APPREHENSION OF PRIZE FIGHTERS ITt7RY

On Tuesday morning last, information was given to the
London police, at Bury, that a fight for £5O-aside was to
take place that day, at Little Holcome, in the township of
Tottington. The police, as might be expected, took care to
be on the spot in time, and four of them, namely, William-
son, Wilson, Dodghson, and Montgomery, mixed with the
crowd without exciting marked attention. There were pro-
bably three thousand persons collected, of nearly all ages,
and of most descriptions except the respectable. There were
youths staring and wild as uncombed colts, from the hill
"
sides, and remote moorland hamlets, and pretty well mixed
witholam thelee gvs. moren
or
eight n
ial remmies” of the country were
red of the Manchester thieves and
was set out in regular order in a field,
bsseTh se
rbi
gahn utnd
up an old lane, at about a quarter of a mile's distance from
the public highway : the ground was studded with vehicles,
and many of the spectators were on horseback, amongst
whom, fortunately, was Dodghson, of the aforesaid police.
A foughten field must far transcend the descriptive powers
'possessed by a narrator so humble as ourselves. We must
leave all particulars of the battle to be recorded by the pro-
per historians of that branch of history, ourselves merely
stating, that the names of the most prominent characters
were as follow, viz., Charley Jones, seconded by Hammer
Lane and Harry Broome ; and Sam Pixton, seconded by
Dick. Smith and Molyneux, of Liverpool; the ring being
kept by Brassy, of Bradford, and another respectable-looking
personage, known as Black Joe, a negro, and an occasional
performer at the Olympic Theatre of this town. These names
having been adroitly transferred to the memorandum-book
of Williamson, of the police, he hastened to Bury, and was
passed on the road on horseback by Dodghson, who got blank
forms of warrants, and met. Williamson with them on the
road; and the two officers calling at the residence of Richard
Walker, Esq., M.P. , the names wereinserted, and the warrants
duly signed. • The other two policemen meanwhile returned
to Bury, and the whole of the London force, about six men,
took their station at or near the corner of Bolton-street,
where the parties must pass on their return to Manchester
from the field. In due time a hackney-coach came up the
street, having, besides the driver, two persons on the dickey,
waving red handkerchiefs and ribbons, with colours on the
horses heads : this was the party of Charles Jones, the victor,
who was"returning amid the huzzas of hundreds of his back-
ers. The police, however, showed little sympathy with the
hero ; whilst some of them seized the horse's heads, others
laid hold of the wheels, and the coach was stopped: the two
gemmen were handed froth -the Dickey, and Mister Jones
and a friend, not choosing to alight decently, were drawn
out like a couple of badgers. The whole party were then
handed to the station house, where Messrs. Wood and Wal-
ker, the magistrates' soon after attended, and took bail for
their appearance at the next sessions at Balford ; themselves
in £5O, and two sureties in £25 each. .The parties bailed
were Charles Jones, beer seller, of Rusholme, Manchester ;
John Lane alias Hammer Lane, brass founder, Bradford ;
John, alias Harry Broome, iron worker, of Birmingham ;
and John Leachman, alias Brassy, of Bradford. These
matters had been but a short time adjusted, when informa-.
tion was lodged at the station house, of a large piece of ex-
cellent cheese, about 301bs in weight, having been stolen
from the shop of Mr. Thomas Entwisle, a provision dealer.
I'age and Wilson immediately took the road towards Man-
chester, hevingn notion that the cheese would be found tra-
velling that way. They went about a mile, when they re-
turned ; and Page, being on the off side of the road, met two
men, and it being dark he could only see that one of them
sarried a bundle on his shouider, and they had about them
a strong smell of cheese. Page put his hand on the-bundle
and felt it was like a cheese ; and calling Wilson, the men'
were taken into custody, and brought back to the station'
house where the cheese was fully identified by Mr. Entwisle;
and on Thursday the men, who gave their names Robert
Regan, of Manchester, and Samuel Blackley, of the same
place, were committed for trial at the next Salford sessions.

an ox so fat that his shadow stuck to the ground for an hour
after he was gone !—Think of spirits ! I had a cask of
whiskey so genooine that, after drinking a glass of it, you
spoke broad Scotch perfectly ; and after three tumblers, pure
Gaelic !

The young and charming daughter of Palillos, only sixteen,
years of age,has been shot by the Christinos at Ciudad Real,
at the same time with the old father and the young sister of
Carnon. All the relatives and old friends of Palillos have
also been arrested, and, ere this, have doubtless shared the
same fate. The wretch Balboa is said to be the principal
author of these new atrocities.
