BOXING.

loci Harris, the Wiltshire man, who was matched at Eptera
.Hunt Races, as the man unknown to the prize-ring, to kb:
George Lenney, whom he beat in good style, entered the ri;:;
yesterday morning, with Gilbert, the Berkshire navigator, 1
stone the heaviest, and whose character was that of having n•oa
14 fights, and put one man to sleep. The battle was for 4G
sovereigns, and it took place in a meadow at Thorn, six miles
from Strathfieldsay, the seat of the Duke of WELLINGTON, is Cie
presence of a strong muster irons the western nursery to:
It Isms a short but our and out fight.
Round 1. At setting-to the disparagement in size was ee.r.:l
to Neat and Gas. Gilbert ran in upon his adversary, but mis-
sing two round hits, a close followed, and Gilbert gave the fall,
but not without much wrestling for it. The men tried to t-..-a;,:,
but they wanted lessons.
2. The Navigator, in making the play, received a henry blcw
on the snout, and the claret half smothered him. He brake
away; and, after deliberately wiping away the blood, he turnnl
to again, and doubled up his adversary by a body hit.
3,4, and 5. These rounds produced no material mischief, as
both were too tired to commence offensive operations; hitt. as
wrestlers, much science was displayed, and Gilberts strerils
gave him the best of the fall.
6. A sanguinary round, in which both men were several thnes
hit to a stand-still. It lasted 11 minutes, and it was all figh:in:-.
Harris, for the first time, got his heavy right-banded blow platsd
on the ear of his adversary, and he fell as if shot. It was a I.•a~r
to a Icon-lit. Gilbert was as stupid as a drunken night constell:.
The 7th round settled the fight, by Gilbert receiving a cho.2k-
ing hit in the throat, and was carried away. Harris won it is
52 minutes.

COURT OF KINGS BENCH, MAY g.
nu ma v. lIIGHISOILL

At the rising of the Court, the defendant, Dr. liighmnre, w!..*
was found guilty some time ago of a libel on the King, and hu-
manely allowed to go at large upon Ms recognizance, presen,l
himself before the Bench, and moved for the judgment of
Court on himself.

The LORD Cant JUSTICE remarked, that the defendant on
former occasion, had consented not to come up for judgment.
Dr. Ilighmore said he had always considered himsel at libertY
to plead in mitigation of punishment.
The Doctor was then told he must give the Solicitor-Genrml
notice, if he really would have judgment.
Further delay was then described to be inconvenient, and as
the defendant had made up his mind to receive punishment, hr
did not like to be disappointed.
The LORD Conte Jusrica.—" If you will have judgmec:,
enter into your own recognizance, and pay a fine of le."
Dr. Highmore was still dissatisfied, and exclaimed, his 111:•
jest, has used me, his subject, ill.
The Loan Came Jerszscie—We must not allow any msn to
say that here. If you repeat those words, you must be tune.'
out of Court.

The Learned Doctor did not repeat the assertion, but held
short private conversation with Mr. &marry ; during which
the Judges left the Court. Dr. Highmore of course retired,
having taken nothing by his motion.
