FIGHT BETWEEN SAMPSON AND O'NEAL
FOR FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS.

. (We gave yesterday an secount of the Fight txclusively, but as
the Readers of our First Edition did not see it, we now reprint
more correct account of the Rounds than was possible in the hurry
of the arrival.

The fight took place in a field forming part of South Alimma
Common.

During the night the road leading to Damnable was thronged
With persons in all sorts of vehicles, anxious to witness this long-
expected fight. ,
Damnable Downs was the place first named, and Market-street
was appointed as the general .residence of and inuster place
for the corps pugilistic, and every bed in the town was engaged
at an early hour.

Sampson has for several days taken up hi. abode at the Sun
Inn, Market-street, and O'Neal rested at Dunstable. At nine
o'clock the Rev. Mr. Austin, one of the Magistrates for the coml.;
ties of Buckingham and Hertford,: came to Market-street, and
informed Sampson of the intention of 'the Magistrates to oppose
any attempt that might he made to make the ring in any of the
counties for which he was a Magistrate. -
Bill Gibbons was then ordered into .Middlesex, and South
Minims Common was immediately resorted to.
O'Neal, during the morning, was the favourite, and six to four
Was freely taken. '
Sampson first entered the ring, and tied his colours, Pink, to
the stake. O'Neal; shortly 'after entered, and tied his eolours,
Blue with Wllits Spots, to the. stake. . Jos. Hudson 'seconded
O'Neal, and Harry Holt *as bottle holder ; Jem Ward and Burn
appeared for Sampson; Umpire and Referee being chosen.

much cautious sparring. O'Neal got Sampson in a corner of the
ring ; the men closed and fell-.-Sampson under—no mischief.
2. Both sparred round the ring; Sampson at last struck out,,
and hit O'Neal on the face. -Several blows were exchanged,
and at last they closed, and Sampson threw O'Neal against the
ropes.—(Cries of " bravo Sampson, you'll win.")
3. Both men extremely cautious, at lait put their arms down ;
Sampson got O'Neal near the rope, O'Neal skipped round and
seemed afraid—(loud hisses)--find fretful ; Sampson, quite cool,
again sparred round the ring, O'Neal *till keeping off, at last
closed, and Sampson, after several blows which were struck by,

O'Neal on the cheek, and threw him against the ropes. Cheers
for Sampson.
9. O'Neal, now on his mettle, began to show fight in earnest,
and caught his wan a real Mie on the ear. Sampson met O'Neal
in the centre of the head with a flush hit from the left hand.--
O'Neal feinted to draw his customer. No go. Sampson hit out
desperately left and right. O'Neal covered his head with hisarms
in beautiful style. Both men came to a scrambling rally. O'Neal
opened his hands, and Sampson went down from a push.
10. O'Neal hit Sampson, who returned a heavy body blow, and
after a fine display of science between the 'men, Sampson bit
O'Neal a left,handed blow on the face. O'Neal hit a blow on the
head, which-knocked Sampson down, and he'enuM scarcely come

to time.
11 th'and Last Round,—Sampson did not hold up his arnlS
and O'Neal knocked him off his legs witha smart hit, though by
no means a demolisher, Sampson, resting on Jam Burn, turned
up his eyes as it in agony. Everybody thought he was danger-
ously hit, and his senees knocked out of him: If the caie hadm,
been so desperate he could not have spoken. Ward cleaned bu
and bid him get up and fight. "No," said Sanwa"' dhtieletY,
enough to be heanl beyond the rope., "take me out of the tog.
" Nonsense," said Ward, "get up and tight; you can fight lon
if you like." " No," replied the dying man ; and, turning for°
to O'Neal, he added, " I'll have no more of it."
Thus ended a contest between two of the best-matched men in
the ring, after an hour and six minutes, in which the hour u'l9
spent in sparring, and six minutes in fighting.
