THE BATTLE.

Round r. Gregfon made play, by throwing in a left-handed hit,
which was well flopped. After lomc cautious (parting, in order
to be aware of each other's notions of attack, Gregfon hit his
adverfary nightly, and threw forward his body with the. blow,
when Gulley hit him down by a dextrous Knight blow under
the temple. which drew blood.-3 tot and 7toa on Gulley.
a. Gregfon again made play, and aimed Come tremendous blows,
which Gulley avoided by getting away, and Gregfon in making
another blow, fell on it, and he was hit in going down.
3. In attempting to hit Gulley right and left, both Gregfon's
blows went over his adverfary's guard. Gulley received bins very
coolly, and hit him down on his knees.-5 to ion Guilty.
a. In this round, Gulley made a hit, which was awkwardly
Bopped; but Gregfon put in one of confiderable force on his ad-
verfary's eye. They clofcd, and Gulley was thrown.
S. Gregfon appeared encouraged by his faced, in the lift round,
and be went in courageouny, but he was (topped right and left by
his adverfary, which was visible in the fubfequent round. The
combatants doled, and both fdl—Gulley underneath. Greglon
bled freely.
6. Gregfon put in a dexterous blow on his adverfary's throat,
and he bit him in the wind at the fame time, which Raggered
Gulley. After fparring for Come time, Gregfon made a hit, and
fell on his knees.

7. In this round Gulley returned the blow in the throat given
in the laft round, and be at the fame moment received a knock
down blow, put in under the temple, and he manifefted weaknefs.
8. In this round Gregfon, who had been baffled in moil of his
hits, and was much akoad, attempted to give a Specimen of the
Lancafhb c mode of boxing, or what is technically called purring,
(running in with his head between the legs). Gulley, however,
was aware of this offenfive mode, and be gave him Such a right-
handed bit on the fide of the head, as culled a copious effufion of
blood, yet Gregfon doled on him and threw him, by taking him
in his arms—to t on Gulley.
9. Gulley hit his opponent a very Severe facer, and Gregfon
deliberately laid hirnfelf down on his bands and knees. This a6t
was fuppofed to be Something of the err, but Giegfon's fubfcquent
conduft did away that impreffion.
to. Gregfon went in much enraged, and mad: reverel Short hits
—Gulley followed his attempts to hit by real blows, at once fcien-
tific and tremendous, and Gregfon fell extremely weak. He prc-
tented a difmal fpeetacle, Streaming with blood. As high odds as
zoto one were offered on Gulley, and even betting, that Gregfon
would not protradt the battle to 20 minutes, ax having expired ;
but there were no takers.

n. Gregon received a bit, and be immediately clofed, and gave
Gulleyaheavyfall.

•
12. Weaknefs began to be multi& in Gulley in this round, and
it gave a ftrange turn to the betting. Gregfon received force fee-
ble hits, although feicutilically put in—but he knocked Gulley
down by a moll tremendous blow on the forehead.
13. Gulley had the advantage again in this round by his fupe-
rior knowledge of boxing—but his hits were not forcible, from
weaknefs. Gregfon gave a fpecimen of the I.ancalhire mode of
throwing, which Gulley mutt I ave feverely felt.
14. Gregfon put in another tremendous blow on Gulley's face,
and he repeated it fkilfully with his left hand—after a fevere raUy,
Gregfnn fal on his knees extremely weak, as was alto his ad-
verfary. •
_ _ _

a r. After exchanging Come blows, thofe of Gregfon being the
more forcible, from hia fuperior ftrength, be was knocked down.
16. Although Gulley's Mee bore woeful marks of the blows he
had received, and one eye was doled, he had the heft of this rally •
ing round, by ultimately hitting his opponent off his legs.
17. Gregfon fell on his blow.
:8 and 19. Gulley had a flight advantage in tkefe two rounds,
although he had a heavy fall in the latter.
to. Gulley made an expert ftop, and with difficulty hit his ad-
verfary down.

