REMARKS.

']his Lancashire adventurer promises to reach tht
summit of a London boxer, in this degenerated day
of pugilistic talent. He is doubtless true game, and
resolute, regardless of fear, and of strength equal tq
his athletic form. It augured much to see an adven- •
venturer, who made his debut, fight at worst, as was
the case in the first two rounds, and then lead and,
win. He is effective, and violent with the left hand,
but not gifted with punishing much with the right ;
btft his practice will gain him that requisite. In an
observation after ti:e battle, Carter said, on being.
asked why be did not begin earlier, " You've wed
-nought of tight," meaning he had scarcely got at it.
Bone, as before observed, has shewn off on fanner
occasions, and he is a quick fighter, but being out of
condition, as alledged, was one cause of failure ; but
the more prominent one Was the hardihood and game.

conded the winner.
Another battle was fonght between two little gene•
men, denominated Cat:meat and Sur , , And it was
merry one in favour pf Meter Snu , when a Magi*,
trate did his duty in spoiling the sports in propria per.
sons, and his mandate of peat: was instantly obe)ed,
by a dispersion of the populace. The ring was
thronged wit!, the usual motley. Very few of thei
pugilistic corps were present, it being unseasonabk cos

his action in a Court of Honour, and pleaded his owni '

MILFORD, SEPT. 14.—A most horrid murder was
committed this day, on the body of James Dean, in
the service of Mr. Waters, who plies the passage from
Bulwell to Milford. A person, about 40 years a age,
dressed in a blue jacket and trowsers, describing him. ,
self as a sailor, came to Mr. Waters's house at rulivell
last night, saying that he had come from Tenby, was
looking for a ship, and requested a night's lodging,
which he was accommodated with ; and this morning, '
about six o'clock, hearing Mr. Waters give his boy
36 shillings, with directions to go to Milford, the
stranger said hen ould go over and try to get a birth ;
and if he could not succeed, he would give the boy
his breakfast,. and return with him to see what he
could do at Angle. It happened to be a very thick
fog, and the cries of murder were distinctly heard
from the Milford shore ; they were supposed to pro-
ceed from some boy on board a vessel, chastised by
the master; however, some time after, similar cries
were again heard, and a boat was discovered by an,
artilleryman near the shore, from which proceeded
the cries of murder, but in a fainter voice, and a cash
or something else was thrown into the water, after
which the boat put off, and was obscured in the thick
fog. The soldier alarmed some of the ne;gbbours,
and in about an hour afterwards the Bulwell passage
boat was discovered near Hubberstone with a great;
quantity of blood in it. Every possible exertion war,
used by the Magistrates in 'eider to detect the mur-
derer. About nine o'clock, the body of the unforva.
nate boy was picked up, his throat being cut ie,
shocking manner, with other mai ks of violence.

•LD BAIL Er.

Yesterday Benjamin GVord was indicted for mnr-
. • der►Att: P.►tru, k Doyle, m the parish of Poplar, on
'the'2stb of August last. From the evidence it ap-
peared, th.,t Poplar and the neighbourhood were kept
the whole day in a state of continued riot, and it be-
came necessary to call nu; even the military to restore
or ler. The deeased and ,the prisoner had several
battles in the course of the day, and they were seen
to renew them at different times in the course of the
eveuing, and were separated by the watchmen. One
of the watchmen, in patticular, remonstrated With
the prisoner upon the impropriety of his conduct, and
told him it was useless to pretend to be drunk when
he was nor, adding —" I have seen enough of your
drunkenness."

