Before Lord aaaaa as and a Special Jury.
MATWASO C. RAM.
Tail was an action brought by one of the crew of a Snuth SOS
whaler. against the owner. to recover the amount of compensation
due to him for his set vices on a voyage to and from the South Sm,
A great number of witnesses were called, and the trial occupied
a considerable portion of the day. Fur the defence it was attempted
to he proved that the crew bad been guilty of insubordinate con-
duct and on the arrival of the ship at Milford Haven, tiler
refused to work her op to London, where'll?, according to the
ship's articles. they forfeited their wages. Ott the other hank,
it was sworn that the crew had conducted themselves properly, and
had merely declined to wort the ship from Milford Haven. because
she was in a leaky and dangerous condition. but the Captain refused
to have her repaired, and put these who required him to do so on
shore to shift for themselves as they could, without paying them
ally part of their wages.
Lord TENT aaaaa stopped the plaintiff's Counsel to his reply, is
timating that on answer had been given to his case.
Tie Jury, therefore, immediately found a verdict for the plains
t ff, the amount (according to agreement) to be settled by arbitration.

Mr. Baouartam stated that the plaintiff brought the pre.
sent action to recover damages for the loos of his daughter's
services, in consequence of her being seduced by the defer.
dant. The plaintiff was an officer iu thr Dock-yard at Wool-
wich. and the defendant a dolt in the office of the Clerk of
tLe ck, at t►e same pl ace. The parties were. thetefure, both
in the same rank of life. The defendant was ad ed into
the plaintiff s house as the suitor of his daughte► and on the Ist
of J y, 1/126, after an acquaintance of ..lout one year and
a half, seduced her. She suh.equently gave birth to a chill, of
which the defendant was the fuller, and both herself and the child
had been supported at her father's expense. At the time that due
took place they were both 'how 22 years of age. The defendant's
income is Oa a year, but it was nut to be endured that after having
committed this offence he should be allowed to pkati poverty and
inability to pay damages, and thus he suffered to escape punishment.
Jane Ashton, the daughter of the plaintiff, was called, and deco
posed to having become the mother of a child in consequence of
her intimacy with the d. fendant.
The Lord Chief Justice Bear summed up the case, and the Jury
returned a verdict of It 01. damages.
The came was undefended, and the damages were laid at 2001.

FIGIIT BRTWREN NF.D SAVAGE AND PETER.
SWERNY, FOIL FIFTY POUNDS A-SIDE.

The will between these two worthies, which had been inter.
rupted on a former occasion. and which, after a forfeit on the part
of Savage, was renewed for SoR aside, was decided yesterday at
Mere-mere' liedfordsbire, after an unseemly interruption by a
Beak on Cothey Heath, which bad been appointed in the first in.
stance as chit scene of action. _ _

It was three o'clock before the combat into were enabled to Mee
the ring. Savage, attended by Tom Gaynor and Harry Meg

condition, and, at starting. Sweeny was the favourite at 6 to 4
The " Game Welcbman," as Savage is called, came to the ground

pocket, which, from the length of his ride, instead of adorning the
outward, was devoted to sustain the inward man.
The fight lasted no less than one hour and fifty-live minutes,
During which time ninety four rounds were fought with great game
on the part of Savage, and with infinite caution an the side of
Sweeny, who went down at the end of almost every round; ode
the bold botcher contrived to chop his antagonist with great diet,
and succeeded its scoring his mug in a most pork-like style : and by
way of addenda, glued up his left ogle. The Welds:nu fiaugiat

Sweeny's cheek. on one occasion making a deep incision under
his right eye. This was the most serious damage done to
him, and the butcher might be said to have scarcely retrived.
a scratch—his bands, however, showed prominent marks of the
hardness of Taffy's nob, and were puffed to a most unnatural size;
so much so, that towards the latter end of the contest, he was Inca-
lotbk of administering punishment; and at last Savage was beaten,
rather by exhaustion and repeated falls than by serious bitting.
The odds changed repeatedly during the battle, the known courage
and lasting qualities of Savage reviving the hopes of his friends at
every turn. Youth at last prevailed—poor Savage became insen-
sible atom a tremendous fall on his bead. His friends, although he
lost, admitted that be never fought better, or displayed more sound
bottom. Sweeny, on being taken from the ground. was almost as
" far gone" as his beaten foe. and was so ill as to be incapable of
walking from his carriage to the Bull, at Harpenden, wimps he was
put to bed.

Out of eight hundred petitions. six hundred have bats
presented against the CstboUc aaims.

Dovaß, MARCH 2.—A very distressing accident ocr
cuffed last night: a boat had been off to the sloop
Newport Trader, in the roads with a pilot, and upon re-
taining, just at the entrance of the harbour, a heavy sea
struck her is the back with such violence against the
south pier head as to dash her to pieces; at the time of
the accident there were four men in her, who were left
to baffle with the waves, and it being excessively dark,
only two of them could be saved.
The danger of being suffocated by smoke, to which
persons are exposed who enter a room or any other
place on fire, may be effectually obviated by th- patty
eying a wet silk handkerchief singly over the face.
An Inquest was helJ yesterday on the body of Mary