21, 22, and 23. Gulley got more fret, and fairly beat his ad-
verfary from Mm in rallying, but not without receiving fome hard
blows. Both were very weak, but 8 to t was betted on Galley,
his bottom being known.
24. Thlt round mewed that both were dead beaten, for their
blows were fo feeble, and the lots of blood was fo confidtrable,
that each had difficulty in making fight. Gulley threw Gregfon for
the Mit time—to to t on Gulley.
23. Here it was any body's battle, as it was reduced to the game
and coullitution of the combatants who Otould win--they each
were moll hidcoufly di‘figured, and fearcely able to get off the
knees of their bottle-holders. Although the battle tailed eleven
more rounds, it would be fupet Boons to detail them, as each had
alternately the advantage, and betting, which had been 20 to one
on Gulley, was reduced to even they suet each ocher like two
MApltfx inert inehrired, and it was with the greateft difficulty
that either could hold up his hands to flop or hit, and when the
cloft d, which was generally by both falling together inof-
fenfively, the fritotls of each party expected the word ensug6 to
come from both together. Guile!, in this state, was run the fa •

adequate, with the Hide knowledge he pnffefred, ter
Gulley's fupetior fkill, as there was a recirrocity in
bottom. Gulley fought at a great diiidvantage
againft a man of fuch fuperor ftrengrh and lenglh,
fur he never could make a hit, until Gregfon chafe
to begin, as the latter fpat red with his left arm fully
extended, which was confiderably longer and more
powerful than that of Gulley. Gregfon, after tile
few firfi rounds, made lounging and defperate hits
with his right hand, which nothing could refill, and
it is thus accounted for how Gulley falai r cd f, mtiet
injury. Gregtnn was generally abroad after he had
made that favourite I:it, as 4!t qiticknefs of Gulley
in returning it gave him a great advantage. Gulley

Gulley received a handfotne fuhicription purfe, and

A fingular ttial before the Coroner for the county
of Dublin, occurred on the ad init. at Ifland bridge,
on the body of P. M'Owen, of the Royal Artillery:
J. Davis, Efq. fergeon to the Royal Artillery, de-
poled, that he was of opinion the deceafed came by
his death in confequence of an inflammation of the
bladder, occafioned by a fall or blow. This Gentle-
man's teflimony was corroborated by Surgeon Powell,
of the fame regiment. J. M'Dowell, nteffman to the
Artillery, faid the deceafed, with other foldiers, had
been drinking at his canteen, and on fettling an ac.
count, a difpute arofe refpeeting the quantity ferved to
them ; the deceafed appeared in a quarrelfome mood
and (truck the boy who attended the company ; the
witnefs endeavoured to pacify him, and a corporal
ordered him to his barracks, a fcuffie enfued, and they
Itrucla each other ; witnefs could not afcertain who
was the &It affailant, but depofed, that tt e corporal
and deceafed came out to the top of a flight of nar-
row (tone Reps, without railing, and the latter fell
down ; ire was taken up apparently lifelefs, but lan-
guithed for force days, and at length expired. When
the deceafed fell, he exclaimed that he was killed :
witnefs did not confider him to be drunk ; was of
opinion that the corporal was merely in the aft of
doing his duty, and that the quarrel was forced upon
him by the deceafed.—Collins, a private, conceived
the deceafed to have been drunk ; law him carried
away, but knows Rot how he fell, bat it was about
a quarter of an hour after the fcufile.—A corporal
depofed, that the deceafed had (truck the corporal
firft, and that they boxed two rounds, and then
fat down, and in abotlt five minutes he concluded,
from an outcry, that the deceafed had fallen down,
but did not fee him.—Surgeon Blaney depofed, that
the deceafed declared that his fall was occafioned by
a blow and trip from the Corporal.—R. Waller, a
Serjeant, depofed to a fimilar declaration made to
him by the deceafed ; lie was not then under any ap.
prehenfion of dying ; or, the following day he def.
paired of recovery, but did not repeat the declara-
tion —E. Bloomer, a patient in the fame room with
the deceafed, depokd, that on his approaching
►ution. he begged of Gco to forgive the Corporal,
allec'ging th ,the believed that they were Lath equally
in fault ; deceaied was then in violent apprehen:;on
of death.—G. Nelfon, corporal, heat d the deceafed,
after having been brought ir.to the barrack room,
exclaim hen apparently drunk, 0 Cot vral Rourke,
you have murdered me !" the Corporal was not then
prelent.—The Jury requelled the Coroner would lay
down the law to them, which he accordingly did.—

SUARcr ‘FSS OAS.