Mr. Peele, a Surgeon, stated, that he was called to
examine the deceased, and he found life entirely
gone, which he supposed m have been occasioned by
a wound which the deceased received upon the left
breast, and extended to his heart. The knife now
produced would have inflicted such a wound, as the
size of the knif, and wound exactly corresponded.
Another watchman deposed, that the prisoner
came to the watch-house in the evening, and said he
bad got out of a row by jumping over hedges and
ditches, and lie left his hat and jacket with a Mrs.
Ford. The witness was then induced to walk over
the ground which the deceased would take on his
way home, and he found him dead.
Henry•klamstead, a watchman, searched the pri-
soner': lodgings, as well as his person, and found a
L• rge clasp-11.de, (that produced in Court) which had
every appearance of being newly scoured, either in
sand or in earth.
The evidence having here finished, .the Learned
Judge observed, that the verdict could only amount
to manslaughter, and he did not think the evidence
sufficient even to warrant that, because there was no
proof of the prisoner having caused the death of the
deceated. Verdict—Not guilty.
Sarah Bennett was indicted for having murdered
her bastard child on the 29th of August last. Two
Surgeons, who examined the corpse of the child,
baying deposed, that its death might have occurred
in the birth, the Jury, under the direction of Mr ins-

tice BAILST, acquitted the prisoner.
Tema: Haig was indicted for the murder of his
wife, by cruelly beating and kicking her in different
parts of the body. •
Sarah Cox deposed, that on a Monday morning she
unversed with the deceased, and was shewn the mark
of a violent blow on the breast, and a wound in her
' arm ; there was no mark of violence on her head.—
Witness saw her on Tuesday, when she pointed to
her breast, and told her she had got the fatal bane
there ; on the Wednesday she died.
Two respectable Surgeons were then sworn, and
they deposed that the blows were not the cause of
the deceased's death, but that it was occasioned by a
, considerable quantity of blood and serum which had
collected in the ventricles of the brain. The Jury
then returned a verdict of—Not Guilty.
J. Jo/uuon, for stealing two pair of shoes, the pro.
• perry of W. Grey, privately in his shop ; and J. Ro-
herts, for stealing two pounds in notes, four pounds
in silver, &c. the property of A. Bates, in his dwelling
house, were capitally convicted. •
Thirteen were convicted of fislony, viz.—E. Reece,
for stealing two pieces of marble ; 'F. Barnes, for
stealing 30 yards of canvas ; Eliz. Clark, for stealing
a pair of pantaloons ; Mary Bruce, for stealing an
apron and other articles ; J. Holder, for stealing a
silk handkerchief ; J. Hayward, for stealing two
pewter pots ; W. Linstrom, for stealing two jackets ;
R. Perry, for stealing two shirts and two shawls ; J.
Hobdell, for stealing a pair of boots ; P. Cormack,
for stealing a kit of salmon ; J. Davis, for stealing a
pocket handkerchief ; W. ewis, for stealing two
glass salts ; and H. Howell, for receiving the same,
knowing them to have been stolen.
The following were also acquitted :—T. Oakley,
W. Perkins, Mary Lipscombe, J. Griffiths, J. Stur-
ges, T. Lelean, and M. O'Bradley.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yester4ay James Lawler and his associate were
tied and convicted of uttering three-shilling Bank-
tokens, knowing them to be false and counterfeited.
They were sentenced to two years imprisonment, it
being their second offence. Their' former sentence
of six months being only expired in July last, when
they resumed their nefarious traffic, and, under the
Act of Parliament, received their present sentence
and severe punishment.
Ma f Jones was also tried and convicted for the
like offence, in passing a counterfeit new sh►lling,
. 'which appeared fresh from the false mould. She
was sentenced to six months imprisonment, it being
her first offence.

IMPIETY OF CHILDREN.
T. Fara:word was put to the bar, charged with a libel on his
father, T. Farnsworth.
Mr. Arabin stated the case to the Jury • and from his state-
ment it appeared, that the prosecutor was formerly a respectable
beicklayer, residing in Church-lane, Whitechapel ; but, having
realised a handsome prep. rty, had retired from business inm the
country. He was a widower, and the fatht rof three sons, the
two elder of whom were dead, and the defendant was his only
surviving chid. His wife also was dead; her death lock pia7e
12 years ago having been caused by au abscess in the aide.--
since the death of his mother t' e defendant had been living a
very irregular course of lite; and his father having refused to
ccminue to .apply him with money, he had on vailous occaskns
threatened to murder him, and had at dill. rent times accused him
et bring the murderer of his mother. He had in the course of
the last 12 months written several letters to his father, in which
he had accused him of being a murderer, and threatened him
with bis vengeance. This was the libel complained of.
Mr• Farnsworth was then examined, and substantiated these
/acts. Two letters were also produced, which be proved to be
his sons hand-writing, and which cunt:Lined the libel in question.
The first letter, dated June 5, 1812, was then read. It com-

