31,'(1 ti GRAND FIGHT
BETWEEN NED.NEAL AND WHITEHEADED BOB;

FOR £250 ASIDE,
AT SUNNING-HILL (YESTERDAY), Aran. 29.

This very important affair being fixed to come off
to-day, all classes of the fancy looked anxiously to
the result. Before, however, we proceed further, it
will not be amiss to tell the uninitiated something
about,the men, their feats, and defeats. Ned Neal
is, Indeed, " a broth of a bdy." His parents are
from the Land of Song, and introd'uced him to this
Land of Liberty about 26 years since at Streatham,
in
Surrey. " The seven. millions," however, going
'upon the old principle, that man born in a stable
is not a horse; "claim him as a genuine Patlander,
and there is not an Irishman in all England that
would.' not-dance barefoot upon flint stones to his
honour and glory. Be that as it may, he has proved
himself a Hit-tite of 'the-first water in conquering
some of the stars of his 'day, and not to know Ned
Neal and all about him would argue one's self un-
known. His amiable opponent, Bob, has already
once crouched to his potent arguments, but as every
Englishman is allowed three fires, Ned could not in
common politeness refuse him a second. A match
was at length brought about, and after sundry ad-
journments, Ned having the honour of " the seven
millions;" before his eyes, it was fixed to come off on
the same day as the almost equally important
question in the big ring at St. -Stephen's. -What a
clayfOr th&Eriti-ites ! Should Ned win the fight, and
the Catholics " the Question," Whiskey will rise 20
per cent. With regard to the held of the lily pate,
he has always fought likeia Trojan and bled like a
pig. His taking qualities in the ring would vie with
a tax-gatherer out of it. His weak point is never
knoWing when he has had enough. As to giving,
he is generous to a fault, and many a receiver has
been perfectly satisfied of his benevolence. With
respect to the first fight, he had " felt soft woman's
sighs," and the effects of them rendered him " much
more tender on the whole than fierce." He was
everything but well when lie went into the ring, and
consequently was well-licked when he came out.
lie had trained well, however, this time for " the tug.
of war," and looked with confidence to the result.
The ." affair" was at length fixed to come off
at Liphook, about 46 miles from London, on the.
Portsmouth road. _

, .
The interest excited by the promised " tussle,"
among 811 classes of the natives, could not fail to at-
tract the notice of those inimaculate country mill-
marrers, the " great unpaid." .:Soine of this Glass of
persons are certainly to be highly respected for their
zeal and talents; but there are those among them.
whine only chance of rescuing themselves from their
native insignificance, is that of obtaining an epheme-
ral notoriety by providing Some unfortunate poacher
with board and lodging at the county expense,
depriving an honest publican of his licence because
hp is poor, or preventing his Majesty's most loyal
subjects from enjoying an amusement, handed down
to them by their forefathers, as the ne plug ultra of
manhood.
One of this last variety of the beak species, whose
exact cogpomen amoug his neighbours we in pity
withhold, formed with a methodist parson and another
a sort of " holy alliance," and announced that no
fight should take place in that neighbourhood.
" Very good," said Tom Oliver and Fishwick, and
turned the cargo of stakes and ropes again for
Godalming, where they "pitched their tent."
4t Liphook, the orders given to the constable
were, to take an aecount of all persons found in the
public-honses at five o'clopk and also at eight. The
Raniface ”. grinned a,ghasily smile," but having the
fear .of the license-day before his eyes, he found it
prudent to hear, see, and say nothing.
At this determination the fancy and knights of
the "spade and flail" were alike disappointed, every
thing was_ at a stand. A meeting was called and
held by the priucipals and the assistants, and nothing
decided.On,. but that another meeting Should be lield
in the'ttiOnling. tub looked better than we e -
pectect,:and'Neal was in appearance quite *confident.
Great fears were entertained that there" would be no
fight. PO expressed his willingness to fight any
where, sooner than disappoint his friends,
The muster of swells from town was quite as
numerous as could have been expected, and the fancy
of Portsmouth had booked a fine day's play. The
countrymen were all agog, and the ebullitions of
courage•were almost boiling over among themselves.

The -she-creatures, curious to see those beings whol.
had fought and bled, showed with " their blushing .
honours thick about them." The exhibition of so
many lions of the ring, far from abashing them,
brought them out in more glowing eolou'rs.
The Office being given in the morning that. the final
' meeting would be held'at-Guildfoid, the- faticy -departed
from the bead-quarters, Godalming (the King's Arms,
with the civil and:chzering host), and Made for the mark.
The scene' was interesting in the extreme.: The-
criValcide 'covered',The line of road and the country
exhibited groups of =the joskin species scouring its fields at
,ajog trot, tu;:witness the promised mill. The bonnie Nies
giggh4 with delight, and all was sunshine. The next.
move was to- Bagshot,:about twelve miles 'across the coun-
try. Post-lowa were at a premium and the lads destitute
of the coriander seeds; good .prads, or sinewy understand-
ings,' were left' in the lurch. Every cart horse was put
.in requisition, -and many of the ladies" accompanied
the
°motley tbrong. On arriving at the King's, Arms,
however, Ascot Heath was named as the field of fight, and
Joe Fishwick fiirmed a ring with his accdstomed Celerity.

had none the worst, and there is little doubt .but. that
Neal's backers were not sorry for the termination.

yesterday, stands !Jetty, than !Net- with his friends, wil
take plant' at the Tennis Court to-morrow. .The day o
deciding his pending match with Neal wiil then be fixed.

This was.an action for the recovery of 51.35. fitl., the
price charged by' Mr: SV/ift, the engraver, for etigiaving a
card'for the defendant, With sundry ernbelliShments.
.• Mr. BoLLAND:stated that his client, • Mr. Swift, was
Well known OS an 'able "engraver, and that he had been
ertMl&Yed 'to design and engrave the card, which he (Sir.
Bolland) then handed round to the Jury, and which was a
specimen of great skiff and beauty:. Every man of genius
waaentitled to a fair remuneration for his exertions, from
Bartolozzi, who• had reached the pinnacle of fame, dawn to
the most obscure aspirants. The defendant had objected
to the reasonable charge, and offered half-price as soon as
he foimd the job was finished, in the' expectation, no doubt,
that such terms would be acceded to, the card being of no
use except to the defendant. • • • • •
Several re3pectable engravers deposed that the charge
was quite within. bounds. •

of antiquities as Mr. Bolland, who was known tq be !fond
Of-every thing that savoured of age, whether old bOoks,
uld wine, old prints, or old inventions: Whatever Might
be the merit of the engraving, the defendant has rejected it
as not worth the sum demanded, and had offered 50f,. for
it, its value to the fullest extent. " • •
