MOLYNEUX AND M,GLOWN.

An Irish Paper c,asitaitis the following article—
s' As different reports concerning this intended haute
have been in circulation, in order to erase any doubt
that might rest on the minds of the public respecting
the transaction being deferred, M'Glown begs leave
thus publicly to submit a statement of the facts:
u On the 28th instant the parties proceeded to the
appointed place, Doagh, which was vastly crowded
with people 6f every • denomination. Molyneux
evjnced a desire to relinquish, alleging, he would not
get fair play from the people who appeared there
against him, and 'mentioned he would rather forfeit
selso than fight. This however was done away by.
M'Glown proposing to get a file of soldiers to pro-
tect him, which Molyneux refused, and said he would
take chance and go on. Some time before the ap.
pointed hour, Molyneux was put under arrest by a
Magistrate, of which circumstance Molyneux is
known to be aware ten days before: M'Glown, with
his second, bottle-holder, &c. appeared in the ring,
where they waited in readiness a considerable time'
but without the desired effect, as his antagonist did
not appear. M'Glown gained possession of Moly.
neux's fighting 'dress and sparring gloves, which he
is determined not to part with, until the original
owner gains them in the field by victory. In the
evening, MClown• and second, together with Moly-
neues second, a man of colour, left the place; whom
they conducted sale home to his lodgings in town.

DOLLitaawtYistetday this litsatlL2W was indicted
for uttering, and hating in his possession, a number
of counterfeit dollars.
Mr. Serje,ant Bosannurr. on the p trt of the Bank,
said, the present was entirely a new case of uttering;
in all former cases the tounterfait coin had been base
metal, whereas in the present case it was pure silver,
and the dollars were, in fact, of the same description
as those usually stamped at the Bank of England.
The stamp was. however, counterfeit, and there was
reason to suspect tha prisoner had a knowledge thatit
*as so ; and under these circumstances, though there
were facts in the Clan which induced a belief, that
the prisoner had himself. to a certain extent, been
deceived, yet the law was imperative as to the pu-
nishment. There were other counts, charging other
offences as well as uttering, but as the prisoner had
expressed a great contrition for his offence, and as he
(Mr. Bosanquet) understood, intended to plead
guilty to this charge of uttering. he would not urge
any of the other charges against him.
. The prisoner then pleaded guilty, and was sen-
tenced to six months imprisonment, and at the end
of that time to find security for six months.
Edward Coxe, a clerk in the Investigator's Office
at the Bank of England, was indicted for assaulting
Mr. George Pitts.
Mr. Pitts stated, that on the 29;11 of November he
went with a Mr. Norris to toe davit t Erqvalid to
see a re 2 note which he had paid to Mr. Norris. Aid
which was stated to he forged. Mr. Cox • produced
•
a Bank-note, which was stamped whit .t.e word
" forged': in various parts. Witness gavt M. Norris
82 for it, and took up the tour] not„ which he
put in his pocket, saying that he would take it home
with him. Tne defendant said that e e sh,,old not do
so.; and on the prosecutor insisting that he would
carry it away, thedrfendant collared bins, and searched
his waistc.,ar pocket. .Two other pet soils came, and
forcihly took the note from the prosecutor.
Kr. Setjeant 11:)SAMWET, for the defendant, sub-
mitted, that as then: it a statute &dais% it felony
for any person to have a forged not.: in his possession
without lawful excuse, his client had a right to inter-
fere by force to prevent the prosecutor from com-
•mitting a leloaty. As ro the note bein4 stamped,
" forged" with red ink; many ins.ances had occurred
wificii such marks had been discharged by che-
mical process, and the forged notes put once more in
Circisistif.”•.

The RECOKDER said, the simple question for the
Jury to Oecide was, whether an assault hal been com-
mitted, such as would amount to a preach of the
peace not?
The Jury Acquitted the defendant, hut at the same
time recommended to the Batik to adopt s.)ore other
tun rer,:.vern!; notes so taken from 'lrma, than
by suffering their own servants to rt.ipossess them•
selves by force.
