Monq

Tuesday afternoon, dui ing the absence of a per-
son who was employed to clean the Chapel of Saint
George's in the East, some person entered it, and
carried away about sixty yards of the black cloth
used in putting the place into mourning.
Sunday morning, five Irishmen scaled the garden
walls of Mr. LAMBERT, of Barking, in Essex, and
carried off about seven cw•t. of potatoes. A pursuit
took place, when one of the thieves, named Patrick
Kelly, upon arriving at East Ham, dropped down
dead. One of his companions attempted to pick
his comrade up, and he was taken to Barking jail,
but the others escaped.

HA TTON-GA. RAMC— Thomas Graves was brought
up in-the custody of Thistleton, charged with being
a notorious utterer of forged £1 Bank of England
Notes.—He was committed fir further examination.
Bow-sransr.—Yesterdav, * case of considerable
importance to stage-coach owners, came on to be
heard before GEORGE FA BRANT, Esq. the Sitting
Magistrate, upon an information against Mr. John
Walker, for not having the name of the proprietor
painted on the coach. The Magistrate, looking tfs
the clause in the Act under Which the charge was
made, found it also describes 'the number of passen-
gers which it was to carry, and concludes with
saying that £lO penalty should be incurred for every
passenger above the number licensed,- but does not
state any penalty for not having the name of the pro-
prietor on the outside. The charge was, therefore,
dismissed.

MofteßoxiNt.—Belasco and Sanipen.—We stated
yesterday, that a dispute originated whether, Samp-
son was hit when on his- knees ; and at the same time
we stated, that although he was taken away, nothing
unfair happened, he not being upon his knees, but
that only one was on the ground, and so the umpires
decided at the time. The Gentleman who held the
stakes refused to give them -up until he had consulted
Mr. Jackson, who always arbitrates 'upon disputes.
The two umpires, the backers of the -bowers, and the
two men, had a meeting yesterday ; the Commander.
in-Chief presided as judge, and much warm discus.
son took place. The points contended for on the
part of Belasco were, that Sampson had not bothi
knees on the ground when struck ; that the umpires
had so decided on the ground ; that the referee um .
pire had no voice, because he was not called upon
,by the' two umpires; and that Sampson had lost the
stakes by leaving the ring. Mr. Jackson's opinion
was, that unless the decision of the umpires was at-
tended to, there was an end to their authority. The
stake-holder was ready to give up the money after
Mr. Jackson's opinion, and he strongly urged the
necessity of adopting his opinion upon all disputed
eases, which had always been done, and that to the
-satisfaction of all parties. On Sampson's part it -contended, that the umpires had acted collusively ;
but there was no apparent ground for the assertion,
and they refused Mr. Jackson's opinion. Belasco's
backers offered to leave it to a sporting Gentleman
of distinction on the turf, or to any body of men, but
this was refused also. The stake-holder agreed to
give up the stakes after Mr. Jackson's opinion, on
being indemnified from any law expenses ; and this
being done, it was given up, and consequently bets,
must be paid. The fight lasted twelve minutes and
twenty-two seconds, and although it has been stated
that eleven rounds were fought, six only were con-
tested. Belasco's friends refused to ight the match
over again, but they would fight for double the sum,
—Previously to the above discussion, Belasco and
Sampson met in one house, where Cribb,-
Belcher and others were present, and disputes havin
run high, another fight of six rounds took plate,
when ,Oliver. seconclqd Belasco, and Belcher handled
Sampson. It was a similar fight to the other ; Be
lasco gave his adversary a tie up in the body in the
first round, and his science kept Sampson's rush of.
Belasco's friends would not let him fight any more,
without a little cash was in the way.--The Bristol
Cabbale is bathed," 111# 100 guineas, against Marti*,
thetaker ; Irght oirtheilth .f March. A match
is on the tapir between Bob Bums and Tom-Oliver.
