BOXING.

A match having been made for two men of link
Dote. to fight a pitched battle on Tu:fday, Wilidos
Green was fired on for the fpot of exhibition. This
fight afforded little amofement.
YONING RTaN MID BILL Ct./AIL—A battle took
place between there pugilids of note, without filch a
circumflance being dreamed of, and it was one that
afforded plenty of diverfion. Clark, who fought
with Mofs at Shepperten, tome time fume, threwhis
hat into the ring, after the fiat battle, and challeng-
ed Young Ryan, who accepted it. Every one would
have fuppofed the coated extreme'y unequal, as the
One is a well proportioned fcientific tilhter, and Clirk
a man of but little prattical knowledge. The betting
was 2 to I, and 5 to a on Ryan.
In the fiift round Ryaa had evident!y the acfran.
tag:, although there via only one blow thank.
which was made Ly Ryan oat his opponent's breafk
half-armed.

The courage and bottom. of Clark continued un-
Rtaken during the fight. Whenever Ryan had done
with the fcientific hits, while fparring, it did not ap.
pear to mike any impretlion on Clark, for he never
even (hook his head, but hit again, rallied, and three
times out of four, was um his legs at the end of each
round. Such was the Rite of the battle until Clark
eillibited fuch marks of the luperiority of fcience as
was fcarcely ever witneff.d ; for firth a head as his
was never feen. He continued to fight in this Rate,
and feveral times brought the betting level, for Ryan
hailed the finifh of a round, as he had a very truer-
blefoore cußomer.

Clark, after fighting an hour and ten minutes.
proved himfelf of all others the bell bottom man in
the lig of fighters, although he is a novice in the
fcience. He fell on a blow he attempted to make.
and fuch was his fatigue tha: he could not hit again.
Ryan was confequeutly declared vi4tor, and received
a fubfctiption purfe. Seventy-two rounds were
fought. Ryan was a good dial puniihed.

About four o'clock on Friday no-rning the s3th
init. as the mail coach was palling through great
Bakeham•lane, near Egham, the coachman and
guard difcovered a decently dreffed young woman
[ying in the road, apparently in the agonies of death ;
they interrogated her refpeeting her fituation, and
how the came there, but could not get ally thing in-
telligible from her; whereupon they very humanely
alarmed the people at the fink houfe they came to,
(the Pack Harfe, on Egham Hill) who procured af-
fiflance and fent to her relief, but, before it arrived,
the was quite dead. It appeared, on examining the
body, that one of her legs was broken and much la-
cerated, apparently with fome (harp inflrument ; (he
was glib very much biuifed on different parts of the
hotly. From what has fince tranfpired, it is conjec-
tured (he came either from thelfle of Wight, Winchef-
ter, or Southampton. At Farnham the agreed with the
driver of ilrookman's waggon to ride with him to
London, whither it appeared the was going. An
Irifhman alto got into the waggon with her at Farn-
ham, but whether lie had before been in her company
is not afcertained : however, they came on together
through Bagfhot—foon after. they hal paired that
place, the waggoner retired to fleep in the waggon,
leaving another man to drive. So that whether the
unfortunate woman fell out of the waggon, or how
the received the injuries that occafioned her death
remains doubtful. The Irillintan who accompanied
her was taken into cuttody by one of the parilh offi-
cers the fame morning, but intlead of being taken
before a magiltrate, or lodged in a place of (murky,
he was very imprudently fent to the workhoak, an
old infecure building, from whence he cfcaped the
fame night, and has not rime been heard of, wine?:
occasions a Strong fufpicion of guilt to be *mac:led to
him; more particularly as his (mall clothes, turn and
bloody, were found on the common, at no great dif-
lance from where the young woman lay: and he went
the fame morning to the houfs of Edward Welbe•
love, on Lnglefield Common, where he begged en old
pair of trowfers, laying his breeches had been torn vff
in a tray at Aleut races !—An inquest was held on
the body of the young woman on Saturday ferinight.
when the waggoner was brought up; but hedeclaritrg,
that on his going to fleep he left both the fritiman
and the young woman in the wagon, and that be
did not afterwards know what became rf them ; and
neither the fellow. nor the mar: who asiaally drove
the waggon at the time, being be t.cuntl ; and a
(orgasm Rating that the immediate caulc of her death
was the bottling of a principai artery, which roc& be
done in a fall—induced the Jury to return a verdict
of arridtera: death and to lay a fine of 201. on the
waggoner, for being atletp.—Several very fufpicioua
ciretunfkanecs having fince tranfpired, we node; :lewd

' LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KINO's 1011,11,20, JUNE ss.
THE KING V. ROSERT 'CFl:miry AND Astor um
The defendants, Robert 'anti Hinir Kennett, father
and fon, were bronght up to receive the lodgment ut
the Court, having been conviettal of a E../nlpiracy to
do ..1 the creditors' Of the foyer.
Mr. Plaice Gaon ay./eery. reprehended the de
fenilants for their condid, and defignated their of
fe• re as a wicked and abominable eonfpiraey. He
was particularly fevere in his animadverfions open
the condua of the father. *tole drcrings. he
..fa4l,
it • ; ato !long parental feeling about nim,
mull he aggravated by the reenllettion that to his le-
&aim) and evil example his fon was indebted for his
then degraded fituation. His profpetts in life, in all
probability, were ruined. and his charatter deltroyed.
His Loidfhip further obferved, that to fix a fine upon•
them might operate as A pet petnal iroprif,nment' as
they werealready charged inexcewion for firms which
promifed a long and tediols re!lr.tint upon their liber•
ty ; yet it was neceffirry to mark 'be tranfaelion. The
defendants had perve.ted the law. and that which
the Legiflatore had intended firtuld be of benefit to'
creditors, they had converted into a fraud upon their
jolt demands. Under all the circumllances of the
cafe, the Court orsh.red and adjudged that Robert
Kennett, the father, fhodd be committed to the cuf-
tody of the Marfhal of the Marlhallea for twelve
calendar months, and to hand in the pillory, once
within that period, in the middle of Oxford-14w,
oppofite New Bond Reece ; and that Henry Kennett
be imprilonedin the fame prifon for a like term.
TIES KING V. Till BISHOP OT OXFORD.
This was a quefiion on an agreement laid tel be
fimoniacal. By the Statute of Simony, in the time of
Elizabeth, it is enatled, " that if any perfon or per.
font, &c. (hall, by realms of any promife, agreement,-
&e. direaly or indirealy ;ardent or collate any per-
lon to any benefice, or cure of fools, &c or give the
fame for fuch corrupt cattle, every inflitution, in con.
fequence of fuch praAices, (hall be void, and the
crown in future (hall have the right of 'relenting,
collating, &c.
A rule had been ohmined to (hew tau& whys woo
bow Mould not itfoe, calling upon the Billow of Ox-
ford to licence the Rev. Iliac Knight to officiate in
the facred duties in the village of Peddington, in
Antbroledale.
Sir VICARY Grass and Mr. Amp. (hewed caufe
againfi this rule. They Paid, that in the year 1481,
the curacy was feparated from the vicarage of Am-
broledale, and was endowed with this fmall tithes.—
On the 7th of May, aloi, Mr. Cockerell, the late
Curate, died, and Mr. Pearfon was nominated by the
inhabitants in the September following, to whom the
Who,' objefted, on the ground that he was fo elated
in confequence of a fimoniacal agreement, the inten-
tion of which was to deprive the curacy in future of
the (mall tithes, on an additional emolument of 301.
a year to aol. before received; whereas the fmall
tithes were valued at 1301 annually. After the rejec-
tion of Mr. Pearfon. Mr. lase Knight was nominal•
ad, to whom the Right Rev. Prelate alfn objetted,
laying, " Having licenfed Mr. Matthews, it is not in
my power to licence any other." The Learned
Counfel contended, that there could be no ground for
the Masulartrar. as the prefentation devolved to the
Crows. in confcquence of the fimony ;mailed by the
inhabitants.
Mr. Serjeant WILLIAMS and Mr. Mitts read the
words of the agreement, and argued, that it was in no
refpeefiraoniacal, fince the incumbenthad fall power,
• after figning It, to eflablifh his claim for tithes, if in-
deed, he had any fuch demand. They cited the cafe
of the King w. the Marquis of Stafford, and they
Paid, if this Right Rev. Lord, who was removed
from Chtillchnrch \to the relacy he now enjoyed,
had confulted Kennett's Parochial Antiquities in the
library of that eitahlifhment, he would have been bet-
ter informed on the fubjett of this defence.
The Court, after hearing the arguments en both
fides, at great length, were unanimoully of opinion,
that this being an erclefiallical living, and the agree-
ment alluded to being to take money in lieu of tithes,
under the nattne of Elizahrli, it was a corrupt, and
conlequently a timnniacal coat aft,and therefore they
did not feel theollelves juflified in giving a manekntur.
The rule was accordingly dilcharged. •
Till KING H. RDWARD
The Defendant was brought up to plead to an in-
diament. profecoted by the Society fJr the Stippref-
'lion of Vice, for vending and publifhing Reis and

guilty, and being unable to procure bad, he was coot
minted to 'he King's Belch, until he Mould take his
trial the Sittings Slier Term.

user torture war ever inflified •
Mr. DALLAS anfwered, that it was referred to the
