THE FANCY.

• spirited little Sgltt between Anthony Noon and Sam Gilpin took
pi=erterday in a Add near Whetstone, on the Barnet road, for ten
aside. Noes, who is styled " the pocket Hercules," was
fit forward under the soapiest* of Torn Gaynor. end Gilpin
chimed the kind moppet of Jam Bass.=•and both are " Stan" at the
yawing 'sheds of their respective petzons. Their weight is pretty
mash ages au equality, about list. dlb. but Noon has the advantage
in skiew. and ukase, being an admirable general, stopping wen right
and lag, and pine( away from mischief with all the agility and tact of
a Sprint. The ighilmosi two hours and thirteen minutes, during which ,
fifty.foor reads were fought. All the punishment was done in the I
first four rands. during which Noon planted his right with such se- I
verity on Gilpin's left eye, that be not only closed it, but cut it in a
terrific manner. These visitations told on the knuckles of Noon's hand,
which became puffed and disabled, and from henceforth he fought ra-
ther on the defensive. In the claws, however, he invariably threw his
man cleverly. At last it was seen that Gilpin had not a chance, though
still fresh. He evinced great game, but wu unable to plant a single
effective hit on his leery antagonist. Jens Burn, seeing the folly of
prolonging the contest under such circumstances, advised his man to
give in, Which be did, Noon leaving off with scarcely a scruerA to swear
by. Gilpin's eye presented a painful spectacle.

POLICE REPORTS.

Bow-svizitv.—Yesterday, a man named John asaier wee brought
to this Office, and charged before Mr. Blinutuu. with having been
concerned in robbing the shop of a pawnbroker, mad Abraham, re-
siding at Bristol, of property to the amount of 2,1111.
The robbery took place in Nov. last, and a well blown eldet..muill
Wm. Walker, ease Ueeirster, whir was nammitted him shireillstfle
'Bristol, took hi. trial for the offence tildes the Ramat (11k Charles
Wetherell) and having been convicted, lies Ibr execution en this day.
In consequence of information, the beam of the prisoner. in Rope-
maker's-walk, Finsbury, was sarodied, sod the,. geld seals found,
which Mr. Abraham identified.
_ _ _

The prisoner at first said, he had found the seals in June last, but
subsequently declared, that a person named Freeman had given them
to him.

The prisoner was then remanded.
ATTEMPT TO Merman.—Hemet Hughes and Mary Bailey,
were brought before G. R. Minahull, Esq. on Tuesday night. the for-
mer charged with stabbing Emma Brown, with a knife, in the face,
had, and back, and the latter with encouraging the former in so doing.
It appeared that the two prisoners are women of loose character, re-
skiing at the house of the notorious Mrs. Dudfield, in Shire-lane.
They had been robbed of nearly all their clothes by a servant girl,
Tuesday morning, in that house I and, during the day, they applied at
Bow-street for assistance to discover the thief. About five o'clock that
evening, both prisoners entered a house of ill-fame, Shire-lane, where the
girl, Emma Brown, was sitting at dinner, and the prisoners accused her
of being a party concerned in the robbery. A quarrel arose and a
milk ensued, when Hughes took a knife out of the hand of Brown
(in doing which she cut her hand severely). and stabbed Brown twice
near the left eye, once on the head, and very severely in the back. She
bled profusely, and the prisoners suddenly left the house while persons
were going for medical assistance.
A policeman, No. 76, F. division, and his sergeant, baring of the
shocking occurrence, went to the White Hart public-house, St. Cle-
ment's-lane, and there took both prisoners into custody.
After Brown's wounds were dressed, she, though very &haft= loss
of blood, was able to appear before the magistrate, and a short depo-
sition having been taken, the prisoners were both remanded till Friday.
Bailey denied having at all participated in the offence, but the officers
said it was likely they should be able to bring further evidence.
The surgeon who dressed the wounds declared, that if the knife had
been sharp-pointed instead of a table knife, the wound as Brown's back
would unquestionably have beta owed.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Jury, consisting of the most
respectable inhabitants of the parish, sat at the Weymouth
Arms, Weymouth-street, on the bodies of Lord and Lady
Walsingham.
Sir Peter Laurie was present, and interested himself in
the melancholy investigation.
Archdeacon De Grey, brother of the deceased, is now
Lord Walsingham.
Mary Rolfe stated, that she was lady's maid to the deceased,
and was with her ladyship on Tuesday night, about 10 o'clock,
when her ladyship retired to bed ; she left her ladyship in bed,
without fire or candle ; Lord Walsingham slept in another apart-
ment on the second floor, on the opposite side of the stair-
case ; witness slept in a spare room on the story over Lord
Walsingham's room ; she went to bed about eleven o'clock,
and Awoke, about two o'clock, when she was alarmed by
the noise of water running; she opened her bed-room win-
dow, and called " Fire ;" she ran down stairs in her night-
clothes, and escaped ; but she could not tell how, she was
in such a state of terror. (A plan of the rooms on the
floor where the deceased slept was shown to witness, and
she pointed out to the Jury the relative situations of every
person who was in the house at the time of the dreadful oc-
currence.) There were four rooms on the second floor, and
witness did not see the fire in his Lordship's room till some
time afterwards; she saw Lady Walsingham after she had
leapt from the window, she was in dreadful agony, and ob-
served that she believed her Lord was burnt ; she did not
state why she leapt from the window, instead of going down
the staircase.