Tnerlav Visrnas 11Iffy. a cabinet-Taker, refiding
$6, Blaekman-ttreet, B orittot, was tried before the
Chairman and a bench of Justices, for an affatilt on
his apprentice. Owen Bailie, on the toth of June fail.
The indictment charged him with running againti
the Profecutor, then collaring him, and pulling him
to the ground. and knreling np 'n his body ; after-
wards puthing him againfl the wall, and trampling
on his toes. It appeared, however, on the trial, that
the profecutor had a private letter to deliver to the
defendant', wife, which the defendant (trove to take
frim him, baying fome fufpicion of its contents.—
The defendant and his wile.did not li,e on the bell
terms, and have fence parted. The trial failed from
two o'clock till five, when the Jury, without a mo•
naent's helitation, returned a vet did of—Not Guilty.
A butcher of the name of Bolton was indifled for
a violent affault upon Ann Bafs, a very handfome
young woman, tl..e fervant of a Mr. Chamberlayne,
the proprietor of the Norfolk Houle Academy,
Kennington.
It appeared from the evidence, that Mr. Chant•
berlayne had been a cuttorner rf the defendant for
above a year ; but having Unfortunately become in
folvent, was t tl. in the defendant's debt. In order
to conciliate him, and prevent law expences, he fent
the defendant 51. on account, p omifing to pay the
nett when he could, and to deal in future for ready
money. Ann Bafs was the pet fun fent with the money
to porch:tie the d..ily portion of meat for the fchoolt
the went to the defendant's feveral fucceflive days,
but the defendant conceiving himfeif intitled to cer-
tain indulgences from the maid in lieu of thofe which
he extended to the mailer, thought proper to take
With the girl certain grofs and indecent freedoms,
which the did not ohoofe to petmit, and therefore
The declined going to his (hop, and made her market
elfewhere, complaining to her miftrefs of the treat
anent the experienced. The butcher, thus croffed in
his love, and difappointed in his intended bargain,
became imp.Atunate with Mr. C. and upbraided him
with fending his ready money to another (hop. This
led to an explanation, and this blade of the flee./ did
not deny the charge. In a few days afterwards,
however, the girl was rent out on a meffage on the
morning of the 29th of May, when the was met by
the defendant, carrying two bog-pails, who called
her " a g—s thief and a drunken w—e." With his
pails he prevented her from palling, aad with one of
them he hit her a fey: re blow on one of her arms,
and with the other a violent Rroke on her right breaft
In confequence of this unmanly treatment, the girl
could do no work for three weeks, and the had not
recovered the effect of the bruife on her hreaft, for
three months. It was endeavoured to be (hewn that
the butcher had been making love to the girl, and
that the had (corned his offers ; but this did not fuc-
ceed, as ere affault was fully proved. It was alto
made manifefl, that the defendant had infulted the
girl, when the went to his Rall, by taking liberties
with her. Her mailer was indebted to the butcher
a bill, which he could not pay, but he fent the girl
to him always when he had ready money. His im-
pudence, however, becoming daily greater, the girl
