The Tetsworth annual Coursing Match took place on Friday,
the Sttl of December, by tie gensti:meu of t.Txtsidge and Iver, who
brought into the field *even brace or greyhounds, and ran twelve
brace of hares without kl!ing one !
The Fiixton hares, on the wold of Yorksldee, being
considered, almost to a proverb, the best in Elfoett
as having two or three miles to run to a cover,
they have any chance of saving themselves, theoremic
of that estate, the present Mr. DENISON,• of batbys,
in Surrey, has given a large silver cup to be run for
by all the greyhounds in the country, and Tuesday
neat is the day appointed.
Lord MAYNARD, who was once one cf the hardest
riders after foiliGunds, has n w tr2conie a rguslir and
established follower of greyhounds, and attends tne
Coursing Meetings. His breed •f kr.yhounds cps*

Mr.VERNON, of Weniworth. House, Yorkshire, wbo

he indulged was bUying up every singularly-coloutesi

BOXINO.—After the Baler had beat Dutch Sam, on
Thursday, at Moulsey Hurst, a scientific
.battle w .s
fought between Lida and Lances/Pr for twenty-five
guineas. The former is a pupil of Racbmon4aud
the latter is a pugilist of much note. Tins .was a
combat in which all the requisites of fighting were
displayed. Eales out-fought his adversary, and won
cleverly. He has a.sort of Belcheronian knack, and
is .one of the best men of the thy. Nine rounds ware
fought in 18 minutes.
So great was the public rage to behold th.- recent
boxing match, between Krl9 wleparirthy and Dutch Saw,,
that, it is said, the turnpike men of oneThi sne nigh
roads, leading to the presumed place of combat,
offered the parties a present of ten pounds sterling,
provided they would fix on that spot; rati .nally be-
lieving that they should gain one hundred pgunds, by
the increased number of carriages and horsemen that
might pass in that direction under such circumstances.

