Friday morning early a man fell from the plat-

drag, from under an Eaft India boy. In his pockets

pers'to denote who he was.

FOOT Race trt Hvns Paax.—The grand match
which has been for Come time pending between Grin
ley, the boot-clofer, and the Brighton Shepherd, was
decided yelterday in Hyde Park—Grinley is well
known among the fporting men for I is uncommon
fpeed—he once engaged to fight, run, and leap with
Berks, the pugililt, for 20 guineas, the belt in the
three to win the money. They fought firlt, and
Grinley, after receiving one fevere blow on the head,
gave in. They next ran too yards, when Grinley
beat his antagonift with the greatea facility. Leap-
ing was the decifive trial ; Becks covered fix yards
upon the turf, but Grinley, with apparent cafe, ex-
ceeded him by half a yard, and having thus won
two out of the three, carried away the golden prize
IA triumph.
At eleven o'clock yelietday morning the Brighton
Shepherd. attended by his Trainer, Mr. Peck, ar-
rived at Buekden Hill, whilli the Boot-clofer, and
his partizan, were affembled under the trees on the
fonds fide of the Serpentine river, in confequence of
a difpute having occurred refpeeting the place of
fluting, for the Shepherd had been accullorned to
the it'd', whereas the Boot clofer wifhed to peg envoy
upon the gravel ; they at laft agreed to decide the
difpute by tofGng up ; the chance fell to the fon of
St. Crifpin, who chose the walk leading to Keating-
ton Garden Gate. The diaance was 120 yards —1
Upon arriving at the ground, the parties prepared
for action ; the Shepherd appeared rather too much
to referable the prize mutton—the boot clofer' on the
other hand, was as 'lender as a wax-end. At three
o'clock they were Railed by Mr. Bailey. The boot-1
&fir made the play, but was loon overtaken by his
antagonill—for fume diliance they were neck and neck,
and it was " now Shepherd, now Boots," till within
so yards of the poll, when the latter took the lead, and
gave Mallet Pan a clofir, by winning the race by half
a yard ! The rural fwains hung their heads in filent
difmay, their oaten reeds were mute ! but the jolly
Son, v. St. Crifpin, who had betted theit 14 wages
upon the event, carried uff their viaorious brother
to the favourite Air of—
" A Cobler there was and he liv'd in a Eta."

Grinlev ran the tzo yards in twelve feconds and
a half, which is one frond mere than the fame dillance
was run in the reign of George H. by the Lanca-
fhiie Hero and the Italian Jew for moo guineas.
A damp was thrown upon the amufement of the
morning by the accident of a groom belonging to
the Doke of GLOUCIPSTER, falling from a tree, by
which he unfortunately broke his back, and was car-
ried to St. George's Hofpital in a dreadful fituation.

Itellerday morningbetw- een feven and eight o'clock,
a Toot race between a gentleman of Rocheller and a
fetjeant of the Guards, for a wager of two guineas,
was decided on the road between the Star on Chat.
ham Hill and Rainham. The ditlance run was four
miles. The Rochefier Gentleman was the winner,
be ran over the firLt two miles in twelve minutes and
a half, and the four miles in little more than twenty-
feven tninutes.—This gentleman, we underhand, has
been engaged frequently in pedelirian exercifes) and
invariably makes ufe of the very tingular ceremony
of flogging himfelf with a (mall riding whip, which,
on fuch occafions, he always carries with him while
running, and applied the lath with fuch feverity to
his legs, that the blood abfolutely trickled down his
llockings.
FIRES.—On Monday fe'nnight a fire broke out
in the dwelling-houfe of Mr. EDWARD BAINES, prin.
ter, in Leeds, occafioned by a (park falling um*.
ferved upon a quantity of muffins and linen. For
lonic time the flames fpread with rapidity, and threa-
tened extenfive mifchief; but by the early arrival of
one of the fire engines, and the very judicious and
alive exe:tinns of- the firemen, and others who at-
tended, the damage fultained was lets Jealous than
might have be apprehended.
On 'fllelday evening hill, the warehoure and work-
flops of Meirrt. Kest r anti Co. wootdaplers and yarn
manntaelurer s, near the bottom of Wettgate,Wake•
field, were difcovered to be on fire ; and were in two
liuttrs entirely burnt to the ground.
Wednelday night the exter,live cloth.mill of B.
Gorr, EN. at Arraley, near Leeds, together with
the whole of the very valuable machinery, was to-
tally cunfumed.
Thurfday morning, about feven o'clock, a fire
broke out in the lower flat of the tenement immedi
ately to the weft of Virginia.fireet, Glafgow. For
tome time it had a very alarming appearance, but by
the exertions of the firemen and others, it was con-
fined to the lira floor. Very confiderable damages
WAS done to two Chops fronting Argyle-ftreet, and to
a houfc in Virginia•firett.

