and geuing away, but Robin would have no dada!, and wept in,
fleet and left. Tremendous hissing on both sides. In a close both
down, Manning undermost. •

23, 24, and 28. At this stage offtbe fight It was evident Manning
could not win, as every effort he made; to throw Robin off his •
guard was of no avail. The determined cautiousness of Robin
overawed Manning; -and the dreadful punishment he received
from Robin's right band, produced a frightful spectate. as he was
scarfs blind, and altered with blood, which fell from hint in torrent..
26 and 27. All in favour of Robin, who now found Ms man beat;
yet, to all appearance, the gameness of Manning bad a chance, as he
came up as prime as at the onset. and a more destructive round was
not fought in this fight; but, as before, Robin's tight hand dealing
omit blood hreberents, soon brought it to a close.
Ilassaing again came up, as game as ever, and made a very
determined effort to get in, but Robin, without waiting, went in
right and left. A close, and Robin threw him several yards. Bet-
ting, 3 to 1 on Robin.
29. Manning came up in a drunken state, and it was a stockfish
lb a halfpenny biscuit, for Robin let fly at his olfactory, which sent
him a reeling, and the round closed by Robin doubling him up with
a bit in the kidnies. Betting, 10 to lon Robin.
30. Manning came up again, bit very nada distressed, and Ro:.
bin, without cerentont, and determined to put an end to the battle,
went in right and left, and, by a tremendous blow on the left tent-
pie, lent him down, as if dead. When time was called he was net
able to come- to the scratch. The battlh lasted 47 minutes.

'the close of each round, mow blood was drawn than at any light.
Teen in our part of the country, for if Giver and Sampson, who

MODE or Aasaastwe.—A curious case cSisebefore
.the Commissioners for hearing appeals against the As..
seisments for King's Taxes, sitting at the Horns, Ken-
nington, on Thursday last. A tespectable inhabitant
,of Lambeth Complained of the assessment made in his
case, ,pn the ground that in valuing the honse iti which
he. ritaidea, .they' had included the land on which it
stplai, which he contended they 'had no right to &do,
*leo having been previously rated to the land-tax, •

therefore Claimed that the, value,-of the land•sh6uhl be
del:tithed froin the isiesensent, or, in 'other. Woraii that •
the assessment of the house should be Miele ci-dthe-rent _ •

The claim Was not admitted by the Cornmr.siotiers, but .S-
-the appellant,;on retiring, declared it to be his intention •
not to abandcirisjt till 'he had brought the subject under
the notice of the Treasury. •. - , ...
• Kiii‘sv Coerkiloaaititst.--In addition to the charge
against bedeld; for inching certain persons to con-
inn, the above bniglartand robbery, on which he is to
be tried at the. present Old Bailey Sessions, a further
detainer was lodged at Newgate, a few days since. under ' -,
the hand and seal of Sir R. BIRNIE, reciting among ,i
other things that the prisoner (George Midfield) is .
charged with'if receiving in the county Of Surrey, from
James Thomas, otherwise Davis, divers Bank and pro-
inissory notes for 10001. the property of -Mr. John
Haines, he, well knowing the same to have been stolen.*
It appears
by; this, that in case the evidence on the prior
charge should be insufficient to convict the accused
party, he will not obtain his liberty, but be removed by
a writ of Habeas Corpus to Horsemonger-lane, to await
his trial on the said detainer at the Winter Assizes, for
ithe County of Surrey.
MURDER NEAR SAINT ASAPHt—Wedhesday morn-
ing, the Bth instant, at a place called the Secre, near
IGlasgoed, within the parish of St. Asaph, was found
the body of a fine female child, with a large stone laid
upon its face, where apparently it had been lying since
the preCeding day ; and from certain. marks upon the
ground, close to the place where it was found, and the
'general appearance of the body, the unnatural mother
could not long haire been delivered. • A little boy, with
a dog accompanying him, had by chance to go through
the ground into an adjoining field, when the dog started •
a rabbit. The rabbit, as if led by a natural Instinct.
ran immediately to the spot where the body-lay, and
the dog after her; the boy finding the dog making ra-
ther a long stay, thinking he might have caught the
rabbis and was eating it,'ran alter him, and to his
great astonishment found him licking the little infant.
The bo'dy . was immediately conveyed to an 'adjacent - -
house. On the Saturday following an Inqueyt.Was held.
on view of the body, when several witnelaes-nereex-•' .
amined ;. and after bearing the evidence, ivhich was •,
most satisfactory and .conclusive, although eh:cannon-.
ti.4l, the Jurt found a verdict of ~• Wilful .'stn der against .
a young woman of Glantisorfa.' Iminystiately after, • •
the Coroner issued out his warrant. for. het apprehen-
sion; she was then taken into custody, and is to remain
until such time as the surgeon can safelyincinoaliceber
out of danger, and in a fit state to beconve) ed to the
County Jail, at Ruthin, to take her tial at nest Assites.
INVETERATE TECHNICALITY.—The Usual place of
resort for Dublin duellists is called the kiltoen Acses.
