THE BATTLE.

Rolm I.—When in attitude, the disparity in size was much
against Barlow. Not a whisper was heard in a ring of some
thousands, regular at a blow-up. The men advanced to each
other with much caution, and Josh. let loose with his left hand
upon the Yorkshireman's threat, which reddened it. Barlow
made a return blow upon the body, which moved Josh. off his
guard, and a rally followed, and some exchange blows took place
add a separation followed, when York bled at the nose. Josh.•
got within his nice distance again, and let louse left and right.—
The left was rather a light blow, to give effect to the strength of
the right, which told like a smith's hammer upon the side of the
head, andifooreci York as clean as a shot would in the right mark.
lie came upon the hard ground with such velocity, that his bead
bounded from it again like a racquet-ball, and he was lilted up
senseless.-2 and stol on Josh. and the ring very uproarious.
2. Josh. taking advantage of his success, and his adversary's
stupidity from the death-hammer blow, went to work again.—
Barlow hit out, but his fighting was at the body, and Jo•h. having
so fine a lead, with such superior strength, bit him down again.
3. Hudson went in and hit his adversary down off hand.
4. Barlow seemed to know a bit where he was, and hit Josh.
in his body as be approached him, but it was useless ; Josh.
dropped him with his left hand.
5. Barlow was hit down from the scratch, and it was evident
that Josh. would give him no time to get relieved from the dorse
the hit had put him into..

The 6th found ended the battle, and Josh. seemed to pay very
little regard to the Judge's observation on a late trial, that " a
man might hew his science, but not hit too bard." Josh. was'
administering' some severe punishment in this sound, when
Beklier in a manly manner got between the men and saved the
blows from Barlow, which must have been serious, and Barlow
being in the same state of insensibility, Belcher resigned the
combat for him. It lasted under six minute'.

SECOND MGRS.—A second battle, of seven minutes, was fought
between Ward, who beat Acton, and the beadier of Burke, who
fought Randall. It was pulley-haul/ and bloodless, and it is
sufficient to say that the fight consisted of throwing, and the
men are woolen ones to be called boxers. • It was a sixty.miles day
of disappointment.

HORSE-STEALING.
Samuel Wilson, aged 21, was put to the bar, and
indicted for stealing a gelding, value 401.
The prosecutor, Mr. John Gibbard, stated he was
a farmer, residing at Southern, in Warwickshii e, and
on the 17th of August last he lost a hoi se out of his
fields and did not see it again until the Monday week
following, when he came to London, and found the
animal in the possession of Limbrick, the officer. He
was positive the gelding was his property, and had
it for about a year and a half, it was a black cart-
horse, which he repeatedly used. Witness knew the
prisoner, who had been in his employ a short time in
March last.

Mr. William Wigley, a farmer, knew the prisoner,
and saw him at Southern on the 17th of August last,
and also remembers the prosecutor losing a gelding
on that day.
J. Limbrick, an officer of Hatton Garden, proved
taking the prisoner into custody at Islington, on the
19th of August last, with the horse in his possession.
Witness asked him if it was for sale? He replied in
the affirmative, and wanted 48 guineas ; the animal
appeared very much tjted and jaded. He then left
the prisoner in custody of a Mr. and in a few
minutes afterwards he heard the cry of Stop thief!"
the prisoner was running away. Witness went in
pursuit of him, and apprehended him in Leather-
Jane ; the prisoner then stated who the gelding be-
longed to; that he had taken it out of Southern
fields, and that it was a bad job.

The prisoner, in his defence, merely said, he hoped
the Jury would be merciful toward him. He called
no witnesses.

Mr. Justice ItICHA aosom summed up the evidence,
and the Jury, without hesitation, found him Guilty.

The well-known Robert Roberts died last Wednesday front a
rupture of a blood-vessel in the head, and was buried on Satur-

bourhood of Redirch, in Worcestershire, where he died. There
were about £4OO in the house at his decease.—A meirk Gazette.
