BOXING.

139

The match between Plowersthellcksmith, and Ikty Mason,
the Trowbridge navigatoi took place yesterday in a field adjoin-
ing Shepton Park, Buckinghamshire. It was a smashing fight.
The blacksmith hammered away most tremendously with his
right hand; and at the end of the bth round the navigator was
so mauled, that when brought up to the scratch, he was unable to
whew fight —Flowers manfully declined hitting him, and Mason's
seconds carried him off the ground dead beat. Mason, however,
proved himself a bottom man, and in the third round, which oc-
cupied thirteen minute, he closed the smith's eye, drew torrents
of blood, and floored him by a hit on the gullet—but after this
he had no chance against the sledgehammer of flowers. The
lovers of the polite me departed well satisfied, and pronounced
both the combatants good men.

a child to him; I have' been intimate with him sit
years ago. The child is eighteen weeks Old ; he was
the father. I was fifteen years of age when be be-
came intimate with me.
By Mr. Rattla.—He was, the first time he became
intimate with me, fifteen years old, just when he went
to St. Bees school, and the intimacy continued since.
Mr. RAINS.—I must ask some further qnestions,
am sorry for it. •
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—The action most be
maintained.
Mr. Ratriet.—Had inu not better arrange it? -
The witnes;,in answer to his Lordship, said a ser-
vant was called in while she was confined. Her fa-
ther paid the expenses of the lying-in.
Mr. SCARLETT.—We have made two distinct pro-
positions, but they have been refused. -
While some conversation repecting an arrange-
ment was going on, the father of the defendant, who
sat before Mr. Ilifitet said it was a dirty action.
LORD Curer JUSTICE, after referring to a si-
milar case in Worcester, hinted at five or ten pounds,
and added, "the action must carry costs."—(Parties
having assented), his Lordship put it to the Jury
whether they would give five or ten pounds? 'He
thought they could not give mere. It'was merely
tile loss of service that was before them, or for which
damages Could be given.—Verdict for the plaintiff--,-
Damages £lO.

ADDISON V. HELMS.
This was an action for the recovery of damages for
an a,s4ult committed by the defendant upon the plain-
tiff.—The plaintiff was a man in humble circum-
stances, the defendant a Gentleman of property, both
residing near Ulverstone. The plaintiff, who was a
little merry, went at night to the house of the de-
fendant, and threw a handful of gravel against the
window in which the servant girl iept ; he also beat
at and broke the window with a long stick. The de.
fendant, who, from the evidence, appeared to have
been placed under delicate circumstances, ran down
the stairs in his shirt, with a sword in his hand ; he
saw the plaintiff running away; pursued him, came
up with him, and struck him a blow with bis-sword.
The plaintiff turned upon him, and endeavoured to
wrest the sword from his hand, and, in the scuffle
which ensued, he (the plaintiff) received several se-
vere wounds. A sword was drawnthrough the plain-
tiff's hand, by which he was so disabled as to render
it improbable that he should ever again recover the
use of his hand.—The Jury retired, and after an ab-
sence of about twenty minutes, returned a _verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages £2O. -

BRIDGE-STREET ASSOCIATION V. RIDGWAY.

This defendant was indicted fur willtil perjury.
Mr. TYNDALE, on-the part of the prosecution, re-
quested his Lordship to permit this-case to stand over
till to-morrow, on account of the absence-of a mate-
rial witness, who was expected to arrive in the course
of the day.
Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendant, objected. The
'defendant, he said, was a poor man, and had been
compelled to keep upwards -of. twenty witnesses. in
• attendance, who were necessary to his defence, for
'many days, at a very heavy expense—so great, in-
deed, that he could not-have been able to bear it, had
net some Gentlemen, who saw the disposition awe
was to run this poor man down, . came forward and
assisted him.

Mr. TYNDALE pressed his implication.
Mr. Baron WOOD.--I. will allow this case to stand
over until to-morrow morning, nine o'clock, on the
prosecutors' paying the- expenses of.• the witnesses
for the day. •
Mr. BROUQHAM said—Oh ! my Lord, there is no
want of money in the quarter whence this prosecution
comes.—(Looking towards Mr. Murray, the Solicitor
to the Constitutional Association,• who was sitting on
the opposite side of the table.)

Mr. Tynom..n said, 6: could not object to this
arrangement.
After some further desultory conversation, it was
arranged that the trial should stand for to-morrour
morning, at nine o'clock, without further delay.
• THURSDAY, AUGUST 29. _ _

At nine o'clock the Counsel on both sides appeared.'
Mr. Baron Woo D—l am ready in that case .of
your's, Mr.. Brougham.
Mr. Hopkins (the Clerk)—There is a certiorari, my
Lord, removirng. it to the Court of King's Bench.
W Mr. Baron oon—Then I can't try ir.
Mr. Serjeant HOLLOCK—No, my Lord, that is the
object; we are not ready.
r. Tybinsta--We are not ready. . .

Mr. Hopkins stated that there was another indict-
ment against Daniels in the same case, but he had faded'
to take the steps to entitle him to try or traverse.
Mr. BaronWooz—His recognizances are, of course,
estreated then.
Mr. TIVDALE--.0 no, no.
Mr.Serjeant HuLLocK—My Lord,we don't ask that.
Mr. BROUGHAM—Nothing can be more fair and
candid than the whole proceeding on the other side.
Mr.Serjeant Hum.octc—l am happy that my Learned
Friend entertains so just a sense of our conduct.
Mr. BROUGHAM—.Yea, indeed, the same sense you
yourselves entertain of the proceeding. Out of respect
to your Lordship, not to the prosecutors, I call it
"nothing but an oppressive proceeding, after we came
here with our twenty witnesses.
' Mr. Baron WOOD—Perhaps ibis a defect in the law.
Mr. BROUGHAM—And there are persons who are
extremely anxious to avail thetbselves of defects in the
law for oppressing an individual. The effect would
be, that when the period of Ridgway's- imprisonment
expired, he would not-be-bailede. hut ciewiiit4 until.
the next Assizes. .
