SIXTEEN MILES FROM LONDON.

NO FIGHT
BETWEEN BARNEY AARON

AND FRANK REDMAN.

A second trial of pugilistic skill was to have taken place
to-day, in a field near Fordwater Bridge, within a mile of
Chertsey. The known celebrity of the Jew, as well as his
superior experience, rendered him a strong favourite, and
he was backed freely at five and six to four. Red-
man had been in the ring before with Barney, and was
beaten easily, since which period he has kept a public.
house, at Loman's Pond, in the Borough, a species
of
.occupation not deemed the most favourable for fistic
pursuits, still his constitution being considered sound,
and having gained considerable fame in sparring, added
to his being under the direction of the celebrated Dick
Curtis, made his chances appear by no means bad. It will
be remembered that Dick beat Barney, and from this cir-
cumstance it was reasonably conjectured by some knowing
ones, that he would be able to put his pupil up to Barney's
mode of fighting. Redman took his training at Hentley
Row, on the Western road, where, by hard exercise,
and scientific sweating he contrived to divest himself of
that superfluous fat which a sedentary life usually en_
genders.

Barney trained at his old ground, the Coach and
dorses, at Ilford, within an easy distance of his friends,
who did not fail to give him the cheering comfort
of their presence. The place of combat having,
after becoming deliberation, been, named on Saturday,
by the competent authorities. Barney was removed with
all due caution to Chertsey, where he remained until the
important hour of battle The sporting houses in London
were thronged last evening by the votaries of the Ring,
who sheaved the blunt freely, and this morning the
road to the chosen arena, was blocked up by a pretty
considerable cavalcade of toddlers, equestrians, and
charioteers among which the Shenies cut a conspicuous
figure. The first resting-place was Hampton, and here,
both at the Red Lion and Bell, the motley assemblage con-
gregated in great force. Redman arrived at Staines yes-
terday evening, attended by some friends.
It was the intention of the parties to have the
battle fought at Molesey Hurst,. but on arriving at Hamp-
ton, it was ascertained that a party of gentlemen were to
dine to-clay at the Red Lion, the majority of whom, from
the circumstance of being magistrates, would be likely not to
look with a forbearing eye on the exhibition of manly courage.
The dinner is to take place in commemoration of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Clarence's Birth-day, and the Chair
is to be filled by C. N. Palmer, Esq.,• M.P.
The cavalcade then proceeded to Chertsey, awl at twelve
o'clock that little town presented a bustling scene. About
half-past twelve, there was a general move for the field of
action, and notwithstanding the threatening appearance of
the day, every individual was hanging on. On ar-
riving at the ground, we found that Fishwick, the
Deputy-Commissary-General, bad not neglected his
part of the important business of the day. He, and
that nondescript, Fogo, were on the field at an early hour,
and as commodious a ring as a man need wish to set-to in
was the fruit of their exertions. Josh Hudson was also at
his post—his eye twinkled with joy, as he surveyed the
preparations.

At twenty minutes to one o'clock we had a desperate
shower of rain, accompanied with a thunder storm. " My
eyes," said Josh, " what a noise there is about this here
fight !" The shower certainly was a soaker ; the fancy
got a most complete drenching, but their wet jackets did
not seem to annoy them half so•much as the injury likely
to be done to the ring by the rain.

At one o'clock precisely Barney entered the ring and
threw up his hat. He was attended by Josh Hudson and
Isaac Nathan. Enquiries were now made for Redman,
and after a lapse of about five minutes, Dick Curtis rode
into the field and announced that a warrant had been
issued by the Surrey Magistrates against Redman,
and that, therefore, he could not fight. Dick Curtis
went on to say that an officer was at the time in the field
prepared to grab him if he made his appearance. It is
utterly impossibl< to give an adequate idea of the confusion
that prevailed upon this announcement. Carrier pigeons
were instantly dispatched to town to convey the intelligence
to the many who were anxious to know the result.
20 minutes past I o'clock.—Something like order is be-
ginning to be restored, and the fancy are about preparing
for the fight between Ikey Dodd and Jones the Sailor Boy;
but there was a difficulty in raising a subscription. Half.
past one o'clock—No second fight—tbe subscription can't
be collected.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

GUILDHALL.

NOVEL MODE OF GETTING A WATCH REPAIRED.---A
hair-dresser of the name of Buffet, residing in Field-lane,
was brought to this office under the following curious
charge.
John Leaver, who had been the driver of a hackney-
coach, but now out of employ, stated, that he called
at Mr. Buffet's shop to get shaved yesterday morning,
rather in liquor, when Mr. Buffet perceiving be had his
watch with him, with that politeness for which
gentlemen of his profession are famed, offered to
take care of it for him. The watch was given into the
care of the Knight of the Comb. Mr. Leaver called about
mid-day, and requested that his ticker might be returned
to him, when he was informed by Mr. Buffet
that be bad not got it. He called again at seven o'clock in
the evening, when he was told it could not be given to
him. The watch had been since returned, but was very
much damaged. Mr. Buffet was willing to pay fur the
repairs, and that was all the complainant wanted.
Mr. Buffet stated, the complainant was so drunk when
he came to his shop, that he could hardly stand, and fell
fast asleep several times while in the house.
The ManisraATE thought it highly wrong on the part
of the complainant, to bring.the case here after the watch
had been returned.