.COURt OF KING'S BENCH NOV. ts.

THB INC 7! FLINT, ESQ.:L,
I Mr. GAR ItOW--" I ant under the neceffity
,of ap-
plyingto the Court, for leave to file a criminal in-
tOrmatien againli the Defendant, for a scandalous
polling, and a molt virlent alfault. It was the
loft of a quarrel at a public place, of which too
many infiances have already been before your Lord-
!hips; and the Court, under whole animadverfions
thefe receptacles of fathion are, will ttoi permit them
to be converted into beer garden,. The perfon at
whole requefl I make this motion, is Colonel Thorn-
ton. Mrs. Thornton had contraded a bet with Mr.
Flint, to run over the courfe againft that gentlemitn
at the York meeting. The flake was five hundred
guineas; there was added a nominal engagement of
a thoufand more, with a view of attraaing public no-
tice. After the decifion, Mr. Flint infilled upon the
nominal, as well as the fixed flake. Some alterca-
tion took place between the parties. In confequence
of this difference, Colonel Thornton wrote a letter
to the Defendant, in explanation. The note was,
however, returned unopened, with the words, "No
anfwer required," in Mr. Flint's hand, written on
the exterior. Subfequently to this time, on the
isth of Auguß, a Sheriff's Officer was direded to
give a letter to the Colonel, which was accordingly
executed, at the fame time Colonel Thornton was
informed that numerous copies of the letter had been
circulated in various places of public refort. As
loon as the letter was fhewn, the Colonel knowing
it to bir the hand writing of the Defendant, refufed
to open it, upon which Mr. Ireland, a gentleman
prefent, who likewife joins in the affidavit upon
which I move, took the letter and read it aloud. It
was in the following terms !

Cocotace Titoatirost-:-After the numeretu letters which I
have addreffed to you, and which have been morbid unopened,
relative to the bet of a thoufand guineas won by me, and the
manner in which I have been treated, I sow inform you, thst if I
do not receive a fatisfadory aofwer by Monday, I Cull adopt the
plan that Captain Caulfield did, or perhaps the better method of
Captain Mays to enforce the fulfilment of the engagement; and for
the due performance of the above I pledge you tny honour.
(Signed)
After this period the Colonel attended the York
lingual races, and while he was fitting among a
numerous company of ladies of faihion, the De-
fendant came up to him, and laid to him in an
authoritative tone, Colonel, I with you to go out
with me.' Mr. Thornton not defiring to have any
intercourfe with the Defendant, laid to him, 'You
know I referred you to my attorney, and you have
mentioned yours, and no anfwer being returned to
my letter, you have precluded me from having any
communication with you.' Mr. Flint immediately,
with a view of provoking the Colonel, called him a
fcoundrel and a coward, and not perceiving that this
had any effect, he (truck him acrofs the head and
Moulders with a horfe whip—owing to the violence
of his proceedings, he injured, in a very fevere man-
ner, the ladies by whom the Colonel was furrounded.
In confequence of this affray, Colonel Thornton and
Mr. Flint were bound over to keep the peace by a
neighbouring Magiftrate. To thew the malicious
fpirit with which this affault was committed, and
that it was not dine at the moment of irritation, by
the affidavit it appears that the Defendant,previoufly
to committing this offence, went to a whip maker's,
and required to be (hewn fume whips. On fome be-
ing produced to him, he laid that he wanted to fee
fume that were (lronger and heavier, as it was for
the exprefs purpofe of thrafhing Colonel Thornton.
By this circumftance the cafe is confiderably aggra-
vated, and calls loudly upon the Court for interpo-
fition."

Lord ELLENBOIOUGH" In what lltuation is Mr.
Flint "

that he is a Gentleman of fortune ; he is called
Flint, Bill."

Lord Etttasoaovcii—t" It mull be drawn up

motion r'

Mr. Cantina-4 The trntli is, my Lord, that the
cafe has been fume time before me, but on account
of a piers of butinefs I was unable to move it ear-
lier, and therefcre I have been the real caufe of the
delay."—Rule granted to thew caufe.

THE KING V. BUCK, sect,
This gentleman had been convided of an anult

ftancestof whicb have been before the public.
Mr. ADAM, on the part of the Defendant, faid,

called upon to receive the judgment of the Court.
Mr. Gaztow—', I underfland, my Lord, there

In confequence of this intimation, the Court di

the Earl of Conyngham and W. Dennifon, Efq.
were taken as his fureties in 2 pl. each.