went to another butcher, in order to (bun Bolton's
rudenefs, and to this caufe was the affault wholly
attributed. B lion, from a pafllcnate admirer of
Mifs Bafs, became converted into her moll fell and
inveterate foe.
In order to rebut the charge of affault, a little boy,
named J Berry, the fon of a brother butcher, was
called. He was between elevep and twelve years of
age. He law the affault, he laid, but his account
of it was widely different from what had been Rated
by the girl, her matter and miftrefs, and the Milit-
ant at the academy. The boy actually defcribed
the affault as originating with the girl, who, he (wore,
be heard fay to Bolton, (he would " claw his eyes
out." He alfo (wore that (be was in a moll violent
paflion, and that Bolton never (truck her at all.
After a reply on the part of the profecution by
Mr Nlarts vary, Mr. Serjeant Ossr.ow charged the
Jury. He laid the defendant had certainly perpe-
trated a moil brutal and unmanly affault on the Pro.
fecutrix. and that it Rood wholly unc•mtradieled.—
With regard to the evidence of the boy, if what he'
had laid was true, then all the other witneffes were
moll groftly perjured. The Jury immediately found
the prifoner—Guilty.
The Chairman then addreffed the boy, telling him,
that thofe who had infirufted him to tell fuck a tale,
were very wicked people. He added, that were he
(the boy) es few years older, he should certainly have
committed him for perjury.
The defendant here offered to make the prnfccu
trix a compenfation in money, which was acceded to
by the Chairman, who told him, that if he did not
completeby fatisfy her, he thould receive a very fevere
punifhment.
Ann Freeman and Sarah Mulford, were feverally
fentenced to fix months impritonment, and to find
filreties f..r fix months, for uttering counterfeit
money to different perfons.
Yellerday Henry Godfrey, Elizabeth his wife, and
Robert their (on, were indifted for an affault on T.
Roberts, his wife, and fon. The parties lived in Gra-
vel Lane, and on a day mentioned in the indictment,
young Godfrey teeing the junior Roberts, held out
to hint a piece of bread and butter, and invited him
to eat it, laying that his (Robert's) were a half
starved family. Roberts took the bread and butter
and threw it in the donor's face. Words, of courfe,
enfued, which were followed by blows. The noife
of which attracted Mrs. Roberts to the (pot, who
was anxious to refcue her fon. Her hufband, a cho-
leric Welchman, loon joined, and in place of difcou-
raging his fon from the battle, urged him on. All
this uproar did not fail to excite the notice of Mr.
Godfrey and his fpoufe, who, with alacrity, entered
the lifts. Some confufion enfued, which none of the
witneffes could accurately clear up ; it was however
afcertained, that Mrs. Roberts was thrown down,
either by Godfrey or his wife, over a wheelbarrow,
and that Godfrey called for his Raff (he being a con-
Rabic) in order to prefetve the peace. The blood of
Caradacus, however, would not fuller this, and Ro-
beets encouraged his fon to continue the fight. It
was alfo proved by Roberts, that he was alfaulted
by the younger Godfrey.
This Cambrian underwent a crofs•eramination by
3rlr. Lawcs. He laid that Godfrey had often in-
401W Lim, by making mouths at hi.u. [Here the

