is, that Scroggins fought, to win Ills
former battle with Turner, • which has often been
disputed ; and, secondly, that he'has proved.hitp-
self -a very game man, which sonic had disputed.
That he never was a scientific boxer has been
long'since known,-,but his strength and courage
vanquished ;dl byfore, him, until chan'ce threw
'furs er in his way. The strongest proof that he
could not get at him as he has done.at others,
has been sheWn upon two -octuions and this

demonstrates-clearly-what science, when managed
with temper and coolness, can do against strength
and resolution,providing the heart be in the right
place.—Turner parried the dreadful hitting right
hand-Of his opponent, and returned upon him at.
leisure, saving himself—he scarcely -had his hands
from his face a minute during,the whole fight ;
and what with drinking brandy (which Scroggins
resorted to in the middle of the fight), and con-
tinually receiving about the head, he was drunk
from the 20th round. We scarcely ever recollect
seeing p
a man worse unished. •Ile was taken .off
thq ground to an inn at Halliford, and put to bed.
Turner went to bed at the Anchor, at Shepper-
ton, tired enough of the gymnastics of the day.—;
Randall challenged to fight Turner on the grotitid,
when it was supposed Scroggins would not.thew.
A match. will. no doubt be made.