LAII DrIELLIGENCE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC. 8.
THE KING V. PURIKIES. -
This was an information against 'the tlefii4utt,
Antilord of the Crown and Sceptre, Polef-raeet,
Mary-la-bonne, for buying ten gallons of spirits of
Brown and Parker, who carried cat an illicit distillery.
A messenger to the Board of Excise, proved the sei-
zure of • private still on the premises of N.. Pendell
and P. Smith (who called themselves Brawn and
Parker), together with I quantity of spirits.
N. Pendall, one of the above partner proved sel-
ling ten gallons of unflavonred spiritl to anis with
compounds. His partner, who has since absconded,
carried the spirits, one in a tin case, fitted in leather,
to look like a portmanteau, and the other in a sack.
The CoasatoN SERJEANT endeavoured to invalidate
the testimony of this witness, by stating,That previous
to bringing the information he had Written to the de-
fendant saying, that unless he was acceimmodated
with RIO he should commence the proseCutio,ni
Mr. DAUNCEY replied, that the letter tended to sup-
port, rather than invalidate, the only feet lbr the Jury
to try.
Mr. Baron Thom ism+ observed, that Pendall had',
conducted himself Well in the witness's box, and that
ouless participators in illegal offences Wereadmitted
to give evidence, illicit transactions could never be,
proved. Verdict, Guilty—Penalty R5OO.
COURT OF KING'S BENCI4,DECEMAER
-PERRY V. BOUCHER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a pilot,
to recover a compensation in damages from the defen-
dant, owner of the hoy Providence, of Rochester, for
an injury sustained by the carelessness of the defen-
dant's Captain, in running the Providence on board
the plaintiff's boat, the Neptune, whilst she was lying
alongside the Watley Isidiaman, in Half-way Reach,
on the night of the 17th of August last ; at which time
the plaintiff's On, a pilot also, had the charge of the
Watley. The damages were laid at X 679. The fol-
lowing were the circumstances, of the case, as de-
tailed in evidence :
W. Perry, jun. was son of the plaintiff. 'Witness
had charge of the Worley on the 17th of August last;
she was then lying in Half-way Reach, where there is
full-room for 100 vessels to lie. At this time there
*as only tme vessel lying there besides the Worley.—
His father's boat, the Neptune, was lying alongside
the Warley ; her head, was under the Warley's bow.
This was evening, and it became necessary to carry
out another anchor. Witness had directed his men
to get into the Neptune, for the purpose of carrying
out the anchor ; but had not thrown off the rope by
which she was attached to the Warley's bow. At
this time witness saw the Providence coming round
the point'at about five hundred yards distance. Wit-
ness sunk out to the Providence several times—" A.
:boy a-bay keep your luff ;we are on the ground."
On our hailing her, she put her helm hard a-weather,
and struck the boat almost instantly. Had she not
put her helm hard a-weather, she could not have
come foul of us. The boat's side was stove in, and
the fragments of her floated away ; the men who were
in her were thrown overboard. The boy then got
entangled in the rigging of the Watley. Tray ez
Was the name •of the master of the hoy. Witness
asked Mar how he could be guilty of so lubberly a
trick ? and represented to him the mischief he had
done. Trayner said it could not be helped—it was
no use to talk of it now—but the witness must apply
to his (Trainer's) owners respecting the damage.
Same days after witness applied, as directed, to the
leivnerof the Providence ; who said his mien' had
said .nothing to him of the accident, but he would en-
quire into- the circumstances, .and, if the statemeht
should be correct, and his hoy had done the• damage,
be would make it good. At the time the hey ran
foul of the boat shelnad a hawser and anchor on haird
The anchor, which was the property of the
was broken ; the hawser was lost, but it belonged 'to
the Worley: • The whole amount of damage doneto
thelsoatwas ,879,
Several other witnesses were called, who deposed to
the same facts. 7
- •
Trayner (the master of the hoy,) upon his eleinina-
lion, said, that in the state the Indianan 110, them-
• litigation was dangerous : when he got near, he in-
tended to pass to windward of her.. Helviai at-the
helm, and should have gone quite eleat'OUthe Won-
ky, and the boat, if his lower gaff-halyardliritik‘ had
net went. When this broke the peak lowered, and
his vessel flew from the wind directly. He did every.
thing he could to prevent the accident happening ;
be was' going at five or six knots an how, and did not
beiethets hail till they tale 'within a Shies length
of the boat.

This witness, in his cross-examination, excited con-
siderable risibility-by the appellation whi'eb he bestow-
ed upon Mr. Attorney-General.
ATTORN IMGEN MAL—i How *ride is the river at
the place where this accident happened ?" Witness
—" Can't say. the width, my learned."
ATI OEN GENIMAI?" How many ships can lie
there in safety r' Witness—" Perhaps five or six, niy
learned. I told Mr. llouchier of the accident. Says
I, I've staved a bait, have you seen any body here en-
quiring about it ? flksays, no; and then away I went.
The pilot did saree Me it was a d—d lubberly job.
I wocid sweit forty-oaths that the vessel could not
be stopped in lest that' two or 'three minutes. The;
passage was dangereas—it was love What like a turn.,
pike, with the bigg,tgate shut, and only room just
to milk through."
Several witnesses spoke to the breaking cf the hook,
and gave'it as Their opinion that the vessetwould wear
round in consecpsence.
The Jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Da-
mages £75.
DEC. 9..--JENNINGS V. GILMAN.
This was an action to recover 020-from the- de-
fendant, money paid
.to him by theplaintiff, tinder the
following eireanistances :—The plaintiff, it-appeared,.
wis a gentlerhan's servant ; and tic defendant kept
a public house at Kensington. The plaintiff wislung
to take this house, it was agreed that he should give
the defendant ft certain sum for it, and 020 Was paid
by way of deposit- It afterwards occurred to the, pat-
ties, that probably the landlord might not approve of '
Jennings as a tenant. It was then agreed, that an
application should be made to Mr. Seech, the landlord'
of the house ; end if his assent could be not gained
then the £2O veas tb be returned. Application was
accordingly made to Mr. Beech, who, on enquiry, re-