minced as follows:—" Murderer!—you forget the time when
you did the act. i was not In town; but your rocutess can
• errelerate it."—The word in the record was correlate, and the
j earned Chairman held the variation to be fatal to the count.
There was a second count, munded on the second letter, dated
je, to 6, which was as follows :—" Murdered—when do you
ere sn to desist from carrying on your accursed plan against :he
effst ring of a murdered woman t I have reason to curse and
▪ e the day when you first ,aw my mother." Here also was
▪ van Wen betwjien -the record and the indictment. the words in
the re, •ord being "say my mother." 'lbis variation the Chair-
van ai .o held to be fatal; and observed, that the rules of law
must be attended to, arid for that reason, therefore, and not on
account of his merits, tho defendant must be acquitted.
•1 be ye ry then found the defendant Not Guilty.
The sal le defendant was again put to the bar, charged with a
comma„ as sault on his father, on the Ith of May last.
7 he pruas cuter, who is near 70 years cease, than stated, that

be was wenches at the aeor 'et Ills stable, In tilhiteeltapel, on
the day mentioned in the indictment, when his son came up to
him, and attempted to strike him. He retreated down the yard
to avid.% him f but he followed, and with a broomstick, which
he Ltd in his band, beat him whilst on the ground. He called
murder ! and a Mr. Herlsert and some tither persons came up
and rescued him.

Mr. Herbert deposed, that he ran to to the spot, in conse-
quence of the cry of " Murder I" tie saw the prosecutor on the
ground, and Lis son beating hint with a broomstick. He imme-
diately seized his arms, and said, " You villain, are you going to
kill your father t" Tee prisoner answered—" I will murder
him ! Blood for blood:"

The prisoner bring called on for his defence, said—" I never
struck my father-1 came to him with that account in my hand,
and said, how can you treat me in this manner—Why should
yob rob me of my property, as you robbed my poor brother, the
night before he was killed in Mile-end—l ant the surviving son
of a murdered mother—Gentlemen, these eyes saw the hands of
my father perpetrate the horrid deed, and, not content with that,
he wishes to exercise his barbarity on my offspring—(pointlng to
a child which stood before him.) I am 34 years of age, and never
lifted my hand against my father—l would sooner spill my heart's
blood than do so. 0, Gon! no person can conceive what I have
suffered—l have been cruelly dragged to town by officers. So
far from striking my father, when l found that I could not get
my propert), I offered him my peR-knife that he might take my
!Pe as he had taken my mother's.''
The manner of delivering this rhapsody savoured strongly of a
distracted mint

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and he was sentenced
to be imprisoned for one year, and find security at the expiration
of that time for two years more, himself in £ioo, and two sure-
ties in Fifty Pounds each.
Prisoner How am Ito get my property out of my father's
hands?"

CUAIRMAN" The law is open to you."
Prisoner—." What is to become of my offspring, without a
roof to shelter her? Her grandfather's Louse is infested with
bastard children and prostitutes."
The CULRMAN inquired of the prosecutor, who was to take
care of the child? '1 he old man expressed his willingness to pro-
vide for it--" To both the children,' said he, " I have left £5O
a-year when I am no more."

bushels and three gaPons. It is common to sow 192 pints, or
three bushels on an acre, which, aecord,ng to the aboire, would
gave 40e bushels, or fifty-one quarters of wheat per acre.
It is a singular fact, that there is at present on a piece of bog
ground, in the farm of Nether Park of Closeburn, Scotland, which
was never before cultivated, a crop of potatoe oats, the general

that, in a variety of instances, one gr..in produces five or six
stalks, and each stalk three or four heads front the upper joint,