Court was eonvulfed with laughter, the wit nefs hay
ing a very wide mouth, and opened it to its full ex
tent, and (hook his tongue, in order to thew the Jury
how Gndtrey had intuited him ] He denied that he
ever called Mrs. Godfrey the &en tf the Sweeps ;
or old Mother Brownrigg; neither did he ever hang
up Mother Brownrigg in effigy before Godfrey's
windows. Being prelfed upon their points, he fud
denly exclaimed—" What does all that fignify ?"
" Then (laid Mr. Lewes), you admit you did all
thefe th:ogs." No anfwer was returned.
Mrs. Roberts depofed to having her arm bruited
in three places, which caufed her to employ a woman
for three weeks to do her work. Mr. Milton, a
furgeon, contradifted this Ratement. Mrs. Roberts
came to him, and he gave her two bottles of lotion.
The bruifes on her arm were very trifling, and could
not poilibly have previonted her from following her
ufual bolinefs.
Mr. LAWES addrefred the Jury on the part of the
Defendants, and defcribed the profecution as a lean-
dalous attempt to extort money from Godfrey. He
called one Pearce, who law the boys fighting. Ro-
berts encouraged the combatants, and Godfrey in•
terfered, laying they should not fight. A girl,
named Corby, Hated that Mrs. Roberts's fall in the
yard was entirely occafinned by intoxication. Some
further evidence upone his point was adduced, and Mrs.
Roberts being agaiu called up, gave the allegations a
flat and pofitive denial. Her hufhand was next in-
terrogated as to the (*Marley of his rib at the time,
and he declared that (he had only Come porter at
dinner, and a Pula jenny gleli of brandy in the afternoon!
Another witness [wore that he would not believe
Roberts upon his oath. He once (wore his life again([
the witnefs before the Grand Jury, but he had not
the courage to follow it up.
After a long and defaltory reply from Mr. MA R•
RYATT, Mr. Serjeant ON SLOW fummed up the evi-
dence, remarking upon its incontinency throughout,
and upon the frivolous nature of the cafe ittell. The
Jury, after a fhort deliberation, acquitted the Defen-
dants, feemingly much to the fatisfaCtion of the au-
ditory.
Mr. Rees Prue, an apothecary, in Blackfriar's road,
was charged with affsulting a fine young boy, of the
name of Thomas Oliver Gale, who was bound to
him as an apprentice, his father having paid the De-
fendant the fum of soh for the purpofe of his inftruc-
tion in that bonnets. As our limits will not admit
of our going into minute particulars of an invefliga.
Lion which lafted feven hours, tuflice it to give the
leading features of it.
It appeared from the evidence, that the boy was
bound for five years with the Defendant, but had
only been with him for nine months of that vriod,
during which time he had experienced general berth
treatment. In particular, upon Thurfday, the 23d
of April let, Mr. Price having employed him in
chopping Cadres, found that he had performed
that operation on a fpot different from what he
withed, the boy having chopped it upon a barrel
inftead of a log of wood, adapted for that purpofe, in
a window. Upon hie perceiving this, the Defendant
immediately prcceeded to beat the buy moftfeverely,
knocked him down, pulled his ears, and, notwith-
(landing Mrs. Price's inured-lon for the youth, (truck
him feveral violent blows upon his face, head, neck,
and (boulders, fo as to leave marks of a confider-
able duration. This occafioned the boy to leave
his matter ; and, from the fear of alarming his
father and mother, to go to the bottle of a re-
lation in Weftminfter ; where, after remaining a
night he returned to his father's, and Rated the
ufage he had met with, (hewing the bruifes he had
received. Mr. and Mrs. Gale accordingly went I
with their fon to Mr. Price, and complained of his
conduit towards him. The Defendant endeavoured
to juttify himfelf by Rating, that the boy had not
obeyed his orders in regard to chopping the fa Waft as,
and alto Rated, that a bottle of medicine he had laid
afide for ufe was miffing, betides a parcel of empty
battles not being put into the kitchen, inflead of the
(hop, by his apprentice, purfuant to his initruCtions.
As to the bottle of medicine, the boy declared he
knew nothing of it, and not having received any or.'
ders about the empty bottles then remaining in the
window, was the caufe of his chopping the faffafras
upon the barrel, left he Should break them. It ap,
peered that thefe additional charges againit the bay
were not, in (aft, the real reafon for the violent affaulr,
but that the principal objet was to get quit of the
boy, and to keep the money received for his appren-
ticefhip. In thefe':objefts, however, the Defendant
completely failed, notwithftanding that he called fe-
veral witneffee to prove, that the boy had no caufe of
complaint. One of the profecutor's complaints being
that he was half ftarved by his matter, the fervent
girl was called to prove that (he heard Mr. and Mrs.
Price give orders that he (the boy) (hould have li
betty to take as much bread and potatoes as he could
eat ; but upon being crofs interrogated, the could
not fay that he had equal accefs to procure meat.
Another witnefs Rated, that he had frequently
dined with the Defendant, and had feen the boy
liberally treated at table. All the witneffes on the
part of the profecutor corroborated his teltimony as
to the bruifes received by him ; while thofe on the
part of the Defendant endeavoured to (hew that they
were but trifling; it appeared, however, that they
had only feen them in the twilight, and therefore
their teftimonies were not of equal weight in the
minds of the Jury with thofe produced on the other
fide ; they accordingly pronounced the Defendant,
Mr. Pike, guilty of the affault ; and the Court, by
a ftretch of leniency, only fentenced him to pay the
tii6ing fine of 601. to his Majelty. After the fen.
tence, Mr. Price attempted to fay a few words in his
juftificatton, but he was told by the Ciotirman that
it only amounted to in aggravation of his offence.
