BOXING.
A well-contested match took plate
_yesterday, in a meadow
belonging to Captain HEINSIIAW, near Fern.bill, in Surrey. The
combatants were John Meadows, a farrier, from Warminster,
Wilts, and Stephen Tank, a butcher, for 25 guineas a-side, of
their own money.
The first round lasted ln initiates, ail occupied in real milling.
They first made counter-round hits on the neck, which for a
moment dropped their heads. A rally next followed, of the
most gallant description' until the spot where they stood to hit
was deluged in claret. At Length the combatants closed from
temporary distress, when want of acir nee at fighting was made
•up by a skilful wrestling match, In which, Tank was thrown a
heavy fall upon thaback, enough to split him.-2 to lon Meadovrs.
2. Meadows was floored at going in, by a nssix.-fer, which rent
bimbangints Olemesay, and spoilt him for the third and fourth
rounds, and Tank (who ones had a trial at the Fives Court) had
,decidedly the best of it; but both were bit hideously.
The Sth round was never exceeded in true courage, and
Meadows, who bad got out of Lao's pound, dropped his. aslver-
sary by a tremendous round blow on the listener, which spoiled
bim, after a give and take rally of eight minutes. •
6th and last. Both were led to the scratch, and at fit they
went again, closing and breaking away, until Tank was thrown
a somerset, which won Mea4ws the fight, as his antagonist
, could not conic again. .

coin* OF VINO'S BENCH, JULY 14. • •
cam. CON.--;CAMEZELL E. DELMONT.
• In this case James Campbell, Esq: was plaintiff,
and Frederick Delmont, Esq. defendant. It was as
action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff';
wife, and the damages were laid at 020,000.
Mr. Serjeant COPLEY stated the cas.. The plaintii
is a Colonel in the Chatham division of the Royal
Marines ; he married, in 1802, Miss Mawbey,
daughter of Major Mawbey, who was Barrack-\la:.tcc
at Chatham, a Lady, of whom he did not L the
slightest degree exaggerate, when he said that sl:o
was possessed of every grace and every accomplish-
' ment that could constitute a husband's happines•.
From that period down 'to her introduction to the
defendant, they lived upon the most happy and de-
lightful terms, and never did there exist a huballt:
more confiding, and, as *Vainly thought, beloved.
There was one solitary circumstance winch he wished
to state; it was, that the plaintiff had not been blessed
with children: but since the period of Mrs. Camp-
bell's elopement, no offspring had been predered
from her guilty intercourse with the defendant. The
defendant was the son of a crentleman deceased,
'possessing, by his father's &mit, considerable landed
property in Lincolnshire, and large personal propel t
His acquaintance with Colonel Campbell comnieact.d
about the rear 1802, at which period he seas a subal-
tern in the same regiment with the Colonel,
pleased with his manners and general deportment,
invited him to his house, and admitted him to his
table. The defendant soon after lett the country, and
was absent until the sear 181 h, when he again joined
his regiment at Chaliam, anti the former intimacy
was renewed. Ile was incited •-a great favourite with
the Colonel, and 'continued so nail January, 1819.
He did not mean to say, that the friendship bstsiven
them then terminated, but he referred tothat date, be-
cause it was then that the defendant was placed vita
half-pay, and as it was therefore necessary that he
should return to Chatham to settle his affairs, Col.
Campbell invited him to take up his resideace at his
house during the period that he might be detained
by his arrangements.
.lie did reside there for three
or four weeks, and when he had settled his .dtaits,
he left the place,und was absent for several months.
He wrote, however, at the e pirition of that period
to the Colonel,..cnmplaining of the disagreeable man-
ner in which he passed his time, and requesting that
he would procure hidgings for him in Chatham,
where he would have an opportunity of enjoying the
society of his former friends. The Captain proceeded
forthwith to Chatham, and remained in the house of
the plaintiff until lodgings were obtained for him. Ile
continued there until the month of* March, 181!),
treated by the Colonel with attention, and invited
every Sunday to his family table. Up to that period
the plaintiff had not the slightest, suspicion of the in-
fidelity of his wife, and it was not until three or hour
days before her elopement, that any circumstance cc-
curred from which he could have 'brined any such
opinion. But on the 28th or 29th of March, on Sun-
day, while he stood expecting the return of Mrs.
Campbell from Church, he saw leer, foHowed by the
,defendant, pass through a gate leading from the
'Church-yard,' and upon his observing the plaintiff,
he shrunk away and appeared altogether embarrassed
and confused. The plaintiff determined fram that
time not to admit him to his house. It appeared,
however, that a long. attachment had existed be-
tween the defendant and Mrs: Campbell, and she
determined at once to leave her husband's house.—
She continued there, however, for some days, during
which she contrived to send several articles of her
dress to the lodgings of the defendant, and ;wailed
herself of an opportunity that presented itself, what
her husband was absent on duty, on the 6th of April,
to join Captain Delmont, and proceed with him to
London. On Colonel Campbell's return from duty,
he was, as might naturally be expected, overwhelmed
with grief at the departure of his wife; his surprise
and astonishment were great indeed, when he found
a letter in her writing addressed to him, complaining
of his:conduct, and at the same time couched in such
terms, as made him. regret exceedingly that he was
prevented by the course of la* from Eoving its con-
tents on that occasion. He was, as they would easily
suppose, thiown into a state of agitation little re-
moved from madness; and as soon as he had suffi-
ciently recovered his senses, he• dispatched messen-
gers to ascertain what course they had taken. They
were traced as far as Storey's-gate, Westminster, whet e
they left the carriage and walked on foot through
the Birdcage-walk, where all traces of them weie
lost. They proceeded to the Continent, and were
seen at Dieppe, Rouen,Und afterw=ards at P,aris,where
they resided under -the names of Captain and Mr..
Delmont. It was not until October, 1819, that the
defendant returned to England, and that instant the
plaintiff instituted the present proceeding.
Witnesses were called, who proved the whole of
!the case; but the servants of the plaintiff, on cros -
examination, admitted that the defendant toed to Sit
up with. Mrs.. Campbell- in her dressing-room, wiA
plaintiff's knowledge, after the latter had gone to be.'.
Mr. ScArmarr addressed the Jury for the de:L.:-
dant, and commented on' the imprudenco of the
plaintiff, in affording the Opp:infinities which he !nil
done-for the consummation of his dishonour. II:
called upon the Jury to look at the respectives arts
of these parties; the husband sixty-two, and the v.
thirty-five! Could loie exist between them ?---T's
Learned Gentleman concluded, by calling on t'a•
Jury to make due allowances for the infirmity of
man nature, and be was quite convinced that his clie.a
would receive at their hands no severe visitation.