John Richard Elmore, of New Cavendish-street, surgeon
stated that he was called in soon after two o'clock that
morning to attend Lady Weisinghant;._ he found her
ladyship dreadfully wounded, in a loft over the coach-
man's stable, and on examination be found a cut in the
forehead, another over the eye, the nose broken, and both
thigh bones fractured, the great part of the bone of the one
protruded, just above the knee joint, three or four inches, the
right arm was broken, the elbow of which was literally
crumbled to pieces ; notwithstanding these numerous se.
vere injuries, her ladyship was perfectly sensible, and ex-
pressed strong anxiety for the fate of Lord Walsingham,
exclaiming that he must be lost, and wished to know if any
thing had been heard of him; Archdeacon De Grey, the
brother of Lord Walsingham, was present, and asked
if her ladyship had any wish respecting the executing of a
testamentary paper ; and she replied she was so confused and
agonised as to be incapable. She was in a dying state, and
a clergyman was introduced, who prayed with her, and a little
before six o'clock she emitted from her stomach a quantity
of blood—she was suffocated; before she expired, she
stated that she was awoke by the smoke which filled her
room, and that she opened her window, and threw herself
upon the leads below ; she said she believed the fire had
broken out in Lord Walsingham 's room, and she had previ-
ously expressed to Doctor Clarke that some serious accident
would occur through his lordship's carelessness.
Jane Mills, housemaid to the deceased. Was awoke by
the ringing of bells, about two o'clock, in either her lord or
lady's bed-room ; got up instantly, and Lady Walsingham's
servant said the house was on fire ; witness said, " Nonsense ;"
but ran down stairs on observing the smoke, and opened
Lord Walsinghatn's bed-room door; observed the bed dra-
pery and the clothes in flames ; the smoke and heat were
so oppressive she could only call out, and receiving no an-
swer, she ran to Lady W .'s room, and she asked what was the
matter: witness replied, " His Lordship's bed-curtains are
On fire." She ran to another room to get water, but before
she could get it and return to his Lordship's room with the
water, a voice called to her to escape, and she shut the
outer door, and escaped down stairs. There was no fire in
her Lady's room, and she might have escaped with ease if
she had had presence of mind. His Lordship always had
a candle and fire in his room.
A fireman deposed to finding his Lordship's body, burnt to
a .cinder, in the ruins in the drawing-room, at six o'clock
yesterday morning.
Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, summed up, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict, " That the deaths of the deceased were
caused accidentally and by misfortune."
His lordship had been for some time in a state of ill health.
He bad received a visit from his medical attendant, Sir M.
Tierney, in the afternoon, and had retired to bed (as was
usual with him) at about eight o'clock in the evening, appa-
rently better than he had previously been : he was, indeed,
quite calm and collected, and not in an excited state. Medi-
cine was brought to him at ten o'clock, which it is supposed
be had risen in the night to use, but had fallen on his bed
from weakness, in which state he was observed on the first
breaking out of the flames, by a servant from a window in
the opposite house.
THE MURDER IN BRDFORDBURY.

At balf-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, an inquest was bolder
at the horse and groom public house, Bedfordbsry, before Mr. Ger.l..
the Coroner, on the body of James Dockery, alleged to have been mer•
dered in Brewer's-court, on Sunday morning.
NIT. Duebes, a surgeon, in James-street, Bolden-square, deposed
that he had opened the body of thedeceased. There was a peat extra,
Tuition of blood about the brain, and, from all the apparaores, be was
madded that the death of the deceased; was occasioned by violence, and
not by any natural cause. The witness then went on to describe
the general appearance of the body, which corresponded with the
statement made by Mr. Bainbridge at Bow-street on Monday.
Mr. Bainbridge, and another medical gentleman, who were present
while the bodwee opened, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Duebes.
Elisabeth White, the wife of a labouring man, and one of the
witnesses examined at the Police Office, restated the evidence she then
pee.
Mr. Thomas, the Superintendent of Police, repeated the evidence
which he gave on Monday, at Bow-street.
Mrs. White recalled—Stated that the man named Thos. Gallagher,
whom she had seen at Bow-street, was the same she bad seen strike the
deceased with a stick, in the manner she bad previously mentioned.
Jeremiah Corcoran stated that, on hearing the cry of Murder, be
looked out, and saw Thomas Gallagher dragging the deceased out of
the house, No. 4. He dropped the deceased on the pavement, sod
walked to the end of the court. The deceased never stirred, nor showed
say sigma oflife. After a lapse of lye minutes. Gallagher retained to
the Esesksed, and Wok " By J—. 4, ffyou meeker, I'll ones aguish'
and see you again.* There were several persons at this time Is the
court. Gallagher went away, and witness saw no move of him. Mrs.
Moran and other women then removed the deceased into the house.--
The deceased lay with his mouth and nose to the ground. Gallagher
appeared to be in liquor.
Several other s were called, for the purpose of identifying the
persons who assisted Gallagher in beating the deceased, but now
of them could carry the evidence any further.
The Coroner observed that there was quite evidence enough to war-
rant the committal of Gallagher, and that they should deal with the
evidence so far as it related to the other persons who were seen treating
the deceased, in the best way they could.
The Coroner having recapitulated, and descanted upon the evidence,
The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder 'pin* Thomas
Gallagher, and other persons, whose names to them (the Jury) wore
unknown.
