done, because Colonel Fitzgibbon touched his horses. but began
cry peccavi whets be was ordered to find bail for both assaults..

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Monday an Inquest was taken at the Prince of
Tavern, Bi ixton, on the body of James Parker, ei
17 years, a very fine young man, who was accident;
►hot by a fowling piece.
Mr. James Hayes stated, that on Sunday last
with his wife, child, and nephew (the deceased),
Mr. Btrham, in Cold Harbour-lane, Brixton. They
sat in the back parlour for a short time after their
arrival there, when the deceased said, I perceive
have got a gun, Mrs. Barhatn.Witness desired his nepile,„
not to touch it; upon which Mrs. Batham said, her hiv
band did not allow it to be loadel in the house.
witness examining the piece and finding nn powder
the pan, he snapped it twice with the muzzle ender
fire grate; he then gave it to the deceased, and told'
to put it away. At that moment Mrs. Barham $
"Jarries, give it me, I know how to let it off."
accordingly took the gun in her hand, and pnictinß
muzzle towards the deceased, jocularly said, "
Nl
mind yourself, James;" at that moment the piece ism
off, when the whole charge struck the deceased Imam
the eyes. He instantly sunk in his chair a corpse.
Mr. Barham said he bought the gun for the pi
of killing birds in Isis garden, which was infest(
them. On Saturday evening he took it home for
first time, in order to repair it; he had no recoil
whatever of leaving it loaded, which unhappily pl
the case. This was all the evidence.

The Jury returned an unanimous vet diet of " A
dentally Shot," and ordered the gun to be forfeited
a deodand to the Lord of the Manor.

FIGHT BETWEEN NEAL‘'AND BALDWIN,

FOR .@2SO ASIDE.

The long pending match between Neal and
headed Bob. which was made so far back as Dec..
and which was twice postponed by mutual agreement,'
was fixed to come off yesterday, .4 barring accident'
at Liphook, on the Portsmouth roads The Fates, how.
ever, were against them in that direction. A worth,
Magistrate in the neighbourhood, being in the Comr
sion of the Peace for the three adjoining counues
Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire, issued hia warm
prevent hostilities in each and any of them. Another
Magistrate, in the immediate vicinity of Liphcol
was equally fastidious, and a move became inevit,
Here a consultation took place as to what was to
done; and the Commissary received instructions to'
ground in the direction of Wingfield, in Berkshire.
time was lest in obeying the orders from head-quarti
and by one o'clock the stakes were conveniently
in a field in Hatchard•lane. in the parish of Wink
Thither the panting crowd and foaming horses
afterwards followed, and all looked well for a fair
sion of the match, although rumours were afloat
messengers had been sent off post haste to alarm
kaks at Old Windsor.

As " time" was precious, little time was lost in
liminary arrangements; and all being in readiness,
men entered the ring, Ned Neal taking thelead,
tended by Harry Holt and Josh Hudson ; and
headed Bob following, under the guidance of
Crawley and Dick Curtis. Neal was attired in a
frock, and looked in the finest condition ; Bob
looked extremely well. In point of weight, they
peared pretty much upon a par, about 12at. Nils.'
and, perhaps, to appearance, a more equal match could
not have been made. The fame of Neal, however,
had never -been beaten, added to his having ahead!
beaten Bob, made him a decided favourite; and he "-
backed currently at 2 to 1, and latterly even at 5 t
and S to 1, so that his winning was booked by
friends almost as a certainty.

• THE FIGHT:
Round 1. In coming to the scratch both the men commo:4i
with caution. Bob went in first, and missed left and right—
followed his blows, and caught Neal with the right. He was wide,
after a very short struggle at the ropes.
2. Bob went in, Neal got away, and Bob fell from the force
kis own hits—( Loud roars from the Nealites).
5. Neal anxious; Bob, smiling, received Ned's rush, and
changed useless blows. Sparring—hit fur hit, all stopped, and
fell nn his back easily.
67. A Magistrate was announced, and the ring was di
broken in, amidst the greatest confusion. The men ksd then.
an hour and two minutes, and it seemed likely to last another ,
The Alagistrate made many efforts to get through the crowd,
to ao purpose.
70 and 71. Neal seemed getting sluggish. and Bob appeared
fast getting the favourite in must of the rounds. Bob fell bea‘
but had Neal's head under him.
Is the Both round, the Magistrate, who could be gammooed
Wager, took hold of Harry Holt by the collar and charged
1141 and assist him to stop the fight. The men fought another
without hint, in which Bub fell upon Neal's head again. As
then found impossible to go on with the fight any longer,
party took away his man, after fighting one hour and a quark'.
As the articles say there shall be a fight for the b.ittle-ntoney.
was postponed to a future day. At the close Bob certainly
none the worst, and there is little doubt but that Nears ba
were not sorry for the termination.
