BULL BAITING, &c.—The Amateurs cf the Fine
Arts were molt amply gratified on Thurfday, on a
Common near Hendon, by baiting of a game bull.
Nearly fifty dogs were let loofe. The bull, however,
beat them all as quietly as if he had been only tingly
combated. The dogs were of the belt and highett
blood, neither were they very poorly feconded, for
Lord DURSLEY and the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN
each run theis dogs themfelves at the bull. Lord
YARMOUTH, Sir H. PEYTON, Hon. MASSEY DAWSON,
General GRAHAM, 808 ALLEN, and a numerous lilt
of the Young Bloods of the Day, graced this feftival,
fo much the pride of the lower dafs. _ _

The Heron of the Fiji, both Jews and Gentiles, were
in great plenty ; and having been indulged at the
conclufiln of the ha public fight with a bull bait,
they now (corned to be "outdone in couriefj,," and Coon
hocked up a fight between two Heroes; one known
as an old one, the other as gad a dandy ; in which,
as there was no fcience, there was little pleafure to
the Amateurs.

A very fair made athletic Bargeman happening
to fay in the hearing of jac4lim, that he could beat
any man on the ground, cab very drily interrogated
whether he would fight any man? and having replied
in the affirmative, Richmond, the black, fet to with
him for a purfe of ten Guineas, collated from the
Gentlemen prefent ; and nearly beat the Bargeman
to death in about half an hour, leaving him as an
example and proof, that (kill will beat ftrength or
flue ; or, in other w-Ids, that the fcience of pugi-
lifm is proof againft the attacks of every ruffian
pretender.
The day's (port concluded by a match being made
between Dutch Sant and Tom Belcher, for a Hundred
Guineas, to be fought in five weeks; which, for (kill
and bottom, will not be inferior to' any in the annals
of pngilifm.
Tom Gulley is alto to fight a very large man in about
a month. The name of the new man is Gregfon : he
is fix feet one inch high, and ftrOng in proportion,
and has as yet never been beaten.
Finch and goner, the two men who were apprehen-
ded in the Commercial Road,are both. we underfland,
returned from tranfpo►tatson.
Previous to Finch's firing at the Officers, who only
knew that he was in the houfe, he faid to Jones, who
did not poffefs that daring fpisit which he did—
" Now, d—n your eyes, as yea can't fight, can you
run away ?" But his alarm was fo great, that he
could fly to no other place for refuge than the
chimney.
Finch fired a confiderable number of times at the
Officers ; and had he been fupported there is every
reafon to believe he would not have been fecured; for
the Officers found five piflols, half a peck of balls,
and a great quantity of powder. After having fired
as long as he thought proper, he threw up the win-
dow, and faid to the Officers, " Now do you ceafe
firing, and I'll furrender my cattle:" he then jumped
out of the window, which was not a great' way from
the ground.
When atked what induced him to fire at the Offi-
cers, he faid—" I know I fhall be hanged, and there-
fore it makes little difference to me what for:"
It was not till after he had furrendered, and the
Officers came to fearch the bottle, that they knew
Jones was there : the latter immediately delivered
himfelf up.
Finch and Jones, and Chadwick and Bryant (the
two men fiat taken up) are loon to undergo an exa-
mination at Whitechapel office.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP EXCHEQUER, JUNE iB.

tlil ICING V. JAMES DUNN.
This was an information on behalf of our Save-
reign Lord the King, againft the defendant and
others, for fmuggling divers goods, fuch as tobacco,
pepper, fpirits, &c. from a (hip called the Heave, off
the coaft of Kent, near Margate. This fhip was
firft teen about five miles from the (bore, on the
tytth September, iBo6, and two or three days after,
about the fame fpot ; the was alfo leen lying•to
on the sth of Odober, nearer the Chore, and when
boarded, was found quite unladen ; there was evi•
deuce very iagenioully made out, of the tobacco
having been lately taken out of her, by the fmell
thereof remaining Rrong under deck ; as alto of the
pepper and fpirits ; and it teemed, from the ap-
pearance of the ballet, that the lading had been
bat very recently taken out. On approaching the
veal, piftols were prefenred at the Revenue Offi-
cers, with a menace that the brains of the WU man
attempting to board her fhould be blown out; bat the
firft wieners, the mate of the B.s sea revenue cutter,
which made the capture, Paid he would encounter the
fire of the pi Rol, and immediately boarded the Heave.
No fire paired, but fame of the crew exultingly cried
our,' we have juft difhed you, for the goods are all
lauded," which turned out to be the fad. The keen-
fcented officers were not, however, difcomfited by
this difappointment, but fct about a diligent (earch
for the fpot on &ore whereon the goods were landed,
which they very quickly difcovered, by perceiving
the mark of the launch's keel on the land between the
marks of high and low water, which mark would be
effaced by the tide, if the goods had been landed more
than a few hours. Captain Matthews, of the cutter,
went in one diredion while others proceeded in a dif-
ferent diredion on (pore, to fearch for the goods, and
he found a quantity of the tobacco and pepper. On
the following day the fon of Dunntold one of the Of-
ficers, on hearing the fuccefs of the fearch, that all
the dry goods on board the Heave had been found by
the Revenue Officers, and Paid he had in his pocket
Sol. to pay to the Steward of the cut ter, if the goods
could be obtained clear from the feizure. This de-
claration coming not from Dunn himfelf, did not ma•
terially affed him, as he was not feen perfonally by
any of the Officers.
The cafe, on behalf of the Crown, being thus far
eftablifhed, by this kind of fecondary evidence, the
Defendant found it expedient to confent to have the
caufe fettled by arbitration.
There were above thirty other informations tried,
without the flighteft intereft whatfoever, as in every
one of them the Defendants refpeelively fubmitted to
a verdid for the Crown for given fume and recur hies.
