Ten other rounds, if they might be called so, were

hit, but was constantly receiving tremendous blows
on the head and loins—he was fighting . under every
disadvantage of weakness, blindness, aclungs, &c. and
consequently unable to turn the career of his adver-
sary. In the 25th round he received two as tremen-
dous blows as any in the battle, and which decided it
in the '26th round, when Gregson could not be brought
to the mark of setting to in time ; he also received a.
a tremendous hit in the car the 27th round.
REMARKS.

LAW lATELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 9.
Mr. Justice B tatrr took his seat on the Bench.

THE KING r. BRADLEY.
This was the commitment by a Magistrate, by
which the Defendant had been convicted in the pe-
nalty of £lOO, and ordered to be imprisoned for six
calendar months in the Hope of Correction in Cold-
hath-fields, on the Act of Parliament commonly called

the Little Go Act.
Mr. GURNEY had obtained a writ of Habeas Cor-
pus directed to the keeper of the above prison, corn-
manding him t) bring up the body of the above named
Defendant to be discharged, on the ground that the
commitment was illegal.
This day the Writ was returned by Aris, the Gover-
nor of the Prison, and the Defendant came into Court.
Thu words of the commitment being read, were
as follow :—" For having, at Edmonton in the
County of Middlesex, unlawfully exercised certain
games or lotteres for drawing tickets or lots fur goods,
and dispersing and dealing out money in lieu thereof,
contrary to the Statute."
Now it appeared that this was not the Clause
which gave the Magistrate the power of commitment'
at all.
Lord .ELLEVBOROUGII observed, that the commit-
ment was quite wide of the mark in this case ; but he
lamented very much that the Act of Parliament was
so loosely drawn. for it was in several parts of it, a sad
jumble of nonsense.
The Defendant was discharged.
MAT 10.—TIIE JUNG AGAINST CHAMBERS.

The battle excited some disappointment inasmuch
as it was generally understood, although notby judges,
that Gregson had been taught the science of fighting ;
but it turned out diametrically opposite. He was a
resolute novice at the late battle with Gully, at New.
market, and by instinct he threw in some tremendous
blows at length.
It will not be wondered at, that the spectators were
surprised when they saw the man, who in the late
battle never could approach until he made play, in
this instance make play too, hit him through his
guard, and doing almost any thing with him. It
was evident this all arose from the very attempt at
t.:aching a novice on the wrong side thirty to box.—
He was constantly abroad ton in rallying, which was
not the case in the last battle.
Gully fought him with studied caption ; and when
he had him at rallying, there was not one instance
where Gully failed. The champion was also in much
better condition than when he fought at Newmarket,
and never betrayed symp:oms of weakness.
After the battle, Gully addressed the ring, , and in.
formed them publicly, he was so situated, that he
never intended to tight again, nor would he have done
so in this instance, had he not been bound in honour
to comply with Giegson's challenge. He had on this
occasion fought with a lame left arm, and Gregscn
sureiy would riot desire to combat with him again.
The battle lasted one hour and a quarter.
DUTCH NAM AND CROPLEY.

Mr. MAERTATY applied fur a Habeas Corpus and
a Certiorari, to remove a conviction before two Ma-
gistrates, upon the Lottery or Little Go Acts. The
Acts authorise the Magistrates to convict ard sentence
the party to imprisonment in the House of Correction
fiir not exceeding• six mouths, and not less than one.
The Magistrates sentenced him to three months im-
prisonment, to be kept to hard labrur. This, he con-
tended, was not within the power given by the Act,
and for the; excess of their authority he applied, that
the man night be brought up to be discharged.--Tne
Rule vv::s gr..nted.
Kixwf.sr V CAMPBELL.
Mr. GARROW had obtained a rule to shew cause
why the Defendant should not be discharged out of
custody, upon putting in bail,,by six persons, fur dif-
ferent sums, to the amount of A. 78,000 in the whole.
The Defendant w:is arrested upon a judgment, entered'
up in Jamaica, fur nearly ,C 40,000. It being im-
possible to procure bail for double that amount by two
imersons in the usual way, this rule WAS made.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL spewed cause, and the
Defendant having once offered to enter a conunun ap-
pearance for himself and partner, required that h..
should now, besides giving bad for himself, appeal
for his partner.
This Mr. GARRUW, on behalf of his client, refused
ti.) do, and the rule was discharged.

This wasa teal scientific combat minute!.
and was won by Dutch Sam tolerably easy.
The fighting leas not over until sevcu o'clock in
the evening. •
