BOXING.

The stakes of 100 f. a-side,. for the battle on the 7th of May,
between Martin and Belasco, was to have been made good, lkeq.
a-side having been already staked. No money was forthcomkg
from Belasco's backer, and the forfeit of 1001. was iletu.::ded
from the stake-holder, and refused, he having had an att.:ch.:x:l
from the Lord Mayor's Court issued against him that rm.:l:iv;
for the 1001. as being part of tl5Ol. obtained by )Jr. Pearsart
from a Mr. Campbell, a prisoner in the King's Bendi, to ,staia
his release. He had not seen Pearson since, and the Cues:
King's Nench was moved on Wednesday, and the in ,rev :7-
dered to be paid into Court. 'Thus baffled, the fight is otf, ta
the disappointment of the sporting world.
BELCHER. AND SCROGUINS.—A select party of Amateurs h;:1
treat gratuitously the other evening, in a gallant stage tight,
rather on hoards, with an outer ring, formed by tables, bezir,t
these two heroes, celebrated for their prowess on the J.
Moulsey, Crawley, &c. Although it was a lute fight, it setti:l
a perpetual snarl, and showed that which must have &Iv», I
between the men in the best of their day. Belcher had net I; :J
a turn-up for year:—no: since he commenced his let 4 :I.e
Castle. The battle was fought in a room, where there was
chance of its being stopped, and Turner and other profes,ie•att
hands saw everything right. Scroggins, it was sai,t, was ca..;S:
sweethearting with Delchet's cook-maid, and she smacked Ls c..4l,iiss
and then told her master. This caused an energetic row, xl.l
the action was soon suited to the word, both pram( fur the rat ,
with bravos from the looking-on part.
In the first round, Scroggy played off souse of his harlequina,!.
to get in at his work, and at length, when he made the rosl.
Belcher mat him by a chattering hit on the grinders with the :,
hand, which sent him to leeward; he fell amongst the stow.,
and dropped his claret.
2. Rather luckier in this round, Scroggins got in without thir,;
*ward, and sonic good hitting was exchanged. Saroggins
gaged himself, and got to work upon another tack with so:!•,•
success ; but !kicker's superior fighting and precise measare
latent gave him a most decided advantage, which stained t`...!
boards with the high blood of Scroggins.
The third and fourth were striking rounds; Weber was 11'!
hard on the ribs with the right hand, and his eye had knw,d
,tow; but scoffing trifles, he made the most of his adverszi
Booted him in both rounds.

The battle continued for twenty minutes, Richer contimilli
waiting fur his adversary's rush, when he trauststagrtfiA 1;1
visage, as one of the classics pr sent termed 17, into a trigheiti
spectacle. Scroggins, however, in manly form, paid a bit to:
receiving ; but, as early as the sixth round, he had no chance of
whining but by wearing out his antagonist. Scroggins at lery
gave in, satisfied with his punishment and manhood.
